| While travelling on route 95 at 65mph, i hit a bump and my fornt end began to violently shake requiring me to pull into the breakdown lane and come to a stop. this occurred 2 more times and the vehicle was very difficult to control scaring me beyond belief. the phenomenon is known as death wobble by people that have had it happen. i have maintained my vehicle on a regular basis and the really concerning part is the number of reports on various web forums. there is no way to know it is going to happen and the unsuspecting driver can lose control and crash very easily. if you need any further information, please don't hesitate to call me. thanks | |||

| 2008 jeep wrangler sahara stock. violent wobble. death wobble while taveling at highway speed, 60mph, i crossed over an expansion crack for a bridge. the front end of the jeep began a violent wobble back and forth until slowing down to approximatly 10 mph. this wobble almost contributed to a head on collision with a tractor trailor in the opposing traffic due to an almost complete loss of steering capability. the problem happened again at the same speed after another small bump. this is an extremely dangerous situation. after researching the problem further, there are endless factors that trigger the wobble. each problem may be fixed, but it will only provide a temporary solution. the wobble itself cannot be fixed under most circumstances, you can only fix what sets it off. the problem has been documented multiple times on the internet. it was also displayed publicly on the news, however chrystler has not been held accountable. | |||
