| While driving at 65 mph, my jeep started shaking uncontrollably and violently. i had no control in the car, the only thing i could do was push the brakes. i pulled my 6 speed jeep into neutral and started slowing down and letting it glide to the side of the road. still shaking as i am slowing down, the jeep feels like the whole front end is going to shake apart. all cars behind me slammed on their brakes because they saw i had no control of my jeep. a state police trooper followed me to the dealership. there is no broken axles, loose tires, tire pressure is good. they said they could not find anything in the express service center. this is a 2010 wrangler with 75,000 miles that is driven on the highway daily for educational purposes. there must be something done about this death wobble. *tr | |||

| When driving the 2010 jeep wrangler unlimited sport at 40mph and hit a bump the jeep vibrates and makes you feel like you are losing control of the car. the only way to stop this is to hit the brakes and hope that you do not have to steer the car since you cannot when this occurs. i called the dealership and they had a name for this problem which is death wobble. i also noticed that my tires wear much quicker in the front then the rear of the jeep. | |||

| E s p a deadly idea that is being forced upon us. may of 2010 i purchased a jeep wrangler unlimited. first weekend of september i had e s p failure. took it to jeep the following wed. they attempted to return it to me unable to duplicate, no poarts replaced. the problem did not go away . e s p failures have been happening since 2007. a safety device to save you in a crash should not cause the crash. only about 12,300 miles on the vehicle. factory stock. no mods. jeep buying back the vehicle will not protect me or my loved ones. the others will still be out there on the road. forced legislation of this will actually create other problems in addition to the failures. various hack jobs will be performed in order to remedy the problem but will actually cause more problems. i already have to dodge weaving drivers for other reasons. drunks are at least attempting to drive. has no one any common sense anymore? if i wanted to be driven i would hire a chaufer. remember the auto seat belts that threw people out of thier cars and caused them to be killed or paralized. ( i personally know someone that this happened to). how about the air bags decapitating children? that really saved lives there. let us not forget the recent prius failures. | |||
