| I am experiencing what has become known as jeep wobble and even has been called death wobble. driving at speeds over 50 mph the vehicle begins to wobble uncontrollably and will not stop until speeds go below 20 mph. this occurs at times without unstable road conditions and it is almost always occuring when crossing a bridge or any where that the road surface changes. jeep has replaced the steering stablilizer and dampener three times with no success and replaced the shocks as well. | |||

| While driving 50 to 70 mph if the vehicle hits any small bump in the road it then begins to shake violently. there is a term given by jeep owners that have this year jeep called the death wobble. there are many of discussion groups online that talk about it and there is even footage on youtube. the only way to stop the wobble is to stop the vehicle as quickly as you can. not safe at all at highway speeds. why is there no recall on this issue? general motors was saved by the tax payers of the u.s. they should not be allowed to put vehicles that are unsafe on u.s. highways. i only hope no one has been seriously hurt or killed from this issue. my jeep is all stock from the factory. i have had no work or modifications done to it. there is no reason why jeep owners that pay $24,000 or more for their jeep to pay over $1000 to fix a safety issue that gm is responsible for. i have had a few recall on my jeep for minor issues and had them fixed. this is a major issue. | |||

| While driving on the road at 55 mph,went through a series of bumps on the road which began uncontrollable vibration or wobbling, and violent shaking, in the steering column and front end. front end and tires appeared to be moving left to right in the uncontrollable wobble. this happened at all speeds after hitting bumps on a highway and components on the front end appear to be visually intact. this vehicle is a wrangler x unlimited 4 x 2 - 4 door. all 4 incidences took place within 50 miles. this vehicle has never been off road. *ak | |||
