| As i was driving on a highway the front end of my 2007 jeep wranger started shaking violently. i had to pull over on the side of a highway in order to get it to stop shaking, which i was very thankful that the traffic wasn't bad and i was able to pull over. this as known as the jeep death wobble. it has now done it 5 times, 3 of which were after the dealership said they fixed it. the first time they put a new damper on it. now it is in the shop again after that didn't work and they are putting new tires on it. after reading multiple complaints online, it is apparent to me that new tires are not going to fix the problem. every time your front end shakes violently like that, the chances of damaging componants further increases. my research has also shown me that many, many people have had this happen to them and they have had trouble getting anyone to step up and fix the problem. if you do a simple search for jeep death wobble you will find hundreds of pages for complaints. my first experience occured on december 23, 2011, and my most recent experience was on february 17, 2012. 5 death wobbles in all, and it gets worse each time. having little control over the steering and front end creates what i am sure you will see is a deadly combination in any condition. | |||

| When the directional lever is put on for a right turn it does not always go off after the turn. instead it goes to a left signal. to turn it off i have to go back and forth with the lever several times until the signals go off. dealer won't fix it because it is hard to duplicate at the dealership. | |||

| I was rear ended and pushed into another vehicle. i was driving a jeep four door and my head hit the head rest which is very hard. i have had headaches ever since and the seat belt locked down so tight that my shoulder has hurt ever since, no broken bones, but something is not right. i know for a fact the headrests need to be evaluated on their safety! i have an appointment with the jeep place for another recall and that is when i am going to discuss the hard headrests again. | |||
