Owner Complaints (1)
Your Jeep experienced a severe front-end wobble—known as "death wobble"—at highway speeds that forced you to brake suddenly and pull over, nearly causing a multi-car pileup behind you. The dealership initially found nothing wrong two years earlier, but on a second visit diagnosed worn steering components and replaced the steering stabilizer and right-side bushing for $853.94, which resolved the issue. This dangerous vibration should be inspected and repaired by checking the front-end suspension and steering components for wear or loose connections.
