What owners wrote
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.
While driving and the vehicle hits roughly 55 MPH the vehicle starts shaking violently. The steering wheel nearly snatches out of my hand in a violent matter. The vehicle feels as though it is about to crash. I have to slam on breaks, hoping no one is behind me, to slow the vehicle to stop the violent shaking. The shaking is known as the "death wobble".
