What owners wrote

My jeep is experiencing the "death wobble". It almost turned over on I-85 outside of atlanta. My daughter was driving at 55MPH and there was a small dip in the road. The jeep began to shake uncontrollably. She could hardly control the steering wheel or the jeep. We were finally able to slow down enough (almost rear ended twice) and pull over. This is not isolated. We had the jeep in for repairs before and everything listed for repair of the death wobble replaced. It is doing it again!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Death wobble-have had this problem repaired and comes back. Cannot drive over 55 MPH in city or highway without entire car starting to violently shake. Will shake for about a minute and stop on its own. Very scary and dangerous. Have had this problem for over a year
