What owners wrote
My jeep is experiencing what jeep owners refer to as the death wobble. Violent, intense shaking of the front end after hitting the smallest of bumps. Must slow down immediately to gain control of vehicle.
Horn stuck on until I pull wire off of horn. Air bag light is on esp light is on and traction control light is on. Research on jeep forums appears to be the clock spring. Many other 2008 models seem to be having the same issue. Please provide some resolution to this issue.
