CHRYSLER STEERING LINKAGE Complaints

DEATH WOBBLE 2008 JEEP WRANGLER. BOUGHT VEHICLE IN OCT 2011, 5 OCCURRANCES OF DEATH WOBBLE, ALL ON FREEWAYS THROUGH JAN 10TH 2012. ONLY RECOURSE IS TO PULL OVER & STOP AFTER HITTING A BUMP OR GROOVE IN THE ROAD. NEWTONS LAW, EVERY ACTION CAUSES A REACTION. FRONT WHEELS WILL START SHAKING BEGIN GRADUALLY THEN VIOLANTLY UNTIL YOU CAN LUCKILY PULL OVER & STOP. ONCE STOPPED, YOU CAN START AGAIN & NOT EXPERIENCE IT AGAIN FOR WEEKS & THEN IT HAPPENS AGAIN WHENEVER YOU LEAST EXPECT IT. VERY HARD TO EVEN CONTROL THE VEHICLE ONCE IT ABRUPTLY STARTS. DEALER SAYS IT'S DAMPER NEEDS REPLACED FOR 250$. DOING THIS... BUT THIS REALLY FEELS LIKE THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL ISSUE OR COVERED UNDER A EASY CARE WARRANTY THAT I WAS DUPED INTO BUYING AS WELL. AFTER 4 MONTHS OF OWNING A 20,000$ CAR & NEARLY KILLED 5 TIMES IS OUTRAGEOUS. MANY PEOPLE WOULDN'T HAVE BEEN ABLE TO CONTROL A VEHICLE IF THIS HAPPENED TO THEM. THIS IS A CHRYSLER DEFECT & THEY SHOULD BE ADDRESSING THIS BEFORE SOMEONE IS KILLED BY THEIR FAULTY ENGINEERING AND/OR PARTS. *TR

2008 JEEP WRANGLER "X". VERY BAD FRONT END WOBBLE WHEN HITTING SMALL BUMP AT FREEWAY SPEEDS AND/OR BRAKING GOING DOWN HILL. SERIOUS CONTROL LOSS. KNOWN AS "DEATH WOBBLE". BLAMED ON FRONT STEERING DAMPENER. THIS WILL BE THE THIRD TIME THE FRONT STEERING DAMPENERS WERE REPLACED. FIRST OCCURRED 5 MONTHS AGO. REPLACED DAMPENER. HAPPENED AGAIN 3 MONTHS AGO. REPLACED DAMPENER ONCE AGAIN. OCCURRED AGAIN TODAY. TAKING INTO SHOP FOR SAME PROCEDURE. READ A LOT OF COMPLAINTS ON THIS PROBLEM. SEEMS TO TRANSCEND MULTIPLE MODEL YEARS. I'M SEARCHING TO SEE IF ANY CLASS ACTION LAW SUITS AGAINST CHRYSLER FOR THIS POOR DESIGN FEATURE EXISTS. PAYING OVER $22,500. FOR A VEHICLE SHOULDN'T HAVE THIS PROBLEM AND IF DISCOVERED, SHOULDN'T HAVE TO PAY $400.00 EVERY TIME TO FIX. CHRYSLER IS AWARE OF THIS SERIOUS CONDITION AND REFUSES TO WARN CUSTOMERS OR PERFORM A RECALL. *TR

2007 DODGE RAM PASSENGER SIDE TIE ROD END DROPPED OUT WHILE DRIVING APPROX 45 MPH ON BACK ROAD. LOST ALL STEERING FUNCTION, AS LEFT SIDE IS ATTACHED TO RIGHT SIDE. NARROWLY AVOIDED COLLISION WITH SEVERAL TREES AND A SMALL BRIDGE. TRUCK FINALLY STOPPED IN ONCOMING DITCH. TIE RODS HAD BEEN REPLACED BY DEALER UNDER WARRANTY APPROX 30K MILES PRIOR. TRUCK DROVE NORMAL UNTIL THIS POINT, BUT TIE RODS HAD STARTED SHOWING WEAR PREVIOUSLY, BUT NOT SERIOUS ENOUGH TO CAUSE ANY ALARM. DEALERSHIP WAS UNWILLING TO REPLACE TIE RODS UNDER WARRANTY FOR THE THIRD TIME, AS IT WAS THE LAST WEEK OF SAID WARRANTY. REPLACED PARTS WITH HEAVY DUTY AFTERMARKET PARTS AT MY OWN EXPENSE. DEALERSHIP HAD INSPECTED TRUCK ON A PREVIOUS TRIP AND SAID TRUCK HAD "UPDATED" STEERING LINKAGES AND COMPONENTS. *TR

I AM EXPERIENCING WHAT HAS BECOME KNOWN AS JEEP WOBBLE AND EVEN HAS BEEN CALLED DEATH WOBBLE. DRIVING AT SPEEDS OVER 50 MPH THE VEHICLE BEGINS TO WOBBLE UNCONTROLLABLY AND WILL NOT STOP UNTIL SPEEDS GO BELOW 20 MPH. THIS OCCURS AT TIMES WITHOUT UNSTABLE ROAD CONDITIONS AND IT IS ALMOST ALWAYS OCCURRING WHEN CROSSING A BRIDGE OR ANY WHERE THAT THE ROAD SURFACE CHANGES. JEEP HAS REPLACED THE STEERING STABILIZER AND DAMPENER THREE TIMES WITH NO SUCCESS AND REPLACED THE SHOCKS AS WELL. *TR
