2007 JEEP WRANGLER Complaints

I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY, HIT A BUMP IN THE ROAD WHILE CHANGING LANES. THE CAR STARTED SHAKING VERY VIOLENTLY. I HAS TO PULL OFF THE ROAD SLOWING TO ABOUT 40 MPH IN ORDER TO REGAIN CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE AND STOP THE SHAKING. WHEN THE SHAKING STARTS THE ENTIRE VEHICLE SHAKES SO VIOLENTLY IT IS HARD TO STEER OR EVEN FOCUS ON THE ROAD BECAUSE YOU ARE SHAKING TOO. I HAVE HAD THE VEHICLE IN TO JEEP DEALERSHIPS ON A NUMBER OF OCCASIONS AND THEY ALL TELL ME THE SUSPENSION IS FINE. FINALLY THIS LAST TIME, AFTER COMPLAINING OF THE "DEATH SHAKE" AS I HAVE COME TO RESEARCH AND DISCOVER, THEY WERE ABLE TO PUT A LARGER STEERING DAMPENER ON MY VEHICLE THAN WAS THERE IN ORDER TO CONTROL THE SHAKING. I STILL FEEL VIBRATIONS AT EXPRESSWAY SPEEDS BUT IT IS NOT VIOLENT SHAKING ANYMORE. THIS REPAIR COST OVER $250. *TT

IT'S THE 5TH TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED. WHILE DRIVING MY JEEP WRANGLER AT MORE THAN 45 MILES AN HOUR THE FRONT END BEGINS TO SHAKE UNCONTROLLABLY. I BEGIN TO LOSE CONTROL. I HAVE TO APPLY BRAKES AND NEARLY STOP AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS CAUSING SAFETY ISSUES FOR OTHER DRIVERS. CHRYSLER HAS ADMITTED TO THE ISSUE AND HAS ISSUED A SERVICE BULLETIN 19-002-12. THIS FIRST HAPPENED WHEN MY JEEP WAS UNDER WARRANTY AND THEY FIXED IT. THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY CONCERN. *TT

WAS DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD GOING AROUND 60 MPH WHEN FRONT END BEGIN TO VIOLENTLY SHAKE. WAS UNABLE TO CONTROL VEHICLE. NO PRECURSOR TO THE INCIDENT. WAS IN VERY HEAVY TRAFFIC AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. CAUSED GREAT DANGER TO MYSELF AND SURROUNDING AS I FOUGHT OFF THE SHAKING AND TOOK IT TO THE SHOULDER. *JS

WHILE DRIVING AT A SLOW TO MODERATE SPEED, THE FRONT END SHAKES UNCONTROLLABLY AND YOU CAN'T CONTROL THE STEERING. THIS HAPPENS DRIVING SLOW, OR AT 60 MPH, STRAIGHT-A-WAYS OR CURVES. THE ONLY WAY TO GET IT STOPPED IS TO APPLY THE BRAKES AND COME TO A STOP. THIS JEEP HAS NOT BEEN LIFTED, IT HAS THE SAME PARTS ON IT AS WHAT WAS ON IT WHEN PURCHASED AND I WAS TOLD NOTHING WAS DONE TO IT. THIS IS EXTREMELY DANGERS AND SCARY FOR THE DRIVER. *JS

WHILE DRIVING OVER 55 MPH ON HIGHWAY THERE IS A DEATH SHAKE THAT START ONLY LETTING UP ON THE GAS WILL IT STOP. *TR

VEHICLE EXPERIENCES VIOLENT SHAKING THAT REQUIRES YOU TO DRAMATICALLY SLOW DOWN TO STOP. WOBBLES BACK AND FORTH TO AN EXTREME THAT CONTROL IS NEARLY LOST. COMPLETELY STOCK VEHICLE WITH FACTORY REPLACEMENT TIRES. TIRES ARE BALANCED AND VEHICLE IS ALIGNED WITHIN SPEC. ONLINE RESEARCH STATES THIS IS CALLED "DEATH WOBBLE" AS RESULT OF MISMATCHED FASTENER SIZES IN FACTORY ASSEMBLY. *TR

WAS DRIVING IN NORMAL ROAD AND WEATHER CONDITIONS ON I-680. VEHICLE STARTED VIOLENTLY SHAKING SIDE TO SIDE, THE STEERING WHEEL WAS SHAKING OUT OF CONTROL. I WAS IN EXTREMELY HEAVY TRAFFIC AND HAD TO SLOW DOWN TO ABOUT 30 MPH FOR THE SHAKING TO STOP. THIS IS THE THIRD TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED SINCE THE FIRST OF THE YEAR. I TOOK THE VEHICLE FOR REPAIR AFTER THE SECOND INCIDENT TO HAVE STEERING PARTS REPLACED, BUT IT DID NOT REMEDY THE INCIDENT. I AM EXTREMELY SCARED TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE - ESPECIALLY WITH MY WIFE AND THREE KIDS. *TR

WAS DRIVING DOWN HIGHWAY AT 55 MPH WHEN THE VEHICLE ALL THE SUDDEN STARTED SHAKING VIOLENTLY. THE STEERING WHEEL WAS SHAKING OUT OF CONTROL, THE FRONT WHEELS WERE RAPIDLY GOING BACK AND FORTH. I HAD NO CONTROL OVER THE VEHICLE AND NEARLY WENT OFF THE ROAD. I HAD TO SLOW THE VEHICLE DOWN, IN TRAFFIC, TO ABOUT 35 BEFORE THE SHAKING STOPPED. ABOUT 5 MILES LATER DOWN THE ROAD IT HAPPENED AGAIN. I ONCE AGAIN HAD TO SLOW THE VEHICLE DOWN TO STOP THE ISSUE. THE WEATHER CONDITIONS WERE NORMAL, THE ROAD CONDITIONS WERE GOOD. AFTER THE INCIDENT, I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO A REPAIR SHOP AND HAD SOME STEERING PARTS REPLACED. *TR

THE PROBLEM STARTED LATE FEBRUARY 2014. I TOOK MY JEEP TO THE DEALERSHIP AND EXPLAINED MY PROBLEM IN GREAT DETAIL AND THEY WERE AWARE OF THE THIS PROBLEM, THE DEATH WOBBLE. SO THEY CALLED ME LATER AND SAID IT'S FIXED. WHICH IT WASN'T I PULLED OUT AND ONLY A FEW MINUTES LATER IT HAPPENED SO I WENT BACK AND ASKED THEM IF THEY BOTHERED TO TEST DRIVE TO SEE IF IT WAS ACTUALLY FIXED AND THEY SAID NO. THIS BLEW MY MIND ESPECIALLY SINCE IT'S DANGEROUS. SO AFTER THEY PUT ON A NEW STABILIZER BAR I TOOK IT TO A NEW PLACE SINCE THAT WAS THE 4TH BAD EXPERIENCE I'VE HAD WITH THAT DEALERSHIP. THE BACK UP PLACE STARTED THEIR INSPECTION OF PROBLEM AND NOTICED THE STABILIZER WAS FAULTY AND HE STARTED WITH REPLACING THAT AGAIN. I GOT THE JEEP BACK TO ONLY FIND IT WAS STILL NOT FIXED. I'VE TAKEN THE JEEP BACK 5 TIMES TO HAVE THE FOLLOWING ITEMS REPLACED IN THIS ORDER: STABILIZER BAR/WHEEL ALIGNMENT AND TIRE ROTATION, STABILIZER BAR AGAIN, ALL NEW SHOCKS, STEERING DAMPER/TIE ROD ENDS, AND TRACK BAR. $2000 WORTH OF WORK AND IT IS STILL NOT FIXED. NOW I'M AT A POINT WHERE I JUST DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO. THE MECHANIC IS STUMPED AND REPLACED THE ENTIRE SUSPENSION SYSTEM. I FEEL LIKE THIS VEHICLE IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS TO DRIVE SO NOW I'M STUCK WITH A LEMON OR SELL TO SOMEONE ELSE WHICH IS NOT RIGHT EITHER. I'M BLOWN AWAY THIS IS A WELL DOCUMENTED PROBLEM AND THAT THE MANUFACTURER HAS DONE NOTHING TO REMEDY ISSUE. THIS HAS CAUSED ME TO ALMOST OF BEEN RUN OVER BY 70MPH SEMIS, RUN TWO OTHER CARS OFF THE ROAD AND IT'S ONLY A MATTER OF TIME BEFORE I GET HURT OR KILLED OR SOMEONE ELSE DOES. *TR
