2008 JEEP WRANGLER Complaints

SINCE 2010 IF NOT SOONER, MY JEEP WRANGLER SAHARA 2008 HAD A RED LIGHT AND AIR PRESSURE LIGHT COME ON AND OFF AS A I DROVE. I TOOK IT TO THE JEEP DEALER I BOUGHT IT FROM 2-3 TIMES FOR THIS AND THEY COULD NOT DUPLICATE IT SO THEY WOULD NOT FIX IT DESPITE SHOWING A VIDEO OF IT. IN 2010 MY STEERING DAMPER WENT BAD AND I HAD TO PAY TO GET IT FIXED. I ALMOST CRASHED 3-5 TIMES DUE TO THE WHEELS VIOLENTLY GOING BACK AND FORTH DOING 50-65 ON THE HIGHWAYS. IT WAS TERRIBLE. IT IS NOW 2013 AND ITS HAPPENING ALL OVER AGAIN. I DO NOT FEEL IT IS RIGHT TO PAY FOR THIS WHEN IT IS CLEARLY AN ISSUE JEEP NEEDS TO RESOLVE. *TR
