2004 Jeep Wrangler

I HAVE A 2004 JEEP WRANGLER. IT HAS WHAT I FOUND, LISTED ON THE INTERNET FORUMS, DESCRIBED AS A "DEATH WOBBLE". THIS IS AN EXTREME SHAKING OF THE STEERING AT SPEEDS BETWEEN 55 AND 65. IT IS SO SEVERE THAT I HAD TO PULL OFF OF THE FREEWAY AND STOP BEFORE THE SHAKING WOULD STOP. NO ONE SEEMS TO KNOW HOW TO PERMANENTLY SOLVE THE PROBLEM. IT IS VERY DANGEROUS. *TR

WHEN TRAVELING WEST BOUND ON I-10 THROUGH PHOENIX, AFTER HITTING SLIGHT BUMP IN THE HIGHWAY, MY STEERING WHEEL BEGAN TO SHAKE VIOLENTLY FOR APPROXIMATELY 5 TO 10 SECONDS. I IMMEDIATELY BEGAN TO SLOW DOWN AND THE POWERFUL WOBBLE SUBSIDED. I HAD AN ADDITIONAL INCIDENT WITH POWERFUL SHAKING IN MY STEERING WHEEL ABOUT A MONTH LATER, AGAIN TRAVELING AT APPROXIMATELY 50 MPH ON AN INTERSTATE HIGHWAY. THIS SUDDEN AND UNEXPECTED SHAKING OF THE JEEP'S FRONT END IS SCARY.

I HAVE A 2004 WRANGLER RUBICON - ALL STOCK, AND HAVE BEEN EXPERIENCING WHAT I'VE JUST COME TO REALIZE IS THE DEATH WOBBLE FOR THE PAST 8+ MONTHS. I'VE REPLACED ALL 4 TIRES, HAD ALIGNMENT AND BALANCING, JUST TODAY HAD STEERING STABILIZER REPLACED TO NO AVAIL. THE WOBBLING CONTINUED ON THE WAY HOME FROM THE SHOP. ANYTIME I HIT A BUMP, THE FRONT END STARTS TO SHAKE VIOLENTLY AND I HAVE TO SLOW DOWN TO A NEAR STOP BEFORE I CAN PROCEED. THIS IS VERY UNSAFE AND SHOULD BE ADDRESSED BY JEEP. THIS IS MY DAILY RIDE TO WORK AND IT IS NOT SAFE! *TR

FRONT TIRE SHIMMY SO BAD THAT IT CAN CAUSE THE CAR TO GO OUT OF CONTROL. WHEN A BUMP, POTHOLE OR RAILROAD TRACK IS DRIVEN OVER THAT FRONT TIRES WOBBLE AND SHIMMY SO BAD THAT IT IS DIFFICULT TO MAINTAIN CONTROL OF THE CAR. THERE HAVE BEEN NEW TIRES, WHEELS, ALIGNMENTS AND STEERING STABILIZERS INSTALLED BUT THAT HAS NOT STOPPED THE SHIMMY. THE CAR HAS 30,000 MILES ON IT. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 JEEP WRANGLER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING 60 MPH, THE FRONT END OF THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO SHAKE VIOLENTLY. THE CONTACT PULLED OVER AND THE SHAKING STOPPED, BUT WHEN SHE CONTINUED ON, THE SHAKING BEGAN AGAIN. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A LOCAL MECHANIC WHO STATED THAT THE FRONT STEERING BOX, BUSHINGS, AND CONTROL ARMS NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE HAD NOT BEEN REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 20,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 22,000.

I HAVE A 2004 JEEP WRANGLER COLUMBIA EDITION. I EXPERIENCE THE "DEATH WOBBLE" PHENOMENA THAT OTHERS IN THE COMPLAINT SECTION HAVE POSTED ABOUT. I CAN NOT DRIVE MY VEHICLE BETWEEN 51-60 MPH WITHOUT IT OCCURRING. WHEN IT OCCURS I MUST EITHER QUICKLY ACCELERATE ABOVE THIS RANGE OR SLOW DOWN BELOW IT (DEPENDING ON SPEED LIMIT IN AREA OF COURSE). JEEP DID REPLACE THE STEERING STABILIZER, WHICH FIXED THE PROBLEM, BUT ONLY FOR ABOUT 2-3 WEEKS. JEEP REALLY NEEDS TO RECALL THIS AND APPLY A PERMANENT FIX. THIS IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS, WHEN IT HAPPENS THE VEHICLE FEELS LIKE THE FRONT TIRES WILL FLY OFF AT ANY MOMENT. I AM ENTERING TODAY'S DATE AS THE INCIDENT DATE AS THIS IS ONGOING, BUT HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR A LONG TIME NOW. *TR

I HAVE WHAT IS CALLED DEATH WOBBLE IN MY 2004 JEEP WRANGLER. AFTER READING ABOUT THIS PROBLEM IN VARIOUS FORUMS, I BELIEVE IT NEEDS TO BE ADRESSED. I HAVE DONE EVERYTHING THAT HAS BEEN SUGGESTED BY EXPERTS BUT STILL HAVE THE PROBLEM. THE JEEP HAS AROUND 30,000 MILES,AND IT HAS BEEN OFF ROAD,BUT SOME PEOPLE HAVE NOT BEEN OFFROAD AT ALL AND HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM. WITH MILEAGE I DON'T THINK THIS JEEP SHOULD BE CONSIDERED WARNOUT. THE PROBLEM IS STILL ONGOING. *TR

MY 2004 JEEP WRANGLER HAS "THE DEATH WOBBLE". AT APPROX. 45-50 MPH THE STEERING WHEEL JUST ABOUT SHAKES OUT OF MY HANDS. THE DEALERSHIP WILL NOT EVEN CHECK IT OUT WITHOUT CHARGING ME BY THE HOUR WITH AN ESTIMATED 2 HR. INSPECTION. IT'S ALL OVER THE INTERNET YET JEEP REFUSES TO ACKNOWLEDGE IT EXISTS. I LOVE MY JEEP, IT'S THE 3RD ONE I'VE OWNED, BUT I WILL NEVER BUY ANOTHER ONE. THE ONLY FIX SEEMS TO BE TO POUR MONEY IN MY VEHICLE UNTIL I GET THE RIGHT PART TAKEN CARE OF. I CAN'T EVEN TRADE IT IN WHILE IT'S DOING THIS. I'M STUCK AND I WANT SOME ACTION TAKEN BY JEEP! *TR
