PURCHASED 2005 JEEP WRANGLER X FROM INDIVIDUAL NOVEMBER 2010. VEHICLE HAD 21K MILES. DEATH WOBBLE OCCURS EVERYTIME VEHICLE REACHES SPEEDS ABOVE 45 MPH. JEEP IS OUT OF CONTROL AND YOU MUST COME TO A SWIFT, BUT COMPLETE STOP TO KEEP FROM LOSING CONTROL. DRIVER OF VEHICLE AND OTHER VEHICLES LESS THAN 10 FEET AWAY ARE IN DANGER WHEN THIS OCCURS. DISCOVERED THAT THIS PROBLEM IS COMMON TODAY AND I HOPE THAT JEEP COMES UP WITH A SOLUTION TO THIS ISSUE. *KB
