2006 Jeep Wrangler

THE DW'S, A DEFECT JEEP REFUSES TO ADDRESS. TELL ME WHERE JEEP HAS PUBLICLY ADDRESSED THIS WIDE AND WELL KNOWN PROBLEM FOR THEIR CONSUMERS. ENOUGH WITH THE BAND-AIDS!! BECAUSE I DID NOT BRING MY JEEP IN FOR A 30,000 ML CHECK UP (EVENTHOUGH I WAS ONLY AT 28,000) MY DEALER TOLD ME MY WARRANTY WOULD BE NULL AND VOID. ALTHOUGH, I HAD NO IDEA WHAT THE ENGINE HAD TO DO WITH THE STEERING, I WAS UNABLE TO GET HIM TO DISCUSS THE PROBLEM ANY FURTHER. "ROTATE YOUR TIRES FOR YOU, THAT'S ALL I CAN DO" WAS WHAT I WAS TOLD. SO, AFTER THROWING MONEY AT MY JEEP TO TRY AND FIX IT THIS WAY OR THAT WAY (BTW MY JEEP IS ENTIRELY STOCK) THE ONLY THING I'VE FOUND TO RID THE PROBLEM IS TO REPLACE MY TIRES EVERY 25,000 ML OR SO AND ROTATE EVERY 5,000 ML. SO, IF YOU DON'T MIND BUYING NEW TIRES EVERY TWO YEARS OR SO, PROBLEM SOLVED. IF THIS A PROBLEM JEEP IS TELLING YOU THAT YOU CAN PRETTY MUCH SUCK IT!

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 JEEP WRANGLER UNLIMITED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 40 TO 50 MPH HE NOTICED THAT THERE WAS A VIOLENT SHAKE IN THE FRONT END OF THE VEHICLE. THE SHAKING BECAME SO EXCESSIVE THAT IT CAUSED THE VEHICLE TO MOVE INTO THE NEXT LANE DUE TO THE DRIVER NOT BEING ABLE TO CONTROL IT. THE VEHICLE WAS INSPECTED BY A DEALER WHO ADVISED HIM THAT THE SHAKING MAY HAVE BEEN CAUSED BY THE TIRES. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A TIRE DEALER WHO REPLACED THE TIRES AND PERFORMED AN ALIGNMENT. WITHIN 10,000 MILES OF HAVING THE ALIGNMENT DONE AND THE TIRES CHANGED THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO SHAKE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 15,000. THE VIN WAS UNAVAILABLE.

2006 JEEP WRANGLER AND THE DEATH WOBBLE. JEEP HAS KNOW ABOUT THIS CONDITION FOR SOME TIME NOW AND SINCE MY WARRANTY IS UP AND THEY COULD NOT FIND THE PROBLEM BEFORE IT WAS UP, I AM NOW STUCK WITH IT OR PAY ALOT OF MONEY FOR A ISSUE THAT SHOULD HAVE BEEN ADDRESSED YEARS AGO BY JEEP. EVERY TIME I HIT A SMALL BUMP IN THE ROAD AT 60MPH THE JEEP GOES OUT OF CONTROL AND SHAKES THE VEHICLE UNTIL YOU CAN COME TO A COMPLETE STOP IN THE ROAD AND THEN ITS FINE. ALL YOU HAVE TO DO IS GOOGLE JEEP AND DEATH WOBBLE AND YOU WILL SEE HOW MANY COMPLAINTS ARE OUT THERE. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 JEEP WRANGLER. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 45 MPH OVER A BUMP IN THE ROAD HE FELT VIBRATIONS IN THE STEERING WHEEL AND THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO SHAKE UNCONTROLLABLY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT REPAIR SHOP WHERE THE TIRES WERE BALANCED AND ROTATED. THE FAILURE CONTINUED TO OCCUR WHENEVER HE DROVE APPROXIMATELY 45 MPH OVER A BUMP. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGES WERE 20,000.

2006 JEEP WRANGLER SHIMMING .. JEEP ADVISED ME A YEAR AGO AFTER REPLACING IT THE FACTORY WAS CRAPPY(RIGHT OUT OF SERVICE MANAGERS MOUTH) SO THEY REPLACED WITH RANCHO ... NUT IT IS DOING IT 4 MONTHS LATER ... AFTER ALL THIS AND COMING TOO HALT ON INTERSTATE 4 TIMES AND PULLING TOO SIDE OF ROAD .. THIS IS GETTING TOO THE POINT SOMEONE IS GOING TO GET KILLED ... IT SERIOUS AND IF IT TAKES THAT SOMEONE TO GET KILLED BEFORE SOMETHING IS DONE (THAT WILL BE A LIFE LOST BECAUSE NO ACTION TAKEN ON THIS MATTER ... *TR

FRONT END SHAKES AND SHIMMIES SINCE I GOT IT IN SEPT 06, TAKEN TO SEE WHY, AND OF COURSE I BEEN TOLD IT IS THIS THAT OR THE OTHER, AND THE PROBLEM HAS NOT BEEN RESOLVED, I HAVE REPLACED TIRES, BRAKE AND CALIPERS, SHOCKS, STABILIZER SHOCKS, HAVE HAD THE FRONT END LINED DUE TO THE SHAKING AND SHIMMY, IF THERE WAS A RECALL ON THIS VEHICLE I WAS NEVER NOTIFIED ON THIS MATTER . THE VEHICLE IN QUESTION 2006 JEEP WRANGLER . *TR

FOR ME, THIS PROBLEM HAS NOT RESULTED IN A CRASH OR INJURY. HOWEVER IT COULD LEAD TO THE ABOVE IF NOT RESOLVED BY THE MANUFACTURE. PROBLEM IS, WHEN DRIVING MY 2006 JEEP WRANGLER AND A BUMP IS ENCOUNTERED, SUCH AS A POT HOLE, A MAN HOLE COVER, EXPANSION JOINTS ETC. THE FRONT WHEELS GO IN TO A VERY SEVERE LEFT TO RIGHT OSCILLATION. TO RECOVER FROM THIS ONE MUST COME TO ALMOST A COMPLETE STOP. A LITTLE HARD TO DO AT 60MPH IN THE MIDDLE OF THE FREEWAY. CHRYSLER SAYS THAT THE FIX IS A NEW STEERING DAMPER, AT THE OWNER'S EXPENSE. THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE AMONG THE JEEP COMMUNITY, CALLED "THE DEATH WOBBLE".I BELIEVE THIS IS TOO MUCH OF A SAFETY ISSUE FOR THE MANUFACTURE TO RESOLVE AT THEIR EXPENSE VIA A RECALL. SOMEONE IS GOING TO GET KILLED. *TR

CAR HAS A BAD CLUNKING NOISE IN THE STEERING BOX. ONLY HAS 15000 ON THE VEHICLE, MANY OTHER PEOPLE I HAVE TALKED TO ON JEEPFORUM.COM HAVE THE SAME ISSUE. WHEN TURNING THE WHEEL FROM SIDE TO SIDE YOU HEAR A CONSTANT CLUNKING NOISE FROM THE FRONT END, ALWAYS BEING TRACED BACK TO THE STEERING BOX. ALL FRONT END COMPONENTS ARE IN PERFECT SHAPE, AS TOLD BY A MECHANIC. *TR
