2006 Jeep Wrangler

I BOUGHT THE VEHICLE USED WITH 16,500 MILES ON IT. A WEEK AFTER I WAS ACCELERATING ON TO THE INTERSTATE WHEN I HIT APPROXIMATELY 50 MPH THE JEEP STARTED TO SHAKE VIOLENTLY. I HAD TO COME TO AN ALMOST COMPLETE STOP ON THE INTERSTATE TO GET IT TO STOP. I FIRST THOUGHT IT WAS THE TIRES BUT IT HAD A BRAND NEW SET ON IT. SO I HAD THEM MICRO BALANCED. IT DIDN'T DO AGAIN FOR ABOUT 2 WEEKS UNTIL I TRIED TO GET ON THE INTERSTATE AGAIN AT 50 MPH. I TOOK IT TO JEEP BECAUSE IT WAS STILL UNDER WARRANT AND WAS TOLD BECAUSE IT HAD ONE SIZE LARGER TIRES IT WAS NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY. AT 19500 MILES I REPLACED 4 BALL JOINTS, COMPLETE HEAVY DUTY DRAG LINK SYSTEM WITH NEW TIE ROD ENDS, NEW HD TRACK BAR, 4 NEW SHOCKS, NEW FRONT SPRINGS, HD STEERING DAMPER, TIRES MICRO BALANCED, WHEEL ALIGNMENT THAT LASTED ABOUT TWO MONTHS BEFORE IT DID IT AGAIN. I NOW HAVE 31,000 MILES ON IT AND STILL FIGHTING THE DEATH WOBBLE. I HAVE SPENT OVER A 1000 DOLLARS TO TRY AND FIX THIS. I BELIEVE THAT SHOULD BE LOOKED INTO BECAUSE SOMEONE WILL GET KILLED. I THINK IT'S ONLY A MATTER OF TIME. *TR

WHILE TRAVELING ACROSS A BRIDGE, AT APPROXIMATELY 45 MPH, AFTER HITTING A BUMP THE STEARING WHEEL STARTED TO WOBBLE GREATLY. HAD TO SLOW THE VEHICLE TO APPROX. 30 MPH TO GET IT TO STOP WOBBLING. WHEN I INCREASED SPEED THE SYMPTOM DID NOT HAPPEN AGAIN. I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO A TIRE SHOP HAD HAD THEM BALLANCE ALL WHEELS. WHEN I LEFT THE SHOP WHEN I REACHED 45 MPH 10 MINUTES LATER THE WOBBLE OCCURED AGAIN. *TR

MY JEEP GOES INTO A DEATH WOBBLE WHENEVER I HIT 50-55 MPH. THERE ARE TIME I HAVE TO GRIP THE STEERING WHEEL W/BOTH HANDS, WITH A DEATH GRIP FOR FEAR I WILL LOSE CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE AND WILL LEAVE MY LANE OR FLIP OVER. I HAVE DRIVEN SEVERAL JEEPS AND OTHER AUTOS AND HAVE NEVER EVER EVER BEEN SO FRIGHTENED OF CRASHING. THIS NEEDS TO BE RECALLED BY CHRYSLER TO FIGURE OUT THE PROBLEM. *TR

I BORROWED MY HUSBAND'S JEEP AND AS SOON AS I WENT ABOVE 50 THE WHOLE THING STARTED SHAKING REAL VIOLENTLY. I HAD A HARD TIME CONTROLLING IT. I PULLED OVER AND CALLED HIM. HE SAID IT'S BEEN HAPPENING FOR A FEW WEEKS AND ALWAYS TAKES BACK ROADS TO AVOID DRIVING FASTER. I HAD TO PUT ON THE HAZARD LIGHTS AND CRUISE TO THE NEAREST EXIT. THANK GOODNESS MY KIDS WEREN'T WITH ME BECAUSE I WASN'T STRONG ENOUGH TO CONTROL IT. IT SCARED THE DAYLIGHTS OUT OF ME. THEN I SAW ONLINE IT WAS A COMMON PROBLEM(WITH MODIFICATIONS-TOO BAD WE NEVER DID ANY) BUT NOT A BIG ENOUGH DEAL TO HAVE A RECALL. LET THEM DRIVE IT AND SEE HOW QUICK IT GETS DONE. DANGEROUS. THEY SAY IT'S AN EASY FIX AFTER YOU TRY HALF A DOZEN THINGS. GREAT! LET ME GET MY CHECKBOOK... *TR

OUR JEEP HAS HAD THE DEATH WOBBLE SINCE IT WAS BOUGHT BRAND NEW FROM THE DEALERSHIP. WHEN REACHING APPROXIMATELY 50MPH, THE VEHICLE BEGINS TO SHAKE/OSCILLATE UNCONTROLLABLY TO WHERE IT IS DIFFICULT TO KEEP THE VEHICLE IN ITS LANE. THE BRAKES HAVE TO BE PRESSED HEAVILY IN ORDER FOR IT TO STOP AND PRESENTS A CONCERN FOR REAR END COLLISION. TO PREVENT THE WOBBLE FROM HAPPENING, THE VEHICLE HAS TO BE DRIVEN 30MPH BELOW HIGHWAY SPEED LIMIT, CAUSING SAFETY CONCERNS. JUST EARLIER, THE DEATH WOBBLE HAPPENED AND WE VEERED INTO THE NEXT LANE AND ALMOST HIT A CAR. I ALSO SPRAINED MY ARM ONCE WHEN TRYING TO KEEP IN CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE WHEN THE DEATH WOBBLE HAPPENED GOING DOWN HILL. *TR

I HAVE AN 06 JEEP WRANGLER WITH THE DEATH WOBBLE. THIS IS AN ONGOING PROBLEM. I HAVE REPLACED MY TIRES THREE TIMES. I TOOK MY JEEP AND HAD THREE MECHANICS LOOK IT OVER TODAY, EACH WITH THE SAME RESPONSE, " I DON'T KNOW WHAT IT COULD BE." I'VE CALLED JEEP SEVERAL TIMES, I REPLACED THE STEERING DAMPER AS THEY RECOMMENDED. THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR YEARS AND I JUST DON'T KNOW WHAT ELSE TO DO. *TR

BETWEEN 45-55MPH MY FRONT WHEELS STARTS TO WOBBLE BACK AND FORTH VIOLENTLY CAUSING ME TO HAVE TO HIT THE BRAKES TO GET THE SHAKING TO STOP. THE STEERING WHEEL ALSO WOBBLES BACK AND FORTH MAKING IT HARD TO STEER. THIS IS A HAZARD AS IT HAPPENS IN TRAFFIC AND RANDOMLY ALTHOUGH MORE CONSISTENT. I HAVE HAD A STEERING CYLINDER REPLACED BUT IT HAS NOT FIXED THE PROBLEM. THE WOBBLING IS JUST GETTING WORSE. I DO NOT BELIEVE THIS VEHICLE HAS HAD ANY SUSPENSION MODIFICATIONS. IT IS A SERIOUS SITUATION THAT NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED BY CHRYSLER. *TR
