Reported on May 01, 2011
| 2007 WRANGLER SAHARA UNLIMITED EXPERIENCES VIOLENT SHAKING OF THE FRONT END AND TRANSMISSION GEAR SHIFTER WHEN TRAVELING BETWEEN 35 AND 50 MPH ON BAD ROADS, THIS TAKES PLACE WHEN ENCOUNTERING A BUMP OR POT HOLE. GARAGE SUGGESTED AND INSTALLED A HEAVY DUTY STEERING STABILIZER. DID NOT HELP. THEN THEY TOLD ME THE RIGHT FRONT BALL JOINT HAD SOME PLAY AND NEEDED REPLACEMENT. I AM CURRENTLY WAITING TO GET THIS DONE BUT UPON READING UP ON THIS DEATH WOBBLE I AM NOT CONVINCED IT WILL BE FIXED WITHOUT CONSIDERABLE EXPENSE ON MY PART. THIS SURELY IS A MFG DEFECT AND NEEDS TO BE RESOLVED. I HAVE 51,000 MILES ON THIS RATTLE TRAP. THE ONLY SOLUTION I HAVE AS OTHERS IS TO COME TO A COMPLETE STOP. THIS HAS NOT YET CAUSED AN ACCIDENT BUT IT IS ONLY A MATTER OF TIME. I EITHER DON'T DRIVE IT OR GET RID OF IT AND A PROBABLY LARGE LOSS OF VALUE TO ME. *TR | |
