“when i drive the vehicle, i goes into this shaky mode where i have to completely stop the car and restart it. this happens if i hit any kind of bump. I brake every bump that i see hoping it will stop but today is got so bad i could not move. Also the braking for driving down a curvy mountain. I almost got in multiple accidents this week”

“SUSPENSION FAILURE: I'VE HAD ISSUES WITH MY STEERING COLUMN SINCE HAVING BOUGHT THIS VEHICLE. ABOUT A WEEK AGO MY GEAR BOX FELL OUT OF THE VEHICLE CAUSING LOSS OF STEERING CONTROL. I HAVE BEEN HAVING ISSUES WITH THE STEERING COLUMN SHAKING VIOLENTLY SINCE HAVING IT REPAIRED. THIS SHAKING WAS ALSO A PROBLEM FOR ME ABOUT THREE MONTHS AGO.”
“MY JEEP IS EXPERIENCING THE "DEATH WOBBLE". IT ALMOST TURNED OVER ON I-85 OUTSIDE OF ATLANTA. MY DAUGHTER WAS DRIVING AT 55MPH AND THERE WAS A SMALL DIP IN THE ROAD. THE JEEP BEGAN TO SHAKE UNCONTROLLABLY. SHE COULD HARDLY CONTROL THE STEERING WHEEL OR THE JEEP. WE WERE FINALLY ABLE TO SLOW DOWN ENOUGH (ALMOST REAR ENDED TWICE) AND PULL OVER. THIS IS NOT ISOLATED. WE HAD THE JEEP IN FOR REPAIRS BEFORE AND EVERYTHING LISTED FOR REPAIR OF THE DEATH WOBBLE REPLACED. IT IS DOING IT AGAIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! YOU NEED TO RECALL THESE JEEPS AND MAKE CHRYSLER FIX THEM BEFORE SOMEONE LIKE MY 23 YEAR OLD DIES!!!!!!!!!!!!1”
