DEATH WOBBLE OCCURS RANDOMLY WITHOUT WARNING IN OUR 2008 JEEP WRANGLER UNLIMITED X, CAUSING US TO LOSE CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE. TO TRY TO CORRECT THE ISSUE, WE REPLACED THE STEERING STABILIZER AND HAD THE TIRES ROTATED AND BALANCED (WHICH WAS UNNEEDED). THIS DID NOT CORRECT THE PROBLEM. WE'VE TAKEN IT TO A FRONT-END SPECIALIST AND FOUND NO ABNORMAL WEAR. JEEP DEALERSHIP PROVIDED NO HELP OR ENCOURAGEMENT. *TR

SERVICE BRAKES
SINCE THE DAY I BOUGHT THE VEHICLE NEW WHILE APPLYING THE PARKING BRAKE IT SEEMS AS THOUGH YOU HIT A VOID OR THAT IT SLIPS OVER LIKE THERE IS A STRIPPED GEAR. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR SERVICE AND WAS TOLD "THEY ALL DO THAT, ITS NOT UNCOMMON AND NOTHING TO WORRY ABOUT" BUT I HAVE RECENTLY NOTICED THAT IF IT STOPS ON THE VOID THE PARKING BRAKE DOES NOT HOLD THE VEHICLE IN PLACE AND IT ROLLS. I AM WANTING TO TAKE IT IN FOR SERVICE BUT NOT SURE IF THIS IS A GOOD IDEA RIGHT NOW UNTIL I HAVE A COMPLAINT FILED AND HAVE IT CHECK OUT BY ANOTHER SOURCE AS I AM WORRIED THAT I WILL GET THE SAME ANSWER. I KNOW CHRYSLER ISSUED RECALL FOR A SIMILAR PROBLEM BUT THIS VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THAT RECALL. I WANT EVERYONE THAT HAS THIS TYPE OF VEHICLE TO BE AWARE OF THIS PROBLEM SINCE "ITS COMMON AND THEY ALL DO IT". *TR
