MY 2011 JEEP WRANGLER UNLIMITED IS A RIGHT HAND DRIVE THAT I USE FOR MAIL DELIVERY AND PERSONAL USE. THE ENGINE STALLS SPONTANEOUSLY WHILE I'M DRIVING AND/OR DELIVERING. WHEN THIS HAPPENS, STEERING IS PRECARIOUS. TWICE THIS INCIDENT HAS HAPPENED WHILE I WAS IN-TRANSIT THROUGH A CURVE AT 45 MPH. I WAS UNSUCCESSFUL AT WRESTLING WITH THE STEERING WHEEL TO DRIFT OFF THE ROAD SAFELY. TWO SUCCEEDING CARS, NOT ABLE TO SEE ME IN THE BLIND SPOT OF THE CURVE, SWERVED INTO THE OPPOSING LANE OF TRAFFIC TO AVOID ME. A FATAL ACCIDENT COULD HAVE HAPPENED. F ORNATELY AND THANKFULLY, THE ENGINE DID START UP AGAIN BUT NOT WITHOUT A CLOSE CALL. DOES SOMEONE HAVE TO GET SERIOUSLY INJURED OR DIE BEFORE A RECALL WILL BE CONSIDERED?? ALSO, RANDOMLY THE STARTER CRANKS BUT WON'T START OR IT WON'T CRANK AT ALL, RENDERING THE KEY FOB USELESS FOR LOCKING THE DOORS-EXCRUCIATINGLY FRUSTRATING & A SECURITY ISSUE WHEN THE VEHICLE IS FULL OF MAIL/PACKAGES. I HAVE BEEN TO 2 MECHANICS ON 3 SEPARATE OCCASIONS CONCERNING THESE ISSUES. ONE MECHANIC COULD NOT MAKE A DIAGNOSIS AND THE OTHER THOUGHT THE PROBLEM TO BE THE STARTER, WHICH WAS REPLACED. HOWEVER, THE PROBLEMS PERSIST. MY RESEARCH HAS LEAD ME TO BELIEVE THAT I MIGHT HAVE A FAULTY TIPM. I WILL HAVE A MECHANIC INVESTIGATE THIS POSSIBILITY FURTHER. SHOULD THE TIPM BE THE CULPRIT, A RECALL SHOULD BE OPENED FOR DESPERATE RECONSIDERATION AND FOR SAFETY'S SAKE!!!!!!

DEATH WOBBLE - I HAD HEARD OF OTHER JEEP WRANGLER DRIVERS TALKING ABOUT THIS PROBLEM FOR YEARS, BUT HAD NEVER EXPERIENCED IT UNTIL LAST WEEKEND. IT STARTED WITH A SLIGHT SHIMMY AT AROUND 35MPH AT THE BEGINNING OF A ROUGHLY 250 MI. ROAD TRIP. BEFORE HITTING THE END OF THE TRIP, THE SHIMMY HAD TRANSFORMED INTO AN INCREDIBLY VIOLENT JERKING MOTION OF THE STEERING BETWEEN 10:00 - 2:00 AND LOSS OF CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE. VERY NEARLY RESULTED IN A HEAD ON COLLISION. TO REMEDY THE PROBLEM, HAD TO REPLACE THE UPPER AND LOWER BALL JOINTS, WHEEL BEARINGS, TIE ROD ENDS, STEERING STABILIZER, TRACK BAR AND DRAG LINKS. THE TRACK BAR BOLTS IN THE END SLEEVES SEEMED FAR TOO SMALL IN DIAMETER AND ROUTED OUT THE BUSHINGS OVER TIME AND THIS LOOKED TO BE ONE OF THE MAJOR CULPRITS OF THE PROBLEM. INCREDIBLY DANGEROUS DRIVING CONDITION AND ALSO AN INCREDIBLY EXPENSIVE FIX AS ALL OF THESE PARTS ARE AFFECTED AND INTERCONNECTED. WHEN ONE STARTS TO GO IT HAS A DOMINO EFFECT ON THE OTHERS.

THIS CAUSES THE ABS LIGHT TO TURN ON AND ALL FOUR WHEELS GO THROUGH THE ANTI-LOCK STUTTER PATTERN AND CAN DRAMATICALLY AFFECT STEERING CONTROL WHEN IT IS UNEXPECTED, PULLING THE VEHICLE HARD IN EITHER DIRECTION. THIS HAPPENED TO ME 4 TIMES YESTERDAY WHILE MAKING A 250 MI ROAD TRIP ON THE WAY BACK HOME.

ON TWO OCCASIONS, WITHIN A TWO WEEK PERIOD, THE VEHICLE CONTINUED TO ACCELERATE AFTER THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL HAD BEEN RELEASED. THE MOST SEVERE OCCURRED WHILE PASSING AND OVERTAKING ANOTHER VEHICLE.
