I HAVE BEEN EXPERIENCING THE "DEATH WOBBLE" THE FIRST TIME WHEN IT WAS ONLY A YEAR OLD WITH 10,000 MILES. IT WAS BRIEF AND I ATTRIBUTED THE ISSUE TO ROAD CONDITIONS. IT HAPPENED AGAIN AROUND 20,00 MILES. IT WAS BRIEF AND AGAIN ON THE SAME FREEWAY ATTRIBUTED TO ROAD CONDITIONS. I RECENTLY EXPERIENCED IT AGAIN AT 39,000 MILES - IT WAS SO SEVERE, AND VIOLENT, SHAKING THE ENTIRE VEHICLE- IT WAS EXTREMELY DIFFICULT TO CONTROL THE VEHICLE. I MADE AN APPOINTMENT AT THE DEALERSHIP. THE DIAGNOSIS WAS A CRACKED DRAG LINK ASSEMBLY, NEED FRONT STABILIZER SHOCKS, AND REAR SHOCKS. ON TOP OF THAT THEY SAID THERE IS A CRACK IN THE RADIATOR, BELIEVED TO BE FROM THE VIOLENT SHAKING. IT'S NO LONGER UNDER WARRANTY, WITH ONLY 39,000 MILES - 3,000 MILES OVER AND THEY WON'T DO ANYTHING. I HAVE BEEN A LONG TIME CUSTOMER AT PLANET JEEP IN FLAGSTAFF, AZ. THIS HAS BEEN A HORRIBLE EXPERIENCE. I WILL NEVER GO BACK THERE AND WON'T RECOMMEND.
