Failure Date: 05/24/2012

Had some shaking but all of a sudden the truck was out of control, I could control the Jeep I was veering into other lanes, could not control the Jeep, holding on for life and praying not to die. I did not know what to do. I was crying and people were going around me and I just started to try to shut down on the highway then I got off the highway. I am afraid to drive at this point. I could have died!!!!!!!!!!!.

2 Suspension problem

Failure Date: 05/07/2012

I was driving at 50 mph and the vehicle started shaking violently and I had to slow down and pull over before the shaking would stop. Another time I was driving at 50 mph again and hit a small bump and the violent shaking again occurred. Again I had to slow down considerably before it stopped shaking. This is known as death wobble and Chrysler knows it. They need to be held accountable for using cheap parts on Jeeps.
