Electronic Stability Control problem #1

Driving at about 45 to 50 mph Jeep goes into a death wobble. . Vehicle shakes so violently it almost goes completely out of control.

Electronic Stability Control problem #2

At any speed or teraine, my vehicle will violently shake out of control!!!!!! it happens randomly, and for the past mont I have been checking on what is causing this as well as the best place to have the repairs done. I also have some other issues with this vehicle as well. The last "shaking" incindent happened while driving over an over pass about 45mph, started praying because I thought that I was about to die! so, wanting the repairs done properly I call a 1-800 Jeep Chrysler number to ask for a certified mechanic. While on the phone I had a feeling to ask about recalls. I was informed of only two (minor) issues. Called the dealership, set an appointment to have the recall repairs done and an estimate of the other issues. I did not end up with both recalls done (they did not feel the converter needed replaced)!!! I declined the price of thier estimate not the repairs! the estimate given roughly totals $3,929. 00! which after checking this website I find that a good part if not all of the repairs may fall under recall!!!! the mechanic I spoke with several times called this "shaking issue" , "the death shake" (and I quote the mechanic, matt) . Chrysler dealership in tahlequah, ok. Yates auto sales.

Electronic Stability Control problem #3

Jeep stalls without giving any warning sign such as check engine light. Changed so many different part to fix problem no one knows why. When it dies during the left turn many times I feel so danger. Please let Jeep know that so many people are in danger because of their faulty work.

Electronic Stability Control problem #4

The engine stalls randomly at various speeds. This has happened on busy and dangerous highways. I have replaced the ecm and gave it a complete tune-up and crank position sensor. The engine usually restarts after a few minutes of sitting. This problem is all over the internet. Nobody has figured it out. I hate to see anybody get hurt or killed by this unexplained problem.
