Three problems related to suspension have been reported for the 2003 Jeep Laredo. The most recently reported issues are listed below.

1 Suspension problem

Failure Date: 05/29/2017

"death wobble"Jeep begins to shake when you hit a bump or at about 40 mph, does not go away until you slow down to about 20 mph or sometimes swerving will help it stop. We have replaced front tires, balanced them. Had an alignment, replaced tie rod and steering arm and also track bar and the "death wobble" is still there. Search all over the internet and seems to be a very common problem with this year, make a model but no one can really narrow it down to one issue. This seems to be a very dangerous issue that could cause harm to the driver/passengers or to others in cars around the Jeep when the "death wobble" appears since the driver needs to slow down or swerve to make it stop.

2 Suspension problem

Failure Date: 02/03/2014

I was going approx. 40 mph when I ran over a small bump in the road and the entire truck began to shake uncontrollably and I almost lost control. I applied the brakes and only when I slowed to approx. 10 mph it ceased. I have had it in the garage since Feb. 3, 2014 and have spent well over $3000 and it still isn't fixed. I have had the entire front end rebuilt and have replaced all the bushings in the rear end. I will never ever buy a Jeep again. I think it would be nice of them to reimburse some of the money I have spent over the last 3+ months. If I had to get a rental car, I would be in the poor house. I don't know what else to replace.
