Steering Tie Rod Assembly problems of the 2006 Jeep Wrangler

I want to report an issue with my Jeep Wrangler 2006. I bought this car from Jeep in annapolis maryland Jeep 2006 with 9,343 miles on it. Two months later it began shaking uncontrollably at 50-55 mph. Only at this speed. This is very scary when it happens and have almost gone off the road. The only way to stop it is to accelerate to higher speed or to slow down. I took it back to the dealer where I purchased the vehichle and they did a an alignment. The shaking stopped and 1 month later it started again. A year later, of just putting up with this I bring the Jeep back to the dealer. They tell me that the cause is from worn tie rods and steering damper worn. If this is the cause of the shake then they should have told me this a year ago. I think the worn parts are a result from the shake. Not the cause. Either way , the Jeep now has 26,000 miles and I'm already being told to put 2000 dollars into it for worn parts. These parts are wearing prematurely because of the shake but no one can determine the cause. If I had bought the car new , I could have used the lemon law but unfortunately, I bought it with low mileage used. This is a very dangerous situation and wondering if it will take a death for someone to recall these like the problem with Toyota accelerator. Its very frustration, and the average person does not have the time or money to fight something like this. I have seen so many people with the same complaints on the internet. Something should be done.

I'm 2nd owner of an '06 Jeep Wrangler. Miles at purchase: 26521. Still under warranty. At 27,000 I experienced "death wobble" at 55mph. Took it in to ferman of plant city dealership and they replaced the damper. Within less then 1000 miles it happened again. Took it to xtreme Jeeps and they could not figure out what was causing it. I then took it back to local dealership, citrus Chrysler of dade city, FL at about 28,000 miles. They have had it since 12/08/08. They say the tie rods and tracbar need replacement but they can't get the parts until after 12/24/08. I research this death wobble and found out that it happens to many, many other Jeep owners. You just need to do a google search to see how often it happens. Chrysler do not own up to the fact that this unsafe problem exists. There is no reports of this when I paid for a carfax report. This is a very, very unsafe problem that needs to be looked in to. I am expected to bail these guys out with my hard earned tax money while they hide the fact that they're producing these unsafe vehicles. I am now paying for a vehicle I can not drive. The dealership has it in their lot waiting for parts. This is very upsetting and you need to look in to this matter. How dare them not recall these vehicles and redesign steering to make them safe. I will never buy another american made vehicle again. Corp greed with unsafe products is so un-american!!!!.

I bought the vehicle used with 16,500 miles on it. A week after I was accelerating on to the interstate when I hit approximately 50 mph the Jeep started to shake violently. I had to come to an almost complete stop on the interstate to get it to stop. I first thought it was the tires but it had a brand new set on it. So I had them micro balanced. It didn't do again for about 2 weeks until I tried to get on the interstate again at 50 mph. I took it to Jeep because it was still under warrant and was told because it had one size larger tires it was not covered under warranty. At 19500 miles I replaced 4 ball joints, complete heavy duty drag link system with new tie rod ends, new hd track bar, 4 new shocks, new front springs, hd steering damper, tires micro balanced, wheel alignment that lasted about two months before it did it again. I now have 31,000 miles on it and still fighting the death wobble. I have spent over a 1000 dollars to try and fix this. I believe that should be looked into because someone will get killed. I think it's only a matter of time.
