When driving at 50 mph or above ( highway speeds) and hit a bump the whole vechile will shake so vioently that you think you are literally going to die. If you step on the brakes, it only gets worse. On the outside the tires wobble in out out, looking as though both axles just broke off. I have had mine in and out of the shop over 10 times and has been out of service for over 2 months. I wil get it back from the shop and within a week of having it back the death wobble ( shaking of vechile) is back and only gets worse. I have taken my Jeep to a different dealership then I bought it and they found that the liftkit that was already installed on my Jeep before I bought it brand new had missing parts and they used a lug nut for a nut on it. They don't know what is causing it. They are just throwing parts at it.
Jeep front end begins to voilently shaking causing loss of control when crossing highway seams, small bumps, etc especially when tires hit them one tire at a time. Jeep must be stopped to correct shaking. No modifications completely stock. Dealer claims everything is good with vehicle and in proper working order. Has happened multiple times over and over.
On the 6 speed manual transmission the 2009 Jeep Wrangler will violently slip out of 1st gear into neutral when accelerating from a stop. I have had this happen fairly frequently since I purchased the vehicle in 2009. When this does occur it is a very loud noise and the force of the shifter coming out of gear can injure a hand.
I have had this Jeep in to the dealer 5 times now for the same problem. It is only 2 and a half years old. The first time I brought it in was approx 4 months after I bought the truck brand new. They have yet to fix the problem. When you drive approx. 55 mph on a highway, and possibly hit a little bump, the car will shake uncontrolably. You cannot hit the break or it gets worse but sometimes your forced to because you will crash otherwise. The whole front end wobbles to a point where you loose all control of the vehicle. The dealship stated the first time after it happened that they fixed it. . . The other two times they said the same thing . The fourth time they decided to say it was my tires. ( I dont know why they all of a sudden changed the problem). Rotating the tires fixed the problem for about 6 months until I had to bring it in again and they now state they can't find anything wrong with it. But apparantly there is. Very fed up with the whole situation. And very nervous driving the truck.
