"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.

DIVER'S SEAT STARTED BREAKING, A LITTLE AT A TIME. THE METAL BRACKETS ARE STILL GOOD AND IN PLACE, IT IS THE FRAME OF THE SEAT. IT LEANS BACK AND TO THE LEFT. IT BREAKS MORE AND MORE EVERY TIME YOU SIT IN THE SEAT, CREAKING WHEN SOMEONE SITS DOWN IN THE SEAT. IF THE CONTROLS ARE SET TO HAVE THE SEAT PUSHED BACK FOR SOMEONE WITH LONG LEGS, THE SEAT LEANS ALL THE WAY BACK AND DOWN AS IF YOU PURPOSELY ARE TRYING TO LAY DOWN. THERE WAS AN INITIAL LOUD POP WHEN GETTING OUT IN JUNE AS IF SOMETHING BROKE, BUT IT DIDN'T SEEM LIKE ANYTHING FEEL OFF. THE SEAT NOW HAS BEEN GETTING WORSE. *TR
