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 VEHICLE 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. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 JEEP WRANGLER. THE CONTACT WAS DRIVING 60 MPH WHEN A SQUEALING NOISE WAS HEARD FROM THE OIL PUMP ASSEMBLY NEAR THE CAM SHAFT. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE THE DEALER CONFIRMED THAT THE OIL FAILED TO PUMP THROUGH THE VEHICLE PROPERLY. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED AND THEY ADVISED THAT THE VIN DID NOT QUALIFY FOR REPAIRS UNDER NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER: 06V147000 (POWER TRAIN: CLUTCH ASSEMBLY). THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED, THE VIN WAS UNAVAILABLE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 35,500 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 37,000.

TRAC BAR HAD TO BE REPLACED AFTER 74K. ALONG WITH THE REPLACEMENT, STEERING STABILIZER AND ALIGNMENT WAS REQUIRED. THIS WAS A COSTLY REPAIR. NOW, 20K LATER, TRAC BAR IS AGAIN NEEDING TO BE REPLACED. AFTER MUCH RESEARCH, THIS ISSUE IS EXPERIENCED BY A HUGE AMOUNT OF WRANGLER OWNERS, BUT CHRYSLER HAS NEVER ADDRESSED THE ISSUE. I LOVE MY JEEP, BUT AM UNSURE IF I WOULD BUY ANOTHER. THIS FLAW CREATES A HUGE HAZARD. THE ENTIRE FRONT END SHAKES UNCONTROLLABLY AND ESSENTIALLY BECOMES VERY HARD TO CONTROL. *TR

OPDA(DISTRIBUTOR) APPEARS TO HAVE CREATED EXCESSIVE HEAT AT THE DRIVE GEAR FROM THE CAMSHAFT AND CAUSED A FAILURE OF A CAMSHAFT LIFTER OR FOLLOWER WHICH WORE DOWN THE CAMSHAFT AND RAN METAL SHAVINGS OR CHIPS THROUGHOUT THE ENGINE WITH THE OIL AND CAUSED ENGINE FAILURE. THE OIL LEVEL WAS FULL PRIOR TO DRAINING IT TO SEE HOW MUCH METAL IT CONTAINED. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 JEEP WRANGLER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHEN A ROAD BUMP WAS DRIVEN OVER OR WHEN THE BRAKE WAS DEPRESSED, THE VEHICLE WOULD WOBBLE ABNORMALLY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER SEVERAL TIMES FOR THE FAILURE. THE DEALER REPLACED THE FRONT END STABILIZER AND SHOCKS, BUT THE FAILURE WAS NOT CORRECTED. THE MANUFACTURER ADVISED THE CONTACT TO TAKE THE VEHICLE BACK TO THE DEALER, BUT THEY WOULD NOT ASSIST WITH THE DIAGNOSTIC TESTING COSTS. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 18,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 50,000.
