Watch The Terrifying Jeep Death Wobble Up Close
Watch The Terrifying Jeep Death Wobble Up Close-November 2024

owners know and fear the mythic — a shaking, jittering sensation in the front wheels that’s plagued . Drivers fear it, engineers hate it, and Stellantis has based on the problem’s prevalence within the Jeep brand.
