Description of the problem | Per tsb 08-029-16 flat towing this vehicle jeep installed a wiring kit to stop a severe wobble while towing. Kit was installed july 25 2016. While towing the jeep during a trip on april 28, 2018 on i255 e bypass around saint louis at approx. 4:40 pm at approx. 60 mph i had the severe death wobble occur. Heavy traffic and while decelerating and trying to stop (which is the only way to stop the wobble) i was nearly rear ended by a semi truck. On april 29, 2018 at approximately 2:30 pm while exiting i39 onto i39/90 in wisconsin the wobble occurred again at approx. 50 mph. Again, the wiring fix was installed and i had it correctly turned on. This a dangerous vehicle and i refuse to tow it 1 foot until jeep steps up to the place and does the right thing.
