I BOUGHT A NEW 2007 JEEP WRANGLER DEATH WOBBLE STARTED AT 70,000 MILES MARK MITSUBISHI IN PHOENIX AZ HAS NOT HELPED ME OUT AT ALL IT GOES EVERY 10,000 MILES ON ME AND THEY JUST REPLACED MY TIRES. DEATH WOBBLE OCCURRED THE DAY AFTER AND BEFORE. HOW DO WE ALL GET TOGETHER WHO HAVE THIS PROBLEM AND GET JEEP TO BE RESPONSIBLE FOR A DEFECTIVE FRONT END. DEATH WOBBLE IS NOT ONLY SCARY IT IS DANGEROUS AND I HOPE THAT IT DOESN'T TAKE SOMEONE GETTING KILLED FOR THEM TO FINALLY REPLACE IT.
