Local news covered Death Wobble! ... kinda
this was on my local news: http://abclocal.go.com/kgo/story?sec...eam&id=8547340
I don't know if anyone caught this but I thought this would be great when I saw the preview and was promptly disappointed, they treat it like it is an absolute mystery when I found out more information on death wobble in an hour of searching than what a professional news organization could put together.
I am pretty sure they just googled it and clicked the first link "kevin's offroad" nothing against them its just the first result when you search and that is all they mention in the report. What do the rest of you think about this? and Enjoy.

Total junk journalism. I like how they act like this is a Jeep only problem. Never had dw issues with my Jeep, but have it with one of my Fords currently. You would think their "chief investigative reporter" Dan Noyes would have done some better investigating.
