DEATH WOBBLE- BRAKING AT 55MPH, HITTING BUMP AT 55 + MPH. ON GOING. DANGEROUS SITUATION. THIS WAS ADDRESSED FOR 2015-2016 BUT THE COMPONENTS IN MY JEEP ARE THE SAME AS NEWER JEEPS AND IS A DANGER FOR OLDER JEEPS.

I JUST PURCHASE A THIS VEHICLE AND I NOTICES THAT FRONT SUSPENSION STARTS SHAKING AFTER HITTING A BUMP ON THE ROAD, IT IS VERY SCARY AND IT FEELS LIKE YOU ARE GOING TO LOOSE CONTROL. I HAVE DRIVEN THIS CAR ON THE FREEWAY TWO TIMES AND IT ALREADY HAPPENED LIKE 6 TIMES. I'M VERY DISAPPOINTED AND I HOPE THIS IS AN EASY FIX, I BOUGHT THIS CAR FOR MY DAUGHTER BUT I DON'T THINK I CAN RUN THE RISK OF GIVING IT TO HER IT WOULD BE VERY IRRESPONSIBLE OF MY PART TO GIVE MY DAUGHTER SOMETHING UNSAFE.

THE JEEP HAS WHAT HAS BEEN TERMED THE JEEP DEATH WOBBLE. THE JEEP IS ALL STOCK, NOT LIFTED AT ALL. I HAVE FIRED THE PARTS CANNON AT THE JEEP...ALL THE WORK HAS BEEN PERFORMED BY FACTORY TRAINED TECHNICIANS USING OE PARTS. I HAVE CHANGED THE TIRES TWICE IN 20,000 MILES. THE JEEP GETS A TERRIBLE WOBBLE ON THE HIGHWAY AT 55MPH (SPEED LIMIT ON 465 IN INDIANAPOLIS) AND CAN ONLY BE BROUGHT UNDER CONTROL BY STOPPING THE VEHICLE. EVEN THOUGH I HAVE NEVER BEEN IN AN ACCIDENT CAUSED BY THE EXCESSIVE WOBBLE, IT IS DEFINITELY NOT SAFE TO COME TO A COMPLETE STOP ON THE HIGHWAY. IT'S NOT ALWAYS EASY TO PULL OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD ON A BUSY INTERSTATE HIGHWAY. THE FUEL FILLER NECK OFTEN OVERFLOWS WHEN FILLING THE FUEL TANK ALSO. THERE WAS A RECALL ON SOME JEEPS FOR THIS SAME PROBLEM. HOWEVER, THE JEEP DEALERSHIP SAID MY SPECIFIC JEEP DOESN'T QUALIFY FOR THE FIXING OF THE ISSUE. IT IS DEFINITELY NOT SAFE TO HAVE A FUEL FILLER NECK THAT DOESN'T STOP THE FUEL NOZZLE FROM FLOWING.

WHEN I FIRST BOUGHT THE 2006 JEEP WRANGLER, AND DROVE IT HOME, WHEN I GOT UP TO BETWEEN 50-55 MPH, THE WHOLE FRONT END OF THE JEEP SHIMMIED OR WOBBLED VIOLENTLY. I LOOKED UP THE PROBLEM ONLINE TO FIND OUT IF THIS WAS A COMMON COMPLAINT, AND EXACTLY WHAT THE CALL WHAT MY JEEP WAS DOING. THIS IS WHEN I FOUND OUT WHAT IT WAS DOING WAS CALLED, "THE DEATH WOBBLE". I THEN TOOK THE JEEP BACK TO CARMAX WHERE I BOUGHT IT USED, AND SHOWED THE CARMAX MECHANICS WHAT I HAD PRINTED OUT FROM ON LINE. THEY THEN, AND I QUOTE, FIXED THE PROBLEM. WELL THIS FIX ONLY LASTED ABOUT A 2 YEARS AND IT IS NOW BACK TO DOING THIS DEATH WOBBLE AGAIN. APPARENTLY THE "FIX" WAS NOT A PERMANENT ONE, AND OF COURSE MY 2006 JEEP IS NO LONGER UNDER THE 12 MONTH LIMITED WARRANTY ANY LONGER. I NEED TO KNOW IF THERE WAS EVER A SAFETY RECALL ON THIS PROBLEM AT THE MANUFACTURER'S EXPENSE, OBVIOUSLY THIS IS A DESIGN FLAW, WHICH I HAVE FOUND OUT THAT SUPPOSEDLY CAN BE PERMANENTLY FIXED. THE PROBLEM FOR ME IS, I CAN'T AFFORD THE COST TO DO THE FIX. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME. *TR

I WAS TRAVELING AT ABOUT 45 MPH ON OPEN ROAD WHEN THE VEHICLE SHOOK SO BAD I PULLED OFF THE ROAD, BECAUSE I HAD TROUBLE HANGING ON TO THE WHEEL. I LOOKED THIS UP AND IT WAS CALLED A DEATH WOBBLE. I BOUGHT THE VEHICLE USED IN 2013 AFTER TRADING IN A 1999 WRANGLER THAT I NEVER HAD SUCH A PROBLEM WITH. I HAVE REPLACED THE STABILIZER BAR AND STABILIZER LINK BUSHINGS, TRACK BAR AND BUSHINGS AND STILL GET A WOBBLE BUT NOT AS BAD. THERE IS CERTAINLY SOMETHING WRONG BUT NO ONE IS ADMITTING IT. WHY DOES IT TAKE SOMEONE GETTING SERIOUSLY INJURED OR KILLED TO GET THE PROBLEM RECOGNIZED AND FIXED.

I WAS DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE AT A SPEED OF ABOUT 55-60 MILES PER HOUR. I DROVE INTO A CURVED PART OF THE INTERSTATE THAT VEERED TO THE LEFT AND WHEN I TRAVELED THROUGH IT, THE WHOLE JEEP BEGAN TO SHAKE VIOLENTLY. I SLOWED DOWN TO PULL OVER AND WHEN I REACHED ABOUT 40 MILES PER HOUR, THE SHAKING STOPPED. I ASKED A MECHANIC ABOUT IT AND HE SAID THAT THIS "DEATH RATTLE" IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH JEEPS. WE CHANGED THE TIRES AND THE STEERING DAMPER. THIS SEEMED TO FIX THE PROBLEM FOR A WHILE BUT A YEAR LATER THE SHAKING CAME BACK. I DID SOME INVESTIGATING ON THE INTERNET ABOUT THE DEATH WOBBLE AND FOUND OUT THAT THE CAUSE CAN BE ONE OR MORE OF A NUMBER OF THINGS ON THE FRONT END. I HAD THE TRACK BAR CHANGED AND THAT HELPED ABOUT 80%. NOW, 8 MONTHS LATER THE SHAKING IS BACK. I UNDERSTAND FROM THE INTERNET THAT THIS DEATH WOBBLE PROBLEM IS RAMPANT ACROSS THE COUNTRY WITH DIFFERENT JEEP OWNERS. YET CHRYSLER WILL NOT ADMIT THAT THERE IS A PROBLEM. IS THERE ANY RECOURSE OTHER THAN ME SPENDING HUNDREDS TO THOUSANDS OF MY DOLLARS TO FIX A PROBLEM THAT IS OBVIOUSLY THE FAULT OF CHRYSLER?

I PURCHASED THE WRANGLER IN ABOUT OCTOBER OF 2009. SINCE THEN, THE FUEL TANK OVER-SPILLS WHEN IT IS FILLED AT THE GAS PUMPS. IT CAUSED DAMAGE TO THE PAINT AND TO THE PLASTIC WHEEL GUARD. OF GREATER CONCERN IS DEATH WOBBLE. THE FRONT END VIOLENTLY SHAKES AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS FROM TIME TO TIME. THE VEHICLE IS HARD TO CONTROL. I MADE ATTEMPTS IN 2013 AND 2014 TO FIX IT, ONLY TO HAVE THE PROBLEM RETURN. IN 2013 THE STEERING DAMPER AND STEERING STABILIZER BAR WAS REPLACED. IN 2014, THE TIRES WERE REPLACED AND ALIGNED. THE PROBLEM RETURNED THIS YEAR, AND IS AT ITS WORST. *TR

DRIVING DOWN A CITY ROAD AND 45-50 MILES THE JEEP SHOOK SO HARD HAD TO PULL OVER. WE TOWED IT TO BROOKINGS OR AND HAD THE FRONT END ALIGNED 00 . IN THE FALL WE TRAVELED TO OKLAHOMA AND WE WERE DRIVING JEEP ON A FREEWAY AND @ ABOUT 55 IT STARTED THAT SHIMMY AGAIN, SO WE BROUGHT NEW TIRES FOR IT. WE JUST TOOK IT BACK TO TIRE SHOP 2 WEEKS AGO FOR ANOTHER ALIGNMENT 00, SERVICE GUY TOLD US WE SHOULD CHECK WITH ANY RECALLS ON OUR JEEP. NEVER COULD GET RID OF THE SHIMMY! WOULD BE HAPPY FOR A FIX. *TR

THIS VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED ON 31 DECEMBER 2011. THE FOLLOWING MONTH I EXPERIENCED A SEVERE STEERING SHIMMY TRAVELING BETWEEN 55 AND 60 MPH. EITHER INCREASING OR DECREASING SPEED ENDS THE SEVERE WOBBLE OF THE FRONT WHEELS AND STEERING WHEEL. IF I AM NOT ABLE TO INCREASE OR DECREASE SPEED THE WOBBLE WOULD CONTINUE. DURING THE WOBBLE THE VEHICLE DOES NOT RESPOND TO STEERING COMMANDS AND IS THEREFORE VERY DANGEROUS. THIS PROBLEM HAS CONTINUED TO OCCUR MANY TIMES AT THE ABOVE SPEED AND CAN BE RECREATED ON A REGULAR BASIS. I HAVE ACQUIRED THE JEEP TSB, BUT IT DOES NOT PROVIDE THE REPAIR PROCESS INFORMATION. IN SPEAKING WITH OTHER OWNERS THE "SO CALLED" FIX IS TO REPLACE THE STEERING DAMPENER. NO OWNER, ONLINE OR IN PERSON, HAS REPORTED THIS TO STOP THE PROBLEM FROM OCCURRING. PLEASE ACKNOWLEDGE AND REPORT WHAT CAN BE DONE TO ELIMINATE THIS PROBLEM. I LIKE THIS VEHICLE AND WOULD LIKE TO KEEP IT BUT, IN THIS CONDITION I AM HESITANT TO HAVE OTHER FAMILY MEMBERS OPERATE THE VEHICLE. I ALSO DO NOT WISH TO PASS THE PROBLEM TO THE NEXT OWNER. *TR

CAR BEGAN TO VIOLENTLY SHAKE WHEN I HIT A POTHOLE ON THE FREEWAY GOING 65MPH. SEAT BELT PINNED ME TO SEAT SO I COULDN'T SAFELY TURN AROUND TO CHANGE LANES TO GET OFF FREEWAY. IT WAS DARK OUTSIDE AND VERY DANGEROUS. THIS PROBLEM IS ALL OVER THE INTERNET AND KNOWN AS THE DEATH WOBBLE. IT WAS TAKEN THE DEALER TO BE REPAIRED RIGHT AFTER IT HAPPENED. THEY REPLACED THE STEERING STABILIZER, BUT 5 WEEKS LATER IT HAPPENED AGAIN. DO NOT FEEL SAFE DRIVING THIS CAR I HAVE ONLY OWNED FOR 7 MONTHS. *TR

SINCE MY PURCHASE OF MY 2006 JEEP WRANGLER, AT THE SPEED BETWEEN 50 TO 60 MPH, THE FRONT BEGINS TO SHAKE UNCONTROLLABLY. I CANNOT CONTROL THE AUTO - I CANNOT STEAR IT, I CANNOT STOP THE SHAKING. IT IS INCREDIBLY DANGEROUS. WHY ARE YOU FOLKS ALLOWED TO SELL THIS PRODUCT TO THE PUBLIC? THIS NEEDS TO BE RECOGNISED BY THE MANUFACTURING / DESIGNERING CONCERNS AT JEEP. GENTLEMEN... PLEASE BE MEN AND TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR THIS FAULTY PRODUCT. YOU ARE PUTTING THE CONSUMER AND OTHERS TRAVELING ON THE ROADWAYS IN LIFE AND DEATH DANGER. THIS IS AMERICA!!!! NOTHING MORE NEEDS TO BE SAID. YOU ARE AWARE OF THE PROBLEM, NOW... TAKE CARE OF IT. *TR

MY JEEP EXPERIENCES WHAT'S KNOWN AS THE "DEATH WOBBLE." IT HAS HAPPENED FOR YEARS, BUT I HAD ALWAYS BEEN TOLD THAT MY TIRES WERE OUT OF BALANCE, OR THAT I NEEDED A FRONT WHEEL ALIGNMENT. THOSE FIXES WOULD HELP FOR A COUPLE OF MONTHS, AND THEN THE SHAKE WOULD RETURN. JUST IN THE LAST 6-8 MONTHS DID A MECHANIC ACTUALLY TELL ME ABOUT THE WOBBLE, WHAT REALLY SEEMS TO CAUSE IT, AND THAT IT'S A KNOWN ISSUE WITH JEEPS. MY JEEP IS STOCK, WITH NO MODIFICATIONS, BUT I STILL GET THE WOBBLE. IT OCCURRED 3 TIMES THIS MORNING ON THE 5 FREEWAY IN SAN DIEGO COUNTY, EACH TIME AT SPEEDS BETWEEN 55-68 MILES PER HOUR. THE FRONT END OF THE JEEP SHAKES VIOLENTLY, AND THE ONLY WAY TO STOP THE SHAKING IS TO COME TO A COMPLETE STOP. LUCKILY, I'VE ALWAYS BEEN ABLE TO PULL OVER SAFELY TO THE SHOULDER OF THE FREEWAY. A FEW MONTHS AGO IT HAPPENED, AND A CO-WORKER WAS FOLLOWING ME IN A DIFFERENT VEHICLE. HE SAID MY FRONT TIRES WERE ACTUALLY SMOKING BECAUSE OF THE WAY THE TIRES MOVED ON THE FREEWAY. *TR

SINCE PURCHASING MY 2006 JEEP WRANGLER UNLIMITED, I HAVE HAD MULTIPLE ISSUES WITH SEVERE FRONT-END INSTABILITY (SHIMMY AND SHAKING) WHEN THE VEHICLE TRAVELS APPROXIMATELY 50 MILES PER HOUR. IMMEDIATELY AFTER PURCHASE, I SPENT HUNDREDS OF DOLLARS ON FRONT-END WORK, TIRE BALANCE, AND TIRE ROTATION WORK, IN AN ATTEMPT TO RESOLVE THE ISSUE. HOWEVER, DESPITE A SLIGHT INITIAL REDUCTION IN THE PROBLEM, THE SHIMMY AND SHAKING RETURNED SOON AFTER THE WORK I HAD DONE, AND HAS BECOME PROGRESSIVELY WORSE. THIS ISSUE IS SO COMMON THAT THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE IN ONLINE JEEP COMMUNITIES HAVE NAMED THE CONDITION, "DEATH WOBBLE.," SINCE THE ISSUE CAN RENDER A VEHICLE VIRTUALLY UNDRIVABLE. I FEAR FOR MY PERSONAL SAFETY, AND FOR THAT OF MY WIFE AND YOUNG CHILDREN WHEN WE TRAVEL IN THIS VEHICLE. MY REQUEST IS THAT CHRYSLER STOP DENYING THAT THERE IS A DANGEROUS, POTENTIALLY LIFE THREATENING CONDITION INVOLVING MULTIPLE JEEP PRODUCTION YEAR MODELS. I REQUEST THAT A SOLUTION BE ENGINEERED AS QUICKLY AS POSSIBLE IN THE INTEREST OF MY FAMILY' SAFETY, AND THE SAFETY OF THE GENERAL PUBLIC. *TR

I BOUGHT THE VEHICLE USED WITH 16,500 MILES ON IT. A WEEK AFTER I WAS ACCELERATING ON TO THE INTERSTATE WHEN I HIT APPROXIMATELY 50 MPH THE JEEP STARTED TO SHAKE VIOLENTLY. I HAD TO COME TO AN ALMOST COMPLETE STOP ON THE INTERSTATE TO GET IT TO STOP. I FIRST THOUGHT IT WAS THE TIRES BUT IT HAD A BRAND NEW SET ON IT. SO I HAD THEM MICRO BALANCED. IT DIDN'T DO AGAIN FOR ABOUT 2 WEEKS UNTIL I TRIED TO GET ON THE INTERSTATE AGAIN AT 50 MPH. I TOOK IT TO JEEP BECAUSE IT WAS STILL UNDER WARRANT AND WAS TOLD BECAUSE IT HAD ONE SIZE LARGER TIRES IT WAS NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY. AT 19500 MILES I REPLACED 4 BALL JOINTS, COMPLETE HEAVY DUTY DRAG LINK SYSTEM WITH NEW TIE ROD ENDS, NEW HD TRACK BAR, 4 NEW SHOCKS, NEW FRONT SPRINGS, HD STEERING DAMPER, TIRES MICRO BALANCED, WHEEL ALIGNMENT THAT LASTED ABOUT TWO MONTHS BEFORE IT DID IT AGAIN. I NOW HAVE 31,000 MILES ON IT AND STILL FIGHTING THE DEATH WOBBLE. I HAVE SPENT OVER A 1000 DOLLARS TO TRY AND FIX THIS. I BELIEVE THAT SHOULD BE LOOKED INTO BECAUSE SOMEONE WILL GET KILLED. I THINK IT'S ONLY A MATTER OF TIME. *TR

WHILE TRAVELING ACROSS A BRIDGE, AT APPROXIMATELY 45 MPH, AFTER HITTING A BUMP THE STEARING WHEEL STARTED TO WOBBLE GREATLY. HAD TO SLOW THE VEHICLE TO APPROX. 30 MPH TO GET IT TO STOP WOBBLING.

I BORROWED MY HUSBAND'S JEEP AND AS SOON AS I WENT ABOVE 50 THE WHOLE THING STARTED SHAKING REAL VIOLENTLY. I HAD A HARD TIME CONTROLLING IT. I PULLED OVER AND CALLED HIM. HE SAID IT'S BEEN HAPPENING FOR A FEW WEEKS AND ALWAYS TAKES BACK ROADS TO AVOID DRIVING FASTER. I HAD TO PUT ON THE HAZARD LIGHTS AND CRUISE TO THE NEAREST EXIT. THANK GOODNESS MY KIDS WEREN'T WITH ME BECAUSE I WASN'T STRONG ENOUGH TO CONTROL IT. IT SCARED THE DAYLIGHTS OUT OF ME. THEN I SAW ONLINE IT WAS A COMMON PROBLEM(WITH MODIFICATIONS-TOO BAD WE NEVER DID ANY) BUT NOT A BIG ENOUGH DEAL TO HAVE A RECALL. LET THEM DRIVE IT AND SEE HOW QUICK IT GETS DONE. DANGEROUS. THEY SAY IT'S AN EASY FIX AFTER YOU TRY HALF A DOZEN THINGS. GREAT! LET ME GET MY CHECKBOOK... *TR

OUR JEEP HAS HAD THE DEATH WOBBLE SINCE IT WAS BOUGHT BRAND NEW FROM THE DEALERSHIP. WHEN REACHING APPROXIMATELY 50MPH, THE VEHICLE BEGINS TO SHAKE/OSCILLATE UNCONTROLLABLY TO WHERE IT IS DIFFICULT TO KEEP THE VEHICLE IN ITS LANE. THE BRAKES HAVE TO BE PRESSED HEAVILY IN ORDER FOR IT TO STOP AND PRESENTS A CONCERN FOR REAR END COLLISION. TO PREVENT THE WOBBLE FROM HAPPENING, THE VEHICLE HAS TO BE DRIVEN 30MPH BELOW HIGHWAY SPEED LIMIT, CAUSING SAFETY CONCERNS.

I ALSO SPRAINED MY ARM ONCE WHEN TRYING TO KEEP IN CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE WHEN THE DEATH WOBBLE HAPPENED GOING DOWN HILL. *TR

NOW THAT HAVE FORCED CHRYSLER TO RECALL JEEP MODELS FOR AIRBAG PROBLEMS HOW ABOUT FORCING JEEP/CHRYSLER TO RECALL AND FIX JEEP FOR THE "DEATH WOBBLE". I FIRST EXPERIENCED THIS LAST YEAR. AT ABOUT 50MPH THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO SHAKE VIOLENTLY. I THOUGHT I WAS IN A BLENDER. I CHECKED THE INTERNET AND JEEP FORUM AND FOUND THIS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM WITH JEEP WRANGLERS. I EVEN CHECKED WITH THE JEEP DEALER HERE IN OKLAHOMA AND WAS TOLD IT COULD BE THE BALL JOINTS, STEERING CYLINDER AND/OR EVEN WORN TIRES. HE EVEN ACKNOWLEDGED THE PROBLEM. MY MECHANIC SAID THE BALL JOINTS WERE GOOD... THE TIRES JUST OK. BUT STEERING CYLINDER WOULD PROBABLY NEED REPLACING. SO I PAID $145.00 TO THE JEEP/CHRYSLER DEALER FOR A NEW STEERING CYLINDER. TURNS OUT THE ONE I PURCHASED WAS MUCH BIGGER THEN THE ONE I REPLACED. IT STILL SHOOK A LITTLE UNTIL I REPLACED THE TIRES AT ANOTHER $650.00. THIS NEEDS TO BE INVESTIGATED.

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.

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.

WHEN OPERATING THE VEHICLE AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS, STRIKING A SMALL BUMP IN THE ROADWAY CAUSES SEVERE FRONT END OSCILLATION FROM THE AXEL.

FOR ME, THIS PROBLEM HAS NOT RESULTED IN A CRASH OR INJURY. HOWEVER IT COULD LEAD TO THE ABOVE IF NOT RESOLVED BY THE MANUFACTURE. PROBLEM IS, WHEN DRIVING MY 2006 JEEP WRANGLER AND A BUMP IS ENCOUNTERED, SUCH AS A POT HOLE, A MAN HOLE COVER, EXPANSION JOINTS ETC. THE FRONT WHEELS GO IN TO A VERY SEVERE LEFT TO RIGHT OSCILLATION. TO RECOVER FROM THIS ONE MUST COME TO ALMOST A COMPLETE STOP. A LITTLE HARD TO DO AT 60MPH IN THE MIDDLE OF THE FREEWAY. CHRYSLER SAYS THAT THE FIX IS A NEW STEERING DAMPER, AT THE OWNER'S EXPENSE. THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE AMONG THE JEEP COMMUNITY, CALLED "THE DEATH WOBBLE".I BELIEVE THIS IS TOO MUCH OF A SAFETY ISSUE FOR THE MANUFACTURE TO RESOLVE AT THEIR EXPENSE VIA A RECALL. SOMEONE IS GOING TO GET KILLED. *TR

2006 JEEP WRANGLER: AT ABOUT 10,000 MILES, I NOTICED THAT A SHUDDER STARTED TO DEVELOP IN MY FRONT END AND WOULD VIBRATE UP THROUGH THE STEERING WHEEL AT AROUND 45 MPH.

NOW, AT 22,000 MILES, I HAVE A VIOLENT SHUDDER BETWEEN 40 AND 60 MPH, THAT IT FEELS LIKE I AM ABOUT TO LOSE CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE. MY WIFE WAS DRIVING ON A MAJOR HIGHWAY AND HIT A BUMP AT ABOUT 55 AND ALMOST LOST CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE. IT WAS SO BAD THAT SHE HAD TO BRAKE IN ORDER TO AVOID HITTING THE CAR IN THE LANE NEXT TO HER. THIS SEEMS LIKE AN INCREDIBLY DANGEROUS SITUATION.

IN REFERENCE TO ALL LATE MODEL JEEP WRANGLERS. WHAT IS KNOWN AS THE "DEATH WOBBLE". AT A SPEED OF 35 TO 55 MPH, A VIBRATION IN THE FRONT END WILL OCCUR THAT MAGNIFIES IN INTENSITY UNTIL THE DRIVER MUST STOP THE VEHICLE TO REGAIN CONTROL. VERY DANGEROUS. JEEP SAYS THAT IT THINKS A STEERING DAMPER CHANGE COULD STOP THIS FROM OCCURRING,BUT HAS NEVER ISSUED A RECALL OR DESIGN CHANGE. PROBLEM SPANS SEVERAL YEARS OF THE WRANGLER MODEL. I HAVE HEARD OF MID 90'S ALL THE WAY TO MY 06' HAVING THE "DEATH WOBBLE". IN MY OPINION JEEP HAS NEGLECTED TO FIX A VERY SERIOUS PROBLEM THAT IM SURE HAS CAUSED MORE THAN A FEW ACCIDENTS. I HAVE HAD TO STOP COMPLETELY GETTING ON THE INTERSTATE TO REGAIN CONTROL . THAT CANT BE SAFE. I WOULD THINK THAT A FIX SHOULDN'T BE THAT HARD FOR THE ENGINEERS AT DAIMLER/CHRYSLER TO COME UP WITH . AFTER ALL THE JEEP IS AN AMAZING VEHICLE. THEREFORE I AM REQUESTING THAT THE NHTSA COMMENCE AN INVESTIGATION INTO THE DEATH WOBBLE" AND JEEPS RESPONSIBILITY IN THIS .

I AM LOOKING FORWARD TO SPEAKING WITH A NHTSA REP AT THEIR CONVENIENCE. IF YOU NEED TO OBSERVE THE DEATH WOBBLE OR NEED MORE INFO PLEASE FEEL FREE TO CONTACT ME ANYTIME VIA EMAIL OR PHONE. OR YOU CAN JUST GOOGLE IT . YOU WOULD BE AMAZED AT THE NUMBER OF PEOPLE OUT THERE THAT HAVE THIS PROBLEM AND JEEP ACTS AS IF IT DOESN'T EXIST. ALL I CAN SAY IS WOW. THANKS AGAIN FOR DOING YOUR JOBS AND MAKING THESE COMPANIES BE RESPONSIBLE. *TR

IN REFERENCE TO ALL LATE MODEL JEEP WRANGLERS. WHAT IS KNOWN AS THE "DEATH WOBBLE". AT A SPEED OF 35 TO 55 MPH, A VIBRATION IN THE FRONT END WILL OCCUR THAT MAGNIFIES IN INTENSITY UNTIL THE DRIVER MUST STOP THE VEHICLE TO REGAIN CONTROL. VERY DANGEROUS. JEEP SAYS THAT IT THINKS A STEERING DAMPER CHANGE COULD STOP THIS FROM OCCURRING,BUT HAS NEVER ISSUED A RECALL OR DESIGN CHANGE. PROBLEM SPANS SEVERAL YEARS OF THE WRANGLER MODEL. I HAVE HEARD OF MID 90'S ALL THE WAY TO MY 06' HAVING THE "DEATH WOBBLE". IN MY OPINION JEEP HAS NEGLECTED TO FIX A VERY SERIOUS PROBLEM THAT IM SURE HAS CAUSED MORE THAN A FEW ACCIDENTS. I HAVE HAD TO STOP COMPLETELY GETTING ON THE INTERSTATE TO REGAIN CONTROL . THAT CANT BE SAFE. I WOULD THINK THAT A FIX SHOULDN'T BE THAT HARD FOR THE ENGINEERS AT DAIMLER/CHRYSLER TO COME UP WITH .

I PURCHASED A 2006 JEEP WRANGLER SPORT ON SEPT 25, 2008. WITHIN ONE WEEK OF DRIVING THIS VEHICLE I EXPERIENCED SEVERE WOBBLE (AKA "DEATH WOBBLE") WHILE TRAVELING AROUND 55MPH TWICE. IT HAPPENED WHEN I RAN OVER ROUGH AREAS IN THE ROAD THAT HAD BEEN PATCHED UP POT HOLES. THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO SHAKE VIOLENTLY FROM SIDE TO SIDE. I HAD TO ALMOST COME TO A COMPLETE STOP BEFORE IT WOULD STOP DO THIS. I FELT I HAD NO CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE WHILE THIS WAS HAPPENING. AFTER THE FIRST TIME I SEARCHED THE INTERNET AND FOUND THAT THIS IS NOT AN ISOLATED PROBLEM AND THAT MANY, MANY OTHER OWNERS HAVE EXPERIENCED THE SAME THING. IT IS REFERRED TO AS THE "JEEP DEATH WOBBLE". I CONTACTED THE LOCAL CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP BECAUSE THE JEEP IS STILL UNDER WARRANTY. WHEN I EXPLAINED THE SITUATION TO THEM THEY ACTED AS IF THEY NEVER HEARD OF SUCH A THING. THEY REPLACED THE DAMPER ON THE STEERING BUT I KNOW FROM MY RESEARCH THAT THIS IS JUST A SHORT TIME \"FIX\" AND THAT ALTHOUGH CHRYSLER HAS RECEIVED MANY LETTERS FROM CONSUMERS SUCH AS MYSELF, THEY REFUSE TO ACKNOWLEDGE THE FACT THAT THEIR DESIGN IF DANGEROUS THEREFORE, THERE HAS BEEN NO RECALL TO PERMANENTLY FIX THE PROBLEM. I THEN CONTACTED X-TREME JEEPS IN TAMPA FLORIDA AND THE OWNER INFORMED ME THAT THE ONLY WAY TO REMEDY THE PROBLEM IS TO ELIMINATE THE DAMPER ALL TOGETHER AND INSTALL THE RUGGED RIDGE STEERING KIT WHICH ACTUALLY BRINGS THE MECHANISM BACK TO THE OLDER WAY THE JEEPS WERE MADE BACK WHEN AMC BUILT THEM. THIS IS AN EXPENSIVE JOB, COSTING APPROX. $330. I CAN NOT AFFORD THIS PLUS THE MONTHLY CAR PAYMENT BUT THEN AGAIN, I CAN\'T AFFORD TO WRECK MY VEHICLE DO TO POOR DESIGN. I LIVE 17 MILES FROM MY JOB AND CAN\'T AFFORD TO GO WITHOUT MY TRANSPORTATION. THIS IS A VERY UNSAFE VEHICLE CHRYSLER DOES NOT ACKNOWLEDGE RESPONSIBLE. WHEN I WENT TO PICK UP MY JEEP FROM THE DEALERSHIP AFTER THEY REPLACED THE DAMPER I HAD TO COME UP WITH $83.63 FOR THE ROTATION/BALANCE OF THE TIRES. NO PHYSICAL DAMAGE BUT MY NERVES ARE SHOT OVER THIS. *TR

2006 JEEP WRANGLER - EXTREME FRONT END SHUTTER AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS, USUALLY IN THE AREA OF 55MPH. THE SHUTTER IS SO BAD THE VEHICLE HAS TO BE STOPPED IMMEDIATELY TO AVOID LOSS OF CONTROL. THIS HAS OCCURRED 3 TIMES IN THE LAST WEEK ALONE. THE DEALER CLAIMS IT IS A KNOWN ISSUE BUT THE PART IS OUT OF STOCK. THEY (JEEP) CALLS IT A SHIMMER, I* SAY IT IS A SHUTTER AND A LIFE SAFETY ISSUE. *TR
