Track bar bracket broke off at 65 mph due to violent steering death wobble. I had no steering when track bar bracket welds broke off axle. No Sterring. Yes, independent. Had to have vehicle toed on flatbed. Yes, Insurance said they will not cover catastrophic failure of the steering or the damage. No warnings other than dramatic front-end vibration that broke off the metal bracket.

The contact owns a 2010 Jeep Wrangler. The contact stated while driving at 5 MPH, the passenger's side steering column detached. No warning lights were illuminated. Additionally, the transmission had a fluid leak. The vehicle was towed to an independent mechanic, where it was diagnosed that the drag link, control arm, and adjustment sleeve needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 100,000.

Hello, Recently my 2010 Jeep Wrangler has developed the infamous death wobble. It is one of the most terrifying things I've ever experienced. Being on the freeway, doing 75, having my vehicle suddenly start shaking and wobbling like it's coming apart at the seams, and having to come to a complete stop in the middle of rush hour traffic, 3 lanes away from the shoulder has given me extreme anxiety! I have read in depth about this issue, I have read that there have been lawsuits and tech bulletins, but never a recall because "nobody has died from this". Believe me, it's only a matter of time, whether it be a heart attack or an accident, it will happen.

RPM FLUCTUATING RAPIDLY, LOSS OF POWER, THEN IT STARTS A DEATH WOBBLE THAT IS ALMOST UNCONTROLLABLE THAT IS SIDE TO SIDE. WILL BE DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY AND IT HAPPENS EVERYTIME.

Mileage: 136,001

DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY APPROX 70 MPH (SPEED LIMIT) WHEN THE BATTERY LIGHT SENSOR NOTIFICATION CAME ON. MOVED OVER TO THE SLOW LANE TO GET OFF THE NEXT EXIT. WITHIN ~ 5 MILES OF DRIVING, THE CAR COMPLETELY SHUT DOWN. TOTAL ENGINE LOSS AND LOSS OF ALL ELECTRICAL INCLUDING POWER STEERING MAKING IT EXTREMELY DIFFICULT TO SAFELY EXIT THE LANE ONTO THE SHOULDER.

Mileage: 169,500

VEHICLE DIES WHILE DRIVING ALL ELECTRICAL LIGHTS ON DASH ARE LIT UP. CONSUMER STATED AFTER PULLING THE VEHICLE INTO A PARKING LOT VEHICLE WOULD NOT START. AFTER 10 MINUTES VEHICLE STARTS, WIPERS GO AT FULL SPEED AND DEPLOY ALL WASHER FLUID. CHECK ENGINE LIGHT REVELED LOW VOLTAGE TO THE TIPM MODULE. HORNS SOUNDS WHILE BACKING UP. ANOTHER TIME ARE WINDOWS WILL NOT ROLL DOWN AND AFTER A FEW MINUTES THEY START WORKING AGAIN. AFTER DISCONNECTING BATTERY PROBLEM GO AWAYS.*DT*JB *TR

SPORATIC UNCONTROLLABLE SHAKING WHILE DRIVING. ONLY STOPS WHEN YOU SLOW DOWN TO AROUND 20MPH. I GOOGLED IT AND IT'S KNOWN AS THE "DEATH WOBBLE" AND IS VERY PREVALENT PROBLEM WITH JEEPS. DEALERSHIP SAYS IT NEEDS NEW STEERING STABILIZER. IT IS VERY DANGEROUS.

Mileage: 118,000

I HAVE WHAT IS KNOWN AS A 'DEATH WOBBLE' AT ANY TIME MY JEEP GOES INTO A SEVERE WOBBLE OF THE FRONT AXLE AND STEERING. I WAS IN 3RD GEAR GOING 30 MPH SLOWING DOWN FOR A STOP SIGN, WHEN THE JEEP WENT INTO THE 'DEATH WOBBLE'. IT IS SO SEVERE IT FEELS LIKE THE FRONT END IS GOING TO BREAK APART. THE ONLY WAY TO STOP THIS IS TO TAKE YOUR FOOT OFF THE GAS AND PUT THE MANUAL TRANSMISSION IN NEUTRAL. MY MECHANIC TOLD ME NOT TO EVER PUT YOUR FOOT ON THE BRAKE, BECAUSE THAT CAN CAUSE EVEN MORE DAMAGE. MY MECHANIC AND I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY JEEP DOESN'T WANT TO ADDRESS THIS ISSUE OF SAFETY. JEEP JUST TOLD ME THAT YES THEY HAVE HEARD OF THIS COMPLAINT BUT THEY USUALLY KNOW HOW TO FIX IT. BUT IT WILL COST ME A LOT OF MONEY. I FEEL THEY SHOULD BE ADDRESSING THIS ISSUE AS WHAT IT TRULY IS "A SAFETY ISSUE"

AFTER RESEARCHING THE INTERNET I CAM ACROSS THE ACRONYM OF THE ISSUE. WHAT HAPPENED IS EXACTLY DESCRIBED IN THIS ARTICLE AS THE "DEATH WOBBLE." HTTP://ABC7NEWS.COM/ARCHIVE/8547340/ THIS HAS HAPPENED MULTIPLE TIMES WHILE I'M DRIVING AT AN AVERAGE SPEED OR HIGH SPEED. IF I HIT A DIP OR TURN AT A AVERAGE TO HIGH SPEED MY JEEP SHAKES UNCONTROLLABLY. TODAY I WAS DRIVING TO WORK ON THE 60 EASTBOUND IN THE HIGH SPEED LANE GOING THE SPEED LIMIT (CRUISE CONTROL). MY JEEP HIT A DIP AND SHOOK SO UNCONTROLLABLY I ALMOST HAD TO DO A COMPLETE STOP ON THE FREEWAY. I TRIED THE BEST I COULD TO MERGE TO THE SLOW SPEED LANE TO POSSIBLY EXIT THE FREEWAY. A FEW VEHICLES WERE BEHIND ME WHEN THIS HAPPENED AND IT ALMOST CAUSED A SEVERE ACCIDENT. IT LITERALLY FEELS LIKE THE AXEL IS GOING TO SNAP IN HALF OR THE VEHICLE MAY EVEN FLIP IF THE SHAKING WERE TO CONTINUE. WHEN THE VEHICLE IS SHAKING LIKE THIS THE ONLY WAY I'VE EXPERIENCED FOR IT TO STOP IS QUICKLY SLOWING DOWN ALMOST TO A COMPLETE STOP. IF I SLOW DOWN SLOWLY IT STILL SHAKES UNCONTROLLABLY SO MUCH SO THAT IT PUTS ME IN THE OTHER LANE. THIS ISSUE NEEDS TO BE FIXED AND CAN MOST DEFINITELY KILL SOMEONE. THIS HAPPENED TODAY AT LEAST 3 TIMES. I THEN FINALLY PUT MY VEHICLE IN FOUR WHEEL DRIVE AT 2H WHILE DRIVING FEARING IF IT HAPPENS AGAIN, MY AXEL MAY BREAK; OR WORSE MY LIFE TAKEN. BEFORE THIS INCIDENT I'D SAY IT'S HAPPENED EVERY NOW AND THEN. APPROX. ONCE EVERY 3-6 MONTHS SINCE I GOT THE VEHICLE. I ALSO HAVE MY TIRES ROTATED EVERY TIME I GET MY OIL CHANGED AT 3,000 MILES. THIS SHOULD NOT BE HAPPENING

TL* THE CONTACT OWNED A 2010 JEEP WRANGLER. WHILE DRIVING 68 MPH, THE VEHICLE SHOOK UNCONTROLLABLY. THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. A LOCAL DEALER WAS NOTIFIED (CAMACHO AUTO SALES INC, 1358 E PALMDALE BLVD, PALMDALE, CA 93550 (661) 449-8600). THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE CONTACT MENTIONED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS SURRENDERED TO THE DEALER. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE AND STATED THAT SOMEONE WAS INVESTIGATING AND WOULD CALL THE CONTACT BACK.

I WAS RETURNING HOME FROM THE GROCERY STORE AND WAS DRIVING ON A PAVED CITY STREET WITH NO POTHOLES, SPEED-BUMPS, OR OTHER OBSTRUCTIONS. AS I MADE A LEFT TURN INTO OUR DRIVEWAY I HEARD A NOISE AND THEN SUDDENLY THE JEEP TURNED HARD RIGHT AND I HIT ANOTHER CARE PARKED ON THE RIGHT SIDE OF OUR DRIVEWAY. I HAD NO CONTROL OF THE STEERING. UPON INSPECTION, I NOTICED THAT THE STUD COMING FROM THE STEERING GEAR BOX HAD SHEARED IN HALF BETWEEN THE STEERING GEAR BOX AND THE PITMAN ARM. THERE WAS NOTHING THAT I DID THAT WOULD HAVE CAUSED THIS TO HAPPEN. ALSO, THIS JEEP HAS NEVER BEEN OFF ROAD. I CONTACTED CHRYSLER AND THEY SAID I NEED TO CONTACT MY INSURANCE COMPANY. THEY OFFERED NO ASSISTANCE.

WASN'T DUE FOR AN OIL CHANGE FOR 3000 MILES I USE SYNTHETIC ROD BLEW WHILE ON FREEWAY WITH MY DAUGHTER IN THE CAR . NO BRAKES NO WARNING NO STEERING WE COULD HAVE DIED! CHRYSLER TURNING THEIR HEAD! MECHANIC SAYS IT'S A DEFECT IN ENGINE AND NEVER SEEN AN ENGINE BLOW AT 64,000 MILES AND STILL HAVE ALL PROPER LEVELS OF FLUIDS! I WAS GOING 65 MILES AN HOUR ON A FREEWAY THANK GOD IT WAS A STRAIGHT STRETCH AND I WAS IN THE RIGHT LANE, HAD THERE BEEN A TURN OR HAD WE HAVE BEEN ON A BRIDGE WE WOULD HAVE DIED OR SERIOUSLY INJURED SOMEONE ELSE!

ON 7/9/16 AND 7/19/16, I WAS DRIVING ON I95 AND MY CAR STARTED THE "DEATH WOBBLE" - UNCONTROLLABLE INTENSE SHAKING THAT I ALMOST GOT INTO AN ACCIDENT. THE ONLY THING THAT STOPS, I DISCOVERED RECENTLY, IT IS TO SLOW DOWN TO A STOP, WHICH IS PRETTY DIFFICULT ON A HIGHWAY WITHOUT GETTING REAR ENDED OR INTO AN ACCIDENT. THIS APPARENTLY IS COMMON AMONG JEEPS, ESPECIALLY WRANGLERS, BUT IT SHOULD BE FIXED BY CHRYSLER. THIS IS REALLY DANGEROUS!!

YESTERDAY WHILE TRAVELING WITH MY 2 YOUNG GRANDCHILDREN, I EXPERIENCED SOMETHING KNOWN AS "DEATH WOBBLE", A VIOLENT VIBRATION IN THE FRONT END. IT HAPPENED 3 TIMES YESTERDAY AND TWICE TODAY. ALL TIMES I WAS TRAVELING ON A FREEWAY AT AROUND 55 MPH. IT BEGAN TO WOBBLE AS I ENTERED A CURVE IN THE ROAD. I WAS LUCKY ENOUGH TO BE ABLE TO SLOW AND PULL TO THE SHOULDER EACH TIME. THE ONLY WAY TO MAKE IT STOP IS TO STOP THE VEHICLE. I'M ESPECIALLY CONCERNED BECAUSE THIS ALSO HAPPENED TO MY 2007 WRANGLER. WHY HAS JEEP NOT FIXED THIS PROBLEM? IT'S BOTH TERRIFYING AND EXPENSIVE TO FIX. I WILL NEVER PURCHASE ANOTHER JEEP.

WHEN REACHING SPEEDS OF 45MPH AND ABOVE THE STEERING WHEEL STARTS TO SHAKE VIOLENTLY FROM LEFT TO RIGHT. WHEN THIS STARTED, A MECHANIC SAW NOTHING WRONG EXCEPT FOR A WORN OUT STEERING STABILIZER, SO HE REPLACED IT. THE PROBLEM PERSISTS, BUT NOW IT ONLY HAPPENS WHEN I HIT A BUMP IN ROAD WHEN TRAVELING ABOVE 50MPH. I TOOK IT TO A SECOND MECHANIC AND HE INSTALLED AN AFTERMARKET TRACK BAR AND BALANCED THE WHEELS. THE PROBLEM IS STILL THERE. A SIMPLE INTERNET SEARCH SHOWS THAT THIS IS NOT AN UNCOMMON OCCURRENCE WITH JEEPS, YET THE MANUFACTURER HAS DONE NOTHING TO CORRECT IT. MY VEHICLE IS COMPLETELY STOCK, EXCEPT FOR THE TRACK BAR, AND CURRENTLY HAS APPROXIMATELY 60,000 MILES ON IT.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 JEEP WRANGLER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT 40 MPH, THE FRONT OF THE VEHICLE VIOLENTLY WOBBLED MAKING IT DIFFICULT TO MANEUVER THE VEHICLE. THE CONTACT MENTIONED THAT HE WAS ABLE TO AVOID A CRASH DUE TO THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE VEHICLE NEEDED A STEERING DAMPER AND A TRACK BAR. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE VEHICLE ALSO WAS TAKEN TO GET A FRONT END ALIGNMENT AND TIRES ROTATED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 20,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 JEEP WRANGLER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT WAS CONSTANTLY ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT ALSO STATED THAT THE HORN BECAME INOPERABLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE CLOCK SPRING FAILED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 13V176000 (AIR BAGS). THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNKNOWN.

THERE ARE RECALLS ALREADY FOR THE ISSUE BELOW FOR RIGHT HAND STEERING VEHICLES. THIS RECALL SHOULD BE APPLIED TO ALL JEEP WRANGLER VEHICLES 2007-2012. A BROKEN ELECTRICAL CIRCUIT IN THE AIRBAG CLOCKSPRING WIRING ASSEMBLY CAN LEAD TO NON-DEPLOYMENT OF THE DRIVER FRONTAL AIRBAG AND WILL NOT BE ABLE TO PROPERLY PROTECT THE DRIVER IN THE EVENT OF A CRASH, INCREASING THE RISK OF INJURIES. ANYTIME THAT THE STEERING WHEEL IS MOVED FROM NEUTRAL/STRAIGHT POSITION THE AIRBAG LIGHT WILL TURN ON AND A CHIME IS HEARD.

I HAVE WHAT IS COMMONLY KNOWN AS THE JEEP "DEATH WOBBLE". I CANNOT BELIEVE THAT A RECALL HAS NOT BEEN ISSUED FOR THIS. I ALMOST CAUSED AN ACCIDENT ENTERING A HIGHWAY WITH A CONSTRUCTION ZONE AS THERE WAS NO WHERE TO PULL OVER. THE JEEP WAS UNCONTROLLABLE AT 55 MPH.

I HAVE A 2010 JEEP WRANGLER SAHARA UNLIMITED WITH 62K ON IT. I FIRST NOTICED A JAR AND SHAKING AFTER HITTING A BUMP A FEW MONTHS AGO AND DIDN'T THINK ANYTHING OF THIS, UNTIL TONIGHT!Y JEEP IS COMPLETELY STOCK. I WAS COMING HOME FROM WORK AND HIT A BUMP ON THE HIGHWAY AND MY WHOLE ENTIRE FRONT END COMPLETELY SHOOK WHERE I COULD BARELY CONTROL THE VEHICLE. I HAD TO SLOW DOWN BUT WAS SCARED TO DEATH BECAUSE THERE WAS A SEMI BEHIND ME, WHEN I SLOWED DOWN IT DIDN'T DO IT ANYMORE! THIS IS SO DANGEROUS I GO ON MULTIPLE TRIPS WITH MY TWO SONS AND CAN'T IMAGINE TO SAFETY THAT IS AT RISK WITH THIS TYPE OF MALFUNCTION IN A JEEP. *TR

THE PROBLEM HAPPENED 3 TIMES. TWO AT VERY LOW SPEEDS DURING THE DAY, AND ONCE AT NIGHT AT HIGH SPEED. THE FIRST TIME IT HAPPENED, I WAS DRIVING THE JEEP AND THE ENGINE STALLED. IT WAS HARD TO STEER, BUT I WAS MOVING SLOW. I THOUGHT IT WAS A WEIRD FLUKE. I PUT THE CAR IN PARK AND RESTARTED IT WITH NO PROBLEM. THE SECOND TIME IT MY HUSBAND WAS DRIVING, WE HAD JUST PULLED OUT OF OUR NEIGHBORHOOD AND THE JEEP STALLED. THE BREAKS DON'T WORK WELL, AND THE STEERING IS DIFFICULT. HE PUT THE JEEP IN NEUTRAL AND RESTARTED IT WITH NO PROBLEM. THE THIRD TIME IT HAPPENED, WAS ON JANUARY 10, 2015. I WAS DRIVING AT NIGHT WITH MY CHILD ON A LONG TRIP. I HAD BEEN DRIVING THE JEEP FOR SEVERAL HOURS ON THE INTERSTATE. IT HAPPENED AT AROUND 10:00 PM - IT WAS VERY DARK. I WAS IN THE PASSING LANE GOING ABOUT 65 MPH WHEN THE ENGINE STALLED, THE HEADLIGHTS WENT OUT, ALL THE INTERIOR LIGHTS WENT OUT, DASHBOARD WENT DARK, AND I KNEW FROM THE PREVIOUS TWO TIMES, THAT IF I APPLIED THE BREAKS OR TRIED TO STEER, IT WOULD BE VERY DIFFICULT. I DECIDED THAT I DIDN'T WANT TO LOOK DOWN AND TRY TO FIND NEUTRAL AND ACCIDENTALLY PUT IT IN A LOW GEAR. SO I TURNED THE IGNITION SWITCH AND EVERYTHING CAME BACK ON (ENGINE, LIGHT INSIDE AND OUT, POWER STEERING, AND POWER BREAKS) WHILE THE JEEP WAS IN DRIVE TRAVELING AT 65 MPH. I TOOK IT TO THE JEEP DEALER TO HAVE IT REPAIRED. THEY TOLD ME THAT THE TRANS RANGE SENSOR WENT BAD. MY MAIN CONCERN IS - WHY IS THE ENGINE STALLING AND JEEP LOSING ALL POWER WHILE MOVING WHEN THE SENSOR GOES BAD? THERE WAS NO WARNING LIGHT TO LET ME KNOW A SENSOR WAS BAD. ARE ALL JEEPS DESIGNED WITH THIS SENSOR, AND WILL ALL JEEPS EXPERIENCE THE SAME THING IF THEIR TRANS RANGE SENSOR GOES BAD, OR WAS IT JUST SOMETHING THAT HAPPENED WITH MY SPECIFIC VEHICLE? *TR

WHILE DRIVING AT ALL SPEEDS I WOULD GET AN AIRBAG WARNING LIGHT AND CHIME ASSOCIATED WITH STEERING INPUTS. CONTACTED SERVICE DEPARTMENT. THEY SAID NO RECALL EXISTS AND IM OUT OF WARRANTY AND WOULD HAVE TO PAY TO GET IT FIXED. LOOKED UP RECALLS AND FAILED COMPONENTS COMMON TO MY COMPLAINT. FOUND THE EXACT PROBLEM ON MY JEEP UP TO 2009 AND ANOTHER RECALL FOR MY YEAR JEEP BUT ONLY RIGHT HANDED STEERING MODELS. DID MORE RESEARCH AND THE SAME PART NUMBER COMPONENT IS USED IN ALL OF THEM IN THIS YEAR GROUP BUT MY VEHICLE ISN'T COVERED. THIS IS A GROSS NEGLECT TO ADDRESS A KNOW SAFETY CONCERN AND COULD RESULT IN SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH. THE JEEP WAS BOUGHT NEW, AND AIRBAGS SHOULD BE WARRANTIED FOR LONGER THAN 36,000 MILES. ESPECIALLY WHEN THEY ARE BEING RECALLED FOR EVERY YEAR AND MODEL AROUND MINE AND I HAVE THE SAME EXACT PROBLEM. *TR

WHILE DRIVING MY AIR BAG LIGHT CAME ON. WHEN I TURN RIGHT IT GOES OUT. AS I STRAIGHTEN OUT IT COMES BACK ON. RESEARCH SAYS IT'S A CLOCK SPRING SENSOR OR MODULE BASED ON HOW IT GOES ON AND OFF WHEN THE WHEEL IS TURNED. CONTACTED MY LOCAL DEALERSHIP AND WAS TOLD THAT THIS IS NOT A WARRANTY ISSUE AND THAT IT WOULD COST AROUND $400 FOR THE PART AND LABOR. THIS IS A DEVICE THAT HAS BEEN RECALLED ON MANY OTHER JK JEEPS, YET THERE IS NO RECALL ON THE 2010. ADDITIONALLY I HAVE A CERTIFIED PRE-OWNED WARRANTY AND THEY SAID IT ISN'T COVERED UNDER THAT WARRANTY EITHER. THIS IS CRAZY. *TR

WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AT APPROX 45MPH, THE JEEP BEGAN TO SHAKE/JUMP UNCONTROLLABLY FOR NO APPARENT REASON. WE TOOK IT INTO THE JEEP DEALER FROM WHOM WE BOUGHT THE VEHICLE. HE TIGHTENED THE TRACK BAR (??) AND REPLACED THE STEERING STABILIZER. WE EXPLAINED TO HIM THAT WE WERE BEGINNING A CROSS COUNTRY TRIP, SO HE SHOULD CHECK EVERYTHING. A WEEK OR SO LATER, WE BEGAN THE TRIP FROM FLORIDA TO CALIFORNIA. TWO DAYS INTO THE TRIP (EAST TEXAS), WHILE TRAVELING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS, WE EXPERIENCED THE SHAKE AGAIN. WE HAD TO TOP THE VEHICLE AND TOOK IT TO THE NEAREST JEEP DEALERSHIP, DRIVING ON SIDE STREETS AT MINIMAL SPEEDS. THE DEALERSHIP REPLACED THE UPPER AND LOWER BALL JOINTS. THERE WERE ALREADY TWO JEEPS IN THE SHOP WITH THE SAME PROBLEM AND WHILE WE WERE THERE, ANOTHER PERSON CAME IN WITH THE SAME ISSUE. WE THEN CONTINUED OUR TRIP. TWO DAYS LATER, IN CALIFORNIA, WE AGAIN EXPERIENCED THE SHAKE WHILE TRAVELING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. AGAIN, WE TOOK THE CAR TO A JEEP DEALER WHO SAID WE NEEDED TO REPLACE THE STEERING STABILIZER. WE TOLD HIM IT HAD ALREADY BEEN DONE. HE NOTED THAT THE STABILIZER THAT COMES AS STANDARD EQUIPMENT WITH THE JEEP IS NOT ROBUST ENOUGH AND THAT MOST JEEPS WILL EXPERIENCE THIS PROBLEM IF NOT UPGRADED. WE ALSO REPORTED THIS SEQUENCE OF EVENTS TO JEEP. WE HAVE SINCE RESEARCHED THIS ISSUE ON THE INTERNET AND HAVE FOUND THE PROBLEM IS KNOW AS "DEATH WOBBLE" AND SEEMS TO BE QUITE PREVALENT. *TR

I PURCHASED A USED 2010 JEEP WRANGLER UNLIMITED ON JULY 11, 2013. IT HAD JUST UNDER 10K MILES ON IT. WITHIN THE FIRST FEW DAYS OF DRIVING IT, I HEAR AND FEEL A THUMP IN THE STEERING, WHILE DRIVING. IT IS NOT A NORMAL NOISE FROM SUSPENSION WORKING. THE ISSUE HAS GONE ON AND ON. LATER AT ABOUT 18K MILES, I BEGAN HAVING DEATH WOBBLE ISSUES. I HAVE HAD IT TO 2 SHOPS AND INSPECTED THINGS MYSELF. BALL JOINTS, WHEEL BEARINGS, TIE RODS/ENDS, STEERING STABILIZER, YOU NAME IT. I FINALLY AFTER SEVERAL SCARY EVENTS, AND CONTINUALLY HAVING SHOPS TELL ME THERE IS NOTHING WRONG, HAVE FOUND THE ISSUE. WITH 25K MILES, I AM HAVING TO HAVE THE STEERING GEAR BOX REPLACED. THE SECTOR SHAFT IS SHOT. THE STEERING WHEEL IS ALL OVER THE PLACE. THIS IS MY DAILY DRIVER, SO UNFORTUNATELY I HAVE NO OPTION BUT TO DRIVE IT AND HOPE I MAKE IT TO AND FROM SAFELY, AS WELL AS THE OTHER DRIVERS ON THE ROAD. I BELIEVE AFTER A LOT OF RESEARCH ON THE JEEP FORUMS, THAT JEEP HAS A PROBLEM WITH THE GEAR BOX, AND THAT IT IS ONE OF THE COMMON CAUSES OF DEATH WOBBLE IN THE JK MODELS. I AM TAKING MINE IN TOMORROW TO HAVE IT REPLACED. I HAVE ONLY 25K MILES ON IT, BUT IT IS 4YRS OLD. SO, I AM SURE I WILL END UP STUCK WITH THE BILL ON THIS. *TR

THIS HAS HAPPENED MULTIPLE TIMES, WHILE DRIVING AT A HIGHER RATER OF SPEED (ANYTHING ABOVE 45MPH) AND GOING AROUND A CURVE, THE FRONT END BEGINS TO VIOLENTLY SHAKE TO THE POINT THAT IT IS DIFFICULT/IMPOSSIBLE TO CONTROL AND YOU MUST PULL OFF TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. AKA THE DEATH WOBBLE. THERE WAS NOT A POT HOLE, OR ANYTHING IN THE WAY, JUST A REGULAR ROAD. I HAVE HAD TO DO THIS ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS AND ON BUSY HIGHWAYS, NEARLY CAUSING AN ACCIDENT AND BEING REAR ENDED SINCE I HAD TO STOP SUDDENLY AND PULL OFF THE ROAD. I HAVE TAKE IT IN A NUMBER OF TIMES WITH THIS PROBLEM AND NO SOLUTION IS FOUND, THEY JUST KEEP WANTING TO ROTATE MY TIRES. *TR

I HAVE A 2010 JEEP JK UNLIMITED 4X4. I BOUGHT THE VEHICLE USED FROM A LOCAL DEALER IN JULY OF 2013, WITH APPROX. 10K MILES ON IT. AT ABOUT 18K MILES, I BEGAN EXPERIENCING THE COMMON DREADED "DEATH WOBBLE". I WAS DRIVING DOWN A COUNTRY ROAD WITH MY CHILDREN IN THE BACK SEATS. ALL OF A SUDDEN, WHILE HITTING A SMALL BUMP IN THE ROAD, THE STEERING WHEEL BEGAN RAPIDLY MOVING BACK AND FORTH AND THE FRONTEND OF THE VEHICLE WAS SHAKING VIOLENTLY. I QUICKLY STOPPED THE VEHICLE, CHECKED ON MY NOW FRIGHTENED CHILDREN, THEN GO OUT TO EXAMINE MY VEHICLE. I COULDN'T FIND ANYTHING OBVIOUS, LIKE TIE RODS OR BALL JOINTS. SO, I SLOWLY DROVE HOME. I WENT OVER THE ENTIRE FRONT END. COULDN'T FIND ANYTHING. AFTER READING A LOT OF FORUMS ON THE MATTER, I FOUND I AM ONE OF MANY JEEP OWNERS THAT HAVE/ARE FIGHTING THIS SAME ISSUE. I WENT AHEAD AND PUT ON A NEW STEERING STABILIZER, AND TRACKBARS, AS THESE ARE CLAIMED TO BE THE MOST COMMON ISSUES (EVEN THOUGH MINE LOOKED FINE AND HAD NO PLAY). I CONTINUALLY HAVE HAD THE PROBLEM AND HAVE HAD IT TO SHOP FOR AN ALIGNMENT, TIRE ROTATIONS, AND CHECKING THE BALANCING ON THE TIRES. THE SHOP SAID TIRES AND ALIGNMENT WERE FINE. WE FOUND THAT THERE WAS SOME PLAY IN THE SECTOR SHAFT WHERE THE PITMAN ARM CONNECTS TO THE STEERING GEARBOX. SOME GUYS ARE SAYING THEY HAVE REPLACED THEIRS 3 TIMES IN 30K MILES. I DON'T OFFROAD, MY VEHICLE ISN'T EXPOSED TO HARSH CONDITIONS, WHERE ONE COULD EXPECT MECHANICAL FAILURES. I CURRENTLY HAVE 26K MILES ON MINE, AND HAVE BEEN TRYING TO FIND OUT THE CAUSE, MEANWHILE THROWING $$ AND PARTS ON IT TO TRY AND FIND THE ISSUE. AFTER RESEARCHING AND SEEING THE LARGE AMOUNT OF OWNERS FIGHTING DEATH WOBBLE AND THE COMPONENT FAILURES WHICH CAUSE IT, I FEEL CHRYSLER SHOULD BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE TO SOME LEVEL. I THINK THEY SHOULD BE RECOGNIZING THE PROBLEM AND THE LARGE SCALE OF IT, AND OFFERING SOME TYPE OF SOLUTION TO FIX THE ISSUE. *TR

WHILE EXITING A 55 MPH SPEED ZONE ONTO A 65MPH INTERSTATE HIGHWAY I EXPERIENCED EXTREME SHAKING IN THE FRONT END. THE JEEP ACTUALLY HOPPED ON THE ROAD FORCING ME TO PULL OVER. THIS HAS HAPPENED 4 MORE TIMES IN THE COURSE OF 1 MONTH. I TOOK IT TO THE SHOP AT MY DEALER. MY VEHICLE WAS IN THE SHOP FOR 1 WEEK IN WHICH THE TRANSMISSION WAS REPLACED. THE SAME ISSUE BEGAN HAPPENING 3 DAYS AFTER I GOT IT BACK. I RETURNED IT TO THE DEALER EXPLAINING THE ISSUE AND BEGAN RESEARCHING ON MY OWN. I CAME ACROSS MANY INSTANCES OF THE SAME THING- DEATH WOBBLE. IT HAPPENS WHEN MY JEEP HITS 60-70 MPH CAUSING ME TO HAVE TO IMMEDIATELY STOP THE VEHICLE, USUALLY IN HIGH SPEED INTERSTATE TRAFFIC CAUSING DANGER TO MYSELF AND OTHER MOTORISTS. MY JEEP IS STOCK, SO THE EXCUSE ABOUT BEING LIFTED DOES NOT APPLY TO ME. IT SEEMS CHRYSLER KNOWS ABOUT THE ISSUE AND DOES NOTHING TO RECALL THE VEHICLES. I'M BEING TOLD THE PARTS/REPAIRS ARE NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE. *TR

Mileage: 66,000

WHILE DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE, MY JEEP STEERING WHEEL AND FRONT OF JEEP WILL INTERMITTENTLY START SHAKING VIOLENTLY, CAUSING ME TO HAVE TO SLOW DOWN SUDDENLY AND PULL OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. IT'S VERY SCARY AND I AM AFRAID IT MAY CAUSE AN ACCIDENT BECAUSE IT HAPPENS SO SUDDENLY AT A HIGH SPEED. I PURCHASED MY JEEP ABOUT A YEAR AGO FROM A CHRYSLER DEALER AND WITHIN A WEEK NOTICED IT HAD A "POPPING" NOISE WHEN BACKING UP AND THEN GOING FORWARD. I HAVE TAKEN MY JEEP TO THIS CHRYSLER DEALER 3 TIMES TO HAVE THIS CHECKED OUT. THE FIRST TIME, THEY TOLD ME I NEEDED NEW BRAKES, SO I HAD NEW BRAKES INSTALLED, BUT MY JEEP CONTINUES TO MAKE THIS "POPPING" NOISE. THE LAST 2 TIMES I TOOK MY JEEP TO THIS CHRYSLER DEALER, THEY INSIST THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH MY JEEP AND THEY DO NOT HEAR THIS NOISE. NOW MY JEEP HAS HAD THESE EPISODES OF VIOLENT SHAKING AND I WONDER IF THE TWO PROBLEMS ARE CONNECTED. I HAVE SEEN REPORTS OF A "JEEP DEATH WOBBLE" AND FEEL THIS IS THE SAME THING THAT I HAVE HAD OCCUR WITH MY JEEP. IS THERE ANY KIND OF RECALL FOR THIS PROBLEM? *TR

THIS CAR HAS HAD 11 SERIOUS INCIDENTS OF WHAT IS CALLED THE "DEATH WOBBLE". THE CAR HITS A BUMP OR ROUGH EDGE ON THE FREEWAY OR HIGHWAY AND IMMEDIATELY GOES INTO AN UNCONTROLLED WOBBLE OF THE STEERING WHEEL AND THE WHEELS WIGGLE BACK AND FORTH. THIS CAN ONLY BE STOPPED BY SLOWING DOWN OR STOPPING. THE INCIDENT DESCRIBED ABOVE 1ST OCCURRED ON AUGUST 10, 2013 AT 2:00 PM ON HIGHWAY 101 IN NEWPORT, OREGON AFTER I HIT A BUMP. IT OCCURRED ON AUGUST 25, 2013 5 TIMES AT ABOUT 10:00 AM ON INTERSTATE 3 IN OREGON AFTER HITTING A BUMP OR ROUGH SECTION IN THE ROAD. IT OCCURRED 3 TIMES ON HIGHWAY 99 IN CALIFORNIA AFTER IT HIT A BUMP IN THE ROAD. FINALLY, IT OCCURRED 4 TIMES ON AUGUST 25TH. THIS CAR IS UNRELIABLE AND UNSAFE TO DRIVE ON ANY FREEWAY. THIS CAR HAS NEVER BEEN DRIVEN OFF ROAD OR MISTREATED AND HAS ONLY 62,000 MILES, MOSTLY MILES ARE FREEWAY MILES.

WHILE DRIVING OVER SPEED BUMPS OR SLOWER SPEED BUMPS I COULD FEEL A DISTINCT "CLUNK" IN THE STEERING. THE DEALERSHIP LOOKED AT IT AND SAID THEY COULD NOT FEEL THE CLUNK ANYMORE.

WHILE DRIVING MY JEEP I HAVE HIT SMALL BUMPS OR GRATES AND THE FRONT END OF MY VEHICLE HAS SHOOK VIOLENTLY. I ALMOST LOSE CONTROL OF MY VEHICLE AND HAVE TO SLOW DOWN IMMEDIATELY TO REGAIN CONTROL. I HAVE ALMOST BEEN IN ACCIDENTS BECAUSE OF THIS. THIS HAS HAPPENED THREE TIMES SINCE THE FIRST TIME. ALWAYS STARTS BECAUSE I HIT A SMALL BUMP AT AROUND 50 MILES PER HOUR. I HAVE BROUGHT MY JEEP TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THAT CAN'T SEEM TO RESOLVE THE ISSUE OR RECREATE IT. *TR ## VIN FAILED ##

2010 JEEP WRANGLER DEATH WOBBLE. STARTED AT 20K MILES. JEEP WOBBLES AT SPEEDS ABOVE 45. WOBBLES SO BAD YOU HAVE TO STOP ON A FREEWAY AND HOLD ON TIGHT TO THE STEERING WHEEL. VERY DANGEROUS. DEALER TRIED TO FIX WITH STEERING DAMPER...NO FIX. THEN CHANGED SHOCKS AND TIRES. WORKED FOR 30K. CAME BACK EVEN WORSE. NOW THEY SAY THEY HAVE NO IDEA. ITS ALL OVER THE INTERNET WHY DOESN'T CHRYSLER RECALL THESE? IT IS VERY DANGEROUS. I AM AFRAID TO DRIVE IT. WHOLE FRONT END SHAKES ESPECIALLY WHEN GOING OVER A BUMP, EVEN A SMALL BUMP. FRIGHTENING. *TR

WHEN I HIT A BUMP IN THE ROAD GOING 45 MPH THE JEEP STARTED SHAKING UNCONTROLLABLY AND NOW CONTINUES TO DO SO WHEN I HIT BUMPS ON THE PASSENGER SIDE. *TR

WHEN PERFORMING A LEFT HAND TURN WHILE ACCELERATING AWAY FROM A STOP MY AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT AND ASSOCIATED CHIME CAME ON. WHILE DRIVING IN A STRAIGHT LINE WITH THE WHEEL CENTERED THE LIGHT STAYED LOCKED IN, DURING A SWEEPING RIGHT HAND TURN THE AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT EXTINGUISHED. THIS PATTERN CONTINUED UNTIL I RETURNED HOME AND CHECKED THAT THE STEERING WHEEL POSITION WAS IN FACT THE CAUSE OF THE AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT AND ASSOCIATED CHIME. ANY STEERING WHEEL POSITION LEFT OF CENTER WOULD IMMEDIATELY CAUSE THE LIGHT AND CHIME AND ANY POSITION RIGHT OF CENTER OF WOULD EXTINGUISH THE LIGHT WITHIN 10 SECONDS. I KNEW AT THIS POINT THAT THE STEERING WHEEL CLOCK SPRING WIRING ASSEMBLY WAS FAULTY AND SCHEDULED A DEALERSHIP APPOINTMENT FOR VERIFICATION AND REPAIR. DEALERSHIP PERFORMED A TROUBLECODE CHECK AND RECEIVED DTC: B1B02-DRIVER AIRBAG SQUIB 1 CIRCUIT OPEN. DEALERSHIP FURTHER CONFIRMED BY CYCLING THE STEERING WHEEL AND CODE WENT FROM ACTIVE TO STORED. THE CLOCK SPRING WAS REPLACED AND RETESTED SIMILARLY TO MY ABOVE STEERING WHEEL POSITION CHECK AND NO MORE LIGHTS, CHIMES, OR TROUBLE CODES WERE EXPRESSED. FAULTY CLOCKSPRING RIBBON WIRE ASSEMBLIES ARE A RECURRING QUALITY AND SAFETY ISSUE WITH CHRYSLER VEHICLES AND JEEP WRANGLER JK'S SPECIFICALLY. PER THIS WEBSITE, ACTIONS HAVE BEEN TAKEN TO RECALL 2008-2012 RHD JK'S AND A CUSTOMER SATISFACTION WARRANTY EXTENSION HAS BEEN ISSUED FOR 2007 LHD JK'S OF 10 YEARS, 150000 MILES. THIS IS MOST CERTAINLY A SAFETY ISSUE AS A FAULTY CLOCK SPRING CAN RESULT IN THE DRIVER SIDE AIRBAG NOT DEPLOYING IN AN ACCIDENT IF THE PROPER CONDITIONS ARE MET, AND DEPENDING UPON THE NATURE OF THE FAULT IN THE CLOCKSPRING THE ESC SYSTEM CAN ALSO MALFUNCTION DUE TO THE LACK OF STEERING INPUT SIGNAL TO THE SYSTEM. FURTHER INVESTIGATION FOR ALL AFFECTED MAKES, MODELS, AND MODEL YEARS, MUST BE COMPLETED IN THE INTEREST OF PUBLIC SAFETY. *TR

I PURCHASED MY NEW 2010 JEEP WRANGLER SPORT UNLIMITED ON MARCH 02, 2011 WITH 4,839 MILES ON IT. THE VEHICLES MANUFACTURER WARRANTY BECAME EFFECTIVE ON MARCH 02, 2011 AND EXTENDED TO 40,839 MILES. I RETURNED THE VEHICLE FOR SERVICE FOR THE SAME FRONT END PROBLEMS (VIBRATION, PLAY IN FRONT END, ETC - THOUGH DESCRIBED SLIGHTLY DIFFERENT ON SOME WORK ORDERS) EIGHT (8) TIMES FROM OCTOBER 13, 2011 THROUGH JUNE 13, 2012. DURING THAT TIME THERE WERE FOUR (4) SERVICE ATTEMPTS TO REPAIR THE PROBLEM 10/13/11 MILEAGE 13,411 - 6/13/12 MILEAGE 23,352 - SERVICES RECOMMENDED AND PERFORMED RANGE FROM TIRE ROTATION, TIE RODS AND DAMPER REPLACED, TOE ADJUSTMENT, AND LOWER SHEARING SHAFT REPLACEMENT. 3/07/13 MILEAGE 34,829 - I BROUGHT THE VEHICLE IN FOR ROUTINE NC INSPECTION. INSPECTION PASSED. 3/09/13 AS I TRAVELED OUT OF TOWN WITH MY CHILDREN WE EXPERIENCED A FRIGHTENING AND STRESSFUL TIME. WHEN DRIVING AT HIGHWAY, OR NEAR HIGHWAY SPEEDS, AND GOING OVER A BUMP THE FRONT END WOULD BEGIN, AT RANDOM TIMES, TO HAVE SO MUCH PLAY AND THE STEERING WOULD SHAKE VIOLENTLY MAKING IT DIFFICULT TO CONTROL THE VEHICLE. THIS CAUSED ME TO HAVE TO SLOW TO THE SIDE AND PULL OFF THE ROAD. THIS REPAIR ISSUE HAS NOW ESCALATED TO THE POINT THAT IT IS A DANGEROUS SAFETY HAZARD TO MY CHILDREN AND MYSELF. SINCE THIS INCIDENT I HAVE DISCOVERED THIS A KNOWN PROBLEM WITH THE YEAR, MAKE, AND MODEL OF MY VEHICLE. BELOW YOU WILL FIND TWO LINKS TO VIDEOS DEMONSTRATING THE VIOLENT SHAKING WHICH OCCURS DUE TO THIS PROBLEM. ONE IS A PERSPECTIVE FROM OUTSIDE THE VEHICLE. THE OTHER IS FROM INSIDE THE VEHICLE. THOUGH THE GENTLEMAN IN THE VIDEO SEEMS TO ENJOY THE VIOLENT SHAKING I ASSURE YOU IT WAS SIMPLY A TERRIFYING EXPERIENCE FOR A MOTHER TRAVELING OUT OF TOWN ALONE WITH HER CHILDREN.

WHILE DRIVING AT 65 MPH, MY JEEP STARTED SHAKING UNCONTROLLABLY AND VIOLENTLY. I HAD NO CONTROL IN THE CAR, THE ONLY THING I COULD DO WAS PUSH THE BRAKES. I PULLED MY 6 SPEED JEEP INTO NEUTRAL AND STARTED SLOWING DOWN AND LETTING IT GLIDE TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. STILL SHAKING AS I AM SLOWING DOWN, THE JEEP FEELS LIKE THE WHOLE FRONT END IS GOING TO SHAKE APART. ALL CARS BEHIND ME SLAMMED ON THEIR BRAKES BECAUSE THEY SAW I HAD NO CONTROL OF MY JEEP. A STATE POLICE TROOPER FOLLOWED ME TO THE DEALERSHIP. THERE IS NO BROKEN AXLES, LOOSE TIRES, TIRE PRESSURE IS GOOD. THEY SAID THEY COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING IN THE "EXPRESS SERVICE CENTER". THIS IS A 2010 WRANGLER WITH 75,000 MILES THAT IS DRIVEN ON THE HIGHWAY DAILY FOR EDUCATIONAL PURPOSES. THERE MUST BE SOMETHING DONE ABOUT THIS "DEATH WOBBLE". *TR

THIS IS AN ONGOING PROBLEM THAT THE NATIONAL TRANSPORTATION SAFETY DEPARTMENT NEEDS TO FORCE CHRYSLER INTO A RECALL TO FIX THIS PROBLEM BEFORE ANYONE ELSE HAS AN ACCIDENT OR DIES FROM. CHRYSLER IS NOT FIXING THE PROBLEM, THEY JUST CHANGE THE PARTS OUT UNTIL YOUR WARRANTY EXPIRES, CHRYSLER SHOULD INFORM BUYERS OF THIS PROBLEM BEFORE IT IS PURCHASED.

MAIN ISSUE - DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD HIT A BUMP/UNEVEN PATCH OF ROAD AND THE CAR SHIMMERS/JERKS/WOBBLES BACK AND FORTH PROVIDING A FEELING OF LOSING CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE. HONESTLY, I HAVE NOTICED THE SHIMMERING/WOBBLING/JERKING SINCE THE FIRST BUMP I WENT OVER WITH THE JEEP WRANGLER. I THOUGHT THIS WAS NORMAL FOR JEEP AS THIS IS MY FIRST JEEP WRANGLER I HAVE OWNED. I EVEN WENT AS FAR AS TO REMOVE THE ORIGINAL TIRES (MORE OFF ROAD) AND GET ALL AROUND TIRES RECOMMENDED BY THE JEEP DEALER PER MY PRIVATE CAR MAINTENANCE SPECIALIST. THIS STILL DID NOT HELP. I HAVE THIS UNEASINESS WHEN DRIVING THE JEEP. I HAVE LEARNED TO BRACE MYSELF WHEN I NOTICE ROUGH/UNEVEN ROAD AHEAD. WHILE TRAVELING NORTHERN MICHIGAN (I-75) I HIT A BUMP IN THE ROAD (THE ROAD WAS PARTIALLY COVERED WITH SNOW), THE JEEP JERKED/SHIMMERED - I SPUN OUT OF CONTROL SAID A FEW PRAYERS AND WAS ABLE TO BRING THE JEEP BACK UNDER CONTROL WITHOUT FLIPPING. I SAT ON THE SIDE OF THE FREEWAY FOR ALMOST A HALF HOUR BEFORE I HAD THE COURAGE TO CONTINUE MY JOURNEY. MY YOUNGER ADULT CHILDREN AND HUSBAND DO NOT LIKE TO DRIVE MY JEEP BECAUSE OF THIS WOBBLE/JERKY EXPERIENCE AFTER A BUMP/EVEN ROAD. THEY DON'T FEEL SAFE. SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE TO CORRECT THIS PROBLEM, BEFORE SOMEONE IS INJURED OR KILLED. *TR
