2018 JEEP WRANGLER Steering Problems

The jeep lost power while I was driving. The lights stayed on but jeep came to a stop. I touched the key area and it started running again.

Problem Description (very important): My 2018 Jeep Wrangler experiences a severe and violent front-end shaking commonly referred to as “death wobble.” This occurs while driving at highway speeds and makes the vehicle difficult to control until I slow down significantly. The shaking feels dangerous and unpredictable and creates a serious safety risk. I transport my children in this vehicle, and this issue is frightening and unsafe for passengers and other drivers. My dealership states there is no recall, but I am aware of widespread consumer complaints, documented defects, and lawsuits involving death wobble in Jeep Wranglers, including the 2018 model year. I believe this is a known steering/suspension defect and not normal wear and tear. I am reporting this for safety reasons.

It states that our vehicle is not on the recall list for death wobble, however, when we go over a bump or over 60 mph our Jeep vibrates and shakes (feeling it in the steering). We took to have tires checked, even rebalanced and they checked stems.

Continuous engine problems Says not in park/ is in park Clicking sounds when turned off Steering wheel won’t lock Will turn over but won’t start even tho all lights come on and air All lights will turn off when brake is pressed and when foot is off brake the lights will flash and the car will beep continuously All lights in gear will be lit up orange but can’t move it

The primary component that failed is the brake caliper, which caused a dragging brake, overheating, and visible smoke after a brake pad replacement. This is a defect in a critical safety system, not routine wear and tear. The caliper failure, combined with rapid deterioration of the pads within only seven months of purchase, makes clear that the Jeep was sold to me with preexisting and undisclosed defects. The defective caliper and removed parts remain available for inspection. My safety and the safety of others were directly at risk. A dragging brake drastically reduces stopping ability, can cause sudden brake failure, and creates a fire hazard when smoke and heat build up. These risks make the vehicle unsafe for road use. In addition, there is a well-documented steering defect known as the “death wobble.” Some sources classify this under a recall, while others describe it as covered only by an extended warranty. This inconsistency has prevented me from obtaining clear assistance despite the serious safety implications. The issue has been reproduced and confirmed by a certified Jeep dealership. I have service records, dealer inspection notes, and photos documenting the condition, including metal-on-metal wear, dragging brake, and resulting smoke. The vehicle has been inspected by dealership technicians and is also under review with FCA, who have assigned a claim number. When I initially sought assistance, I was told the failures were “wear and tear.” That is inaccurate, as no reasonable consumer could cause this level of brake and steering deterioration in such a short period. I have been forced to pay out-of-pocket for defects clearly present at the time of sale, even though Carvana, SilverRock, and FCA denied responsibility. Under the Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act, consumers are protected when vehicles are sold with hidden defects, regardless of warranty status. This Jeep was sold in unsafe condition. The caliper failure and death wobble are preexisting hazards

Jeep randomly shuts off while actively driving. I have automatic JL. Screen shows to service clutch. All dash lights come on, no buss bar detected, ABS, No traction control, Airbags, park sense off, check engine, steering locks up. Engine shuts off while driving. MPH screen goes blank all electrical stops working. Connector behind stock bumper is expised to the elements causing shortage. Putting my life in danger everytime I drive

On [XXX] while driving my 2018 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited Sport (VIN: [XXX] ), the braking system failed without warning while I was approaching a stop sign on a residential road. I pressed the brake pedal and felt extreme resistance and grinding, followed by a near-total lack of braking power. I was forced to abruptly swerve into an open driveway to avoid a collision. This sudden malfunction put my life and the safety of others at serious risk, especially had it occurred on a highway or near pedestrian traffic. The affected component appears to be part of the braking system—likely the master cylinder, brake booster, or brake line integrity—but a full diagnosis is pending inspection. There were no warning lights or messages displayed on the dashboard at any time prior to or during the failure. The vehicle gave no indication that a malfunction was imminent. Immediately after the incident, I parked the vehicle and did not attempt to drive it again. As of now, the issue has not yet been formally confirmed by a dealer, but I am in the process of getting it inspected by a certified independent mechanic, and I am willing to make the vehicle and its components available for inspection upon request. I also plan to provide documentation once the evaluation is complete. I only recently purchased this Jeep from Carvana a few months ago, and it is extremely concerning that such a critical failure could occur so soon. The vehicle has two completed recalls related to steering and rear windows, but none that address braking—making this unexpected failure even more alarming. I believe this could indicate a larger pattern or potential defect that has not yet been officially acknowledged or addressed. This event was dangerous and could have resulted in a serious accident. I am requesting that this complaint be formally investigated, and I am open to cooperating fully with NHTSA, Chrysler, or any affiliated parties in reviewing the failure and addressing issue. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA)

I am filing this complaint due to a serious and recurring safety issue known as the “death wobble” on my 2018 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited JL. This defect causes violent front-end shaking at highway speeds when hitting bumps or making minor steering corrections. The issue began during the first week of ownership and has persisted through five separate service visits. Repairs have included steering damper replacements, track bar, alignments, and balancing, but the issue continues to return. A dealership technician confirmed the shaking on October 9, 2023, during a test drive at over 70 mph. The vehicle was only sent to a certified Jeep service center on the fourth visit. After researching the problem, I found this is a well-documented and widespread issue among Jeep owners — especially on Wrangler models of certain years. There are numerous forums, websites, and videos where other owners describe the exact same symptoms, often with no long-term resolution. I shared this information with the dealership to help them understand the seriousness of the issue, and only then did they investigate further. I have video evidence of the defect, technician confirmation, service records, and text messages showing dealership delays. This defect creates a major safety concern, especially with children in the car, and could easily cause an accident.

The check engine light came on in my car. I was waiting for the dealer to call me to fix it for the 3rd time. I was on my way home when every electrical option on the vehicle turned on- wipers, lights, dash lights, brake- which caused the car to brake- then it turned off and I had no brakes, the car had no steering, it accelerated and I went off the road.

The dash board stared to flash all sorts of symbols check engine light, auto start stop, sway bar disconnect unavailable, shifter problem. And then the power steering does not work, sometimes the throttle has no power, and sometimes the engine shuts off.

The steering gear box on my Jeep Wrangler has an active technical service bulletin regarding the faulty alluminum steering gear box causing wandering in the steering of the vehicle on all 2018-2020 Jeep Wranglers. This repair is a known issue by FCA as they have a service bulletin regarding the issue. However they have not recalled the defective parts and refuse to cover replacing the defective parts unless the vehicle is still under warranty, or at a substantial cost to me. When I purchased my Jeep from Westgate Jeep in Raleigh, NC in late September 2024 at 84,000 miles the TSB had not been completed by the original owner. The Jeep is lifted but was sold to the original owner in that manner. It is a Rocky Ridge package that was sold the way it still is to the original owner. My safety and the safety of my family is at risk in the vehicle because it wanders excessively in the road. The incident consisted of passing 18 wheeler driving by in the opposite direction causing the Jeep to wander excessively to the right off of the edge of the road causing near loss of control and potential roll over. The issue has been found by my certified mechanic to be related to excessive movement/flexing in the steering gear box. The mechanic drove the vehicle and also noticed the wandering steering. FCA/Jeep should not be allowed to refuse to repair such a significant known issue with vehicles that they manufactured with defective parts they should be held accountable and made to recall and repair those defective parts. There are no active warning lights on the vehicle and a recent alignment was done by a certified mechanic when the tie rod and tie rod ends, drag link and drag link ends, ball joints and steering dampener where replaced. All tires are balanced and have equal wear the steering gear box is the only component of the steering system that has not been replaced and the issue remains. Please reference Mopar T.S.B. 08-074-20 REV. B regarding the known issue. Thank you.

Vehicle loses power steering while driving and is near impossible to steer when this happens. If in a curve i'm afraid the vehicle will not respond in time and leave the roadway or cross into oncoming traffic.

I was driving about 65 MPH and was turning with the road and my Jeep started to shake violently. I just about lost control of the vehicle. I pulled over on the Interstate to check and see if I had a flat on a front tire or if the wheel was falling off of the Jeep. It was a very scary and unpleasant experience to have at 4:30 am going to work. Not sure what the problem is with the suspension or steering, but I thought for sure I was going to get in a wreck and Traffic is really heavy which would have been very bad for many drivers!

ABS malfunction. Power steering and brakes go in and out of operation due to a communication error. All lights come on dash, engine light stays on. Occurs mainly when vehicle is hot during summer or above 65mph highway driving. Safety concern as vehicle power steering is unpredictable during this time. The Drive shaft locks in park and requires manual override when lights are on, but then without intervention, all the lights go away except the engine light and it runs fine. ABS modules are on back order with no ETA because this is a recurring problem for many. Once new abs module is put it, problem can be confirmed and more details can be given by auto repair services.

My Jeep's steering is excessively loose. There is a good amount of dead space in the steering wheel that the vehicle does not respond. The vehicle wonders left to right constantly and have to continue to correct for it's action. It becomes more of a safety hazard when there is a slight wind or passing or being passed by a larger vehicle like a truck for instance. The vehicle also shifts let and right depending on road conditions, meaning cracks in the pavement or pot holes of any size. I feel very unsecure or unsafe particularly at higher speeds. Please help and thank you in advance.

I have read a lot about the "Death Wobble." It appears there has been no recall on this but I believe there have been many incidents. Almost every day that the vehicle is driven and we hit a bump in the road going between 30-45 miles the steering wheel shakes aggressively. Would you not call this a definitely a safety hazard? The second issue is the dash board reading goes blank occasionally. Unable to see the speed and or gas usage. Both issues I would say are safety issues. It appears that many Jeep owners have faced the same issues. Neither of these issues have been inspected. I don't feel that we should be responsible for the cost of the inspection. Jeep should stand behind their product.

Factory Aluminum Steering Box presents a severe safety hazard and should be immediately recalled due to its dangerous failure in cold and probably all temperatures. In low temperatures, the steering sticks and does not move freely, making normal driving extremely hazardous for both the driver and others on the road. While straight roads may not reveal the issue, attempting to turn on a curve becomes life-threatening—the wheel sticks, preventing necessary maneuvering or it darts me in another direction. Once it finally releases, it can lead to overcorrection, which is especially perilous on slick, icy, or snow-covered roads. This issue occurs without warning, at any speed, and significantly increases the risk of crashes. FCA is aware of the problem and has issued a Technical Service Bulletin 08-074-20 REV., but this is not a recall—meaning owners are left at risk. Die pretty much or risk your family dying and others or just get into that accident so the insurance companies screw you as always and you are left with nothing-those insurance adjusters don't work for we the people. This failure causes me a to have a collision daily and a run-off-road accident while traveling with my family on the interstate. The safety implications are undeniable, and action must be taken before lives are lost. This is not just a mechanical flaw—it’s a critical safety failure that demands an urgent recall. Then add in the notorious shimmy/shake onset of a death wobble. You are going the speed limit/interatate highway speeds and go over a bridge and it's over-you better pray! When driving a low speed 53mph if the vehicle hits a bump, it will start bouncing and the steering wheel shakes too much until I stop and then everything comes back to normal. That situation is very frequently and very dangerous, because it happened to me many times while driving on a highway with a heavy traffic behind me including semi trucks. If I die in my Jeep due to malfunctions FROM COMPANY my family can sue.

It is the death wobble. I took the car in once. My cars started violently shaking when I would hit 58 Miles per hour and curve to the left, or the right and shakes so uncontrollably that I would have to tap the brakes but not too hard. Is I did not want to go off the road period there were cars that were behind me. That would shoot off to every direction trying to get around me. And yes, of course it's dangerous. Not supposed to be going down the interstate. Drinking a d*** Bloody Mary anyways. I took it into 2 dealerships. There are car places around where I live. They went ahead and diagnosed it and charged me $5060 or no 70 something. To fix it and it was even worse, so I brought it back to them. They tried to balance the other tire but that did not work, and that is the point where the other mechanics came over and said, that's the death wobble, which I had never heard of. He then told me about the staring damper, which then I looked everything up and saw that you had a class action settled where you were supposed to take cars in and fix them. However, this person seems scared of their own shadow, so who knows, but I asked for the history to see if anything had been done? And you guys, Jeep or Jeep, refuse to give it to me, said I would have to call the dealership, I called the dealership, they said, oh we don't give you a copy of that. I said, well, why wouldn't you? I mean, it is my car that I'm buying from y'all and they said, yeah, sorry, we don't do that. You'll have to get like a car, fax or something. I'm like, hold on, you guys. Sure, don't want to pay for anything. Considering this whole entire thing. Is your fault? And uh, the fact that you guys asked for a Vin number in order to fix my vehicle is ridiculous because whether you had the Vin numbers stored or not, it's a 2018, and I got the d*** death wobble. Now, mine happens to be a limited edition golden eagle. And you will see in the videos. I told them it was going to end up costing them a lot mor

The vehicle will intermittently struggle to engage in 1st gear, the brake pedal gets hard, the auto stop start light will display on the dash and the esc light will display on the dash. Each issue may occur separately, not at all or they will all occur within 5 mins of driving the vehicle. I have been at a traffic light where the vehicle would not immediately engage in 1st gear and the vehicle behind me came within a few inches of rear ending my vehicle when I did not begin moving with the flow of traffic. I also have a similar experience with the auto stop start system failing while at a traffic light which caused the vehicle to stall in the intersection and I could not restart the vehicle without completely power cycling the ignition two times. The problems have been reproduced on multiple occasions throughout the past month. The vehicle has not been inspected by a 3rd party and the warning lights and alert messages that appeared for auto stop start system/ esc system did not appear until the problem occurred.

My vehicle will randomly have the check engine light come on, a service shifter light come on, and then lose the ability to steer. I have taken it to the dealership twice and told it was fixed. Now it is back at the dealership for the third time. As a result of this issue I was involved in a car accident when a van came into my lane and I was unable to avoid impact and they were able to leave the scene. This is a safety issue for not only myself and anyone in my car but also anyone on the road around me. I did not file a police report regarding the accident as my situation involves a language barrier and I was so upset I just wanted to get home and be safe. Now I am in a state of fear anytime I drive my vehicle. I did have passengers and witnesses for two different instances where our lives were put in jeopordy because of this issue. On a separate occasion we were on a busy highway lost steering and were unable to get out of first gear. If I end up in a court situation I have several witnesses that would all be willing to make statements on my behalf as their lives were also put in jeopardy. I'm very upset as this vehicle was expensive and I bought it brand new. Now I've been out of a car for weeks and am being told I may have to pay for something that is clearly an ongoing issue. I have read several forums and articles and complaints from fellow jeep owners, many the same year, who have experienced the same issue. This is horrendous! My service records are all on file with Auto Centro Caguas in Puerto Rico.

After I completed the recall on the clutch, I've noticed an alarming issue: occasionally, multiple warning lights appear on the dashboard, such as the check engine, service transmission, and brake lights. The most pressing safety concern is the complete loss of power steering. Although the car remains drivable, operating it without power steering is exceptionally hazardous. Additionally, since the car features a push-to-start system, when this issue arises, I can’t turn it off in the usual manner; I have to stall the engine to stop it. This situation has occurred multiple times, but fortunately, I’ve been either at a stop or driving at a low speed. After leaving the car off for a while, when I start it again later, the fault disappears and I can't replicate the issue.

The contact owns a 2018 Jeep Wrangler. The contact stated while driving 35 MPH, the power steering became inoperable for two seconds and then returned to normal independently. The contact stated that during the second failure, an attempt was made to start the vehicle; however, several unknown warning lights were illuminated. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, the failure recurred. The contact pulled over to the side of the road and restarted the vehicle and the power steering functionality returned. The vehicle was not taken to a dealer or independent mechanic to be diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 60,000.

Mileage: 60,000

The JEEP was taken to the dealership for the steering recall, but upon return, the same issue still exists. Once the JEEP hits EXACTLY 51 MPH (does not happen at 49), the steering wheel starts to heavily vibrate making the JEEP UNDRIVABLE and UNSAFE. Upon contacting the HW HUNTER JEEP DEALER, and explaining that the issue still exists, they provided NO HELP and said that was all they could do. Seems like them letting an UNSAFE vehicle on the road is a liability and lawsuit waiting to happen. For this reason, the JEEP in undriveable as all roads near my home are 55mph and it is unsafe to drive.

The contact owns a 2018 Jeep Wrangler. The contact stated while driving approximately 35 MPH, the ABS, Transmission, and ESC warning lights illuminated. The contact had taken the vehicle to a dealer where it was diagnosed that there were several software updates available for the engine and power train. The updates were completed, and the vehicle was repaired. The contact stated that the warning lights were illuminated. The contact had taken the vehicle back to the same dealer. The dealer diagnosed the warning lights and applied other software updates. The vehicle was repaired. The contact stated that while turning left onto a residential street, the steering wheel was difficult to turn. The contact stated that several unknown warning lights were illuminated. The contact had not taken the vehicle to a local dealer; however, the dealer was notified of the failure. The dealer informed the contact that the failure was related to the ABS module and that parts to repair the vehicle were on backorder. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not informed of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 87,000.

Mileage: 87,000

When driving a low speed, if the vehicle hits a bump, it will start bouncing and the steering wheel shakes too much until I stop and then everything comes back to normal. That situation is very frequently and very dangerous, because it happened to me many times while driving on a highway with a heavy traffic behind me, due to the fact that I have to slow dawn almost to stop to be able to control my vehicle. The dealer said that my car doesn't have extended warranty due to a type of tile (total loss) and the repair cost will be 100% out of my packet. I'm a retired person and do not have that type of money to pay for the repair.

= Customer states that when hitting a bump they have the typical jeep death wobble Conditions?= Found the vehicle to have play in all steering joints and the right front axle joint t9 have play. The vehicle has 31,000 miles on it and has never been in an accident. it started the "death wobble" Oct 2024. I traveled to Michigan, not realizing it was this bad, and it became worse over the course of our trip in November 2024. I was traveling at 70-75 mph on why and felt like it was going to fall apart. It took me slowing it down to stop the wobble. I took to a mechanic in Ionia, MI which I had a extended warranty and paid it. I was told it was fixed. They replaced Steering Tie Rod . . . Remove and Replace components as required to access and install materials and/or perform needed service. Retest and verify repair as required. Perform final road test where applicable. 68258761AE - SOCKET, Tie Rod 68258762AE - SOCKET, Tie Rod 68522992AA- SOCKET, Drag link inner 68260466AB - ADJUSTER ASSY, Steering Link 68258760AE - SOCKET, Drag link outer Front Axle. Outer Joint on "fixed" Friday, November 29, 2024. I was trying to leave to return to South Carolina on [XXX], and I went onto the interstate. I was not maybe 1/4 mile, and the "death wobble" started again. I had to get off at the next exit and go back to my Nieces house. I have to take it back to the mechanic shop on Monday, December 2, 2024. I am stuck here in Michigan, and I have a son whom I had to fly back to South Carolina to go to school. Who gets to pay for my expenses and my issues? who do I contact for all of this now that this issue is chronic.?

This vehicle is a 2018 model with 27k miles, non of it off road. Upon driving a freeway a few days ago, the vehicle went into a violent vibration/shacking motion,AKA "Death Wobble" that required immediate and dangerous driver action to keep from having a high speed (within legal limits) accident. In addition, the steering system sticking (stops and won't move) and wanders both left and right. The vehicle is dangerous to the occupants as well as other car/drivers in close proximity to this vehicle.

A shimmy in the steering wheel after hitting an irregularity on the road surface, also whenever I want to turn it does like a Squirrelly is the best way I can put it. On uneven roads, bumps, dips, etc the jeep pulls to one side or the other. Consequently the traction control light comes on and the jeep loses power!

Check power steering warning light Appeared during driving and steering became difficult Light turned off. After stopping and trying to restart vehicle steering warning light is back on and steering is nearly impossible after 2 weeks in repair shop was told it was fixed Incident has recurred 2 x times. Latest date 11/18/24

there was a recall for death wobble on steering, took it in, supposedly fixed. a month went by and wobble came back, took back to jeep, they said i needed new tires. (of course warranty was just getting ready to expire.) bought new tires, death wobble is getting worse and worse. if you hit a bump in road and your going 45mph, you have to try and stop vehicle it is shaking sooo bad. not fair i have to pay

This is a 2018 Jeep Wrangler 2018 JKU RHD and this vehicle starting to get the airbag light on and off in the dash! I brought it to a dealer to read it and they said the code is the B1B02 that means the clock spring is going out and it wasnt safe to drive it because the air bag will not deploy. Looking for all the info about it, i found out they have a recall is some Specific years but why it is not a recall in the 2018 model when it is showing up the same symptoms and problems than the recalled years?

While driving at 55 mph the brake light, service abs system, check engine light, service 4wd, service transmission, loss of power steering, and engine cooling fan ran very fast. I was lucky to pull off the road and put the vehicle in Park. The 4 Way flashers would blink erratically. Engine still running wouldn't come out of Park. I turned the vehicle off.l let it set a few minutes. I then restarted the vehicle and it shifted into gear and drove home with the check engine light on. The next day it had no check engine light.

The contact owns a 2018 Jeep Wrangler. The contact stated that while driving at speeds above 55 MPH, the vehicle experienced the "Death Wobble" causing the front end of the vehicle and the steering wheel to shake and vibrate abnormally. The cause of the failure was not yet determined. The local dealer was not contacted. The manufacturer was contacted regarding the failure, but no assistance was offered. The contact was informed that the vehicle was not included in an undisclosed Customer Satisfaction Program linked to the failure. The failure mileage was unknown.

The contact owns a 2018 Jeep Wrangler. The contact stated while driving over a significantly bumpy road surface and exceeding 50 MPH, the vehicle experienced the death wobble. The contact stated that the front end of the vehicle and the steering wheel shuddered violently. The contact released the accelerator pedal and the vehicle responded as needed at slow speeds. The vehicle was taken to the dealer, where it was diagnosed that the steering dampener had failed and needed to be replaced. The contact stated that the dealer replaced the steering dampener several times under warranty; however, the failure progressively worsened and occurred while driving over minor bumps. The vehicle was taken to a second dealer, Northland Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram (14100 Eight Mile W, Oak Park, MI 48237); where it was diagnosed that the traction bar needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure, but no assistance was provided. The failure mileage was unknown.

After starting the Jeep Wrangler it will not shift into drive and it says shifter needs service, then ABS needs service start stop needs service, it keeps flashing these warnings. It can sit for a hour or day then becomes driveable, took to local mechanic he says it's a Jeep dealer problem (had several people with this problem) they did repairs, but call them and they say never heard of this problem. It's a 2018 Jeep Wrangler.

Since the purchase in 2018, the radio screen stays black for several minutes after starting. Dealer says nothing is wrong but replaced it once. Death wobble is back after recall of steering dampener.

1. The power steering, gauge cluster, multifunction display, wipers, door locks, ignition on/off, blinker and most other electronic aspects fail or operate without command. 2. The speedometer does not show speed, power steering fails entirely or intermittent including in turns, turn signals fail to indicate, traction control shows failure, abs shows failure, 4wd shows failure, airbags show failure. Vehicle turns off while on highway due to fuel sensor indicating empty even though the car is filled with at least half a tank. 3. Yes, multiple times, Demontrond Jeep Conroe, Tx 4. Yes by Demontrond Jeep Conroe, Tx 5. All warning lights illuminate at time of failures. No lights were observed before initial failure. Failures began August of 2023.

Service Shifter indicator comes on and check engine light comes on. All electronics go crazy and power steering is completely lost.

I have been having electrical problems with my jeep for a couple of months. I took it in to my jeep dealer that found over fifty problem codes. They cleared the codes and drove it for 180 miles over two weeks and could not get anything to duplicate. Some codes- service shifter, abs not communicating, engine light, no speedometer, sway bar service, service 4 wheel drive, cruise control off, remote start off, and more. They had me take it home and let them know if it continues. It did so I took it to a different mechanic and he came up with 72 codes and he couldn’t track any of them to a source. So I picked it up today and on the way home on the interstate curved overpass going 65 it suddenly veered to the right at the retaining wall. The power steering quite. It was all I could do to keep it from hitting the wall. If it would of been my wife driving she would of wrecked. I was almost home and was able to muscle it home barley able to turn into the drive way. After a while I went back outside and started it and the power steering worked just fine.

The contact owns a 2018 Jeep Wrangler. The contact stated that while driving at various speeds, and driving over a bumpy road surface, the vehicle started wobbling. No warning lights were illuminated. The vehicle was taken to a local dealer where the failure was diagnosed with steering damper failure. The contact was informed that the steering damper needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired and remained at the dealer due to parts not being available. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure; however, no assistance was provided. The contact related the failure with Customer Satisfaction Notification Program: V41 Steering Damper. The failure mileage was 66,000.

Several electrical issues, vehicle issues tying back to the CAN BUSS. The vehicle throws several codes and several components quit working. I lost powering steering at 80 M.P.H and had to fight the vehicle not to wreck out. Then the power steering comes back to function again almost causing me to wreck out. Traction control also stops working when this issue occurs, which is also incredibly dangerous. The vehicle then starts jerking and becoming unresponsive. New batteries, changed Can Buss connectors and no solution. There are hundreds of reported issues with this on the forums. Chrysler and Fiat should be held responsible. These issues are going to be the cause of someone's death. Just because this incident did not involve a "crash, fire or death" does not mean the next will not.

Track bar bracket separating from frame. Coolant leaking into engine. This has been going on for about a year since we bought it. Dealer just says there’s nothing wrong with it. But we have been taking it to mechanics since we got it.

Every dash warning lights come on, radio cuts off, steering loss occurs, have to fight steering to get pulled over, turn it off and back on, sometimes resets but not always. Issue happens at random but the last time it occurred around a curve, nearly went off the road because of the steering loss. Had all the wires and grounds cleaned & checked, all batteries are good, alternator is good, all relays are good.

my vehicle has extremely bad death wobble, only 55 thousand miles on it. its a extreme safty hazard ! i just had my tires rotated and balanced and the problem is not any better ! once i hit 65 mph its shakes uncontrollably and i have to slow down to 40mph to get it to stop! that is extremely dangersous on a highway to be driving like this ! it has been like this since i got my car at 33,000 miles in august 2021

Driving Jeep Wrangler Unlimited at posted speed of 65 mph when I hit a rough spot in the road or a seam in the pavement, or a pothole the front wheels jerk back and forth violently until I slow down to 30 mph or less and then continue driving. This is known as the Jeep "Death Wobble" the dealers know about it, it's on YOUTube many times, it is very dangerous because you have no control of the vehicle. The dealer replaced the steering stabilizer on a recall notice, but my Jeep still has the same problem.

The Wrangler will shift out of gear and into neutral and steering become very hard and difficult to maneuver while accelerating from a stopped position and at times at highway speed. On the highway one can coast to the side of the road and shut off engine and restart and move again. This can also be done at an intersection but big safety concerns when pulling onto a highway with traffic, Multiple check lights will come on including check engine, stability control and service shifter. The Jeep has been taken to the dearer for repair to no resolve. Codes are cleared and problem persists. Began at about 70k miles and has persisted since.

It's been characterized as the "death wobble." When I approach speeds of 60 mph or more and hit a bump in the road, the steering and front end commences to severely vibrate uncontrollably, lasting up to several seconds. This problem is well documented and pervasive. There needs to be a nationwide recall before there are resulting accidents and fatalities.

Cannot drive over 65 mph without Jeep shaking uncontrollably. This is not a problem with just me but 100’s if not 1000’s of others. JEEP NEEDS TO FIX THE PROBLEM!!!

Unknown-APPARENTLY THIS IS AN ON GOING WRANGLER ISSUE BUT WAS NEVER recalled AND I SEE NO COMMENTS. I see all over the forums that this is a problem and it is driving me insane coming from the left front wheel well area not only during breaking, but both breaking and slowing down no foot on gas or break. There is a very large, creaking, loud, creaking noise, coming out of that area. It also makes the steering wheel bobble, which I think is causing what everybody is saying, the death wobble. I’ve taken it to Jeep . I have done multiple car washes. I’ve tried everything they are telling me that there’s nothing wrong with it but you can clearly hear that sound and it goes creek creek creek, creek, creek, creek, creek, over and over and over again until the car stopped, and there is also a loud grinding noise when you start the vehicle as well.

The steering wheel locks while driving. There seem to be no specific circumstances that cause it. There are forums with other Jeep owners having the same issue. It is definitely a safety concern and should be a recall. The recall that was done did not fix the issue. Dealer and Jeep do not care and will not replace the steering components which Jeep has done before. They can’t duplicate it driving it only 42 miles. The problem is you never know when it is going to lock. The last incident happened on 1/16/2024 but it happened 3 other times in the last few months before this last time. It has been at the dealer since 1/16/2024

Has a severe wabble in the front end at 70 MPH to about 73 mph.

Death wobble when hitting a bump over 50 mph. Only 31K miles but out of warranty. Dealer repalced track bar, but it didn't reslove the problem. Waiting on a dampener replacement. Both I hve had to pay for.

Customer Satisfaction Notification [XXX] Steering Damper The 2018 Jeep Wrangler is experiencing what many are calling "The Death Wobble" due to the fact that when driving at speeds exceeding 50 MPH or so, the vehicles steering system begins to shake uncontrollably. We purchased the vehicle for my son preowned on May 4, 2023 and at that time it seemed to be working fine. However, a couple of months later when I was teaching my son how to drive the shake started and its gotten progressively worst ever since. At first we thought it needed an alignment but that didn't help much. We then took it in for another alignment at Firestone where they reported the wobble and advised me that many Jeeps of that year were being recalled for the Steering Damper issue. I called the FCA Service number (1-800-853-1403) and opened case number [XXX]. I was told that I must take the vehicle to a Jeep Service Center which I did immediately that same day. The Jeep Dealership confirmed the issue and its severity, advising me to call the recall center again. Today when I called FCA again they refused to let me speak to a manager and told me the case had been closed. They refused to help me with this issue based on a technicality. It seems our Jeep is a JK Unlimited and they recalled the JL of that same year (2018-2019). The death wobble looks and feels terrifying because you can lose control of your vehicle. My son is a new driver so this is even more worrisome to me. I've read that many accidents have already occurred due to this issue. However, no one at the FCA is helping me with this widely known issue and I do not know what to do. We simply can not afford the $4,200 bill to fix it and by driving it I am putting the driver and other innocent bystanders in danger as well. Please advise on what I can do next. Thank you for your time and consideration. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

When going over a bump in the road at speeds above 35 mph the front end shakes the steering wheel and it feels like the front end is jumping up and down and is hard to control. I have spent over 1k in parts and labor including a new stabilizer shock, drag link, tie rod ends and more. It still does it even after these repairs. The front end has been aligned and tires and wheels balanced. The vehicle is dangerous to drive and there does not seem to be a fix for it. FCA said replacing the steering stabilizer would fix it but had no effect. The cause has been labeled unable to determine. I habe had it at two different shops and a lotnof suspension/steering pieces replaced.

I was driving my Jeep Rubicon 2 door with manual transmission 32,000 miles out of town which I don’t normally don’t due because the steering is sloppy. I have spoken with Jeep Cares about the issue multiple times it’s been this way since I got it with 14,000 miles. It feels dangerous to bring it up to 65mph. The other day I got a death wobble after hitting a small bump in the road in it. I am a combat veteran with two tours one in Afghanistan and one in Iraq. Let’s just say I have PTSD from driving this thing. I can’t believe someone hasn’t been killed yet. The NHTSA needs to do more on this issue. The complaints are real and this needs to be addressed. I want to sell it but can’t put this out there to be resold and possibly kill someone. I guess I’m back to Sunday drives in it in and around town. Jeep needs to fix this issue! NHTSA you need to hold them accountable

Power steering has been locking up at higher speeds above 40 mph. When slowing down to 30 mph the power steering operates again. You can feel the steering tighten up while driving and makes very difficult to change lanes, much less do a full turn. When the power steering kicks back in causes you to overcompensate steering. Almost had a head on collision on street. Also almost drove off of freeway overpass. Dealer has confirmed issue. They have had my automobile for over 3 months with no solution. Numerous posts have been made on Jeep Wrangler forums about same issue. Seems to be exclusive to JL. I only had vehicle for 3 weeks. Issue started in 1st week of ownership. Progressively got worse. Dealer replaced gear box, power steering pump, power steering lines, rebooted software, and replaced center of steering wheel as well. None of these repairs have worked. Concerned Stellantis is not taking this issue seriously and don't want to see anyone hurt. I just want a safe automobile to drive. No warning lights have been gone off.

The vehicle experiences a sudden and dramatic steering wheel shacking with intense vibration and loss of steering control. Seems to mostly happen at speeds above 40 miles per hour when making a turn or after hitting a road imperfection. The dealership has informed that his is related to the “Customer Satisfaction Notification V41 Steering Damper” [XXX] ) and that it should be brought in for service. The issue is that I have attempted to schedule said service over the last few months, however the dealers tell me they are out of stock for the parts needed and can’t use aftermarket part to repair. (The date of incident is a placeholder, this is an ongoing issue) Given that this has been identified as a safety issue, that can cause loss of vehicle control endangering the safety of its occupants and others on the road, NHTSA should pressure Stellantis/FCA (Vehicle Manufacturer) to find a quicker and permanent solution to this problem. Perhaps to include reimbursement for parts and labor outside their dealerships. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

Jeep dash warning lights will randomly all come on at once. This includes service shifter, service airbags, service braking system, ABS warning, cruise control disabled and many others. When it does this, which is daily, the power steering goes out completely at highway speeds and sometimes curves. This has caused me to nearly hit other drivers head on with my family in the vehicle with me. It has left me stranded many times by not recognizing the key fobs and locking the transmission in park at stop lights. I just bought the vehicle, with 64000 miles on it, in October as my primary transportation and I am afraid to drive it. This has caused me severe hardship and endangered mine and my family's life on several occasions. This problem is extremely common with my model year, as seen on several online forums and Jeep has refused to acknowledge the problem or recall the vehicles. It was purchased from a Jeep dealer, Tim Short of Middlesboro Ky. I can understand wear and tear on vehicles, but this has been an issue with 2018 Jeep Rubicons for years. If this problem goes uncorrected, many people WILL die as a result of this issue. Autos are the only thing I know of that, if defective, cannot be returned for a full refund. Something should be done, since I have an 800 dollar monthly payment and nothing to show for it. Thank you for any help you may provide.

I own a 2018 Jeep JL Rubicon Wrangler. My complaint is the steering issue that NHTSA already is aware of and has a TSB issued on this particular malfunction. After spending a substantial amount of money for such vehicle, and there being a major issue with the aluminum steering box, I feel this should be an actual recall Jeep should make right for all of their loyal customers. Every forum I read about this steering issue, it is the same complaints, that Jeep should be responsible for replacing the Aluminum box with the steel steering box they have already upgraded to after 2020, because they knew it was an issue. My steering is very sloppy, I have already had a mechanic try to tighten the steering box and said it cannot be tightened again, and next time it needs to be replaced. I should not have to spend almost $1200 for an issue that is not my fault nor is it normal wear and tear. I feel unsafe in my vehicle no matter what speed I am going. It is all over the road and I am surprised a police officer has not pulled me over thinking I am driving drunk because the steering makes the vehicle sway from one side of the lane to the other and has to be corrected all the time. My fear is, one day I will not be able to control the steering because something will let loose and cause me to vere off the road and hit an obstruction, or worse, hit somebody else. This is not covered under warranty once the vehicle hits a certain number of miles, which I am over and many other people are too. Please take this matter serious and look further into it to see how bad this issue really is. It is not safe for all these Jeep Wranglers to be on the road with faulty steering boxes, which is a major part of the drive system in a vehicle. I don't have any children, but I can imagine the many of people who do drive these vehicles and has children in the cars with them on a daily basis, and has no clue there is a major issue going on with their steering. Thank you

Vehicle started rattling uncontrollably on Interstate 95 north, Just north of Richmond Hill, Georgia. We had to pull over and we inspected the jeep for damage. No noticeable damage and we turned around and went home and switch cars. We read that this could be the aluminum steering box or the Jeep rattle. We feel these are known defects that Jeep should be responsible.

Have multiple experiences of steering wobbling and jeep is not in control causing frightening situation. Few times jeep departed lane and caused stress to both me/my wife and nearby drivers. Is there anything someone can check this issue and make Jeep accountable if they have problem and let us know what to do

2018 jeep wrangler unlimited sport intermittently looses power steering while in motion at high speed causing the inability ( lack of driver control) to react to road conditions. Multiple alert lights flash including ABS power steering off, gear shifter off. This has happened multiple times during highway driving as well as on city roads. It is available for inspection upon request. Chrysler, Dodge, jeep, ram, fiat of Santa Barbara denies ability to detect or repair the problem. According to the jeep forum, this appears to be an ongoing issue on the 2011-2018 models. [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

On several occasions, within the past year to year and a half, and when periodically driving my 2018 Jeep Wrangler across any sort of rough patch on the road, I would experience a severe and sudden shaking of the steering wheel along with very strong vibrations coming from the entire front end of the vehicle.......unfortunately however, I do not have any confirmation of such from any independent repair facility, nor has any independent inspection taken place, and without any warning ever from any interior "idiot" light, lamp, and/or the like. The recall notice I received earlier this year indicated that this phenomenon was the result of a failing steering damper. I subsequently submitted a purchase receipt along with a proof of payment for a new damper which I then self-installed. Now the "customer care" people @cac.stellantis.com won't reimburse me for the part because I did not have an independent repair facility install this very simple part to replace. Never did I receive any notification, nor was any information ever made privy to me, that independent installation was an absolute requirement for part reimbursement. Can you please help me reason with these people? Thank you.

The contact owns a 2018 Jeep Wrangler. The contact stated that while driving approximately 70 MPH, the vehicle drove onto a bridge and suddenly began to wobble and vibrate. After reducing speed the driver was able the regain control of the vehicle. The failure continued to occur anytime the vehicle drove over a bump in the road while traveling at highway speeds. The vehicle was taken to the local dealer who diagnosed that the steering dampener needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not yet repaired. The manufacturer was not yet contacted. The failure mileage was 30,844.

Occasionally, the vehicle's front wheels bounce out of control at normal and high-speed. It appears to happen on the right front.

On occasion while driving several dashboard error lights will go on. These include ABS, Traction Control, electronic stability control, air bag and brake light. When these lights come on the power steering is typically lost and making it extremely difficult to steer the Jeep. It takes everything my wife to turn the steering wheel and get off the road. The brakes also tend to be applied which further makes it difficult to turn as the vehicle is slowed down. This issue not only endangers the driver and passengers in my vehicle but also those around me due to the inability to properly control my vehicle. I have had the vehicle at the dealers service center and they are not sure what the issue is. They have been able to reproduce but are still trying to discover root cause. This seems to be a widespread problem as both my 2018 Jeep Wrangler and 2020 Jeep Gladiator have the identical issues. Seems like a long shot that both of my vehicles would have the same issue at the same time if it wasn't a common issue. When Googling the problem, I find a lot of articles and video's but no solid cause.

2018 Jeep Wrangler. Driving at 30-35 MPH, the ABS warning light, the check engine warning light, the traction control warning light, service, the four-wheel-drive, and other unknown warn lights are illuminated. The odometer became inoperable. The vehicle lost power steering functionality and shifted into Accessory Mode. I was able to veer to the side of the road. . Additionally, the vehicle failed to shut off as needed. The vehicle remained in Accessory Mode for 15 minutes and restarted independently. The failure has been reoccurring. The vehicle was taken several times to the Jeep dealer; the dealer was able to duplicate the failure. The vehicle was not diagnosed nor repaired because I can’t get an appointment for over two months. The failure mileage was approximately 45000.

when traveling highway speeds at ~55 MPH if the car hits a pot hole or bump in the road the steering pulls left and right aggressively and will not cease until the car is stopped. this is very dangerous at high speeds, as the car is vibrating so badly control of the car is very difficult. The car has been inspected by the dealership and we were informed they could only make adjustments based on manufacture recommendations, which included alignment and tire balancing, and the car was returned to us in the same condition. The steering damper was replaced by another service center at our own costs and the problem persists. The dealership suggested "selling the car" as they are unable to resolve the problem. The problem continues to persist which is a great concern, that it can not be resolved or corrected.

The power steering with no warning, just quits, working, get warning signs that the ABS is not working, included with the traction control.

Vehicle starts throwing codes and power steering quits working...

This vehicle at around 65 miles an hour and hit a bump in the road It will start a death wobble, shaking the steering wheel and vehicle uncontrollably out of your hand once you slow down you can get it back under control and continue on I have had this vehicle at two dealers and all they wanna do is change the steering damper. This has not corrected the problem and basically now I have a vehicle I can no longer drive safely.

Experienced what people are calling the "death wobble"

After several warning lights appeared, the power steering stopped working while I was driving the car on the highway.

ALL KINDS OF CODES CAME ON JEEP LOCKED UP COULDNT STEER ALMOST WRECKED. HAD TO TOLL NOW DEALERSHIP SAYS ITS THE ENGINE AFTER SAYING IT WAS THE STARTER

Recurring issue with my Jeep where seemingly every light on the dash, as well as the blind spot detectors, illuminates. The lights are accompanies by warning messages that indicate that electronic stability control and parking sense are unavailable. ABS lights, Traction Control, stability control, the brake light, and prompts to service 4WD are present. The impact varies based on whether or not the car is in motion. When it is not, as in the case of a cold start, the transmission is locked in Park. When the car is in motion, power steering intermittently goes out. If you pull over and put the vehicle in park while the lights are illuminated (i.e. if they don't clear), the car will get stuck in park until the lights clear. I have had the vehicle towed to the Jeep dealership in Natick, MA twice and, while they've charged me nothing, they've been unable to help due to the issue clearing and a lack of persistent diagnostic logs. Aside from the inconvenience, the sudden loss of power steering presents a safety issue. This has been going on for months, though the safety concern with steering only presented yesterday.

Vehicle has been experiencing electrical failure that dealers have been ,so far, unable to diagnose..when the electrical failure occurs we experience a loss of steering.

While driving vehicle will randomly have multiple warning lights on display suddenly appear (ABS, check engine, stability control, traction control, etc.) and speedometer would either go to 0 or read blank. In some instances power steering also cut out causing vehicle to swerve or jerk without warning. Spouse was scared to drive it when this happened and pulled over to have it towed. Did not want to have the vehicle suddenly swerve or lose control and hit cross traffic or pedestrian on side walk. This issue would then suddenly resolve itself and return to normal state. On some occasions, when vehicle was started, it would not shift out of park at first, but then would correct itself and allow it to be shifted out of park and driven. When check engine light was active, had codes checked and none were active, only stored. Indicated ABS sensor or ABS module errors. Was able to have Chrysler Dealer check into and after 5 days of troubleshooting, they worked with Chrysler Engineering to determine that there was a star CAN connector that was malfunctioning. Installed part 68321746AA for $84 and labor of $527 to resolve issue.

While operating the vehicle, I lost Power Steering, Stability Control, Anti-Lock Brakes and when I was able to stop, the transmission was put into park and I was unable to shift gears. Dealership informed me that this is a known issue related to the Can Bus Connector located behind the glove compartment, which apparently controls all of the safety systems. There were multiple indicators lit on the dashboard along with a check engine light. Dealership is replacing the connector.

I get the "death wobble" if I hit even a small bump on a smooth highway at speeds above 50 mph. The dealer says this is normal and nothing to worry about, which is crazy. The vehicle has just over 40,000 miles and has been maintained in full compliance with the manufacturer's warranty. The dealer said they could try replacing the steering damper but that it wasn't likely that it would fix the issue, again saying it's a normal condition with this vehicle. The wobble is extremely dangerous in the rain or any kind of slick road, pretty in heavy traffic. These vehicles need to be recalled so this can be fixed.

Vehicle shakes violently on Highway at about 65mph. Has happened multiple times.

excessive play/slop in steering and death wobble at highway speeds

Electrical going haywire. While in drive it just wouldn’t do anything the gear shift “D” was blinking so I rolled to a safe place (thank god I was not on the freeway) turned it off then back on again apparently this is now a known problem not only for 2018 some were 2019 & 2020…… please investigate

When the vehicle hits a bump at highway speeds, the steering begins to shake violently until the vehicle speed is lowered to below 50 mph +/- 5 mph. I have hear this being referred to as the Jeep death wobble. It will cost a small fortune to have the tie-rods and bushings replaced by the dealer and I've heard that may not fix the problem. This is very scary when driving at 70 mph on the highway and causes safety issues when you have to quickly reduce speed to get the issue to stop. Please get Jeep to fix this very common problem with their vehicles.

For the last year on several occasions the power steering locks up and I am unable to control the vehicle. The lights on my dash start flickering and the vehicle starts stuttering like it is out of gas. It seems like an electrical issue where the vehicle is getting mixed signals so the power steering locks up. On 2 occasions while in motion I tried to turn off the road causing the vehicle to stall into oncoming traffic. My jeep has been at the dealership at least 4 times for the same issue and I have had 3 active cases through Chrysler. This happened again a few days ago and the Jeep is currently at the dealership. This is a real concern, and I’m scared for my safety while driving. This is an issue that happens at random times and then the vehicle returns to normal function.

I'll be driving the jeep it's a 2018 rubicon jl and all of a sudden all the dash lights come on and if I stop the vehicle the D on the shifter will keep flashing and the jeep.wont move have taken into same dealership 7 times and it's continues to do the same thing they've changed abs module cleaned off grounds checked all plugs and connections and they keep saying it's fine. It's currently at the dealership for the same issue. It's been over a year of going to the dealership. Also one time.they told me it's ready came to pick it.up and it wouldn't go into drive.

2018 Jeep Wrangler (JL) Sahara Safety features all disable with this issue: Power steering (this could happen on the highway) Stability (STC), Antilock Braking, Blind spot, etc. While driving their appears to be an electrical short. The steering wheel locks up and all lights on dashboard come on. Several error messages "Auto Park Disabled", "Speed Control Messaging Unavailable", "Service Antilock Brake System", "Service Transmission Continue in DRIVE. Do Not Shift or Turn Off Engine" - to name a few. Dealers turn me way with simple computer reboot solutions only for issue to reoccur. Issue presents itself intermittently. Dealer has regularly turned me away for being unable to replicate in non driving conditions.

Car started shaking uncontrollable after driving 45 mph over a small pothole. Carmax (ca care) replaced steering damper but steering wheel stills vibrates when driving over 45 mph.

My husband was driving down the road and the trac bar bracket arm separated from the weld causing the steering wheel to move freely and made him feel like the jeep was.falling apart.

At 60 miles an hour if you hit a bump jeeps starts the death wobble til you slow to 45 miles an hour. Jeep has claimed recall was completed 1/14/20 at 4840 miles, we purchased used and has 22041 miles now and same issue. Their alleged fix is not fixed. I spoke with Chrysler about this and they stated I must pay for diagnostic and then they would maybe do something.

Service start stop warning light comes on then service traction control then all dash warning lights come on then you lose power steering This all happens in seconds

The contact owns a 2018 Jeep Wrangler. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed over a pothole, the steering wheel shuddered and vibrated violently. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic, who diagnosed that the failure was related to NHTSA Campaign Number: 18V343000 (Steering). The dealer and the manufacturer were not made aware of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was unknown.

Displays, "Service Shifter". Often followed by many, mostly random warnings, gauges fluctuate wildly, and disabled stop/start, traction and stability control; and sometimes loses power steering, and stalls and won't restart. The stereo volume, wipers, and cabin fan speed also can fluctuate wildly; worst case. This issue first appeared after going through a puddle, and seems to be exacerbated by high EMF areas; this is only corollary. This vehicle has never been used roughly or off road. The obvious dangers are, spontaneous maniacal warnings are a significant distraction to driving; if stop/start is not disabled vehicle will not start after stop at intersection, causing disruption to traffic; if power steering randomly stops working, which occurs while stopped or driving, the vehicle is nearly impossible to drive, and can only practically be driven by a strongman athlete. The coup de grâce where everything goes berserk, is usually when parked and attempting to reset the condition. The problem has not been reproduced by a dealer or service center; I have spent days inspecting grounds, harnesses, and inspecting, cleaning and replacing connectors. There's also a long list of mostly random codes for nearly everything, including the persistent lost communication with TCM. Up to October 2022 and 66,000 miles the only warnings or codes were for, wheel sensor (rep under warrantee), and "Small Leak In Vapor Recovery System" (leaky gas cap). A month+ after the warrantee expired, at about 66,000 mi, the vehicle began to generate random warnings and codes, and became unbearable (and dangerous) to drive. My observations and inspections and limited testing (haven't probed system circuits directly) lead to an assertion that the problem is system wide; many wildly various, mostly non repeatable, codes are recorded, systems that shut down are wildly various and not always repeatable; like there's nothing specifically or consistently wrong-but everything is failing. 5V reg in TCM?

Steering wheel shakes horribly. I feel every bump in the streets. Sometimes it feels as if I am about to lose control of my truck due to the lack of control. I have replaced the suspension, I have replaced the lower control arm, the ball joints twice and the same thing keeps happening.

About a year ago, my vehicle began experiencing the know defect of death wobble - at highway speeds the car begins to shake uncontrollably and feels like it may flip. About a year ago, Lafontaine Jeep in Lansing MI replaced the steering stabilizer as part of the recall. The problem is occurring again. I have had the vehicle back to Lafontaine Jeep in Lansing MI which they said the replacement of the steering stabilizer would be covered under the 2 year part warranty however Lafontaine can't get the part in and has no estimate when the part will be available. I spoke with Myah at FCA Customer Car and she said there are no parts available as well, no eta for when the parts will be available, and that there is no help available. I'm confident that new Jeeps are being manufactured with this part while my family is driving in a car with the death wobble.

THIS IS THE 4TH TIME I AM EXPERIENCING THE DEATH WOBBLE ON THIS VEHICLE. I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE USED IN 2020. ITS A JEEP WRANGLER JK 2018. I NEVER NEW THERE WERE THE POSSIBILITY THAT THIS VEHICLE WILL START GOING OUT OF CONTROL AT ANY MOMENT. 1. I EXPERIENCED IT ON THE 10 FRWY WEST AT 65MPH. THEN 6 MONTHS LATER, COMING DOWN ON ICY ROAD ON HWY 2 AT NIGHT AT 35MPH IN DEC 2022. THEN AGAIN IN SANTA BARBARA IN JAN 2023 ON THE MAIN FRWY AT 60 MPH. THEN AGAIN TODAY IN FEB 2023 ON LINCOLN BLVD ON THE WAY TO LAX AT 30MPH.

Driving on highway at 75MPH, chime followed by all warning lights. Speedometer falls to zero and a series of system failures scrolls through on message board. While taking the exit ramp, power steering fails halfway through the loop. Speedometer returns to normal momentarily, then jumps back and forth until destination. Power steering does not return.

The contact owns a 2018 Jeep Wrangler. The contact stated while turning out of a driveway, the steering wheel became stiff. There was no warning light illuminated. The vehicle was taken to the dealer but no cause for the failure was found. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was contacted, and a case was filed. The failure mileage was 200.

Mileage: 200

On August 3,2022. I was driving on the city street crossing the railroad track on 40 speed zone. As soon as it passed, the jeep starts shaking for a minute or so then it stopped. So I thought it was weird but I though it might have been just the railroad on October 22, My sis and are on the freeway, about to merge to the left lane to a different freeway, I felt the jeep was hitting a pump. Then immediately the jeep starts wobbling and shaking that I wasn't able to hold on the steering wheel. I was soo scare that I'm going to hit the other cars and cause accidents. I took the foot off the gas paddle , just let it be while I'm still holding the wheel. Trying to move to the right lane , it was just impossible. The jeep was like jumping around. The wheel was so stiff just cannot move. Finally after awhile the wobbling stopped. I slowly move the jeep to the right lane and drive to the nearest exit. Then I called the dealership right away and told them what happened. Will get back to you soon, that was the answer I got each time I called that day. Which I had called at least 4 times. Next day my friend told me to take this dependable car dealer shop, it has lots of good review and highly recommended. Left the jeep there for couple of days> It was tested with high speed with high bumps. No problem was found. Since then I tried to avoid the freeway, I got nervous driving on the freeway with these bad experience Nov13,22 meeting a friend because of the distance I have to get on the freeway. I was more conscious, I'm holding steering wheels with both hands. after 7 to 8 miles , sure enough the wobbling starts but since i have both hands holding it , I was as frightened as the precious time. After the wobbling stopped, I drove slowly to the destination. With all these scarcely experience. Every time I drive , I'm really nervous. Finally i took it to the dealership. It was diagnosis the steering damper. Unfortunately, it was back order till march or April this year. So,

The contact owns a 2018 Jeep Wrangler. The contact stated while driving approximately 70 MPH, the steering wheel started shaking and vibrating violently. The contact stated that the entire vehicle had begun to shake violently. The contact stated no warning light was illuminated. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic where it was diagnosed and determined that the vehicle needed the steering dampers to be replaced. The mechanic stated that the failure was related to Manufacturer Service Campaign: V41. The vehicle had not been repaired. The manufacturer had not been informed of the failure. The failure mileage was 51,409.

Mileage: 51,409

Steering stabilizer defective, causes severe wobble when you his any type of bump (like a bridge seam) when traveling over 30mph. Wobble makes the car uncontrollable and only goes away if you slow down to under 30mph. This makes the vehicle unsafe to drive on anything except city streets. The wobble shook the vehicle enough to cause secondary problems with the alternator and suspension/bearings.

The contact leased a 2018 Jeep Wrangler. The contact stated while driving approximately 60-70 MPH, the vehicle experienced death wobble. While riding over a bump in the roadway, the vehicle vibrated and shook abnormally. The contact was able to pull over. There was no warning light illuminated. The vehicle was taken to the dealer however, the mechanic was unable to duplicate the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was contacted and referred the contact to another dealer. The failure mileage was approximately 17,000.

Mileage: 17,000

I just want reimbursement please. INFORMATION Redacted PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).

death wobble at 70MPH Steering dampener had been replaced by Jeep a couple of years ago. Death wobble is back. this must be addressed

This vehicle is not safe due to the "death wobble". My 2018 Jeep Wrangler with only 36,000 miles has become unsafe to drive. Anytime it's driven over 30 mph there is an almost uncontrollable, violent shaking that occurs. What is being done about this? Is it going to take serious injury or death to happen for this to be recalled?

As I was driving, the ABS failed then multiple warning lights displayed and the power steering failed completely. Initially, I could not get the car to turn off.

I purchased my 2018 Jeep Wrangler 4 door Saharah Unlimited summer of 2022. The vehicle had less than 10k miles on it when I purchased the vehicle. Vehicle runs really well and alignment seems to be perfect. But occasionally at freeway speeds, usually anytime above 40mph. If I hit a bum (even road reflectors), either on a straight road or in a turn. I'll get a really violent shaking. I can get the shaking to stop by slowing down and applying gentle braking with reducing speed. Checked all the suspension connections and seemed tight. But again at speeds usually above 40mph, if I hit a bump or in a tight turn the violent shaking will occur. I've put less than 5k on the vehicle since purchase and the problem still exists. The vehicle is stock, stock tires, and never been offroad. I have changed out the steering dampener and track bar (heard most common problem). But still have this death wobble. Were nervous to take the vehicle on any long road trips with this issue. I saw online possible issues with possible weak welds for the steering mounts (track bar). We really love our Jeep, but not trust taking any long trips out side of where we live.

My car steering started shaking and rattling when I would accelerate above 30 mph. I felt like I was losing control of my car. Upon taking it to a jeep dealership for inspection, they said that my steering dampener needs to be replaced. There’s also a nationwide shortage of this part and so the waiting list could take over two months plus time to get the replaced part. It’s like several jeeps are experiencing this and it’s unsafe conditions to drive under there needs to be a recall.

when going over rough road or bumps, potholes etc there is a loud noise under the front of the Jeep. Steering is effect at times by shaking. Upon inspection by mechanic was told the tie rods were the culprit and would need to be replaced. Was also told that these parts are not lasting long on the newer Jeeps. 2018 Jeep Wrangler JK Sport with 36000 miles. Was told by mechanic that it will take 1.5 - 2 months to get parts due to there already being over 2300 orders for the parts.

Steering Dampening system keeps failing causing the known effect called the "Death Wobble" as the Jeep Wrangler will violently shake at certain speeds or after hitting a bump int he road. The dealer has fixed the problem Twice and now the vehicle is back in the dealer with being fixed for the third time. The dealer is telling us that it is out of the warranty period and will cost $3,200 to repair. This is unacceptable for jeep to have failed the first 2 times to repair the issue. This is a big safety issue as when we are driving down a highway the jeep will start to violently shake and we have to slow down to under 40 mph to gain control which is a major hazard to other driver safety as well as our own safety. The steering damper was replaced at 5,000 miles and then again at 18,000 miles. The car currently has 30,300 miles on it.

I took my jeep in to have the oil changed, and the tires rotated. When I left the dealership and got on the highway going around 70 mph, the jeep begin to shake. I had to pull over to the side of the road. I’m being told it is the steering damper. According to some research I’ve done online, there was a period of time. The dampers were being replaced for free if you had an issue. I am having an issue now. What do I do? V41?

I own a 2018 Jeep Wrangler JL (4-Door) that I bought new. It only has 7,522 miles on it and has never been off-road. On 12/3/22, I was driving on the interstate at the speed of 70 mph when my jeep began shaking vigorously and the steering became almost uncontrollable. I had to take evasive action, move over to the far right lane and slow my speed rapidly. Once my speed was under 30 mph, my jeep began driving normally again. This occurred when I drove over the beginning of a small bridge where there was a minimum change of the driving surface. As I continued driving on the interstate, the same action occurred when I drove over the next change in the surface road. This time I was only traveling at 50 mph and had to slow down to 20 mph to get the vigorous shaking to stop. I took it to my local Jeep Dealership today (12/5/22). After they inspected my jeep, I was advised that the steering damper was weak and outdated. I was also advised that they had already replaced the steering damper once due to the "customer satisfaction note" issued by FCA. The dealership then stated that FCA has revised the steering damper since the one that was replaced under the note but that I would have to pay for this repair because FCA hasn't issued a recall or safety notice regarding this known issue. At the low miles of 7,522 on a Jeep Wrangler that I bought brand new, I am going to have to pay for a repair to a known safety issue. Even after replacing the steering damper that they knew was defective once, I am going to have to pay for a 3rd steering damper that has been revised because the 2nd one put on by FCA was defective. This is a serious safety issue and is known by FCA but they are refusing to admit the issue and are making their customers pay for their defects. I will include a copy of my service report from the Jeep Dealership.

I had experienced the "death wobble" when I first bought my 2018 Jeep Wrangler JL in 2018. A recall repair was done replacing the dampener. Here we are in 2022 and I am beginning to experience the death wobble again. The dealership says the dampener is bad and Chrysler will not replace it. I don't think the "dampener" is the issue. It will be at my expense to fix.

Vehicle goes into death wobble on highway, you must slow down below 30 miles an hour to get to stop. Very dangerous on busy interstate. Vehicle had less than 40,000 miles, took it back to Jeep dealer where they inspected it and said they now have upgraded parts, I felt if they new they had a problem and had re-engineered parts for a fix the fix should have been on them. Cost for parts and labor exceeded $1200.00

Power steering and digital speedometer cut out without notice. Seems to be an electrical issue as it will throw a handful of lights at once and sometimes read "no bus". Has happened numerous times. Dealership replaced the aux battery. Did not resolve. Private dealerships are afraid to even touch it. Dealership I purchased it from "can't look at it until March" (5 months from now). There are reports of this all over forums and YouTube. Reached out to Chrysler directly and they basically just said "sorry your warranty is up".

When driving steering stops working transmission won’t shift wipers come on speedometer stops working radio gets loud engine cooling fan turns on fast and loud warning lights come on in dash abs, trac control, air bag, and service shifter. Have to restart vehicle and tap on small electrical connector behind the glove box to return to normal. Sometimes the vehicle won’t start or shift out of park. Problem is ongoing happens when idling sitting still or driving down the road

Severe "Death Wobble" occurred on the highway at 70 mph after running over a bump in the road (bridge seam), let off the accelerator and the wobble increased. I experience "Death Wobble" routinely with this vehicle but, never this bad. Stock, no lift or modifications, 45K miles, properly inflated newer tires and steering damper replaced. Vehicle steering feels consistently unstable and cannot drive more than 65 mph.

While driving the 2018 Jeep Wrangler JL, the vehicle began to shake violently along with the steering wheel. I had to pull over and slow to a stop to make it stop. I was running at a speed of about 70mph.

The contact owns a 2018 Jeep Wrangler. The contact stated while driving 45 MPH and turning the steering wheel in either direction, the vehicle failed to respond. The contact stated no warning light was illuminated. The contact continued driving to his destination. The contact took the vehicle to the local dealer, where it was diagnosed with needing the steering gearbox to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The contact called a second local dealer: Gupton Motors, Inc (3450 Tom Austin Hwy, Springfield, TN 37172:(615) 380-7226), and made an appointment to service the vehicle. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer had been informed of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 24,409.

Mileage: 24,409

This started out intermittently after hitting a bump in the road, but now the vehicle shakes uncontrollably at 50 mph and above. The vehicle feels like it is falling apart. I need to put my hazzards on and move slowly to the side of the road and come to a stop to get the shaking to stop. I have several videos of the condition, but they are too large to upload (11MB and 33MB). I am taking my vehicle to the dealership in hopes they can fix this. There is an open class action lawsuit with Jeep over a similar issue. I also have already had the steering stabilizer recall performed.

In cold weather the Jeep is very hard to steer at highway speeds. While driving at highway speeds below 40 F and coming around a curve the steering feels like its locked up (will not turn). It has to be forced to get over the locked up spot (hump). This happens a few times until the engine and system warms up, then works fine. This seems to be a well known issue on the Jeep JL Wrangler forums.

Vehicle violently shakes after hitting a bump or other imperfection on the freeway.

I purchased my 2018 Jeep wrangler and has less than 13k miles. I been having alot of front shaking (death wobble) since purchasing the vehicle. I have heard of complaints about the front end shaking violently and have had this problem a few times. Especialy at highway speeds if I hit a pothole as such. I can get it to stop if i am able to slow down and apply light brake pressure. I have checked all the steering for tight ess and even had the track bar replaced (as per other owners). But still have the problem occasionally. As for alignment, the jeep runs really well and straight without problems. I hear theres possible problems with the aluminum steeringg box (which I do have) vs. the steel steering box (I hear has a recall??). Is there any other issues as this is really scarry. Other than the replacement track bar everything is stock on this vehicle. Behicle was purchased from Cascade Auto in Wenatchee Washington 22 July 2022 with 10,893 miles.

This Jeep has the notorious “Death Wobble”. It has been inspected numerous times, there was a recall on a part ~May be a sway bar or a stabilizer bar etc- that did absolutely nothing to fix it. I’ve had the entire suspension replaced and it still does it constantly when driving over bumps in the road -specifically when the front right tire goes over a bump, around the 30+ mph. The entire front end of the Jeep jumps all over the road, the steering wheel shakes violently back and forth and you lose control of the vehicle. It’s terrifying when it happens, especially on the freeway. My two teenagers have both experienced this while driving and they were terrified trying to control it, had no idea what to do and almost lost control of the car because of how violently this one shakes. They both are anxious about driving the vehicle all together. I purchased this new and it started right away. Took it to the dealer and they new exactly what I was talking about but had no idea how to fix it. There is no warning, it’s just happens suddenly amen going over a bump in the road. It’s SO SCARY!

Going over a bridge at 55mph my vehicle went into a vigorous shaking in the front end making it uncontrollable to steer. I had to decrease speed right away to avoid going into another vehicle or the side of the bridge. Once, on the other side, I pulled over to come to a complete stop and was able to continue to my destination about 1-2 miles away at reduced speed. This is commonly known as “The Death Wobble” at the dealerships and Jeep community. It was taken in that day and returned the next day as they replaced the Steering Damper, which I’ve been told will not fix this problem. We will just have to see what happens next.

All warning lights on the dash lit up. All gauges (tach, speed, fuel) fell to zero while I was traveling at 55 mph. Engine stayed running. Power steering failed but would engage intermittently causing over steering when it caught. Found a safe place to get off the road and turned vehicle off for 1/2 hour. The vehicle ran fine afterward. Limped it to the dealer a day later and they diagnosed it as a "star connector" problem. They said they've seen it before. There's much discussion on the internet about it occurring with the 2018 Wranglers. Jeep said that the replacement connector is just the same as the one which failed so this could happen again if the connector is not improved. Loss of steering is life threatening especially when it goes on and off intermittently.

1. On numerous occasions my Jeep has suffered an electrical issue that renders the power steering, power brakes and other components in-operable. My dash goes blank, then restarts showing just about every system feature as needing serviced. The dealer has tried twice to fix it stating that a Star Connector has overheated and is the cause for the problem. This is a huge safety issue and I no longer feel I can trust it to not happen again. 2. The vehicle is impossible to drive without the power steering and brakes. The wipers stick on along with the electronic radiator fan. 3. Yes, The dealer has reproduced this and stated so on the repair invoice. Stating multiple codes in multiple modules for loss communication. 4. No, the vehicle or component has not been inspected by anyone other than the dealer. 5. No warning whatsoever! It has now happened for a fourth time and is back at the dealer.

The dash board lights all came on, The steering wheel lost power, the ABS light came on, with check shifter, could not control Jeep.

Jeep JL shows various warnings about engine revs and sometimes loss of power steering while driving at all speeds. Sometimes the Jeep will not get out of park and this issue is intermittent. Have taken it to the dealership and they cannot find anything wrong. From reading forums it would appear there is a bad wiring harness that causes this but it is terrifying when it can happen randomly and then just goes away on its own like nothing happened. I have various videos of this happening while parked. This issue seems to affect many of the JLs and rubicons. It has been happening for about 3 weeks now. Jeep does not admit or see the issue and the error codes thrown would indicate literally everything is wrong with the jeep. Can provide videos of this parked but it can and does happen randomly while driving.

April 2022 - Driving down US 30 in Ohio had the electronic stability control warning light come on. Took to dealership and was advised that no codes were stored therefore no work could be done on the Jeep. Next time the ESC warning came on it also gave service gear shifter, stop/start not available along with loss of traction control. Was told it was the wiring harness getting moisture and had been replaced. Drove Jeep maybe 100 miles and same codes came on with loss of power steering at a speed of 70 mph on I-75. This time Jeep was in the shop for 45 days with no luck of pinpointing the issue. Was told by the dealership to continue to drive the Jeep until the warning lights trigger more often. Had to put Jeep In the ditch due to losing power steering. Now Jeep is not wanting to turn over and when it does start not able to get the Jeep to go into ANY gear. I can not believe I traded in my husband's Hyundai in for this paperweight as I do not feel safe driving it.

Driving at 60 mph, the steering wheel locked up and could not turn left or right. The road had a significant curve and it forced me to merge on the lane as I couldn't steer into the curve. No service lights came on and this is a very serious safety issue. Luckily no other vehicles were near me while this occurred.

While driving at 30 mph, on occasion the vehicle would start to shake and the only resolution is to stop the vehicle, and then restart. On the freeway, I nearly lost control of the vehicle during one of these incidents. I had to stop the vehicle on the freeway and a lane change was not viable. I was nearly rear ended, so there were multiple safety issues at play. I took the vehicle to the jeeo dealer where I was informed of a 189 fee to diagnose the problem. I agreed to this fee, repeating to the service advisor mutiple times it was a safety issue and must be repaired. I was told that the steering dampener had a dent, and the steering dampener needed to be replaced every 30k miles. This is NOT listed in the maintenance schedule, nor is there any public statement from Jeep that this part can become defective as a result of early wear out. My vehicle is driven exclusively on city streets and has less than 20K miles. An internet search turns up the words “Jeeo Shake of DEATH” to describe this apparently well known problem.

While driving vehicle loss of power steering steering cause stiffness in steering wheel making it hard to control Dashboard just flickers numerous faults steering comes on and off making Unsafe to drive Dealer states can’t replicate the issues

The contact owns a 2018 Jeep Wrangler. The contact stated that while driving the display screen went blank. The contact stated that several unknown warning lights were illuminated. The vehicle lost power steering and was shaking. The vehicle was taken to the local dealer where it was diagnosed that the battery and sensors needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired; however, the failure recurred. The vehicle also failed to start. The vehicle was towed back to the local dealer but was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and referred the contact to the NHTSA. The failure mileage was approximately 61,000.

Mileage: 61,000

Since May of this year I have been trying to get my vehicle diagnosed and repaired. Multiple warning lights and messages go off at various times. Vehicle loses power steering and speed detection at a minimum. I have been to 3 different dealers at 5 separate times. A STAR case was opened by Fiat/Chrysler but was closed despite lack of diagnosis by dealer and concerns that the vehicle was not safe to drive. I have spent thousands of dollars and communicated multiple times to Fiat with no resolution. I have noted on various forums people complaining of similar issues. The following warnings are noted at frequent intervals; ABS needs service, shift module needs service, do not shift, do not turn off power, traction control, battery warnings and many more. Every possible warning indicator is coding. At previous dealer visit to current, the dealer advised that they could not diagnose and told me to pick up the vehicle. I advised Fiat and they supported me getting my vehicle despite concerns that it was unsafe. All documented.

The power steering went out while driving, check engine light came on, ABS Service, Service Shifter, Start/Stop unavailable, Service 4wd, Auto Park Disabled, Blind Spot Alert, Electronic Stability Control Service, Parking Sense Off. I could not shift out of Park. Many people are having this problem with their 2018 Wrangler JL and JLU and later models. All you have to do is Google this or go to YouTube to see. It may be a faulty ECU. In any case, this is a problem and a safety hazard.

My Jeep has been having electrical problems many warnings across the dash including lost communication with ABS module this has been going on for about a month sometimes the fault won’t let the Jeep go into gear I brought it to the local dealership they had it for the entire day and was told they can’t find anything and that it would actually have to be happening for them to figure it out yesterday I was driving with my kids in the Jeep and the electrical want crazy and then I lost total steering while doing 55 miles per hour After my heart went through my chest I was able to get the vehicle stopped so according to my Jeep dealer I need to be in a near death crash in order for them to figure out the problem I wonder if any unexplained deaths involving newer Jeep Wrangler could be attributed to these electrical issues

While driving at low speed in heavy rain vehicle lost power steering, engine service light, anti lock brake failure, skid control. Had to remove vehicle from roadway and restart engine, which corrected steering failure. Engine service light remained on. Vehicle is garaged. After being in garage for 24hrs engine service went out. Contacted dealer and was given appointment. Recommended not drive vehicle until service. Vehicle has 18,000 miles on it. Was told by dealer that battery failed which is tired into the crawl feature of the of the Rubicon 2.0 liter engine with crawl electric motor. Also told that there were many service bulletins.

On multiple occasions this Jeep has a tendency to wander into the adjacent lane, especially on curves. It is slow to respond to steering corrections when this happens. Any driving of the vehicle requires constant steering corrections to keep it in a straight line At highway speeds a small bump in the road causes the Jeep to wander into the next lane or to start to fishtail. I'm now scared to drive it on the highway and feel it's an accident waiting to happen.

Purchased slightly used with only 34,387 miles. When driving at a higher rate is speed (62 or more) if the vehicle hits a bump (like when crossing the threshold of a bridge or hitting a bump in the road while in a turn) the passenger side Suspension shakes uncontrollably. As per news articles, Fiat Chrysler Automotive is aware and recommends a new steering bump. This seems to be a temporary solution, part easily and quickly wears out and must be replaced. Mechanic state that is not a proper solution. To pay this type of money for a vehicle and then repair bills only to have to repeat. Major concern is when driving on a highway or freeway you can’t always safely slow down in traffic, especially with semi trucks.

The steering wheel is loose/has too much play. The Jeep wanders when holding the wheel straight. When driving, turning the wheel 2-3 inches in either direction produced not movement at all in my tires. This was not an issue before steering recalls were done. Unfortunately, with Covid and working from home, I did not drive a lot, and definitely not need to take it on highway. April 9th was the first time taking it on the highway for a trip (Connecticut to Kentucky). I did not make it. I was in an accident when a vehicle appeared to be to coming to close. I recall turning the wheel and not getting any response…then jerking more out of fear which was to much and I ended up smashing into a guardrail. I had to leave it in Pennsylvania at a collision center for repairs. May 26 - Can repairs complete so I picked it up in PA and drove to Louisville. A 7hr trip took 2-days. I has to drive slow, and so way could I drive it while it was raining. It was wandering and all over the highway and the steering was not responsive. June 3 -I brought it into Cross Jeep as soon as they had an opening. They rotated the tire and test drive it. I was told they did not notice anything out of the ordinary. The loose steering is how Jeeps drive. I was told to take it home and see how things were after the tire rotation. June 6 - First thing Monday I called to bring Jeep back in because it was driving the same. I left message with the answering service and I texted, but was unable to reach someone to make an appointment. June 7 - Got in touch with service and scheduled and appointment for their soonest opening (June 13) June 13 - Brought Jeep in and explained loose Staring and wandering is still an issue in the vehicle does not feel safe and is not safe because it caused me to crash. I showed them a video on the loose steering. I was told there is nothing they can do. That’s how “Jeeps” drive. I insisted they look further and I also file a complaint with Jeep.

In the middle of the intersection, the power steering turned off and the steering wheel locked. I could not move the steering. All dashboard lights came on as well as the emergency brakes. The gear shift also locked and refused to shift into any toner gear. The vehicle was completely disabled and would not restart. This is the 5 time this has happened. I took it to get serviced at my local jeep Chrysler dodge dealership and I am still receiving the same issue.

Service shifter comes on and can’t go into. While driving it’ll notify again and lock my steering making every hard to turn. Having to wait 10-30 mins just for to reset and get into gear then coming back on days later.

The Jeep Wrangler JL Sport S (2018), has been having steering issues (death wobble) while driving at highway speeds whenever it encounters a bump or potholes at speeds greater than 60mph. The only remedy is to break and slow down to 40mph, this poses a safety hazard on interstates and highways as the vehicles behind have limited time to react and operating this vehicle while it is vibrating is extremely hard and dangerous in traffic. Myself and my wife have been victims of several road rash incidents as the vehicle's behind don't know what is going on when we slow down to stop vibrating, they have honked us and have even followed my wife for 5 miles harassing her on the interstate. We have an infant at home and are concerned for his safety as he travels with us in the Jeep. The car dealer continues to recommend replacing the "steering dampener" as a remedy but having replaced it twice has not fixed the issue. We need FCA to fix this as soon as possible as operating this vehicle in this condition is not acceptable.

Electrical system failure. All indicator lights come on and all safety feature warning lights activate. Automobile loses power and power steering stops working. Automobile then veered right into traffic other lanes of traffic on freeway. The problem has been confirmed by Ken Ganley Chrysler. The vehicle was inspected by Ken Ganley Automotive. Has been taken to the repair shop 4 times. Same problem continues to happen. Several warning lights came on all at once and vehicle lost power steering causing vehicle to veer right abruptly. Problem first occurred at the beginning of April 2022.

This car lost power steering while driving on the expresway. The lights blink, windshield wipers go off, and all the warning lights flash. It will stop and not allow you to drive. I was told it was fixed after a software update but it continues to happen and it's gotten worse. They are now saying it needs a wire harness replacement. This vehicle is very dangerous.

I was driving my wife's vehicle at the time of this incident. While driving at highway speeds (55+ mph) I went over a cracked/uneven section of the roadway. The steering column began to vibrate and jump in my hands. The front wheels were rattling and bouncing, making it difficult to control the steering path of the vehicle. It was only after slowing down the speed of the vehicle that the rattling / jumping of the steering column stopped. The uneven section of road I had gone over hadn't been that severe enough, I thought, to cause any damage. I drive over that same route several times a week and it was no different than before, other than I was driving the Jeep. I asked my wife if this had ever happened to her before. She said it had, but it stopped and she thought it may just be a wearing or broken steel belted radial tire. We were getting the tires replaced soon. After getting new tires, the problem is persisting. The mechanic did not find any damaged wheels or tires, the steering didn't appear loose or damaged. After checking this site for vehicle recalls, but finding none, I was perplexed. After conducting further research I found out about the "Death Wobble" and FCA's Customer Satisfaction Notification V41 Steering Damper fix.

The jeep will automatically go into park will lock the shifter in park every light on dash will come on You will also lose power steering it will say service shifter service stability control ABS light comes on check engine light comes on error lights will come on and you can no longer move the jeep until you cut it on and off multiple times before it fixes itself have took it to a local jeep dealer and they claim nothing is wrong but you can clearly see all the lights on the dash no power steering and you cannot shift it out of park this happened to us going to get dinner and we were stuck for about two hours before the jeep decided it was ready to go again That was the first time that it had happened Now it will do it daily but we have to drive it because we need means of transportation back-and-forth to work can you please report this as a major issue thank you

Recently, my daughter experienced the vehicle shaking after traveling on the beltway at the speed of 65+ MPH. She informed that she hit a pothole in the road at the high speed and the car began to shake. The history of this vehicle when I leased it new was the same. After having leased the vehicle for less than a year, I experienced the same. At that time there was a recall on the steering stabilizer (believe that was the name). I took it back to the dealership and it appeared to be resolved. I had not experienced the problem again until recently. I just took it to the dealership explaining the problem. They informed me that the steering damper design was outdated and performed a bleed out. After driving the vehicle, I experienced the same problem (traveling @ a speed of 65+ and hit an imperfection in the road). I believe that may daughter or I could lose control of the vehicle if traveling on the beltway and the vehicle shakes uncontrollably; thus, there's a lost of control of the vehicle which will cause a crash.

vehicle dash goes crazy. all warning lights come on. gauges act erratic. shifter lights blink. service abs, service traction control, service shift warnings flash. fans act erratic. power steering cuts out. when in park vehicle won't shift out of park. sometimes this happens when vehicle is first started. it is now happening while driving. this is a major safety concern since the power steering goes out while driving. i have had this vehicle to the dealership 3 times for this and they keep telling me they can't recreate the problem. when put on the scanner numerous codes come up.

the steering is very loose and the jeep wanders on the road. I have experienced i down shifting very hard when braking.

Steering wheel locks up at highway speeds, making it very difficult to make any turns. This can be a life threatening issue in many circumstances. No warning lights come on. It happened to me on 03/17/22 , only after a day of owning the vehicle. I found many threats online reporting the same issue. Not sure why this is not a recall yet. https://www.jlwranglerforums.com/forum/threads/steering-wheel-locking-up.20839/

Car spontaneously begins to violently shake, primarily after traveling over a bridge-road seam or other minor bump in road surface. The shake violently rattles car left to right, violently rattles steering wheel. Occurs at 55-60 MPH and above, when travel in excess of 60 MPH car becomes consistently undriveable at posted speed. Possible to recover if can slow down below 30 MPH, typically must stop car. Safety is high risk due to high speed and very high amplitude vibration, must navigate to safety to stop car (ex: on expressway). Unsure of vehicle control in icy conditions or curves. Have had fellow expressway drivers pull over to tell me they witnessed front tires jumping up and down. Car was just inspected, new tires installed, wheels balanced. Clean bill of health, and issue began. Took to manufacturer dealer, they did not convey any knowledge of issue. However knew what I meant by "death rattle". Technician is replacing steering damper. This is a known issue to NTSA and Fiat Chrysler. While no recall, FCA has posted a consumer satisfaction notice to cover the steering damper replacement, although repair shop claims this is a courtesy extended warranty coverage. The death rattle is no-joke violent and places occupants of vehicle at risk during recovery of death rattle and renders vehicle unfit for safe travel at speeds above 50 MPH. Thought you should know.

At 40,000 miles the Service shifter warning light came on and a barrage of other lights flashed across the dash. Check engine light comes on and all of a sudden I lose all power steering and almost run off the road. The steering only comes back after shutting engine off and restarting it. It is a continuous problem with no warning as to when it will occur. I have it scheduled to go into shop on Thursday for the diagnosis. Either way it is extremely dangerous!

On high speed turns when you hit a bump just right the steering wheel/column shakes violently and the entire front end vibrates to the point where it feels like control of the vehicle is lost.

Front Wheels/Axle Wobble when hitting irregularities in road between 48-65 MPH. Requires slowing down to almost a stop to dissipate the wobble.

Death Wobble frontend started to shake violently on a major highway. I have only had this vehicle 3 weeks and was never notified of this and put many drivers near me at risk. No warnings were given. Driving at highway speed.

Steering wheel seems to ( tighten up when going around a curve went right ) this has happened off n on from time to time…. Safety is if the steering whee locks up going around a curve at 30 or more miles an hour and you don’t respond quick enough or pull hard enough the other way you can run someone over. Cause a wreck. This is 100% a safety matter and needs to be investigated not the only jeep having this problem. No one has confirmed the issue or hasn’t caused any accidents ( yet) it is just a scary moment when it Happens I have two kids and don’t need the steering to act up while they are in the car. No warning lamps on nothing let’s you know that something isn’t right. When it happens and all sudden you jerk left or right makes you look like a drunk driver swerving. This has happened 5 or 6 times and just happened 2/18/22 when my wife was on her way home from work. THIS NEEDS TO BE LOOKED AT AND INVESTIGATED BEFORE IT CAUSES A DEATH.

My vehicle is suffering form the defect described in this recall notice - https://static.nhtsa.gov/odi/tsbs/2019/MC-10169208-9999.pdf However, my vin doesn't show as being recalled in the NHTSA lookup tool. This week the same experience was observed while driving over 50mph and hitting normal bumps in the road. A wild vibration/oscillation takes over the vehicle and presents a safety concern for myself, passengers, and motorists around me.

When driving, at random times my dash lights all come on and the following components say that they're unavailable: ABS Electronic Stability Control Sway Bar Disconnect Stop/Start Blind Spot Alert I will then lose my power steering. My speedometer, RPM, and fuel gauges will drop to 0. This has happened both when driving around the neighborhood and while driving on the highway. I have been to two different dealers three different times and they have been able to reproduce and confirm the issue. But they have been unable to fix the problem. Researching the issue myself, I have found several examples of other owners having this same problem. Examples can be found on carcomplaints.com and jlwranglerforums.com. I don't know how many other cars must have this issue before action is taken by the manufacturer, but I consider the loss of power steering and the airbag system a significant safety issue. My vehicle is available for inspection at any time.

*Steering issues. The steering has locked up multiple times. Once in a parking lot. Every other time has been on the highway at speeds over 65mph. Yes, it is available for inspection. *If there had been a sharp curve or a reason to quickly maneuver, I would not have been able to. *No, it is out of warranty dealer let me know it's my problem. *No has not been inspected by police or others. *No warning lamps or any other symptoms prior to it happening. I've pulled over and inspected it each time. I do not find anything loose or binding that would cause this. Also, by the time I pull over it no longer does this.

Multiple occurances of steering locking up(power steering failure?)all on cold mornings, turning left and around 35-40 mph 12/21/21: While driving down a straight 2 lane rd prior to dawn, I lightly steered my vehicle right to move from center of rd to right hand side. When I attempted to steer back left to correct the vehicle straight, I was unable to move the steering wheel at all to the left resulting in me driving into a mailbox & damaged both vehicle & mailbox. Vehicle drove home fine w/out further steering issue and problem couldn't be replicated. 1/11/22: Another cold morning(appr 32 degrees), warmed car up for 15 mins(to take kids to school). Came to a 30 degree left turn & again noticed the same issue of steering locked up and unable to turn left into curve until I used both hands/arms to apply a significant amount of physical force(again barely missing a mailbox). Then I couldn't correct back to the right w/out applying same force so ended up in oncoming lane of traffic. Thankfully there was not an oncoming vehicle since I had 2 kids in the car & could've had a head on collision. Steering started working again before vehicle even came to a stop. 1/27/21: Cold morning again, warmed car up as usual, & had the same steering failure on same left hand curve as on 1/11 but this time steering ability returned quickly and safely made through the turn. Oncoming vehicle but steering returned quickly enough to avoid issues. I've since learned that FCA has a new 'campaign' out for the steering assist categorized as a 'non-safety related' repair. I'm uncertain if the 'software update' will address my steering issue as the factors outlined in it are not the same as my circumstance & correspond with a different issue being reported with the steering.?

The contact owns a 2018 Jeep Wrangler. The contact stated that while driving at various speeds and going over bumps in the roadway the vehicle was difficult to control. The contact stated that while merging onto the highway at approximately 60 MPH, the vehicle drove over a small bump in the road and became difficult to maneuver. The contact stated that he was able to safely slow down and pull to the side of the highway to avoid a crash. The local dealer was contacted, and the contact was informed that the steering box needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired however, the failure recurred. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and suggested that an appointment be made to diagnose the vehicle. The failure mileage was 16,791. The VIN was invalid.

The steering wheel begins to shake violently, without warning, making controlling the vehicle hard to control. My vehicle was recalled for this and repaired once. However, the problem has began again. This time is has more violent shaking than the previous encounters, making controlling the vehicle almost impossible. No warning lamps or messages. It seems to worsen in cold weather.

I have experienced out of nowhere violent front end shake on 4 different occasions since purchasing a used 2019 Jeep Wrangler Sahara three (3) months ago. It cannot be reproduced as I cannot determine what exactly causes it to happen but on at least two occasions I was traveling along highway bridges. There are no warning lights or messages prior to the violent shake.I have had a tire store employee look at the vehicle and have been told the steering damper should be replaced however after researching my vin noticed that this has been completed at least once already according to the MOPAR site. It is very dangerous in my opinion as you will have to keep your wits about you to keep from losing control of the vehicle. Most recent occurence 2:00 pm Interstate 20. January 9, 2022

My jeep is wobbling violently on the highway and will not stop unless I come to a stop

The contact owns a 2018 Jeep Wrangler. The contact stated while driving 70 MPH, the front of the vehicle was wobbling violently. The contact mentioned that the steering wheel was shaking to the point the contact was unable to continue to drive the vehicle. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic but was not yet diagnosed. The dealer was not contacted. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 45,000.

Mileage: 45,000

I bought the vehicle used in December of 2021. It has been out of warranty since July of 2021. At highway speeds, the vehicle wanders side to side and seems to pull to the right. It does it on interstates as well as local roads and it is more noticeable at speeds over 30MPH. FCA knows about the problem and has fixes available for vehicles still under warranty. I feel this is a dangerous situation, since I am unable to steer the vehicle in a straight line, and steering requires constant small adjustments just to stay in my lane.

I'm describing this is a steering problem, but it may easily include suspension as well. I've experienced the so-called death wobble several times since buying this Jeep. I had chalked it up as being part of having 4WD (though operating in 2WD), but I never had this problem with a much older Jeep, and it doesn't seem like it should be acceptable. Twice on this day traveling around 60 MPH, the steering began to shake with the whole vehicle wobbling. I was able to stop it after slowing down below about 40 MPH or so. I haven't found a common culprit, though it's been triggered by hitting bridge expansion joints on the highway... particularly if I'm not going perfectly straight. I'm fearful of driving over 55 MPH, and I don't think that's acceptable. While I kept control, I don't know if that will always happen. I fear losing control and possibly rolling over. It has not been reproduced or confirmed. It has not been inspected. No warning lamps or messages showed.

Severe death wobble at speeds above 60 mph , have had this looked at several times by dealer but problem persists

I have a experienced steering lockup multiple times. Normally in cold weather conditions. Twice in the driveway. About 5-6 times on the road at 30-40 mph and twice on the interstate

My steering on my Jeep feels stiff occasionally. Hesitation/Resistance when trying to steer. This happens once in a while. More often on cold mornings, right after a cold start.

2018 JLU - Sport While driving at any speed over 40 mph, when trying to turn with the road, the steering wheel locks up and will not allow me to turn it. This has almost caused me to crash into other vehicles and/or structures as I can not maintain my lane, with my *child* in the vehicle. Colder weather seems to make this worse. Also, there is excessive play and extremely loose steering while driving, the vehicle will not maintain a straight line, the driver must constantly micro manage the steering wheel. No warning lamps or messages. I have not taken it to the dealership because they want to charge over $100 for a diagnostic fee. I should not have to pay this charge as this is a known SAFETY issue. There is a recall for this issue on others with the same year, make & model but my VIN is not included in this. After speaking with MOPAR last week, I was informed that I would have to pay for any repairs out of pocket and hope that my VIN makes it on the list one day!

While driving 65 mph on interstate highway, Jeep front end began vibrating and violently shaking during lane change. Surrounding vehicles noticed erratic condition and yielded. Regained control as vehicle slowed below 45 mph. Issue repeated itself twice the same day. Stock vehicle, 11,600 miles on odometer. Unsafe condition.

2 times now the stearing has felt as though it locked up while driving . Both times I have noticed it was a colder morning say 30f . Very scary when it happens

My Jeep has began to shake violently on two recent occasions 11/18 and 11/23 at highway speeds. I tracked back to see if something was in the road, but all I found was a small imperfection about 1 inch tall in the road seam. The vehicle began to shake so violently that it took all I could do to keep from colliding with neighboring cars. The internet calls this “death wobble “ and it was supposed to be repaired by the dealer under recall. I had the work completed over a year ago and the vehicle is still affected.

My Steering wheel keeps locking up and I am unable to turn the wheel. My power steering fluid is fine cause I had it checked. The only way to unlock the steering wheel is to step in the brake. I believe it has something to do with the power steering pump. I have set up an appointment with Jeep for service. I recently had my jeep inspected and it passed. No warning lights have come up. It’s a very scary experience as I almost got into an accident as I was not able to turn the wheel until I stepped on the brake.

Steering sticks going around a curve… Feels like someone is holding the wheel.

I was driving to work at approximately 7:50 am when the outside ambient temperature was below freezing (approximately 30 degrees Fahrenheit). The vehicle was operating normally until I came to a long, sweeping, and gradual curve on a road that I take every day to get to work. As I entered this curve to the right, driving at approximately 60mph, my steering locked up causing the Jeep to drift into the other lane of traffic. After 2-3 seconds of steering lock, the wheel released and I was able to jerk the vehicle back into my lane. Normal operation resumed, until I came to a similar curve, just up the road, when the lockup happened again. Again, the curve was long, sweeping, and gradual, and I was driving at approximately 60mph.

This morning while taking my Jeep to work, the steering was locked up on me. I had roughly 15 degrees of movement on either side. I had to take a turn and use every bit of my strength to turn the Jeep until I could physically feel my steering loosen up and then drove normal. I always use my remote start and let it warm up before driving on cold mornings. It doesn't have any mods on it either that aren't from Jeep.

While driving around the speed of 55 or high the steering wheel seems to lock up and you can't turn it. This is extremely unsafe as it has almost caused major accidents.

Entire vehicle continues to shake violently about 1/3 of the time after hitting a bump at highway speeds. Shaking has become increasingly prevalent and pronounced, and it lasts for a longer duration when unable to slow down under 45 mph while driving. Vehicle shake has been noticed by other drivers, who signaled about the issue while driving. Manufacturer recall has been completed twice, but issue continues to get worse.

Random intervals the jeep dash complety shuts down and loses all power steering and ABS and stability control functions. Ran codes and says its losing connection the the tcm. Abs module fails to relieve signal from can bus c

Driving 72 mph on the interstate when I exited a bridge, there was a bump in the road. The front started to vibrate vigorously and the steering vibrated so hard that I almost had a wreck. Slowed down to 40 mph and the vibrating stopped.

Driving 72 mph on interstate, crossed a bridge and as I exited the bridge hit a rough spot and the 2018 Jeep Wrangler I was driving, suddenly the front end started vibrating vigorously and the steering wheel starting vibrating so bad I almost lost control of the vehicle. Finally I slowed down to 40 mph and the vibration stopped. I am afraid to drive the vehicle at a high rate of speed on the interstate because of the possibility of having a wreck. This need to be taken care immediately by the company at no charge to me. The vehicle only has 5500 miles on it. I bought it new.

STEERING WHEEL ASSIST SEEMS TO BE FAIOLING WHEN VEJICLE IS IN MOTION. IT FEELS LIKE THE STEERING STIFFENS UP OR ACTS AS IF THE CAR IS TURNED OFF.

In July 2021 our 19 year old daughter was driving our 2018 Rubicon on a trip 2 hours or so from home when all of the dash warning lights came on speedometer was lost . Panicked she asked us what to do? We told her to take it to the closest Jeep dealership (Ladd-Hanford DCJR) to see if the vehicle was safe to drive. She was told it just needed an oil change and it was safe to drive. About 10 days later my wife was driving the vehicle and the same thing happened. The vehicle was taken to our local dealer where they tried to diagnose, unable to duplicate the problem it was returned to us. We returned about 10 days later same lights coming on, this time power steering was lost. Dealership worked with Chrysler engineering and determined that the ABS module needed replaced. Work completed and Jeep was picked up. About 10 days later dash warning lights on, speedometer display out, power steering lost, back to dealership. Unable to look at at that time appointment made and returned. It is now September 30th we have cases opened with Chrysler and Mopar Warrantee. Vehicle is still at the dealership, diagnosis is now a $2000.00 chaffed wiring harness just outside the fuse box not covered by anybody. No guarantee that this will fix it. Neither will put anything in writing. I have tried to be patient, we need our vehicle. I do not feel that my family or others are safe when it pertains to this vehicle. I don't want it to be involved in an accident that could cause serious injury or death.

Experienced the death wobble. At speeds over 70 mph hitting a few bumps in the road the front end would shake violently would have to get the speed under 50mph in order to get it to stop. Has happened over a dozen times

I was driving down a major highway at approx 60 mph. The entire vehicle started violently shaking; uncontrollably. It was very difficult to control steering. This continued for approx. 2 minutes. No warning lights came on

The contact owns a 2018 Jeep Wrangler. The contact stated while driving at an undisclosed speed, the steering wheel ceased, and the vehicle became difficult to steer. The contact stated that there was no warning light illuminated. The vehicle was taken to a local dealer where it was diagnosed however, the mechanic stated that nothing needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer had not been informed of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 17,706.

I was in my car at a gas station and the car had shut down with ABS light, check engine light. The car would not start up with push to start. The shifter also was locked into place when the car eventually ended up starting. 5 mins later the car finally started up and all the of the warning lights/messages went away. I received an oil change + inspection from a dealership and nothing was found. This same problem happened again in a parking lot, (ABS, check engine, car not turning on) and I took my car to the dealership for service. They performed an inspection and I was told the ABS module needed to be replaced. About a week later I picked up my car from the dealership after they told me they fixed the issue and my car was good to go. THE SAME DAY, I had the same problem except this time it was significantly worse and extremely dangerous for myself and others. This time, WHILE driving my "serviced" vehicle, the ABS light, check engine light came on, dashboard stopped working, and the steering wheel also had locked while DRIVING and I was unable to turn. I was extremely terrified and I immediately pulled the car over. After multiple attempts to start the car (same issue as before: car would not start, ABS/check engine light) I promptly took the vehicle to the dealership again. The dealership is charging me again for another inspection, hours after their service? It seems that they are using this as an opportunity to make money, rather than actually fix the issue with the vehicle. This should not be about money, this is EXTREMELY DANGEROUS. The service the dealership has provided not only endangered my life, but the lives of others around me. I am extremely fortunate that this did not happen on the freeway. The dealer did not fix the problem, and in fact made the car dangerous with some of these new issues, the steering wheel locking up and the disabled dashboard. The part they replaced did not fix my car and put me, as well as others in a DANGEROUS situation.

The contact owns a 2018 Jeep Wrangler. The contact stated while driving at various speeds, the steering wheel vibrated abnormally, requiring added effort to keep the vehicle driving in a straight line. There was no warning light illuminated. The vehicle was taken to the local dealer to be diagnosed. The contact was informed that the front track bar bracket needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not yet repaired. The manufacturer was informed of the failure and referred the contact back to the dealer. The failure mileage was approximately 14,000.

My Jeeps steering wheel locked up while driving. It felt like the power steering lost all power. Also, multiple warning lights started to display and the speedometer stopped working.

Driving on the highway at 65 mph, getting of the highway onto an exit at @35 mph steering wheel completely lock and ABS ligh ame on . Was able to pull to the side cool car then drive . Two weeks prior the whole console stacwas replace because of the same problem.

I PURCHASED THE JEEP WRANGLER AS THE FIRST OWNER IN 2018. I IMMEDIATELY FELT INCONSISTENCIES WITH THE STEERING. THE STEERING FELT LOOSE. AT THE TIME I EXPRESSED MY CONCERN TO THE DEALERSHIP THAT I PURCHASED THE JEEP FROM, I WAS TOLD THAT THERE WAS A RECALL ON MY JEEP FOR THE 'DEATH WOBBLE' AND THAT IT WAS LIKELY THE RESULT OF THAT. THE RECALL WORK WAS COMPLETED WITHIN THE FIRST 12 MONTHS OF PURCHASE. THE RECALL REPAIR DID NOT RESOLVE THE ISSUE. THE STEERING CONTINUED TO FEEL LOOSE AND AS TIME WENT ON BECAME MORE EVIDENT. WHEN DRIVING ON THE EXPRESSWAY ONTO AN EXIT AT 40-50MPH I FOLLOWED THE SLIGHT CURVE AND THE STEERING FELT UNSTABLE AND WANDERED. THE BEST WAY TO DESCRIBE WHAT OCCURRED WOULD BE THAT IT FELT LIKE THE FRAME WAS FALLING OFF THE WHEELS. THIS CONTINUED MORE FREQUENTLY AND LAST WEEK BECAME UNMANAGEABLE. WHILE DRIVING 70MPH DOWN THE EXPRESSWAY, I WAS UNABLE TO MAINTAIN CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE. IT FELT LIKE I WAS DRIVING A BOAT ON WATER. I FELT CONFIDENT THAT THE FRAME OF THE JEEP WAS LEAVING THE WHEELS. AT THIS TIME I NOTICED THAT THE GEARS WERE SLIPPING AS WELL. I MADE AN APPOINTMENT TO HAVE MY TRANSMISSION EXAMINED. THE EARLIEST AVAILABLE APPOINTMENT IS 6 DAYS OUT, SO I DECIDED TO SNEAK UNDER THE JEEP TO SEE IF THERE WAS A TRANSMISSION LEAK. WHAT I OBSERVED WAS SHOCKING TO FIND ON A 2018 VEHICLE AND CONSIDERABLY OVERWHELMING. MY DEGREE IS CRIMINAL SCIENCE, SO FAR FROM HAVING ANY AUTOMATIVE/ENGINEERING EXPERIENCE AND KNOWLEDGE, BUT CONTEXTUAL CLUES ARE EVIDENTIARY CLEAR TO ME. THE FEELING OF THE FRAME BEING DISPLACED FROM THE BODY OF THE VEHICLE IS A PROBABLE RESULT. I HAVE A DEEP CONCERN WITH THE CURRENT CONDITION OF THE WELDING OF THE FRAME AND THE CONDITION OF THE UNDERBODY.

A FEW MONTHS AFTER PURCHASING MY CERTIFIED PRE-OWNED 2018 JEEP WRANGLER UNLIMITED SAHARA, I BEGAN EXPERIENCING REGULAR SHAKING EPISODES WHILE DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY. THE SHAKING STARTS AFTER DRIVING OVER A SMALL BUMP IN THE ROAD. AT FIRST I COULD GET THE SHAKING TO STOP BY SLOWING THE VEHICLE DOWN SOME, BUT THE PROBLEM QUICKLY PROGRESSED TO WHERE THE VEHICLE HAD TO BE SLOWED DOWN TO A COMPLETE STOP TO END THE SHAKING. THIS IS EXTREMELY UNSAFE TO HAVE HAPPEN ON THE FREEWAY, AND IS ESPECIALLY TERRIFYING TO TRY AND MAINTAIN CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE WHEN THERE IS HEAVIER TRAFFIC ON THE ROAD. MY JEEP HAD FEWER THAN 18,000 MILES AND WAS IN SERVICE LESS THAN 2 YEARS PRIOR TO BEING BROUGHT INTO THE DEALERSHIP REPAIR SHOP. I HAVE SENT THE VEHICLE MANUFACTURER A LEMON LAW COMPLAINT LETTER VIA CERTIFIED MAIL AND FILED A COMPLAINT WITH MARYLAND'S CONSUMER PROTECTION DIVISION (ATTACHED). MY JEEP HAS BEEN AT THE REPAIR SHOP FOR 3 MONTHS ALREADY, AND I WAS RECENTLY NOTIFIED THAT THE NECESSARY REPAIR PART IS NOT EXPECTED TO BE AVAILABLE FOR ALMOST 3 MORE MONTHS.

WHEN STARTING THE VEHICLE FOR THE FIRST TIME IN THE MORNING WHEN THE TEMP IS AT OR BELOW FREEZING FOR ABOUT THE FIRST 10-15 MINUTES OF DRIVING THE VEHICLE WILL NOT WANT TO TURN LEFT. IT FEELS LIKE IT IS BINDING UP AND YOU HAVE TO FORCE THE STEERING WHEEL TO THE LEFT BUT THEN IT WILL LET LOOSE AND SEND YOU TO THE LEFT WITH FORCE. THIS HAS CAUSED ME TO ALMOST WRECK SEVERAL TIMES. THANKFULLY I HAVE BEEN ABLE TO AVOID THE ONCOMING TRAFFIC BUT WORRY ONE TIME I WILL NOT. I WORRY FOR ANY PASSENGERS THAT MIGHT BE IN MY VEHICLE AND FOR MYSELF. I HAVE TAKEN IT INTO THE DEALERSHIP SEVERAL TIMES BUT BY THE TIME I GET IT THERE IT IS EITHER TO WARM OUT OR NOT DOING THE PROBLEM BECAUSE I HAVE DRIVEN IT TO THEM. I ALSO CONTACTED THE JEEP CARES LINE AND ALL THEY WOULD TELL ME IS TAKE IT TO THE DEALERSHIP. SO NO HELP THERE. I HAVE READ NUMEROUS POSTS ONLINE OF OTHER WRANGLER OWNERS HAVING THIS SAME ISSUE AND DEALERS HAVE REPLACED COMPONENTS AND FIXED THOSE ISSUES. BUT I CAN NOT SEEM TO GET ANY HELP WHEN I TAKE MINE IN. THIS IS VERY FRUSTRATING THAT JEEP KNOWS ABOUT THIS PROBLEM AS THERE IS A TSB OUT FOR IT BUT THEY WILL NOT FIX ANYTHING ON MINE BECAUSE THEY SAY THEY CANNOT DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM.

I OWN A 2108 JEEP WRANGLER JL WITH 32,100-MILES ON THE ODOMETER. ON THREE SEPARATE OCCASIONS IN THE PAST MONTH, WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AT 60+ MPH, MY STEERING AND FRONT SUSPENSION HAS STARTED SHAKING IN A WILD, UNCONTROLLABLE MANNER, FORCING ME TO NEARLY BRING MY VEHICLE TO A STOP. THE SITUATION SEEMS TO BE INITIATED BY HITTING BUMPS AT HIGHWAY SPEED, WHICH TRIGGERS A RUN-AWAY, VIOLENT, HARMONIC SHAKING (NOT JUST VIBRATIONS). I HAD THE TIRES REBALANCED AND ALIGNMENT CHECKED, BUT THE SAME THING HAPPENED'THIS EXTREME SHAKING IS DEFINITELY NOT A TIRE ISSUE. I'M NOT ONLY CONCERNED FOR MY SAFETY; BUT IF THIS CONTINUES, THE VIOLENT NATURE OF THIS SHAKING WILL MOST CERTAINLY DAMAGE OTHER COMPONENTS OF THE SUSPENSION OR STEERING.

WHILE DRIVING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS OUR 2018 JEEP WRANGLE UNLIMITED SPORT STARTED VIOLENTLY SHAKING SO BAD I COULD HARDLY HOLD ONTO THE STEERING WHEEL. I IMMEDIATELY APPLIED THE BRAKES TO SLOW DOWN AND THE SHAKING SUBSIDED. THIS HAS HAPPEN ABOUT FIVE TIMES SINCE IT FIRST OCCURRED. I ALSO RECEIVED A RECALL FROM FIAT CHRYSLER AUTOMOBILES (FCA) STATING THERE WAS A RECALL (V41) WHICH IS SUPPOSED TO FIX THIS ISSUE. WE MADE ARRANGEMENTS AT OUR LOCAL DEALERSHIP TO GET THE RECALL WORK DONE BUT THEY DID NOT HAVE THE PART ON HAND EVEN AFTER THEY CONFIRMED THEY DID. THAT WAS ON JANUARY 15, 2021. THE DEALERSHIP (THOMPSONS CHRYSLER JEEP IN PLACERVILLE, CA) WAS TO CALL US WHEN THEY RECEIVED THE PART. IT HAD BEEN OVER A MONTH AND A HALF AND WE HAVE NOT HEARD A WORD FROM THEM EVEN AFTER NUMEROUS EMAILS ASKING FOR AN UPDATE.

2018 JEEP WRANGLER HAS TERRIFYING STEERING ISSUES. CONSISTENTLY WHILE STEERING A HIGHWAY CURVE AT 40-55 MPH MY JEEP STEERING DISENGAGES AND RESULTS IN AN UNSAFE INABILITY TO MAINTAIN THE STEERING COLUMN. THE STEERING CAN BE DESCRIBED AS LOOSE AND COMMONLY DESCRIBED BY PASSENGERS AS THE UNSETTLING FEELING THAT THE FRAME OF THE VEHICLE IS COMING OFF THE WHEELS. PLEASE LOOK INTO THIS SAFETY ISSUE. I HAVE NOT BEEN INJURED YET BUT IF THIS CONTINUES I DON'T THINK IT WILL REMAIN THAT WAY.

Mileage: 7,000

VEHICLES HAS EXCESSIVE PLAY IN THE STEERING WHEEL WHICH MAKES STAYING/DRIVING IN THE LANE DIFFICULT ON HIGHWAYS AND INCREDIBLY DIFFICULT ON SIDE ROADS. DEALER HAS REPLACED THE STEERING GEARBOX AND NOW SAYS IT DRIVES AS IT SOHULD. TAKEN VEHICLE TO OTHER SHOPS AND WAS TOLD THAT WHILE MOVING THE STEERING WHEEL BACK AND FORTH THE DRAG LINK MOVES IMMEDIATLY BUT THE TIE ROD DOES NOT WHICH CONTRIBUTES TO THE EXCESSIVE PLAY FELT IN THE STEERING WHEEL. ALSO THE GEARBOX MOVES AWAY FROM THE VEHICLE FRAME WHICH EXASPERATES THE PROBLEM EVEN MORE.

THE STEERING WHEEL LOCKS UP WHILE DRIVING. THIS ESPECIALLY HAPPENS IN COLD WEATHER. THE STEERING WHEEL IS EITHER DIFFICULT TO TURN / SLOW TO RESPOND TO TURNING, OR, ON ONE OCCASION (FEB 7, 2021), IT LOCKED UP COMPLETELY WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY. I WAS TRYING TO FOLLOW A CURVE IN THE ROAD AND THE VEHICLE DID NOT RESPOND. I HAD TO STOP THE CAR TO GET THE WHEEL TO UNLOCK. THIS ISSUE HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR THE LAST MONTH, AND CULMINATED IN THE VERY ALARMING EPISODE ON FEB 7. AFTER GOOGLING THIS ISSUE, I'M AWARE THAT IT IS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM IN JEEP WRANGLERS (LIKE MINE) PURCHASED IN LATE 2017 THROUGH EARLY 2018. I PURCHASED MY JEEP IN FEB, 2018. I'VE NOTIFIED CHRYSLER AND MY DEALERSHIP. MY DEALERSHIP INFORMS ME THAT IT IS LIKELY THE GEARBOX, BUT THEY ARE ON A 3 WEEK BACK ORDER. I'M AFRAID TO DRIVE MY VEHICLE, BUT AM TAKING IT TO MY DEALERSHIP TOMORROW (FEB 9) TO BE DIAGNOSED, AND HOPE TO ARRIVE THERE SAFELY.

FOR SOME REASON WHEN DRIVING OVER 60MPH AND UNDER 40 DEGREES OUTSIDE, THE STEERING WHEEL STICKS OR BECOMES VERY STIFF WHEN ATTEMPTING TO TURNING RIGHT DURING A CURVE IN THE ROAD OR WHEN CHANGING LANES. THE DANGER IS THAT IT WILL THEN SUDDENLY UN-STICK AND CAUSE THE VEHICLE TO SWERVE TO THE RIGHT. THE FIRST TIME IT HAPPENED WAS IN 2018. THERE WAS A DEALER SOFTWARE PROGRAMING UPDATE THAT WAS PERFORMED HOWEVER EACH WINTER WHEN THE TEMPERATURE DROPS BELOW 40 THE ISSUE STILL OCCURS.

Mileage: 25,000

THE POWER STEERING WILL LOCK UP AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS USUALLY OVER 30 MPH AND WILL COME BACK ON WHEN THE SPEED GOES BELOW 30MPH. THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE AS IT IS VERY DIFFICULT TO TURN WHEN THE POWER STEERING GOES OUT. ALSO, WHEN IT RANDOMLY COMES BACK ON THE VEHICLE WILL OVERCORRECT DUE TO THE POWER STEERING COMING BACK ON. I HAVE TAKEN IT IN TO TWO DEALERSHIPS AND THEY HAVE YET TO FIX THIS ISSUE.

Mileage: 21,000

DEATH WOBBLE OCCURS AT SPEEDS AROUND 60 MPH, TRIGGERED BY SMALL BUMPS ON THE ROAD. EXTREME SHAKING OCCURS ON THE STEERING OF THE VEHICLE. THE WOBBLING, WHEN IT IS TRIGGERED, CONTINUES EVEN IF THE ROAD IS SMOOTH AFTER THE BUMPS. THE WOBBLING IS NOT A VERTICAL VIBRATION FROM THE ROAD, IT IS A LEFT-RIGHT VIBRATION ON THE STEERING, WHICH THEN CAUSES VIOLENT SHAKING OF THE WHOLE VEHICLE. THIS HAPPENS IN HIGHWAYS AT REGULAR CRUISING SPEEDS 60 MPH ON STRAIGHT ROAD SEGMENTS, TYPICALLY AFTER GOING THROUGH A SMALL PATCH OF IRREGULAR (LITTLE BUMPY) ROAD, LIKE A BRIDGE OR AN OVERPASS ON THE HIGHWAY. I HAVE HAD ABOUT 5 VISITS TO THE DEALER IN JEEP-CHRYSLER OF MORGANTOWN, WV AND THEY CLAIM THAT SINCE THEY CANNOT REPLICATE THE CONDITION, THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO. BUT THIS IS A RECURRING PROBLEM SINCE THE CAR WAS NEW.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2018 JEEP WRANGLER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE TRAVELING AT VARIOUS HIGH SPEEDS, THE VEHICLE WOBBLED UNCONTROLLABLY WITHOUT WARNING AFTER GOING OVER A BUMP IN THE ROADWAY. THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE TO GLENDALE DODGE CHRYSLER JEEP (900 S BRAND BLVD, GLENDALE, CA 91204) WHERE IT WAS ACKNOWLEDGED THAT THE DEALER WAS FAMILIAR WITH THE DEATH WOBBLE FAILURE. THE CONTACT WAS REFERRED TO THE MANUFACTURER FOR ASSISTANCE. THE MANUFACTURER ALSO STATED THAT THE FAILURE WAS FAMILIAR AND THAT ENGINEERS WERE WORKING ON A REMEDY TO REPLACE THE POWER STEERING GEAR BOX. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 18,000.

Mileage: 23,000

ON HUNDREDS OF OCCASIONS THE LAST THREE YEARS OF OWNERSHIP, I HAVE HAD SERIOUS STEERING PROBLEMS WITH DEATH WOBBLE, STEERING WANDER, AND LOCKED-UP STEERING. DEALERS HAVE PERFORMED WARRANTY WORK ON THE TRACK BAR AND STEERING STABILIZER IN THE PAST. HOWEVER, THESE REMEDIES HAVE NOT CORRECTED MY ISSUES. JEEP HAS ANNOUNCED A SERVICE BULLETIN OF THE STEERING BOX, BUT HAS NOT ISSUED A RECALL FOR THE PART. I'M PERSUADED THAT THIS PART IS RESPONSIBLE FOR HUNDREDS OF COUNTS OF THIS ISSUE. THE PART HAS BEEN SILENTLY USED IN NEWER PRODUCTION JEEPS, BUT FOR THOSE OF US THAT HAVE THE FIRST MODEL YEAR (AND OVER BASIC WARRANTY MILEAGE) ARE LEFT WITH THIS BURDEN. I PERSISTENTLY HAVE LOCKED-UP STEERING, MORE OFTEN PRONE IN A COLDER CLIMATE, AND HAVE HAD HUNDREDS OF NEAR-DEATH EXPERIENCES FROM THIS ISSUE. THE STEERING WHEEL IS DIFFICULT TO TURN AND AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS THE VEHICLE IS UNABLE TO BE TURNED. WITH ENOUGH FORCE AND SIGNIFICANT BRAKING I AM ABLE TO FREE THE STEERING FROM CENTER INTO THE DIRECTION OF TRAVEL. MANY TIMES THE VEHICLE PERFORMS AN OVER CORRECTION AFTER BECOMING UNSTUCK. I PERSONALLY FEEL DEATHLY AFRAID OF MY JEEP AND HAVE RECENTLY CANCELLED UPCOMING TRIPS INTO COLORADO'S MOUNTAINS BECAUSE I HAVE HAD EXPERIENCES ON THE MOUNTAIN PASSES THIS WINTER THAT HAVE BEEN TOO TERRIFYING. I'M READY TO SELL MY JEEP, BUT KNOWING OF ITS PROBLEM, I'D BE DEVASTATED TO FIND OUT MY VEHICLE KILLED THE NEXT OWNER. IT'S ABSURD THAT MYSELF AND MUCH OF THE JEEP WRANGLER COMMUNITY HAVE HAD TO RELY SOLELY ON THE AFTERMARKET INDUSTRY TO REPLACE STOCK COMPONENTS IN ORDER TO FEEL COMFORTABLE OPERATING OUR VEHICLES - JEEP SHOULD BE FULLY RESPONSIBLE FOR THEIR FAILED ENGINEERING. FOR CONTEXT, I HAVE UPGRADED THE TRACK BAR, DRAG LINK, TIE ROD AND OTHERS TO INDUSTRY-BEST COMPONENTS IN AN ATTEMPT TO ADDRESS THESE ISSUES AFTER JEEP'S WARRANTY REPLACEMENTS COULDN'T. JEEP MUST FIX THESE STEERING ISSUES!

THIS JEEP WRANGLER UNLIMITED RUBICON WAS PURCHASED USED WITH 26000 MILES. ON THE TEST DRIVE IT SEEMED OK HOWEVER, ON THE DRIVE HOME AFTER PURCHAST (ABOUT 90 MILES) I NOTICED THAT THE STEERING WANDERED. AT TIMES IT WAS DIFFICULT TO KEEP IN THE CORRECT LANE ON THE INTERSTATE WITHOUT VERY CLOSE ATTENTION AND CONSTANT CORRECTION. VERY IRRITATING AND TIREING. THINKING IT WAS MAYBE WIND, (I TRADED A 2013 JEEP UNLIMITED RUBICON) I LATER DROVE IT ON A DAY WITH NO WIND. IT DID THE SAME WANDERING. THERE IS SOMETHING UNUSUAL ABOUT THE STEERING OF THIS VEHICLE.

WHILE DRIVING ON HIGHWAY THE STEERING WHEEL BECAME STIFF FOR ABOUT A COUPLE OF SECONDS,WHEN IT GOT BACK TO NORMAL IT CORRECTED INTO INCOMING TRAFFIC, I NEARLY HIT INCOMING TRAFFIC,IT WAS PRETTY SCARY CAUSE THE STEERING WAS VERY HARD AND STIFF , I WAS TRYING TO CORRECT THE VEHICLE CAUSE IT WAS MOVING TOWARDS THE LEFT EVEN THOUGH I WAS TRYING TO CORRECT IT TO THE RIGHT, WHEN IT LOOSENED UP IT JERKED HARD TO THE LEFT TO INCOMING TRAFFIC,THANKFULLY THERE WAS NO INCOMING TRAFFIC AT THE TIME, ALSO I NOTICED THAT WHEN I PUT THE TRANSMISSION IN GEAR THERE'S NO MOVEMENT, IT ACTS LIKE IT'S IN NEUTRAL, I HAVE TO PUT IT BACK IN PARK AND RESHIFT

Mileage: 5,200

I FEEL VERY UNSAFE TRYING TO KEEP MY JEEP GOING DOWN THE ROAD IN A STRAIGHT LINE. THE STEERING RANDOMLY AND OFTEN WANTS TO JUST TAKE OFF TO EITHER SIDE OR THE OTHER ON PERFECTLY SMOOTH ROADS AND GENERALLY 'WANDERS' FOR NO REASON. I PRETTY MUCH DREAD IT WHEN I NEED TO DRIVE IT NOW. IT'S BASICALLY A FIGHT.

Mileage: 36,000

VEHICLES STEERING GETS A FLIGHTY/WANDERING FEELING AS SPEED INCREASES 40+ MPH, ESPECIALLY ON SECONDARY ROADS. WHEN DRIVING AROUND CURVES OR OVER ANY ABNORMALITY IN THE ROAD THE JEEP WILL WANDER OUT OF ITS LANE AND THEN THE PLAY IN THE STEERING MAKES IT DIFFICULT TO GET IT BACK IN A CONTROLLED MANNER. THE CONSTANT WANDERING REQUIRES CONSTANT INPUT FROM THE OPERATOR TO KEEP THE VEHICLE CENTERED. JEEP KNOWS THAT THERE IS AN ISSUE WITH THE STEERING BOXES IN THE 2018-2010 JL' AND JT'S, AND HAS ISSUED A TSB IN REFERENCE TO THIS, BUT GETTING THEM TO REPLACE THE STEERING BOX IS A HUGE HASSLE AS IT SEEMS MOST DEALERSHIPS ARE DEBUNKING THIS TSB.

Mileage: 27,000

SO TODAY IT'S A LITTLE ON THE COLD SIDE. I JUMPED INTO THE JEEP AND ONTO THE HIGHWAY AND GET UP TO 60MPH. THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME DECIDES TO PRETTY MUCH STOP IN MY LANE. VERY LITTLE TIME TO REACT, I TRY TO TURN INTO THE LANE TO MY RIGHT AND THE STEERING FEELS REALLY STIFF LIKE THE TIRE IS AGAINST SOMETHING THEN SUDDENLY THERE IS NO RESISTANCE CAUSING ME TO OVERCORRECT AND NEARLY LOSE CONTROL OF THE JEEP. SITTING ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD, THE STEERING FEELS NORMAL. I SPEED BACK UP AND AS I GET UP TO AROUND 50-60MPH THE STEERING SUDDENLY FEELS VERY TIGHT AGAIN, NOT WANTING TO TURN MORE THAN 15-20 DEGREES, THEN IT GOES AWAY AND A BIT FURTHER DOWN THE ROAD IT SUDDENLY COMES BACK. I THINK LITEBRITE HAD A VIDEO OF THIS A WHILE BACK. I'VE NEVER HAD ANY STEERING ISSUES WITH MY JL. IT DRIVES ABSOLUTELY GREAT BUT I HAVE TO SAY THIS IS TERRIFYING BECAUSE IT FELT LIKE SOMEONE WAS HOLDING THE STEERING WHEEL TO PREVENT ME FROM TURNING AND THEN SUDDENLY JUST LET GO CAUSING OVER CORRECTION.

Mileage: 34,950

STEERING DAMPER RECALL WAS COMPLETED I'M STILL EXPERIENCING THE "DEATH WOBBLE".VEHICLE HAD BEEN TO DEALERSHIP 6 TIMES AND GET TOLD EVERY TIME THAT EVERYTHING LOOKS GOOD. PROBLEM OCCURS WHEN I HIT A BUMP OR A ROUGH SPOT ON THE ROAD AND THE VEHICLE AND STEERING WHEEL BEGIN TO SHAKE LIKE THE VEHICLE IS JUMPING ON THE ROAD. TYPICALLY OCCURS WHEN TRAVELING OVER 50 MPH AND ONLY CORRECTS AFTER YOU SLOW DOWN. ISSUE CONTINUES TO HAPPEN AND AND I FEEL THE VEHICLE IS UNSAFE AND CAN POSE A LIFE THREATENING.

Mileage: 9,804

JUST GOT THIS JEEP USED FROM JEEP DEALERSHIP BACK IN JULY. I USUALLY DON'T DRIVE OVER 60 BECAUSE OF THE SPEED LIMITS AROUND HERE. BUT I JUST DID WHEN I WENT TO GO VISIT FAMILY 2 HOURS AWAY AND MY STEERING WHEEL SEEMED TO LOCK UP WHEN I WENT ANYWHERE FROM 60/70MPH. I HAD TO JERK THE STEERING WHEEL SLIGHTLY TO ONE SIDE SO I COULD DRIVE ON A BENDED PORTION OF THE ROAD. IT'S NOT LISTED AS A RECALL BUT THIS IS SERIOUSLY CONCERNING TO ME. I THOUGHT IT WAS JUST THAT ONE TIME BUT I TEST IT OUT WHEN I DROVE BACK HOME AND THE LAST 6 TIMES I WENT TO VISIT AND THE EXACT SAME THING HAPPENS EVERY TIME. MOST RECENT TIME IT HAPPENED WAS YESTERDAY AND MY UNCLE SAID TO REPORT IT.

I'VE NEVER SEEN A VEHICLE SHAKE SO VIOLENTLY AS IF THE ENTIRE FRONT END WAS ABOUT TO FALL OUT FROM UNDER THE CAR ANY SECOND. NOT A SAFETY ISSUE, I THINK IT DEFINITELY IS A SAFETY ISSUE. 3 LANE HIGHWAY, 70 MPH, CARS ON EVERY SIDE OF YOU AND YOU HAVE TO SLAM ON BRAKES, OR THE INSTINCT IS TO SLAM ON BRAKES BECAUSE YOU DON'T KNOW IF YOU ARE ABOUT TO DIE OR NOT. PLEASE INVESTIGATE THIS FRONT END ISSUE WITH JEEP WRANGLER.

MY JEEP HAS A "DEATH WOBBLE" THAT HAPPENS IN EXCESS OF 50 MILES AN HOUR IF THE JEEP HITS ROUGH ROAD, UNEVEN PAVEMENT OR GOING INTO A CURVE ON THE INTERSTATE, IT WILL BEGIN TO SHAKE SO VIOLENTLY ITS AS THOUGH THERE IS A MINI EARTHQUAKE INSIDE THE JEEP. IT IS TERRIFYING. THERE HAS BEEN A RECALL FOR THIS ISSUE, BUT AFTER TAKING MY JEEP TO TWO DIFFERENT JEEP DEALERSHIPS IN TWO DIFFERENT STATES, THEY HAVE BEEN UNABLE TO FIX THIS ISSUE. NOTE THIS IS AN ONGOING ISSUE SINCE I BOUGHT THE JEEP IN 2019, IT SEEMED TO GET BETTER AFTER I TOOK IT IN FOR THE ORIGINAL RECALL, BUT SINCE OCT 2020 HAS PROGRESSIVELY GOTTEN WORSE AFTER THE JEEP DEALERSHIP HAS WORKED ON IT. SINCE OCT 2020 AND AS OF NOV 28 2020, I HAVE TAKEN THE JEEP TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR THIS ISSUE 3 TIMES, I WILL HAVE A 4TH UNDER MY BELT WHEN THEY RECEIVE SOME OTHER PART THEY SAY THEY JUST FOUND AND NEED TO CORRECT THIS ISSUE.

IT WAS IMMEDIATELY AFTER A TURN. CAUSE OF ISSUE IS UNKNOWN. THE DAY BEFORE, THE BATTERY VOLTAGE WARNING LIGHT HAD COME ON. I DID SOME BASIC DIAGNOSTICS AND DID NOT LOCATE AN ISSUE WITH THE BATTERY CONNECTIONS OR BATTERY ITSELF.

LUCKILY, AT THIS TIME, THERE WAS NO ONE BEHIND ME BUT THERE ARE SO MANY PLACES ALONG THE TURNPIKE WHERE YOU'RE JAMMED BETWEEN CONCRETE BARRIERS, IT COULD HAVE BEEN VERY SCARY.

DRIVER HAS TO CONTINUOUSLY INPUT STEERING CORRECTIONS WHILE DRIVING IN ORDER TO MAINTAIN A STRAIGHT LINE WHICH BECOMES EXTREMELY EXHAUSTING IN LONGER DRIVING TRIPS. ISSUE HAS BEEN EXPERIENCED SINCE FIRST PURCHASE IN APRIL OF 2020 BUT DRIVER ASSUMED IT WAS JUST NORMAL DRIVING OPERATIONS. AFTER FURTHER RESEARCH IT IS A COMMON ISSUES WITH OTHER LIKE VEHICLES.

WHILE DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE AT APPROX 70 MPH, THE ASPHALT AREA AROUND AN OVERPASS IS A LITTLE HIGH, AND WHEN OUR FRONT TIRES MADE CONTACT WITH THE UNEVEN SURFACE, THE CAR IMMEDIATELY BEGAN TO VIOLENTLY SHAKE AND WOBBLE FOR OVER 45 SECONDS TO A MINUTE, AND THE STEERING WHEEL WOBBLED EXCESSIVELY WHILE I WAS TRYING TO TROUBLESHOOT THE MALFUNCTION, AND MAINTAIN CONTROL OF THE JEEP. I PROCEEDED TO SLOW FOR TO APPROX 40 MPH USING MY BRAKES LIGHTLY, AND MAINTAINING A GRIP ON THE STEERING WHEEL WHICH I COULD BARELY HOLD ONTO AND THE OSCILLATIONS, WENT AWAY. I RESUMED ACCELERATION BACK TO 65-70 MPH, AND AGAIN ENCOUNTERED SOME MORE UNEVEN PAVEMENT. THE ENTIRE EPISODE RE-OCCURED AND WAS SO VIOLENT THAT I NEEDED TO PULL OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND SHUTDOWN THE CAR AND VISUALLY INSPECT FOR DAMAGE. THE SHAKING WAS SO VIOLENT, I THOUGHT SOMETHING MIGHT HAVE BROKEN, OR THE TIRES WERE ABOUT TO FALL OFF. THIS CAR HAS APPROX 16,000 MILES, AND NEVER HAD ANY DAMAGE. THIS IS THE 6TH TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED.IN THE PAST TWO YEARS AND IT ONLY HAPPENS ON TARMAC TYPE SURFACES, WHILE GOING 60-75 MPH.

THE ENTIRE TIME THE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION REQUIRES CONSTANT STEERING CORRECTION BY THE DRIVER, AND IT IS WORSE ON NARROW ROADS WITH ONCOMING TRAFFIC BECAUSE IT FEELS LIKE THE VEHICLE COULD WANDER INTO THE ONCOMING LANE. THIS HAS BEEN AT THE DEALER FOR A WARRANTY REPAIR AND A TSB WAS SUPPOSEDLY COMPLETED, BUT THE PROBLEM PERSISTS. I HAVE BEEN WITHOUT THE VEHICLE FOR WELL OVER 15 DAYS AT THIS POINT OVER 3 DIFFERENT VISITS FOR THE SAME ISSUE. THERE WAS A LOT OF PLAY OR A "DEAD SPOT" IN THE STEERING BEFORE THEY WERE ABLE TO TIGHTEN THAT UP AND IT NO LONGER HAS THIS, BUT THE CONSTANT DRIFTING FROM SIDE TO SIDE IN THE TRAFFIC LANE FEELS VERY UNSAFE AND IS QUITE FATIGUING WHEN DRIVING MORE THAN 20-30 MINUTES, AS THE DRIVER HAS TO HOLD ON TIGHTLY TO THE STEERING WHEEL AND MAKE CORRECTIONS CONSTANTLY. IT ALMOST FEELS LIKE THE VEHICLE IS DRIVING ON ICE, AND IT'S A REAL CHALLENGE TO MAINTAIN A STRAIGHT TRACK. THIS VEHICLE HAS HAD NO MODIFICATIONS OTHER THAN WHEELS AND TIRES, AND THE PROBLEM EXISTED WITH THE OEM WHEELS AND TIRES. NO SUSPENSION OR LIFT KIT, OR ANY OTHER TYPE OF MODIFICATIONS HAVE BEEN DONE ON THIS VEHICLE AND IT HAS APPROXIMATELY 20K MILES ON IT. PLEASE HELP US!

SINCE PURCHASE THE STEERING WANDERS EXCESSIVELY, THIS LEADS TO DRIVER FATIGUE ON LONGER TRIPS BECAUSE I AM CONSTANTLY HAVING TO MAKE ADJUSTMENTS TO KEEP THE VEHICLE CENTERED. EVEN WITH THOSE ADJUSTMENTS WHEN ON A LONGER TURN ON THE INTERSTATE THE VEHICLE IS JUST NOT RESPONSIVE TO INPUT TO MAINTAIN A SMOOTH RADIUS TURN. I DON'T HAVE ANY SORT OF SHIMMY OR SHAKE AND I'VE HAD IT TO MY DEALER FOR INSPECTION, EVEN PAID FOR AN ALIGNMENT OUT OF POCKET BECAUSE I WAS CONCERNED. I KNOW HAVE 42K MILES ON IT AND JUST OUT OF MANUFACTURER WARRANTY AND FCA HAS ISSUED A TSB FOR REPLACING THE STEERING GEAR FOR THIS EXACT REASON HOWEVER, BECAUSE THIS ISN'T CONSIDERED A POWERTRAIN COMPONENT OR A SAFETY ISSUE I AM OUT OF LUCK. THIS ISSUE IS DESERVING OF MORE ATTENTION DUE TO THE NEAR UNCOOPERATIVE AND UNCHARACTERISTIC STEERING BEHAVIOR.

THE CURRENT WRANGLERS HAVE A SIGNIFICANT PROBLEM WITH STEERING. BECAUSE JEEP USED ALUMINUM STEERING BOX AND GEARS, AS OPPOSED TO STEEL, THERE IS AN UNACCEPTABLE AMOUNT OF "PLAY" IN THE STEERING, SPECIFICALLY ON CENTER. WHILE DRIVING AT 45MPH OR ABOVE, I CAN TURN THE WHEEL ALMOST A FULL INCH IN EITHER DIRECTION AND THE CAR DOES NOT RESPOND AT ALL. THERE OTHER DAY I WAS ON A HIGHWAY WITH UNEVEN PAVEMENT AND HAD TO SLOW DOWN SIGNIFICANTLY BECAUSE I COULD NOT CONTROL THE CAR. JEEP HAS NOW ISSUED A TSB REPLACING THE ALUMINUM BOX WITH A STEEL BOX. THE VAST MAJORITY OF PEOPLE HAVING THIS TSB PERFORMED STATE IT FIXES THE STEERING. I TOOK MY JEEP INTO MY DEALERSHIP 3 WEEKS AGO, WHILE HAVING JEEPCARES, THE NATIONAL CUSTOMER SERVICE FOR FCA, INVOLVED FROM THE START. FIRST THE DEALERSHIP TOLD ME THEY COULDN'T DO ANYTHING BECAUSE I HAD AN "AFTERMARKET" LIFT. WHEN I TOLD THEN THE LIFT WAS NOT AFTERMARKET AND IS MOPAR, THEY DEMANDED A RECEIPT TO PROVE IT. I BOUGHT THE LIFT OVER 1.5 YEARS AGO SO NO LONGER HAD A RECEIPT. THE ISSUE WAS ESCALATED UP THE CORPORATE LADDER MULTIPLE TIMES UNTIL THEY FINALLY AGREED TO REPLACE THE STEERING BOX UNDER WARRANTY. THERE HAD BEEN INSTANCES OF JEEP OWNERS COMING IN FOR THIS TSB BUT DEALERSHIPS WERE NOT REPLACING THE STEERING BOX WITH THE STEEL VERSION PER THE TSB, JUST PUTTING IN ANOTHER ALUMINUM BOX. THAT'S EXACTLY WHAT HAPPENED TO ME. THE MAIN POINT OF THIS IS THIS STEERING ABSOLUTELY NEEDS TO BE A RECALL. THE DEALERSHIPS ARE PUTTING FORTH EVERY EFFORT NOT TO DO THE WORK. AND THE PROBLEM IS SO BAD THAT FCA IS ONLY LETTING DEALERSHIPS ORDER 1 STEERING BOX PER WEEK, DUE TO THE OVERWHELMING NUMBER OF JEEPS WITH DANGEROUS STEERING AND DEMAND FOR THE PART. THERE IS MUCH MORE INFORMATION AND I CAN UPLOAD DOCUMENT IN MY POSSESSION. ANY QUESTIONS, FEEL FREE TO CALL, [XXX].

EVERY TIME I DRIVE ON THE HIGHWAY OVER 45 MPH I HAVE TO PLAY WITH THE STEERING WHEEL BACK AND FORTH AROUND 1 INCH BECAUSE IF I DON'T DO THAT MY WRANGLER PULLS TO LEFT OR RIGHT MOVING OUT THE LANE, I HAVE INFORMED THAT AT DEALERSHIP WHEN I TAKE MY WRANGLER FOR SERVICE AND THEY REPLACED THE STEERING DAMPER BACK IN SEPTEMBER 2019, BUT THE ISSUE STILL NOT FIXED. LAST WEEK I WENT TO A ROAD TRIP OF 6 HOURS DISTANCE AND IT'S VERY FRUSTRATING AND EXHAUSTING TO BE DRIVING THINKING THAT I MUST PLAY WITH THE STEERING WHEEL TO AVOID HAVING AN ACCIDENT.

HELLO - I CURRENTLY HAVE A 2018 JEEP WRANGLER JL. I HAVE BROUGHT THIS VEHICLE TO THE DEALERSHIP SEVERAL TIMES ATTEMPTING TO SOLVE ISSUES WITH STEERING AND THERE HAS BEEN NO SOLUTION. THERE ARE MULTIPLE COMPLAINTS ONLINE THAT MENTION THE LOOSE STEERING IN THE 2018 MODELS. WHILE DRIVING AT SPEEDS PAST 50MPH THERE IS A SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT OF ROAD WANDER, STEERING WHEEL PLAY AND LACK OF CONTROL WITH THE VEHICLE. THE DEALERSHIP HAS REJECTED THIS STATING THAT THIS IS SIMPLE "A JEEP THING." I AM NOT SURE WHERE ELSE TO TURN AND AM ACTIVELY HOPING TO FIND A SOLUTION FOR THIS. THANK YOU.

EXCESSIVE PLAY IN STEERING WHEEL. THERE IS A DEAD ZONE FROM 1-2" LEFT AND RIGHT. VERY HARD TO STEER ON HIGHWAYS AND THE JEEP WANDERS FROM LEFT TO RIGHT. DID NOT DRIVE LIKE THIS BEFORE AND I'VE HAD IT FOR TWO YEARS. AFFECTS IT AT ALL SPEEDS BUT IS ESPECIALLY DANGEROUS ON THE HIGHWAY.

I WAS DRIVING THE SERVICE DRIVE OF A MAJOR FREEWAY IN DETROIT GOING ABOUT 30 MPH. I WAS DRIVING STRAIGHT..NO TURNS. ALL OF A SUDDEN THE STEERING WHEEL BEGAN TO SHAKE VIOLENTLY.

THERE IS SOME TYPE OF ISSUE WITH THE STEERING WHICH CAUSES THE DRIVER TO KEEP ADJUSTING THE STEERING WHEEL CONSTANTLY. THIS ISSUE OCCURS AT LOW AND HIGH SPEEDS BOTH ON HIGHWAYS AND CITY STREETS. IT CAN FEEL LIKE THE JEEP WRANGLER IS DIFFICULT TO CONTROL AND REQUIRES A VERY ATTENTIVE DRIVER.

EVERY SINGLE DAY I DRIVE MY JEEP I CONSTANTLY HAVE TO CORRECT MY STEERING BECAUSE IT'S CONSTANTLY WANDERING IN THE LANE, I'M AFRAID AN OFFICER IS GOING TO PULL ME OVER BECAUSE THEY MAY BELIEVE I'M DRIVING DRUNK.

I WAS ON THE 15 FREEWAY, CHANGING TO THE LANE ON MY RIGHT, SO I CAN THEN EXIT THE FREEWAY. ALL OF A SUDDEN THE JEEP STARTED SHAKING HARD. I GOT SO SCARED AND PUT MY HAZARD LIGHTS ON WHILE MAKING THE LANE CHANGE. STILL SHAKING AS I MADE MY EXIT. IT STOPPED AS I CAME TO A STOP AT THE LIGHT SIGNAL. I WENT STRAIGHT TO THE ONTARIO CA JEEP DEALER. 6/3/2020 THEY SAID IT WAS THE STEERING DAMPER THAT HAD ALREADY BEEN REPLACED, NEEDS TO BE REPLACED AGAIN AND THAT JEEP IS COVERING THE COST BUT THE PART IS ON BACKORDER AND THERE ISN'T AN ETA. THEY RESERVED A RENTAL CAR FOR ME THROUGH ENTERPRISE BUT I HAVE TO PUT DOWN THE $50.00 DEPOSIT AND PAY THE DAILY SALES TAX. I'M SCARED TO DRIVE MY JEEP ESPECIALLY SINCE THIS PART HAS ALREADY BEEN REPLACED.

THE VEHICLE HAS ABOUT TWO INCHES OF LOOSE PLAY IN THE STEERING WHEEL, LEFT AND RIGHT OF CENTER. THIS IS TRUE WHETHER THE VEHICLE IS STATIONARY, IN MOTION OR EVEN IF THE VEHICLE IS ON A LIFT WITH THE WHEELS OFF THE GROUND. THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN TO THREE DEALERS AND TWO PRIVATE REPAIR FACILITIES AS WELL AS A CASE WITH JEEP WAVE. THE FIRST DEALER THREATENED TO VOID MY FACTORY WARRANTY. THE SECOND PUT A RESTRICTION ON THE FACTORY WARRANTY AND JEEP WAVE DROPPED THE CASE. THE DEALER I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE FROM GOT APPROVAL TO REPLACE THE STEERING GEAR DESPITE THE RESTRICTION. THE PROBLEM IS STILL NOT FIXED AND THEY SAID THEY CANNOT FIND ANYTHING ELSE WRONG WITH IT. THE OTHER DEALERS AND THE JEEP CORPORATION HAVE REFUSED TO FIX THE PROBLEM.

THIS WENT ON FOR 10 MINUTES WHERE I COULD BARELY LEAN LEFT IT. ALL OF THE SUDDENLY THE STEERING WHEEL CORRECTED ITSELF AND THE VEHICLE JUMPED TO THE LEFT CAUSING ME TO ALMOST HIT ANOTHER VEHICLE.

EXPERIENCING INTERMITTENT VIOLENT SHAKING AT SPEEDS BETWEEN 45 &50 MPH MAKING IT VERY DIFFICULT TO CONTROL THE STEERING. VEHICLE NEEDS TO BE BROUGHT TO A STOP FOR ISSUE TO BE CORRECTED. IT IS HAPPENING ON A WEEKLY BASIS. THE ISSUE STARTED AFTER HAVING THE DAMPER REPLACED WHICH WAS DONE DUE TO A RECALL. AFTER THE FIRST INCIDENT THE DEALER REPLACED THE STEERING DAMPER AGAIN AND IT HAS CONTINUED TO HAPPEN. WE HAVE CONTACTED FCA AND TRIED WORKING W/ OUR DEALERSHIP TO GET RESOLVED BUT THE BEST ANSWER WE HAVE RECEIVED IS TRY NEW TIRES AND KEEP DRIVING IT UNTIL IT HAPPENS AGAIN THEN TAKE IT BACK. AFTER RESEARCHING IT LOOKS LIKE THIS HAS BEEN A PROBLEM WITH MANY OTHER 2018 JEEP OWNERS THAT EXPERIENCING SIMILAR RESULTS AFTER CHANGING OUT THE DAMPER MULTIPLE TIMES. I FEEL THIS IS AN UNSAFE VEHICLE THAT JEEP IS NOT WILLING TO TAKE THE TIME TO CORRECTLY DIAGNOSE AND FIX THE ISSUE.

I DRIVE ON THE HIGHWAY TO WORK AND I HAVE A HARD TIME CONTROLLING THE JEEP IN A STRAIGHT LINE.TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AND THEY SAID NOTHING WAS WRING AND THATS JUST HOW THEY ARE.

THE STEERING ISSUE BEGAN AS A SHUTTER AND VIBRATION AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS WHEN GOING OVER A BUMP OR A RUT. THE DEALERSHIP HAS TAKEN THE VEHICLE IN AND KEPT IT ON THREE SEPARATE OCCASIONS. THE ISSUE HAS SUBSIDED A BIT BUT NOW THE VEHICLE'S ALIGNMENT IS OFF AND THE STEERING IS VERY LOOSE. YOU HAVE TO KEEP THE STEERING WHEEL TURNED TO THE ONE O'CLOCK POSITION, TO THE RIGHT, WHILE DRIVING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS OR THE JEEP WILL DRIVE OFF OF THE LEFT SIDE OF THE ROAD. THE VEHICLE CONSTANTLY DRIFTS WHILE DRIVING SO YOU NEED TO MANEUVER THE WHEEL BACK AND FORTH CONSTANTLY TO KEEP THE JEEP ON THE ROAD. THE WHEEL IS SLOPPY WITH A LOT OF PLAY FOR THE FIRST INCH OR TWO ON EITHER SIDE. THE DEALER HAS NOT BEEN ABLE TO FIX THIS ISSUE AND IT IS AN ABSOLUTE SAFETY HAZARD. THIS IS MY ONLY PERSONAL VEHICLE SO I DON'T HAVE ANOTHER OPTION. I PURCHASED THE JEEP BRAND NEW AND IT HAS NEVER BEEN IN AN ACCIDENT OR ABUSED. THIS JEEP NEEDS TO BE RECALLED OR REPLACED. IT IS UNACCEPTABLE THAT BEST JEEP CHRYSLER IN PLYMOUTH, MA WON'T CORRECT THE ISSUE OR REPLACE THE JEEP. THE FM RADIO, BLUETOOTH, AND CLOCK ARE ALSO BROKEN AND THEY HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO FIX THAT EITHER.

Mileage: 26,000

JUST PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE AND PICKED UP ON 2/14/20 AND HAVE EXPERIENCED VIOLENT "DEATH WOBBLE". CALLED THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID IT WAS FROM MY LIFT THAT I JUST HAD INSTALLED. AFTER A RE-CHECK, THE PLACE THAT DID THE LIFT STATED THERE WAS NOTHING WRONG WITH THE LIFT. I CONTINUED TO EXPERIENCE THE WOBBLE FROM THAT POINT ON AND TILL THIS DAY. WOBBLE WILL OCCUR AT ANY SPEED UNDER 50 MPH, HOWEVER, I AM ABLE TO SLOW DOWN AND EVENTUALLY GAIN CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE IF UNDER THAT SPEED LIMITS. CANNOT CONTROL VEHICLE WHEN ENGAGES IN WOBBLE OVER 50-55 MPH. TOOK ME INTO ONCOMING TRAFFIC ON HIGHWAY, NO CONTROL OF STEERING, BRAKING WAS INEFFECTIVE, STEERING WHEEL SHAKING VIOLENTLY AND COULD NOT GRIP AND I HAD TO WAIT FOR THE VEHICLE TO COME TO A STOP ON ITS OWN (ON THE HIGHWAY) IN ORDER FOR IT TO COME OUT OF THAT CONDITION. VERY DANGEROUS AND I AM LUCKY THAT I WAS NOT KILLED THAT DAY. SINCE THEN, I DO NOT DRIVE OVER 50-55 MILES PER HOUR. IT FELT LIKE THE TIRES WERE GOING TO DETACH FROM THE VEHICLE AND THE VEHICLE WAS GOING TO FALL APART RIGHT THERE ON THE ROAD. FOR THE LESS AGGRESSIVE WOBBLES THAT ARE EXPERIENCED EACH TIME I DRIVE, I DO NOT FEEL COMFORTABLE HAVING ANYBODY IN THE VEHICLE WITH ME BECAUSE I AM SCARED FOR THEIR SAFETY. I JUST BROUGHT TO AUTO REPAIR SHOP TODAY AND THEY SAID THE STEERING STABILIZER WAS WORN OUT AND NEEDED REPLACEMENT. I LOOKED UP A RECALL FROM JUNE 2019 AND IT STATED THAT THIS WAS COMPLETED FOR MY VEHICLE. APPEARS THIS IS GOING TO BE THE 2ND REPLACEMENT SINCE JUNE FOR THE STABILIZER.

IN JULY OF 19 I PURCHASED MY 2018 JEEP WRANGLER SPORT S 4DR FROM A LOCAL DEALERSHIP. ABOUT 1000 MILES INTO OWNERSHIP I BEGAN NOTICING LOOSE STEERING WITH EXCESSIVE PLAY. I TOOK THE JEEP IN FOR SERVICE AND A FLASH TSB WAS PERFORMED, THE PROBLEM WAS BETTER, BUT STILL PRESENT. AT THE SAME TIME I WAS ALSO PART OF THE WELD RECALL NO REPAIR NEEDED. I STARTED NOTICING SHUTTERING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS AFTER HITTING BUMPS. I HAD THE SUSPENSION CHECKED WHEN I WENT IN FOR THE SECOND WELD RECALL NOTICE ON MY JEEP IN 01/19, IT WAS OK ACCORDING TO THE DEALERSHIP. 02/19 I EXPERIENCED EXCESSIVE VIBRATION/SHUTTERING OF THE FRONTEND AFTER HITTING A BUMP AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. DID NOT STOP UNTIL I SLOWED TO ABOUT 40MPH. TOOK TO DEALERSHIP, AN UPGRADED STEERING DAMPENER WAS PLACED ON THE VEHICLE. SHUTTERING CONTINUED. 10/19 SHUTTERING GETS WORSE. WHILE DRIVING ABOUT 55MPH STEERING LOCKS UP ON A CURVE TWO TIMES, LIKE THE POWER STEERING DROPPED FOR A COUPLE SECONDS THEN RETURNED. TAKEN TO THE SHOP, DAMPENER REPLACED AGAIN, CANT DUPLICATE LOCK UP. I CONTACTED JEEP CARES AND FCA. 11/19 VEHICLE IS TAKEN TO THE SHOP AGAIN FOR 2 WEEKS. SHOP ACKNOWLEDGES STEERING IS LOOSER THAN IT SHOULD BE. STEERING GEAR IS REPLACED. AFTER GETTING VEHICLE BACK STEERING IS TIGHT BUT NOW WANDERING ALL OVER THE PLACE, CANT KEEP JEEP IN A STRAIGHT LINE ESPECIALLY AT HIGH SPEED. 12/19 VEHICLE IS TAKEN BACK TO SHOP ALIGNMENT IS PERFORMED. AFTER A COUPLE HUNDRED MILES I NOTICE STEERING IS LOOSE AND THERE IS A DEAD SPOT IN THE STEERING AGAIN. I RELAY THIS TO FCA. 01/19 FCA REGIONAL TECH DRIVES VEHICLE, SAYS ITS DRIVING AS DESIGNED, CHECKS ALIGNMENT AND ADJUSTS CASTER. PROBLEMS WITH LOOSE STEERING AND DEADSPOT PERSIST. JEEPS DEGREE OF WANDERING DEPENDS ON CONDITIONS SEEMS EVEN MORE DIFFICULT TO OPERATE ON WINDY DAYS THAN IT WAS BEFORE STEERING GEAR CHANGE. TAKES CONSTANT CORRECTIONS TO KEEP IT GOING STRAIGHT.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2018 JEEP WRANGLER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT UNDISCLOSED SPEEDS, THE WENT OVER A BUMP IN THE ROAD AND BECAME DIFFICULT TO CONTROL. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THERE WAS NO WARNING BEFORE, DURING OR AFTER THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO RANDY MARION CHRYSLER DODGE JEEP RAM 2000 US-421, WILKESBORO, NC 28697 WHERE THE VEHICLE WAS DIAGNOSED WITH A DEFECTIVE STEERING DAMPER. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED HOWEVER, THE FAILURE PERSISTED. THE VEHICLE WAS THEN TAKEN TO HENDRICK CHRYSLER DODGE JEEP RAM FIAT OF CONCORD 7630 HENDRICK AUTO PLAZA NW, CONCORD, NC 28027, WHERE THE STEERING DAMPER WAS REPLACED A SECOND TIME HOWEVER, THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED BACK TO HENDRICK CHRYSLER DODGE JEEP RAM FIAT OF CONCORD, WHERE THE VEHICLE WAS TEST DRIVEN BY A TECHNICIAN. THE TECHNICIAN WAS UNABLE TO DUPLICATE THE FAILURE. ON ANOTHER OCCASION WHILE MERGING INTO TRAFFIC AT 55 MPH, THE VEHICLE FISHTAILED. THE CONTACT WAS ABLE TO REGAIN CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE AND DROVE BACK TO THE RESIDENCE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT INFORMED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 10,000.

WHILE DRIVING OUR 2018 WRANGLER JL IN 20-30 DEGREE TEMPERATURE THE STEERING ASSIST LOCKED UP, CAUSING MY WIFE TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE OFF OF THE ROAD WHILE IN A SLOW SWEEPING CURVE. AFTER A SECOND OR TWO THE STEERING RE-ENGAGED AS SHE WAS TRYING TO STEER BACK ONTO THE ROAD AND SHE SUDDENLY VEERED BACK ONTO THE ROAD. A FEW SECONDS LATER IT HAPPENED AGAIN. FORTUNATELY NOTHING WAS STRUCK AND NO ONE WAS INJURED. AFTER THE VEHICLE CONTINUED TO WARM UP THE LOCKUP DID NOT OCCUR AGAIN. THIS WAS 3 WEEKS AGO. TWO DAYS AGO, WHILE STARTING OUT DRIVING IN MID 30 DEGREE TEMPERATURES THE STEERING AGAIN LOCKED UP FOR ABOUT A SECOND BEFORE REENGAGING. ALL INSTANCES OCCURRED AFTER THE JEEP WAS SITTING OUTSIDE IN THE COLD AND STARTED FOR THE FIRST TIME THAT DAY. BOTH EVENTS OCCURRED WITHIN THE FIRST 4-5 MINUTES OF DRIVING AT SPEEDS IN THE 45-50MPH RANGE WHILE MAKING TURNS TO THE WHEEL. THE BIG DANGER HERE IS THAT IF THE VEHICLE IS IN A TURN AND THE STEERING GOES OUT, THE DRIVER COULD TRY AND TURN HARD ON THE STEERING WHEEL TO REGAIN CONTROL AND IF THE STEERING ASSIST KICKS BACK IN, AN OVERSTEER SITUATION COULD OCCUR CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO ROLL OVER OR CROSS OVER INTO ONCOMING TRAFFIC. FCA HAS ALREADY ISSUED A TSB FOR THE POSSIBLE PROBLEM (08-092-18) WHICH I WILL NOW CONTACT MY LOCAL DEALER TO SEE IF THEY WILL INVESTIGATE.

WE BOUGHT THIS VEHICLE FROM HOFFER JEEP IN TOPEKA, KS. THE VEHICLE WAS WON BUY A PERSON AT A CASINO EVENT SO WE ARE THE 2ND OWNER. THE VEHICLE HAD, I BELIEVE UNDER 2K MILES, UPON OUR PURCHASE. SINCE, WE HAVE OWNED THE VEHICLE IT HAS CONSISTENTLY HAD A "DEATH WOBBLE". I SIMPLY CANNOT COUNT HOW MANY TIMES AT OR UNDER MANDATED HIGHWAY SPEEDS THIS VEHICLE HAS ENTERED A 'DEATH WOBBLE". THE MOST RECENT WAS FROM RETURNING FROM MANHATTAN KS TO KANSAS CITY THE VEHICLE ENTERED A "DEATH WOBBLE" NO LESS THAN 4 TIMES. THE LAST TIME I WAS DRIVING 5 MILES UNDER THE 75MPH SPEED LIMIT WHEN HITTING SOME ROAD CHATTER, NOTHING SIGNIFICANT, CAUSED UNCONTROLLABLE CHATTER IN FRONT WHEELS, AXLE, GENERATING STRONG VIBRATION THROUGH THE STEERING COLUMN AND WHEEL. I RELEASED THE ACCELERATOR AND THE VEHICLE CAME OUT OF THE "DEATH WOBBLE" AT 27MPH, ON AN INCREDIBLY BUSY HIGHWAY. THIS WAS/IS UNSAFE AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. THE DANGERS IT CAUSED COULD HAVE BEEN CATASTROPHIC IN NATURE AND NEED TO BE ADDRESSED BEFORE SOMEONE IS KILLED. THIS VEHICLE IS STOCK AND HAS NOT HAD ITS SUSPENSION, TIRES, ETC., ADJUSTED OR MANIPULATED IN ANY SHAPE, FASHION, OR FORM. PLEASE ADVISE ON HOW THIS MATTER SHOULD BE DEALT WITH GOING FORWARD? THANKS

DRIVING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS THE VEHICLES STEERING IS DANGEROUS AND IT BECOMES MORE PRONOUNCED IN THE WIND AND IN THE RAIN. IT DRIFTS DANGEROUSLY AND WHEN TRYING TO CORRECT THE DRIFT THE STEERING IS NOT VERY RESPONSIVE SINCE IT HAS WAY TOO MUCH PLAY SO YOU BEGIN TO OVER CORRECT CAUSING EVEN MORE ISSUES. IN THE RAIN THE VEHICLE HAS THE FEEL AS IF IT'S HYDROPLANING AND THE IMPACT FROM THE WETS ROADS AND PUDDLES CAUSES THE VEHICLE TO DRIFT EVEN MORE. I FOUND THAT MANY PEOPLE HAVE RECEIVED REPLACEMENTS OF THE 1.STEERING BOX (68259507AE) 2.THE DAMPER (RECALL 77072360) 3.TRACK BAR (68394087AA) ALL OF THESE PARTS HAVE BEEN UPGRADED BY MOPAR AND I'M GUESSING THAT WAS FOR OBVIOUS REASONS BUT MY DEALERSHIP AND CUSTOMER SERVICE AT JEEP/CHRYSLER REFUSE TO ACKNOWLEDGE THERE IS A PROBLEM YET THE PROBLEM PERSISTS. I SHOWED THEM PROOF IN BOTH VIDEOS AND WITH THE UPGRADED PARTS AND IT DOES NOT SEEM TO MATTER TO THEM THAT THIS IS A DANGEROUS SITUATION.

I HAVE DONE THE RESEARCH AND 1,000'S OF PEOPLE ARE COMPLAINING ABOUT THIS, SOME HAVE A DANGEROUS WOBBLE, SOME HAVE REALLY BAD DRIFT WHERE ITS HARD TO KEEP THE VEHICLE ON THE ROAD AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS, AND SOME HAVE BOTH. FUNNY, I WAS TOLD BY MY DEALERSHIP THAT THIS WAS NORMAL FOR A JEEP AND ITS NOT ACCEPTABLE I TOLD HIM IT FELT DANGEROUS AND HE AGREED IT DRIFTS BUT SAYS THAT NORMAL FOR A JEEP.

THE MORNING OF FEB 6, 2020, I WAS DRIVING MY 2018 JL (APPROX 16K MILEAGE) ON THE HIGHWAY AT ~65 MPH WHEN THE STEERING ALL OF A SUDDEN LOCKED UP GOING INTO A RIGHT BEND IN THE HIGHWAY. SUDDENLY I WAS UNABLE TO TURN THE VEHICLE TO THE RIGHT TO STAY IN THE MIDDLE LANE AND ENDED HALFWAY IN THE LEFT FAST LANE HEADED STRAIGHT FOR THE CONCRETE HIGHWAY MEDIAN BARRIERS. THANK GOODNESS THERE WERE NO CARS ON THE HIGHWAY NEXT TO ME IN THE LEFT LANE THAT THE UNRESPONSIVE STEERING FORCED ME INTO. AFTER I SLOWED DOWN, THE STEERING WENT BACK TO NORMAL AND I WAS ABLE TO GET OVER TO THE RIGHT HAND LANE WITHOUT INCIDENT AND EXIT THE HIGHWAY. I HAVE NOT FELT COMFORTABLE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY OR HAVING MY KIDS IN THE JEEP SINCE. THE STEERING LOCKUP ON THE HIGHWAY WAS FRIGHTENING; I FEEL VERY LUCKY TO HAVE ESCAPED WHAT LOOKED LIKE AN IMMINENT HIGH SPEED HIGHWAY ACCIDENT WITH MY OWN VEHICLE AND POSSIBLY OTHER CARS NEARBY. SEPARATELY, MY HUSBAND AND I HAVE BOTH EXPERIENCED RAPID STEERING OSCILLATION AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS, A JARRING FULL VEHICLE WOBBLE WHEN GOING OVER A BUMP OR CRACK IN THE HIGHWAY. THE LOCAL DEALER WHERE WE BOUGHT THE JEEP HAD ALREADY REPLACED THE STEERING DAMPER DUE TO AN EARLIER RECALL; THE HIGHSPEED STEERING LOCKUP AND OSCILLATION ISSUES HAVE OCCURRED SINCE. I'M NOW WORKING WITH A SECOND LOCAL DEALER WHO HASN'T YET BEEN ABLE TO ISOLATE OR DIAGNOSE THE STEERING PROBLEMS. AS NEXT STEP, THE TECHNICIAN IS SUGGESTING I TAKE THE JEEP BACK OUT ON THE HIGHWAY WITH HIM TO TRY TO RECREATE THE STEERING BINDING/LOCKUP ISSUES ' YIKES!

TIGHT STEERING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS (OVER 60MPH) MOST LIKELY TO HAPPEN IN COLDER TEMPERATURES. TO GIVE YOU AN IDEA: YOU ARE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AND WANT TO SWITCH LANES. IT WILL FEEL AS IF YOUR STEERING WHEEL IS LOCKED AND THAT YOU CANNOT STEER IT TO THE NEXT LANE. YOU WILL HAVE TROUBLE KEEPING YOUR VEHICLE STRAIGHT ON THE HIGHWAY AS WELL, CONSTANTLY VEERING TO THE RIGHT. THIS VEHICLE FEELS VERY DANGEROUS TO DRIVE AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. TOOK THE VEHICLE IN TO THE DEALER 3 TIMES, WITH THE SAME " WE CANNOT REPRODUCE THE ISSUE" RUN AROUND. I AM CERTAIN THAT THERE IS AN ISSUE AND HOPE JEEP (FCA) OWNS UP AND ISSUES A RECALL.

IT IS SCHEDULED TO GO TO INTO DEALERSHIP ON FEB 4TH FOR EVALUATION AND REPAIR IF POSSIBLE.

STEERING WHEEL STIFF IN COLD WEATHER- TEMP DROPPED INTO THE '40S, WENT TO DROP KIDS AT SCHOOL AND THE STEERING WHEEL DID NOT TURN IN A CURVE. IT WAS STIFF AND THEN SUDDENLY WOULD TURN EXTREMELY FAST, WHICH, I FEEL, IS VERY DANGEROUS. THIS IS MY SECOND ATTEMPT WITH THE DEALER WHO SAID THAT THEY CAN'T FIND ANYTHING WRONG. I HAD A SOFTWARE UPDATE PERFORMED THAT IS SUPPOSED TO ADDRESS THIS ISSUE BUT NOTHING. THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE. IT NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED.

Mileage: 2

STABILIZER CONTROL AND THROTTLE CONTROL LIGHT CAME ON. VEHICLE WAS TAKEN IN FOR REPAIR. VEHICLE WAS PICKED UP AND THE STEERING FELT LIGHT. AS I'M DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY I HIT A BUMP AND THE STEERING WHEEL BEGAN TO SHAKE VIOLENTLY. I SLOWED DOWN AND IT STOPPED. I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP AND EXPLAINED WHAT HAPPENED AND I'M GETTING THE RUN AROUND. CLAIM IT COULD BE WARP ROTORS. IT'S NOT WARPED ROTORS AFTER I DID SOME RESEARCH. I FOUND OUT THIS VEHICLE HAS WHAT'S CALLED A DEATH WOBBLE.

Mileage: 21,800

I PURCHASED MY WRANGLER AND ABOUT 4 MONTHS AFTER HAVING IT NOTICED UNCONTROLLABLE SHAKING WHEN GOING OVER 50 MPH ON THE HIGHWAY AND HITTING A BUMP. ONCE THE SHAKING STARTED I WOULD HAVE TO SLOW DOWN TO AT LEAST 45 OR 50 TO GET IT TO STOP. MY WRANGLER HAS BEEN IN THE SHOP 4 TIMES BEFORE FINALLY BEING FIXED. WE ARE GOING ON 6 MONTHS SINCE THIS WAS SUPPOSEDLY FIXED AND IT IS NOW DOING IT AGAIN. HOWEVER NOW IT HAS A SHAKE EVERY TIME I HIT A BUMP NOT JUST WHEN I AM GOING FASTER THAN 50 MPH. I AM GOING TO HAVE TO TAKE MY WRANGLER IN FRO THE 5TH TIME AND HOPE THAT IT GETS FIXED.

WELD QUALITY ON FRAME ARE VERY QUESTIONABLE. WHEN MY JEEP TWISTS WHILE OFF-ROADING, IT SOUNDS LIKE IT WANTS TO TEAR ITSELF APART AND THE DOORS DONT WANT TO SHUT CLOSE WHEN THE VEHICLE IS FULLY FLEXED. THIS DOESN'T HAPPEN TO THE NEWER 2019+ MODELS WITH OBVIOUS BETTER WELDS ON FRAME. IT GETS ANNOYING WITH ALL THE CRUNCHING NOISE THE BODY MAKES WHEN I DRIVE ON UNEVEN ROADS. AGAIN, NOT SEEN ON NEWER MODELS. ALSO, THE STEERING STABILIZER WAS REPLACED AND STILL MY STEERING WHEEL START SHAKING WHEN I DRIVE ON UNEVEN ROADS. I HAVE TAKEN MY JEEP TO THE DEALER 4 TIMES COMPLAINING ABOUT THE RADIO AND IT KEEPS SHUTTING OFF AND VOLUME FREEZING.

VEHICLE WANDERS AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS AND IS VERY HARD TO KEEP IN LANE CONSTANTLY MAKING SMALL ADJUSTMENTS TO KEEP IT BETWEEN WHITE LINES.ANY WIND MAGNIFIES THE PROBLEM. DEALER INSTALLED NEW STEERING STABILIZER AND FLASHED POWER STEERING CPU.HELPED A LITTLE FOR A WHILE.HAVE READ BLOGS AND CHECKED ALIGNMENT CHAMBER AIR PRESSURE ETC.NOTING SEEMS TO HELP. SEEMS TO ME THE POWER STEERING IS WAY TO SENSITIVE WHEN DRIVING STRAIGHT .MY WIFE WON'T DRIVE IT AND WHEN I DRIVE I HAVE TO FOCUS WITHOUT DISTRACTIONS TO KEEP IT ON THE ROAD. VERY DANGEROUS TO BE ON THE ROAD .WOULD LIKE A CASE NUMBER TO SEE IF I CAN THE THE PROBLEM RESOLVED

I AM BECOMING INCREASINGLY CONCERNED WITH THE STEERING ISSUE IN MY 2018 JL RUBICON. THE RECALL ON THE STEERING DAMPENER WAS PERFORMED 06/06/19. THE VEHICLE IS LIGHTLY DRIVEN BUT LATELY HAS SEEN MORE MILEAGE. UNFORTUNATELY THE REPLACEMENT DAMPENER DID NOT CORRECT THE WANDERING AND DRIFTING ISSUE. THE VEHICLE WILL NOT TRACK STRAIGHT AND MUST BE STEERED ALL THE TIME TO REMAIN IN A LANE CONSISTENTLY. AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS THE STEERING ISSUE IS VERY PRONOUNCED. IT BECOMES DIFFICULT TO KEEP THE VEHICLE TRACKING STRAIGHT WITH THE WANDERING ISSUE AND SLOP IN THE WHEEL. I HAVE ANOTHER APPOINTMENT ON 01/24/20 TO REEXAMINE THE STEERING PROBLEM.

I HAVE A 2018 JEEP WRANGLER JLU SAHARA WITH 4,186 MILES ON IT. I AM EXPERIENCING VERY LOOSE STEERING ON MY VEHICLE. THE STEERING WHEEL HAS A DEAD SPOT OF ABOUT 2 INCHES IN EITHER DIRECTION FROM CENTER.THIS BECOMES INCREASINGLY NOTICEABLE AS SPEED INCREASES AND ONCE AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS IS EXTREMELY UNSTABLE. AS TO GET THE VEHICLE TO RESPOND / MAKE EVEN MINOR STEERING ADJUSTMENT AS YOU DRIVE, TAKES A SUBSTANTIAL MOVEMENT OF THE STEERING WHEEL. THIS LEADS TO THE VEHICLE SWERVING ALL OVER THE ROAD AND IS IS REALLY HARD TO CONTROL. IT IS TRULY NOT SAFE, ESPECIALLY HIGHER SPEEDS. AFTER I PURCHASES THE VEHICLE AND EXPERIENCED MY ISSUE, I HAVE COME TO LEARN THAT IS IT A VERY WELL KNOWN WIDE SPREAD PROBLEM THAT IS GOING UNADDRESSED BY FCA (FIAT CHRYSLER AUTOMOBILES) AND IS BEING EVEN MORE IGNORED BY THE SERVICE DEPARTMENTS OF MOST OF THEIR DEALERSHIPS (VERY FRUSTRATING TO BE TOLD THERE IS NO ISSUES WHEN EVERYONE KNOWS THAT THERE IS). THIS TOPIC IS ALL OVER INTERNET FORUMS, ON LINE ARTICLE AND ON LINE VIDEOS OUTLINING THE SAME EXPERIENCE AND OUTRAGED BECAUSE NO ONE IS ACKNOWLEDGING THIS DANGEROUS ISSUE.

I RECENTLY HAD A LOCAL JEEP DEALER INSTALL A MOPAR FACTORY 2" LIFT KIT ON MY 2018 JEEP WRANGLER RUBICON A FEW WEEKS AGO. SINCE THE 2" LIFT WAS INSTALLED, WHEN THE JEEP HITS A HIGHWAY BREAK, BUMP/POTHOLE, ANYWHERE BETWEEN 30MPH UP TO NORMAL HIGHWAY SPEEDS, I GET THE "DEATH WOBBLE" IN THE STEERING WHEEL AND THE VEHICLE SHAKES VIOLENTLY. THIS JEEP STILL HAS THE FACTORY ORIGINAL TIRES AND RIMS INSTALLED, AND HAS NO OTHER ADD-ONS TO THE VEHICLE. I HAVE TO SLOW THE VEHICLE DOWN TO 25 MPH FOR THE DEATH WOBBLE TO STOP. I TRAVELED 35 MILES A FEW DAYS AGO ON A STATE HIGHWAY AT SPEEDS BETWEEN 40-65 MPH, IN 32 DEGREE TEMPS, AND THE VEHICLE WENT INTO A "DEATH WOBBLE" (7) TIMES, FIVE OF WHICH I HAVE ON VIDEO FOR THE UPCOMING LAWSUITS. IT APPEARS MORE VULNERABLE TO A DEATH WOBBLE IF THE FRONT DRIVERS WHEEL HITS A BUMP OR POTHOLE FIRST. ADDITIONALLY IT APPEARS TO ENTER INTO A DEATH WOBBLE MORE EASILY IF YOU ARE ON A CURVE IN A LEFT HAND DIRECTIONAL TURN. ALL KNOWN RECALLS HAVE BEEN PERFORMED TO THIS VEHICLE THAT I KNOW OF, TO INCLUDE THE UPDATED WORK AND INSPECTION TO THE STEERING STABILIZER DAMPENER/SHOCK. SOMEONE IS GOING TO DIE FROM THIS ISSUE IF IT IS NOT FIXED IF THEY HAVEN'T ALREADY, EITHER THE DRIVER OF THE JEEP, OR A UNWITTING PARTY IN ONCOMING TRAFFIC, ESPECIALLY IF THIS HAPPENS ON AN ICE COVERED ROAD! I HAVE VIDEOS OF THE DEATH WOBBLE, BUT NO PHOTOS, WHICH ARE ALL THAT ARE ALLOWED FOR POSTING ON THIS WEBSITE FOR THIS COMPLAINT. I WOULD BE HAPPY TO SHARE THE VIDEOS WITH NHTSA INVESTIGATORS IF THEY WISH TO CONTACT ME.

I'M DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY ABOUT 70 AND I HIT A BUMP AND MY CAR STARTS SHAKING VIOLENTLY! I HAVE CARS NEXT TO ME AND BEHIND ME , AND I MOVE OVER TO THE SLOWER LANE AND SLOW DOWN TO ABOUT 40 FOR THE SHAKING TO STOP .

EXCESSIVE SHAKING IN STEERING WHEEL UPON HITTING SLIGHT ROAD BUMPS (CRACK/PEBBLE) NOT SIGNIFICANT BUMPS OCCURRING AT SPEEDS AS LOW AS 30MPH OCCURS MORE FREQUENTLY AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS ISSUE IS MORE COMMON IF STEERING WHEEL IS TURNED SLIGHTLY TO LEFT SHAKING IS EXCESSIVE AND VEHICLE CONTROL IS LOST AT HIGHER SPEEDS. ONLY WAY TO RESOLVE IS TO SLOW ABRUPTLY TO LESS THAN 40 MPH. VEHICLE HAS ALREADY UNDERGONE FCJ RECALL FIX OF ENHANCED STEERING DAMPER/STABILIZER BUT ISSUE IS NOT RESOLVED VEHICLE SAFETY CONCERN FOR THIS VEHICLE AND ANY OTHER VEHICLE NEAR IT WHEN ISSUE OCCURS ISSUE HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES WITH AS FEW AS 3500 MILES ON THE VEHICLE

WHILE DRIVING THE POSTED SPEED LIMITS, ON ANY STREET, I AM CONSTANTLY FIGHTING WITH THE STEERING WHEEL JERKS OUT OF MY HANDS, EVEN THOUGH I HAD SEVERAL PROFESSIONALS LOOK AT MY TIRES, WHEELS, SUSPENSION COMPONENTS, TIE RODS, STABILIZER BAR, STEERING DAMPENER, BALL JOINTS, ETC. MY JEEP HAS THIS MASSIVE DEATH WABBLE, WHERE I CONSTANTLY HAVE TO FIGHT THE STEERING WHEEL! ON 15+ DIFFERENT TIMES (IT DOES NOT MATTER IF I AM DRIVING ON A HWY 70MPH, SECONDARY ST'S 40MPH, 5-LANE ST'S AT 50MPH, OR WHILE DRIVING IN A SUBDIVISION AT 25MPH), JUST TRYING TO TURN MY JEEP BECOMES A HUGE CHALLENGE, EVEN ON A GOOD DAY! I BELIEVE THAT MY ELECTRIC POWER STEERING IS ALSO DEFECTIVE TOO, THE STEERING WHEEL VIOLENTLY JERKS ME INTO ONCOMING TRAFFIC, & INTO OTHERS LANES WITHOUT ANY WARNINGS! I FINALLY CONTACTED 'SYNERGY MANUFACTURING' WHO TOLD ME THAT ALL OF THE STEERING COMPONENTS ON THE JL'S ARE NOTHING BUT CHEAP GARBAGE, THAT ALL NEEDS TO BE REPLACED! THEY HAVE A REPLACEMENT KIT, WHICH FIXES THE PROBLEMS, FOR LESS THAN $1,200! WHICH SOUNDS LIKE A BARGAIN, IF IT MEANS THAT MY FAMILY REMAINS SAFE, COMPARED TO BEING KILLED IN YET ANOTHER FCA DEATH TRAP! ALSO, ONE'S FIRE RETARDANT BLANKET (UNDER THE HOOD), IS FALLING APART! I ONLY HAVE 1,800 ORIGINAL MILES ON IT, ITS NEVER EVEN BEEN OFF ROAD YET! I'VE GONE TO 7 DIFFERENT JEEP DEALERS, & NOBODY HAS ANY NEW REPLACEMENT PARTS, & ALL OF THEIR CUSTOMERS NEED TO GET IN LINE BEFORE THEY SHALL EVEN LOOK AT MY JEEP! I WOULD EXPECT A FLAWLESS RUNNING & DRIVING JEEP JL WRANGLER UNLIMITED RUBICON, AFTER SPENDING WELL OVER $60,000!!! CAN YOU PLEASE HELP ME? ALL ONE HAS TO DO, IS SEARCH ANY OF THE JEEP JL FORUMS, SEARCH YOUTUBE, E.G., & ONE SHALL SEE THOUSANDS OF EXACTLY THE SAME COMPLAINTS! NEVER AGAIN FCA, YOU LOST ME AS A CUSTOMER, ITS A MIRACLE THAT MY FAMILY & I AREN'T DEAD!!!

HAD A RECALL ON THE STEERING DAMPER. HAD THE RECALL SERVICED A WEEK AGO. GOING 60MPH ON HIGHWAY AND HIT UNEVEN ROAD SURFACE THE STEERING SHIMMIES EXCESSIVELY ALMOST CAUSING A CRASH. HAD TO PULL OFF THE ROAD IN ORDER TO GET IT TO STOP. THIS WAS AFTER THE RECALL WAS SUPPOSEDLY FIXED.

THERE IS A LARGE DEAD SPOT IN THE STEERING OF MY JL WRANGLER. IT IS GETTING PROGRESSIVELY WORSE. THE VEHICLE TAKES A LOT OF EFFORT TO STAY IN IN A STRAIGHT LINE, PARTICULARLY AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. THE DEALER INITIALLY SAID NOTHING WAS WRONG. A DIFFERENT DEALER SAID THEY FEEL IT BUT DO NOT KNOW WHAT IS CAUSING IT.

I WAS DRIVING ON HIGHWAY ABOUT 65MPH, THE HIGHWAY WAS CURVING TO LEFT ON RAMP BUT I COULD NOT TURN MY STEERINGWHEEL BECAUSE IT WAS TOO STIFF. I DID NOT DO ANY SUSPENSION UPGRADES FOR THIS CAR. IT WAS MORE THAN STIFF. IT WAS DEFINENTLY NOT NORMAL I ALMOST COULD NOT TURN. THOUGHT I WAS GOING TO CRASH INTO WALL. I FELT LIKE IF THIS HAPPENS AGAIN IT MIGHT CAUSE A LIFE THREATNING ACCIDENT.

Mileage: 39,000

MY LOCAL JEEP DEALER PERFORMED A RECALL SERVICE FOR FAULTY STEERING EVEN THOUGH I HAD NOT EXPERIENCED ANY PROBLEM THAT HAS BEEN REPORTED BY OTHERS. NOW, AFTER THE SERVICE WAS PERFORMED, I AM EXPERIENCING THE WOBBLY STEERING PROBLEM AT BOTH HIGH SPEEDS (65-70MPH) AS WELL AS AT LOWER SPEEDS (30-35MPH) WHEN I GO OVER ROAD BUMPS OR POTHOLES. THIS HAS HAPPENED 4 TIMES ALREADY IN THE LAST 2 DAYS SINCE I GOT MY VEHICLE SERVICED! HOW IRONIC THAT THE PROBLEM STARTED AFTER THE RECALL SERVICE WAS PERFORMED!!! BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP AGAIN...

Mileage: 23,000

TWICE NOW THE STEERING WHEEL HAS LOCKED UP ON MY JEEP AND MADE IT HARD TO STEER. BOTH TIMES JEEP WAS DRIVING AND THAN TURNING AND WHILST TURNING STEERING LOCKED UP AND IT BECAME DIFFICULT TO TURN.

WHEN TRAVELING AT HIGH SPEEDS (70+) ON THE FREEWAY, IF YOU HIT A BUMP OR HOLE MY STEERING WHEEL WILL VIOLENTLY SHAKE FOR ABOUT 10 SECONDS. I HAVE HAD MY CAR FOR ABOUT 13 MONTHS AND HAVE ONLY NOTICED IT OVER THE LAST FEW MONTHS (WHEN IT HAS BEEN COLDER TEMPERATURES, AS I LIVE IN MICHIGAN).

Mileage: 10,000

VIOLENT SHAKING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. FIRST TIME IT HAPPENED WAS MAYBE A MONTH AFTER I PICKED UP THE VEHICLE BUT SINCE I BARELY DRIVE HIGHWAY IT DIDN'T HAPPEN AGAIN UNTIL RECENTLY ON A TRIP TO PA. HAD TO STOP THE VEHICLE FOR THE SHAKE TO STOP. VEHICLE IS SOMEWHAT CONTROLLABLE BUT EXTREMELY UNSAFE DEPENDING ON CONDITION OF HIGHWAY AND IF AT NIGHT. SINCE THE NOVEMBER ISSUE IT HAS HAPPENED A FEW TIMES SINCE AND WILL BE IN SERVICE ON 12/23 FOR A RECALL I WAS NEVER MADE OF AWARE OF.

Mileage: 9,000

HEAVY AMOUNT OF RUST THROUGHOUT THE BOTTOM OF THE VEHICLE. RUST IS LOCATED ON FRAME WELDS, SUSPENSION CONNECTION BRACKETS, AND AXEL COMPONENTS. PHOTOS WERE TAKEN 10 DAYS AFTER PURCHASING FROM THE DEALERSHIP. I TOOK THE JEEP BACK AND ASKED THEM TO MAKE SURE EVERYTHING WAS SAFE. THE DEALERSHIP LOOKED AT ME LIKE I WAS CRAZY AND SAID YEP THAT IS NORMAL TO HAVE RUST. I ASKED IT IS NORMAL TO HAVE THIS MUCH RUST ON A BRAND NEW CAR. THAT IS CRAZY. THE STEERING JERKS TO THE RIGHT AND LEFT CONSTANTLY AND YOU ARE ALWAYS HAVING TO FIGHT IT TO STAY IN A STRAIGHT LINE. I HAVE READ FROM OTHER REPORT THAT THIS HAS BECOME A COMMON PROBLEM FOR THIS MODEL YEAR. I HOPE THIS ISSUE WILL BE RESOLVED. I BOUGHT MY CAR ON 06/29/2019. THE PHOTOS THAT ARE ATTACHED FOR YOUR REVIEW WERE TAKEN ON 07/11/2019 THANKS [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AT 64/65 MILES AN HOUR, NO WEATHER AT ALL, I HIT A BRIDGE STRAPPING BUMP, AND THE JEEP WAS ALMOST OUT OF CONTROL! DEATH WOBBLE DEFINITELY OCCURED JUST A VEHICLE WAS PASSING ME! I GRIPPED THE WHEEL AS IT SHOOK ALMOST UNCONTROLLABLY! I SLOWED DOWN TO ABOUT 30 AND IT STOPPED. THE JEEP WAS VIBRATING OUT OF CONTOL!! THIS HAS HAPPENED 4 TIMES ALREADY! IT IS TERRIFYING!! FIX THE DEATH WOBBLE NOBODY WANTS TO DIE!!!

Mileage: 23,000

I WAS DRIVING IN THE BACK ROADS AT 30 MPH AND ENCOUNTERED A CURVE ON THE ROAD. I TURNED MY STEERING WHEEL LIGHTLY TO THE RIGHT AND MY JEEP WOULD NOT GO IN THE DIRECTION I NEEDED IT TO. THE STEERING LOCKED UP. I HAD IT LOCK UP MANY TIMES THIS MORNING WHEN I TURNED LEFT OR RIGHT. THE TEMPERATURE THIS MORNING WAS 35 DEGREES F. THIS IS A CAUSE FOR CONCERN AS OUR LIVES AND THOSE OF OTHERS IS AT RISK. A SERIOUS SAFETY CONCERN. THIS IS THE SECOND ISSUE I'VE HAD WITH THIS JEEP. I HAD THE STEERING DAMPNER CHANGED BECAUSE IT WAS VIOLENTLY VIBRATING AT HIGH SPEEDS ON THE HIGHWAY. THIS JL MODEL IS JUNK.

I HAVE HAD THE STEERING DAMPENER REPLACED 3 TIMES, AND THE FIX HAS NOT CORRECTED THE SHIMMY IN THE STEERING ON THE HIGHWAY. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS WHEN IT HAPPENS, AS I HAVE TO SLOW DOWN COMPLETELY ON THE INTERSTATE.

Mileage: 6,700

THIS HAPPENED TWICE ON THE SAME DAY. VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION AT APPROXIMATELY 60 MILES PER HOUR ENTERING HIGHWAY WHEN A BUMP WAS HIT FRONT END STARTED TO SHAKE AND SHIMMY ALL THE WAY THROUGH THE STEERING WHEEL. ALMOST HAD TO COMPLETELY STOP THE VEHICLE TO GET THE SHAKING TO STOP. THIS IS CALLED THE JEEP DEATH WOBBLE. I HAD RECEIVED A RECALL FROM FIAT CHRYSLER OF AMERICA SEVERAL MONTHS EARLIER TO HAVE MY VEHICLE STEERING STABILIZER REPLACE. AFTER A LOT OF RESEARCH ON THIS PARTICULAR PROBLEM I THINK THE VEHICLE MANUFACTURER SHOULD BE HELD LIABLE FOR ALL FRONT END DAMAGE DONE FOR THE LIFE OF THE VEHICLE IN RELATION TO THIS PROBLEM IN ENGINEERING. I HAVE SEEN MANY PLACES WHERE THEY SAY THIS PROBLEM WILL RUIN YOUR BALL JOINTS AND YOUR OTHER LINKAGES IN YOUR FRONT END. THEY SHOULD INFORM THE CONSUMER OF THIS PROBLEM AT TIME OF PURCHASE.

MY 2018 JEEP WRANGLER HAS EXPERIENCED POWER STEERING FAILURE PRIMARILY DURING HIGHWAY DRIVING AND MORE OFTEN IN COLD WEATHER.YOU BECOME AWARE OF THE FAILURE AFTER ENTERING THE HIGHWAY AND ATTEMPT A SLIGHT CORRECTION RIGHT OR LEFT AND REALIZE THERE IS NO POWER ASSIST. YOU APPLY MORE PRESSURE THEN REALIZE IT IS GOING TO TAKE A LOT MORE EFFORT TO MAKE THE CAR MOVE IN THE DIRECTION DESIRED, THE INITIAL THOUGHT IS THE CAR IS NOT GOING TO TURN BUT WITH MORE PRESSURE IT FINALLY MOVES.THIS MAY CONTINUE FOR A FEW SECONDS OR CAN COME AND GO FOR MILES.I CANNOT MAKE THE CAR DO IT AT WILL SO I'VE MADE NO EFFORT TO HAVE THE CAR REPAIRED. I ALSO HAVE FOLLOWED FORUMS ON LINE DESCRIBING STEERING PROBLEMS BUT AS OF YET,IT APPEARS THERE IS NO DEALER REPAIR OFFERED. THE CAR HAS BEEN IN SERVICE SINCE 5/5/2018.THE PROBLEM HAS PERSISTED SINCE SHORTLY AFTER DELIVERY.I AM CURRENTLY JUST PAST 40K MILES IN THIS TIME PERIOD.OUT OF FACTORY WARRANTY BUT I DID PURCHASE A 100K MILE WARRANTY AT TIME OF SALE.I KEEP THINKING THIS PROBLEM IS GOING TO BECOME A RECALL ALONG WITH EXCESSIVE STEERING PLAY,(WANDERING),AND THE EVER FAMOUS "DEATH WOBBLE" OF WHICH THIS VEHICLE HAS ALL THREE.SO FAR THAT HASN'T HAPPENED. REGARDLESS OF BEING TERMED SAFETY ISSUES MY EXPERIENCE IS THAT THEY ARE MOST CERTAINLY SAFETY ISSUES.THANK YOU,[XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

TOOK VEHICLE IN WITH 'WHEEL WOBBLE' AT 7728 MILES AND DEALER REPLACED STEERING DAMPER. AFTER DRIVING 300 MILES TOOK BACK TO DEALER WITH SAME ISSUE. THEY STATED THAT THEY COULD NOT DUPLICATE AND RETURNED THE VEHICLE. I THEN TOOK TO AN AFTERMARKET DUAL STEERING STABILIZER THAT HID THE PROBLEM FOR ANOTHER 8OOO MILES. UPON TAKING BACK TO DEALER WITH NOW 18000 MILES - THERE IS AN ADDITIONAL STEERING STABILIZER THAT FACTORY RECOMMENDS. DEALER WILL NOT TAKE AFTERMARKET OFF AND INSTALL RECOMMENDED FACTORY REPLACEMENT.

AFTER PURCHASING MY JEEP MY WIFE AND I NOTICED IT WAS REALLY HARD TO KEEP IT BETWEEN THE LINES. CONSTANTLY CORRECTING THE JEEP TO KEEP IT STRAIGHT. TOOK THE JEEP IN TO HAVE THE TRACK BAR REPLACED AND ALSO THE STEERING DAMPER REPLACED. THESES REPLACEMENT PARTS DID NOT FIX THE ISSUE. THERE IS ALSO A DEAD SPOT WITH THE STEERING WHEEL WHERE YOU CAN TURN IT ABOUT AN INCH BOTH DIRECTIONS WITHOUT ANY MOVEMENT FROM THE WHEELS. AFTER DRIVING THE JEEP I AM TIRED FROM RECORRECTING CONSTANTLY. THIS IS A DANGEROUS ISSUE. I HAVE CONTACTED JEEP CARES AND MY DEALERSHIP FOR A THIRD TIME. THE DEALERSHIP TOLD ME NOTHING WAS LOOSE AND IT DRIVES LIKE THE OTHERS. FRUSTRATING!

Mileage: 500

FIRST TIME I NOTICED IT VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION I HIT A SMALL POTHOLE AND STEERING OF THE VEHICLE WAS UNCONTROLLABLE FOR 10 15 SECONDS (THE FIRST TIME THIS HAPPENED WE WERE ON THE WAY HOME FROM THE HOSPITAL WITH OUR NEWBORN AND PULLED OVER THINKING A TIRE POSSIBLY BLEW). NOW, EVEN THE SMALLEST BUMP IN THE ROAD WILL CAUSE THE VEHICLE TO SHIMMY AND WOBBLE ALMOST TAKING OVER COMPLETE CONTROL OF THE STEERING. WHEN I BROUGHT THE JEEP IN FOR A ROUTINE OIL CHANGE THEY DID NOT MENTION THE RECALL UNTIL I ASKED THEM ABOUT A POSSIBLE PROBLEM WITH MY VEHICLES STEERING. I HAVE ALSO RECEIVED NO NOTICES OR PHONE CALLS FOR THIS STEERING RECALL. THIS COULD BE VERY DANGEROUS IF IT WAS TO HAPPEN WITH AN INEXPERIENCED DRIVER. WE HAVE TO DRIVE ON A ROAD DAILY THAT IS PROBLEMATIC AS IT IS UNDER CONSTRUCTION WITH ALL KINDS OF BUMPS AND UNEVEN SURFACES. MY VEHICLE IS SCHEDULED FOR THE SERVICE RECALL REPAIR. I WANTED TO DOCUMENT THE PROBLEM WITH YOUR AGENCY AND ALSO NOTE THAT JEEP DID NOT CONTACT ME WHATSOEVER REGARDING THIS RECALL.

MY JEEP STEERING WHEEL IS BINDING UP AND IS A SERIOUS SAFETY CONCERN. I ALMOST GOT INTO A MAJOR ACCIDENT BECAUSE OF IT YESTERDAY IN A SNOWSTORM WHEN A GUY STOPPED SHORT IN FRONT OF ME AND I COULD NOT GET THE WHEEL TO TURN LEFT WITHOUT JAMMING MY BRAKES AND DRASTICALLY REDUCING SPEED WHICH THEN FREE'D THE WHEEL UP AND LET ME TURN LEFT. IT JUST STARTED HAPPENING NOW IN THE COLDER WEATHER AND SOME OF THE THINGS I HAVE READ SAY IT MAY BE RELATED TO COLD WEATHER. IT IS NEAR IMPOSSIBLE TO TURN THE WHEEL LEFT AT HIGH SPEEDS OF 50-60+ MPH AND THE WHEEL COMPLETELY LOCKS UP WHEN ATTEMPTING TO TURN LEFT. THIS HAPPENS AT HIGH SPEEDS AND IS A MAJOR CONCERN IF I NEEDED TO CHANGE TO LEFT LANE QUICKLY OR AM TAKING A LONG LEFT TURN ON AN ON/OFF RAMP. THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY CONCERN CONSIDERING I WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO TURN LEFT TO AVOID AN OBSTACLE SUCH AS AN ACCIDENT IN FRONT OF ME. EXTREMELY DISAPPOINTED JEEP HAS NOT ACKNOWLEDGED THIS ISSUE AND ISSUED A RECALL BECAUSE THERE ARE SEVERAL OTHERS DESCRIBING THE EXACT SAME ISSUE.

AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS THE STEERING WHEEL OF MY JEEP LOCKS UP AND IS VERY DIFFICULT TO TURN. THIS HAPPENS NO MATTER IF I AM GETTING OFF AN EXIT OF JUST CHANGING LANES ON THE HIGHWAY. IT IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS. SEEMS TO BE CONNECTED TO THE HIGHWAY SPEEDS AND LOWER TEMPERATURES.

Mileage: 10,253

WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AT ANY RATE OF SPEED MY STEERING WHEEL LOCKS UP ON ME IF TURNING EVEN SLIGHTLY. IT ALMOST FEELS AS IF I AM LOSTING POWER STEERING. WHEN THIS HAPPENS I HAVE TO PULL REALLY HARD TO GET THE VEHICLE TO TURN BUT THEN IT COULD LET LOOSE AT ANY TIME SO WHEN THAT HAPPENS IT ALMOST PUTS ME IIJ N THE DITCH BECAUSE I AM ALREADY PULLING SO HARD ON THE WHEEL. THE ONLY TIME THIS SEEMS TO HAPPEN IS WHEN IT IS BELOW ABOUT 30F. WHICH OVER HALF THE YEAR WHERE I LIVE. IT IS A DAILY OCCURRENCE IN THESE TEMPS AND WILL HAPPEN IF I'M GOING 10MPH OR 90MPH.

WHEN DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY THE CAR WANDERS TO THE LEFT OR RIGHT MAKING CONSTANT CORRECTION.

SINCE I BOUGHT MY JEEP I'VE TAKEN IT BACK TWICE FOR THE DEATH WOBBLE. LESS THAN A YEAR AGO WAS THE FIRST TIME AND THEY REPLACED THE STEERING DAMPER. IT WAS FINE FOR A FEW MONTHS AND STARTED AGAIN. HAVING TO WORK I WASN'T ABLE TO TAKE IT BACK IN. THE WOBBLE GOT SO BAD I WAS SCARED WHEN IT WOULD START. IT HAD SUCH A VIOLENT SHAKE WHEN I WOULD HIT A BUMP ON THE FREEWAY I WOULD HAVE TO REDUCE SPEED ON THE FREEWAY FAST WHICH CAUSES IT'S OWN SET OF ISSUES. I JUST TOOK IT IN AGAIN AND THEY DID THE RECALL ON THE STEERING DAMPER AGAIN. I TOLD THEM YOU DID IT LESS THAN A YEAR AGO. I GOT THE JEEP BACK THIS WEEK AND MY FIRST DRIVE ON THE FREEWAY I CAN ALREADY FEEL THAT IT IS STILL GOING TO BE A ISSUE. WHAT WILL HAPPEN WHEN IT'S SNOWING AND ICY ON THE FREEWAY AND THE DEATH WOBBLE HAPPENS? FCA MAY REALLY HAVE A DEATH ON THEIR HANDS THEN. YOU DON'T GET MUCH FOR 50,000 ANYMORE. THIS SHOULD BE STOPPED BEFORE THESE JEEPS KILL PEOPLE.

I SLOWED TO A STOP AND WHEN I STARTED AGAIN I WAS FINE. I NOTED THAT WHEN I WAS TRAVELING BETWEEN THE SPEEDS OF 70-75 AND HIT A BUMP IS WHEN THE WOBBLE WOULD ENSUE. I HAVE HAD THE STEERING DAMPER REPLACED ALREADY DUE TO THIS SAME ISSUE. THE STEERING DAMPER HAD NO EFFECT ON THE PROBLEM.

Mileage: 14,600

ROUNDING A TURN AND GOING ABOUT 30 MPH, THE POWER STEERING STOPPED WORKING. FOR ABOUT 2 SECONDS I HAD TO STRUGGLE WITH THE VEHICLE TO PREVENT FROM CRASHING INTO THE CENTER DIVIDER.

Mileage: 33,000

BOUGHT THE VEHICLE MAY 2018. AFTER DRIVING FOR A WEEK BROUGHT BACK TO DEALER IN REGARDS TO LOOSE STEERING AND A DEAD SPOT THAT I COULD MOVE THE WHEEL 3 INCHES BEFORE THE TIRES WOULD MOVE. DEALER SAID IT WAS A JEEP THING. THIS IS MY 4TH JEEP WRANGLER AND NONE OF MY PREVIOUS MODELS HAD THE ISSUE. THEY SAID IT WAS DESIGNED TO BE THAT WAY. AFTER ANOTHER MONTH I BROUGHT IT BACK COMPLAINING OF THE SAME PROBLEM AND THAT I SAW FORUMS THAT STATED OTHERS WERE HAVING ISSUES. ONCE AGAIN, TOLD IT IS THE WAY THAT JEEPS HANDLE. I TOOK THE JEEP TO A 4 WHEEL DRIVE PLACE FOR AN ALIGNMENT. AFTER ALIGNMENT THE VEHICLE HAD THE SAME ISSUE. I HAVE SINCE PUT ON LEVELING KIT AND 35 INCH TIRES. WHEN I BROUGHT IT BACK TO JEEP BECAUSE I HEARD OF A SOFTWARE PATCH AND NEW STEERING BOX THAT WAS SUPPOSE TO FIX STEERING. DEALER SAID THAT BECAUSE I PUT ON 35 INCH TIRES THAT THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO. I NOW HAVE 27K MISERABLE AND DANGEROUS MILES ON THE VEHICLE. I SEE THAT JEEP JL AS ALMOST 1K OF COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE STEERING. IT IS A SAFETY ISSUE WHEN YOU CANT KEEP IN YOUR LANE!

MORE THAN ONCE I HAVE EXPERIENCED EXTREME SHAKING OF THE STEERING WHEEL AND VEHICLE. IT HAPPENS WHEN I AM ON THE HIGHWAY AND HIT A BUMP. EACH TIME IT HAS HAPPENED I TENSE UP FOR FEAR OF LOSING CONTROL. I HAVE TO SLOW DOWN TO ABOUT 35MPH FOR IT TO STOP. THIS IS NOT SAFE TO DO ON THE HIGHWAY. IT IS ALSO ILLEGAL TO DO AS THE MINIMUM SPEED LIMIT IS 45MPH. I BROUGHT MY JEEP INTO THE DEALERSHIP ON 11/11/2019 FOR AN OIL CHANGE, TIRE ROTATION AND TO HAVE SOME DAMPENER THING INSTALLED DUE TO A RECALL. THE VERY NEXT DAY IT DID THE SAME THING. I HAVE NOW BEEN TRYING TO AVOID GOING OVER 45 MPH.

MY 2018 JEEP JL HAS HAD NON STOP ISSUES WITH THE "DEATH WOBBLE" SO MUCH THAT I HAVE HAD TO PARK THIS VEHICLE AND NOT DRIVE IT . IT HAS BEEN IN THREE TIMES FOR REPAIRS , EACH TIME PROMISED A FIX WOULD OCCUR. LAST WEEK I WAS DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE BETWEEN WORK AND HOME, AND I HIT A REGULAR UNEVEN PAVEMENT ONE WOULD DRIVE OVER EVERYDAY , AND THE VEHICLE RESONATED SO MUCH THAT IT PUSHED ME INTO THE LEFT LANE.. LUCKILY NO ONE WAS THERE BUT DECIDED TO PARK THE VEHICLE TILL THE NEXT SCHEDULED FIX ON 11/18. AFTER RECEIVING THE VEHICLE BACK THE INSTABILITY IS STILL THERE AND RESONATES WHEN GOING OVER ANY UNEVENNESS IN ROADS. I HAVE CREATED A CASE WITH JEEP WAIVE (CASE NUMBER 68188061) AND CALLED JIM COGDILL DODGE DEALERSHIP IN KNOXVILLE TN WHOM HAS REPAIRED THE FRONT END THE LAST THREE TIMES . I WAS TOLD ON 11/22 THAT THE DEALERSHIP JUST GOT NOTICE BY A OFFICIAL CHRYSLER NOTIFICATION THAT THE RECALL FIX FOR THE DEATH WOBBLE IS NOT FIXING THE INSTABILITY IN THE FRONT END ,AND IN SOME CASES MAKING IT WORSE. THEY HAVE BEEN TOLD TO STOP FIXING THE CARS UNTIL A NEW PART/FIX IS RELEASED BY CHRYSLER. I NOW HAVE A CAR THAT I CANNOT DRIVE, PURCHASE NEW JUST LAST YEAR AND HAVE LOST ALL TRUST IN THE SAFETY OF THIS CAR. I AM LOOKING FOR HELP TO SOLUTION AND HELP OTHERS WHOM ARE IN MY SAME SITUATION. ADDITIONALLY, MY VEHICLE COMPUTER HAS MESSED UP AND IS SHOWING ALMOST 1 MILLION MILES (999,999) . THIS COMPLAINT IS ALSO PART OF MY CASE AS I CANNOT SALE MY VEHICLE, OR BE LEGAL WITH THE ODOMETER IN CURRENT STATUS.

TRAVELING ON AN INTERSTATE AT 65 MPH AND WENT ACROSS THE METAL STRIP JUST BEFORE A BRIDGE. THE FRONT WHEELS STARTED WOBBLING VIOLENTLY AND THE STEERING WHEEL SHOOK BAD AS WELL. THIS HAPPENED TWO MORE TIMES THIS TRIP AT THE SAME TYPE OF SITUATION. THE SECOND TIME I TRIED TO SLOW DOWN TO GET THE JEEP TO STOP WOBBLING BUT AN 18 WHEELER WAS DIRECTLY BEHIND ME AND ALMOST RAN UP THE REAR OF MY VEHICLE. I HAD THREE MISHAPS ALL THE SAME ON THIS TRIP. I USE THE JEEP AROUND TOWN, BUT WON'T DRIVE IT AT HIGH SPEEDS. I HAD THE DAMPER REPLACED IN THE JEEP THREE DAYS PRIOR TO THIS TRIP. THIS IS THE PART THAT FCA SAYS CAUSES THE PROBLEM. I HAVE ANOTHER APPOINTMENT NEXT WEEK TO HAVE THE JEEP CHECKED OUT. THE DATE THIS HAPPENED TO ME WAS NOV. 8TH, 2019. BEING A FIRST TIME OWNER OF A JEEP, I THINK I SHOULD HAVE BEEN MADE AWARE OF THIS PROBLEM WHEN I BOUGHT THE JEEP FROM THE DEALER.

STEERING FEELS LOOSE AND HAS PLAY. UNSAFE

Mileage: 17,000

STEERING WHEEL BINDS UP (IT WON'T TURN LEFT) IN IN COLD TEMPERATURES. IT HAPPENED ON TWO SEPARATE OCCASIONS WHILE DRIVING (IN BOTH OF THESE CASES SPEEDS WERE BELOW 45MPH). NOTIFIED THE CAR DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID THEY COULD NOT DO ANYTHING WITHOUT A TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN (TSB), SO I SUBMITTED A CASE NUMBER WITH FIAT CHRYSLER AUTOMOTIVE (FCA). WITHIN 12 HOURS OF SUBMITTING THE CASE, I WAS INFORMED THEY COULD NOT DUPLICATE, WERE NOT GOING TO DO ANYTHING FURTHER AND WHERE CLOSING THE CASE. I BELIEVE THIS IS A SIGNIFICANT VEHICLE SAFETY ISSUE THAT REQUIRES A MORE THOROUGH INVESTIGATION AS BINDING STEERING COULD HAVE SEVERE CONSEQUENCES THAT CAN RESULT IN DEATH. I AM NOT SATISFIED THE DEALERSHIP OR FCA ADEQUATELY ADDRESSED THIS ISSUE. LASTLY, SEVERAL ONLINE JEEP FORUMS HAVE INDICATED AND DEMONSTRATED VERY SIMILAR PROBLEMS ON THIS MODEL AND YEAR OF THE VEHICLE.

Mileage: 8,000

PURCHASED THE VEHICLE ABOUT 3 MONTHS AGO . HAS BEEN IN AND OUT OF DEALERSHIP BECAUSE THE STEERING IS OFF. IT HAS ALOT OF PLAY AND HAS A DEAD SPOT IN THE MIDDLE WHICH HAS MADE IT VERY UNSAFE TO DRIVE. 2 DEALERSHIP HAVE TRIED FIXING THE ISSUE, HAVE THROWN PARTS AT IT BUT HAVE STATED THAT THE ISSUE IS A "CHARACTERISTIC OF THE VEHICLE" AND SO THEY HAVE WASHED THEIR HANDS BY SAYING THIS. PURCHASING DEALERSHIP HAS ALWAYS BEEN UNWILLING TO WORK WITH US BUT HAVE LIED TO US ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS. REACHED OUT TO JEEP CARE AND HAD CASE ESCALATED TO A LEVEL 2 CONTACT BUT THEY HAVE NOT BEEN OF MUCH ASSISTANCE EITHER AS THEY HAVE JUST GONE WITH WHAT THE DEALERSHIPS STATE. WE WERE NEVER OFFERED TO HAVE JEEP ENGINEERS COME OUT AND CHECK THE VEHICLE. WE WERE TAKEN ON A TEST DRIVE WITH OTHER 2018 MODELS AND THEY DRIVE EXACTLY THE SAME BUT THE SECOND THAT YOU ASK THE DEALERSHIPS TO ALLOW YOU TO DRIVE A 2019 THEY BECOME EXTREMELY HESISTANT AND SAY THAT IT'S A DIFFERENT YEAR SO IT DOES NOT APPLY. ONE DEALERSHIP ALLOWED US TO DRIVE A 2019 MODEL OF OUR VEHICLE AND THERE IS NOT STEERING ISSUE OF ANY TYPE WHICH ONLY LEADS US TO BELIEVE THAT JEEP RECTIFIED THE ISSUE WITH THE NEWER MODELS AND ARE REFUSING TO SPEAK UP ABOUT THE 2018 MODEL, OURS.

Mileage: 161

THIS VEHICLE EXHIBITS A DEAD SPOT AT 12 OCLOCK/DEAD CENTER CAUSING OSCILLATIONS OF THE STEERING WHEEL TO STAY STRAIGHT ON THE ROAD. THIS ISSUE HAS BEEN INTO DEALER SERVICE NO LESS THAN 8 TIMES IN THE FIRST 11 MONTHS OF OWNERSHIP. THIS IS STILL NOT RECTIFIED, HOWEVER, I AM WORKING WITH THE AREA TECH ON FURTHER FIXES/OPTIONS.

WHEN TRAVELING ON HIGHWAY AT 50-70 MPH AND HITTING A BUMP, THE FRONT OF THE JEEP BEGINS TO SHAKE OR WOBBLE VERY HARD BACK AND FORTH. THE ONLY WAY TO STOP IT IS TO HIT THE BRAKES QUICKLY AND HARD, MAKING DRIVING VERY UNSAFE - ESPECIALLY INCREASING THE DANGER OF GETTING REAR ENDED. IT HAS BEEN IN THE SHOP 3 TIMES TO CORRECT THIS ISSUE TO NO AVAIL. ENGINE LIGHT ALSO GOES ON AND OFF REPEATEDLY.

Mileage: 6,000

AFTER OWNING THE VEHICLE, WHICH I BOUGHT USED WITH 8113 MILES ON IT, FOR ONLY FOUR DAYS, I EXPERIENCED A VIOLENT VIBRATION FROM THE STEERING MECHANISM, FORCING ME TO SLOW DOWN AND PULL TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. I THOUGHT I'D BLOWN A TIRE, BUT THE MONITOR SHOWED THEM TO BE PROPERLY INFLATED. ONCE I SLOWED DOWN, THE SHAKING DISAPPEARED AND I WAS ABLE TO CONTINUE WITHOUT INCIDENT. IT HAS NOT HAPPENED AGAIN, BUT WHEN I RESEARCHED THE PHENOMENON I DISCOVERED THAT FCA HAD, SUPPOSEDLY, ISSUED A TSB RELATED TO THE PROBLEM, AND SENT A LETTER TO OWNERS OFFERING TO INSTALL A HEAVIER DUTY STEERING STABILIZER. THE DEALER I TOOK IT TO THIS MORNING WAS UNAWARE OF ANY SUCH PROBLEM OR TSB, AND, SINCE I CAN'T GET A COPY OF IT FROM YOUR IMPOSSIBLE-TO-NEGOTIATE WEBSITE, I'M AT A LOSS AS TO HOW TO PROCEED.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2018 JEEP WRANGLER. THE CONTACT RECEIVED AN UNKNOWN RECALL NOTICE REGARDING THE "DEATH WOBBLE". MOUNTAIN VALLEY MOTORS, INC. (7535 APPALACHIAN HWY, BLUE RIDGE, GA 30513) PERFORMED THE RECALL REPAIR. WHILE THE CONTACT WAS TAKING A LONG ROAD TRIP, THE VEHICLE EXPERIENCED THE "DEATH WOBBLE". THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO MILLER'S CHRYSLER DODGE JEEP RAM (48 KEELY ISLAND ROAD, MARTINSBURG, WV 25401, (888) 362-8027) TO HAVE THE RECALL REPAIR PERFORMED AGAIN. THE DEALER CLAIMED THAT THE ORIGINAL RECALL REPAIR WAS PERFORMED INCORRECTLY AND THE PART WAS INSTALLED UPSIDE DOWN. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED AND ABLE TO BE DRIVEN HOME; HOWEVER, THE CONTACT STATED THE FRONT END OF THE VEHICLE CONTINUED TO SHAKE. THE MOUNTAIN VALLEY DEALER STATED THAT THE MANUFACTURER ISSUED NEW INSTRUCTIONS ON HOW TO INSTALL THE PART, WHICH COULD HAVE CAUSED CONFUSION. THE DEALER DID NOT KNOW WHEN THE INSTRUCTIONS WERE ISSUED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 13,000. THE VIN WAS UNKNOWN.

I FILED A COMPLAINT ON THE LOOSE STEERING AS IT FEELS LIKE THERE IS A DEAD SPOT WHILE DRIVING AND IT DOESN'T RESPOND, IN DECEMBER OF LAST YEAR. IT'S LIKE SEVERAL DEGREES OF CONSTANTLY TURNING THE STEERING WHEEL BEFORE IT REGISTERS. LIKE IN AN OLD MOVIE WHERE YOU SEE THEM ALWAYS HAVING TO KEEP TURNING THE WHEEL BACK AND FORTH EXCESSIVELY. THIS HAS NOT BEEN ADDRESSED AS OF YET. FAST FORWARD TO THE TERM DEATH WOBBLE THAT IS PLAGUING MY JEEP WITH 9100 MILES ON IT. DEALERSHIP REPLACED THE DAMPNER. BUT THAT DID NOTHING TO CORRECT THE VIOLENT SHAKING WHEN HITTING AN EXPANSION JOINT OR POTHOLE AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. I'M DISGUSTED AT HOW AWFUL THIS IS ON A NEW VEHICLE. I SHOULD NOT HAVE ANY WORN PARTS ON MY JEEP WITH UNDER 10K MILES. I WANT ANSWERS, SOLUTIONS, A FOLLOW UP BY SOMEONE WHO IS IN CHARGE OF THIS. IT'S SCARY TO DRIVE BETWEEN THE EXCESSIVE PLAY AND DEATH WOBBLE. IT'S LIKE I'M DRIVING AN OLD JUNKER, DEFINITELY NOT A 40K NEW JEEP.

MY WIFE EXPERIENCED STARTED EXPERIENCING THE HARMONIC FREQUENCY ANOMALY AKA "DEATH WOBBLE" JUST AS THE WEATHER STARTED TO GET COOLER IN NJ. I BROUGHT VEHICLE IN TO PERFORM THE TSB ON 11/15. THE VERY NEXT DAY 11/16 THE DEATH WOBBLE CAME BACK ONLY THIS TIME MUCH WORSE! SHE WAS HEADING TO A 4H LEADERSHIP TRAINING COURSE WITH A CAR FULL OF CHILDREN, THANKFULLY SHE WAS ABLE TO MAINTAIN CONTROL AND PULL OFF THE SIDE OF THE HIGHWAY WHICH IN ITSELF IT NOT SAFE TO DO. THE FIX THAT FCA HAS PUBLISHED DOES NOT WORK - NHTSA DO YOUR JOB INVESTIGATE AND MANDATE FCA FIX THE ISSUE NOT PUT A BAND AID ON A BROKEN LEG.

STEERING WANDERS. TWO OR THREE INCHES OF PLAY IN STEERING. CAR HAS BEEN IN FOR SERVICE THREE TIMES. DEALER CHANGED STEERING STABILIZER THREE TIMES. CAR GOES BACK IN 11/18/19 FOR THE 4TH TIME SAME PROBLEM. STEERING IS DANGEROUS. CAR IS UNCONTROLLABLE.

WHILE IN MOTION DURING COLDER TEMPERATURES, MY STEERING WHEEL BECOMES STIFF AND DIFFICULT TO TURN. THE STIFFNESS IS PRESENT AT ALL SPEEDS, BUT MOST PREVALENT AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. THIS STIFFNESS EVENTUALLY FADES ONCE TEMPERATURES INCREASE OR THE VEHICLE HAS WARMED UP SUFFICIENTLY. THERE WAS A SERVICE BULLETIN JEEP RELEASED TO FIX THIS ISSUE, AND I HAD IT APPLIED LAST WINTER, BUT THE ISSUE HAS RETURNED AGAIN. IT SEEMS THE SOFTWARE FIX THEY HAD APPLIED IS NOT PERMANENT. THIS ISSUE IS INCREDIBLY DANGEROUS AS IT CAUSES THE STEERING WHEEL TO ALMOST LOCK UP WHEN TAKING A TURN. AT TIMES WHEN TEMPERATURES ARE VERY LOW, THE STEERING WHEEL STIFFNESS MAKES TURNING ON THE HIGHWAY VERY DIFFICULT.

Mileage: 17,700

I'VE HAD ISSUES TURNING STEERING WHEEL DURING COLD MORNINGS (~30 DEGREE) WHILE DRIVING AT HIGHWAY SPEED. I CAN ONLY TURN STEERING WHEELS ABOUT 5 DEGREES AND THEN MEET SOME RESISTANCE WHICH IT DOESN'T ALLOW ME TO CONTINUE THROUGH MY TURN. THIS HAPPENS FOR TURNING BOTH RIGHT AND LEFT DIRECTIONS. IT IS VERY SCARY AT HIGHWAY SPEED HEADING INTO AN EXIT RAMP OR IN THE MIDDLE OF A CURVE. I ONLY HAVE THIS ISSUE WHEN THE TEMPERATURE IS LOW. IT HAD HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES THIS WEEK IN COLD MORNINGS.

WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AT 60MPH+ MY JEEP GOES INTO THE DEATH WOBBLE WHEN I HIT A ROUGH PATCH IN THE ROAD. THIS IS NOT A BUMP IN THE ROAD BUT A ROUGH PATCH! THIS HAS HAPPENED TO ME MANY TIMES AND IT IS EXTREMELY SCARY! I HAVE TO SLOW DOWN TO AROUND 40MPH TO MAKE IT STOP SHAKING SIDE TO SIDE SO VIOLENTLY I CAN HARDLY KEEP IT ON THE ROAD. I HAVE ALREADY BEEN IN AND HAD THE UPGRADE DONE TO MY STEERING DAMPER. I HAVE NO MODIFICATIONS ON MY JEEP... I DRIVE IT AS PURCHASED. THIS RECENTLY HAPPENED ON THE INTERSTATE WHILE DRIVING 70 MPH IN THE PASSING LANE IN HEAVY TRAFFIC... I'M LUCKY TO STILL BE ALIVE.

THE CONTACT STATED THAT TURNING THE STEERING TO THE RIGHT OPERATED AS INTENDED; HOWEVER, WHEN TURNING THE STEERING WHEEL TO THE LEFT, THE WHEELS HESITATED TO RESPOND. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO LINDSAY CHRYSLER DODGE JEEP RAM (8100 CENTREVILLE RD, CITY OF MANASSAS, VA 20111, (888) 241-6888) TO BE DIAGNOSED, WHICH WAS STILL PENDING. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED.

REOCCURING ISSUE WITH STEERING WHEN DRIVING 55MPH AND ABOVE. CAR SHAKES UNCONTROLLABLY WHEN HITTING A BUMP OR A CHANGE IN PAVEMENT, TO THE POINT I HAVE TO PULL OVER AND SLOW DOWN TO 40MPH. HAD A RECALL FOR THE STEERING DAMPER WHICH FIXED THE ISSUE A LITTLE BIT BUT NOW IT IS HAPPENING YET AGAIN. I DO NOT FEEL SAFE DRIVING THE VEHICLE.

I WAS DRIVING MY JEEP ON THE HIGHWAY AT 65MPH AND DROVE OVER A SEAM(BUMP) IN THE ROAD. THE FRONT WHEELS AND STEERING WHEEL BEGAN THE SHAKE VIOLENTLY AND UNCONTROLLABLY. I HAD TO BRING THE VEHICLE TO A COMPLETE STOP IN ORDER FOR THE SHAKING TO STOP. FINDING A PLACE TO COME TO A COMPLETE STOP ON THE HIGHWAY IS NOT SAFE AT ALL.

WHILE DRIVING ABOVE 60MPH IF I RUN OVER A POT HOLE OR A BRIDGE EXPANSION JOINT I LOSE MY STEERING .IF I DON'T SLOW DOWN TO 30MPH QUICKLY I WILL NOT HAVE CONTROL. THE PART THAT CONCERNS ME IS THAT I ALREADY WAS SERVICED FOR THE STEERING RECALL .

Mileage: 3,200

WHILE DRIVING OVER 50 MPH THE STEERING WHEEL LOCKS IF I WANT TO TURN IT TO THE LEFT. DIFFICULT TO CHANGE LANES AND TURN ON UPCOMING CURVES WHICH CAN LEAD TO A BAD ACCIDENT. UPON SLOWING DOWN THE STEERING WHEEL UNLOCKS AND NOW GOES BACK TO NORMAL. ALSO WHILE DRIVING AND HITTING A SMALL BUMP OR A CHANGE IN THE PAVEMENT CAUSES STEERING WHEEL TO UNCONTROLLABLY SHAKE UNTIL I SLOW DOWN.

I WAS DRIVING MY JEEP YESTERDAY MORNING GOING 60MPH. THE TEMPERATURE WAS IN THE 30'S. I WAS HEADING INTO A LEFT HAND TURN WHEN MY STEERING WHEEL WOULD NOT TURN. I TAPPED ON THE BRAKES TO SLOW DOWN AS I WAS AFRAID I WAS GOING TO RUN OFF THE ROAD WITH MY TWO YOUNG CHILDREN IN THE JEEP. WHEN I SLOWED TO AROUND 40 MY JEEP STEERING CAME BACK. IT WAS A VERY SCARY SITUATION.

SATURDAY 11-2-19 WHILE DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY I HIT A SLIGHT BUMP GOING OVER A BRIDGE AND MY JEEP STARTED SHAKING UNCONTROLLABLY. I SLOWED DOWN AND IT STOPPED WHEN I GOT TO ABOUT 40MPH. WHILE DRIVING HOME ON THE SAME DAY I HAD THE SAME THING HAPPEN AGAIN ON THE SAME FREEWAY AFTER HITTING A BUMP AT A SEAM IN THE ROAD GOING OVER A BRIDGE. THIS HAS HAPPENED ONCE MORE SINCE THEN BUT SEEMINGLY ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE VEHICLE SO NOW IT HAS HAPPENED TWICE ON WHAT FEELS LIKE THE DRIVERS SIDE FRONT AND ONCE ON THE PASSENGER SIDE FRONT. I AM NOW NERVOUS DRIVING AS MOST OF MY MILES ARE DONE ON THE HIGHWAY AND IN OHIO THEY CAN'T SEEM TO GET THE SEAMS OVER BRIDGES SMOOTH SO NOW I AM WHITE KNUCKLING IT EVERY TIME I HAVE TO GO OVER ONE. I STOPPED AT THE DEALERSHIP ON 11-6-2019 AND WAS TOLD THERE IS A RECALL FOR THE STEERING DAMPER THAT NEEDS DONE, I HAVE AN APPOINTMENT ON 11-8-19 TO GET THIS FIXED. I HAVE NOT HAD ANYTHING MAILED TO ME LETTING ME KNOW OF A RECALL AND I JUST HAD MY JEEP THERE FOR SERVICE 2 WEEKS AGO (OIL CHANGE AND TIRE ROTATION). IF THERE WAS A PENDING RECALL SHOULD THEY NOT HAVE ATTENDED TO IT WITHOUT ME HAVING TO EXPERIENCE THE UNDERLYING ISSUE IN THE FIRST PLACE? WHEN I ENTER MY VIN NUMBER ON THIS SITE IT DOESN'T SHOW ANY PENDING RECALLS, DOES CHRYSLER/FIAT KNOW OF THE ISSUE AND ONLY DEAL WITH IT WHEN YOU HAVE IT OR IS THERE AN ACTUAL RECALL THAT SHOULD HAVE BEEN SENT OUT? WHEN DOING 70 ON THE FREEWAY IT IS NOT ALWAYS EASY TO SLOW DOWN OR GET OVER WITHOUT POSSIBLY CAUSING AN ACCIDENT...THEY NEED TO GET THIS TAKEN CARE OF AND CORRECT ANY UNDERLYING ISSUES BEFORE PEOPLE START CAUSING ACCIDENTS AND SOMEONE ENDS UP DEAD!

Mileage: 27,500

I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY WHEN MY JEEP WRANGLER JL HIT A BUMP AND THE CAR STARTED SHAKING UNCONTROLLABLY AND IT WAS VERY DIFFICULT TO DRIVE. I WASN'T SURE WHAT WAS HAPPENING SO I SLOWED DOWN SIGNIFICANTLY IN CASE I NEEDED TO PULL OVER. THE SHAKING THEN STOPPED BUT AFTER ABOUT 15-20 SECONDS. NOT LESS THAT A MILE DOWN THE ROAD DID THIS EXACT SAME THING HAPPEN AGAIN AFTER I HIT A BUMP. IT LASTED JUST AS LONG AND DIDN'T STOP UNTIL I SLOWED DOWN SIGNIFICANTLY. I BELIEVE THIS IS RELATED TO AN ISSUE WITH THE FRONT SUSPENSION AND STEERING COLUMN.

Mileage: 12,000

HAD THE RECALL FOR THE STEERING DAMPENER DONE A COUPLE MONTHS AGO. EXPERIENCING EXTREME VIBRATION AND JERKING OF THE STEERING WHEEL AND VEHICLE AFTER GOING OVER MINOR IMPERFECTIONS IN THE ROAD.

DID NOT HAPPEN PRIOR TO THE RECALL.

ON 9/30/19 AT 4:30AM, ODOMETER READING OF 170 MILES, WHILE AT HIGHWAY SPEED, APPROX 70 MPH, ON I-295, THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO VIOLENTLY SHAKE. IT WAS UNCONTROLLABLE UNTIL MY SPEED REDUCED TO 35 MPH. AT 35 MPH THE SHAKING BEGAN TO SUBSIDE WHILE I CONTINUED TO SLOW TO A STOP. THE INCIDENT APPEARED TO BE TRIGGERED BY A SLIGHT BUMP OR SEAM IN THE PAVEMENT. ON 9/30/19 THE VEHICLE WAS SERVICED AT CHERRY HILL DODGE CHRYSLER JEEP, 1708 W. MARLTON PIKE, CHERRY HILL NJ 08002. THEY DETERMINED CAUSE TO BE FAULTY STEERING DAMPER AND REPLACED IT WITH PART NUMBER 68251580AD WHICH I WAS TOLD WAS AN IMPROVED PART OVER THE ORIGINAL. AT FIRST THE PROBLEM SEEMED TO BE RESOLVED. THEN ON 11/3/19 AT 9:30PM, ODOMETER READING 1,490 MILES THE VIOLENT SHAKING OCCURRED AGAIN. CIRCUMSTANCES WERE THE SAME, TRAVELING AT HIGHWAY SPEED, APPROX 70 MPH, HAD TO REDUCE SPEED TO STOP THE SHAKING, AGAIN ON I-295 BUT DIFFERENT LOCATION, AGAIN APPARENTLY TRIGGERED BY A SLIGHT BUMP OR SEAM IN THE PAVEMENT.

WHEN DRIVING OVER SPEEDS OF 60 MPH ON THE HIGHWAY, AND HITTING EVEN THE SLIGHTEST OF BUMPS, MY JEEP STEERING WAS UNCONTROLLABLE, AND I IMAGINE THIS IS THE "DEATH WOBBLE" I HAVE HEARD ABOUT OCCURRING IN JEEPS. THE ONLY WAY TO MANAGE IT WAS TO SLOW WAY DOWN TO 35 MPH AND AVOID BUMPS OF ANY KIND.

I BOUGHT THIS BRAND NEW AND DID NOT MODIFY IT. A FEW MONTHS AFTER PURCHASE, IT STARTED VIOLENTLY SHAKING AFTER I HIT A BUMP AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. ON 3/7/19, THE DEALERSHIP REPLACED THE STEERING WHEEL DAMPENER. IT STILL WASN'T FIXED SO I BROUGHT IT IN AGAIN ON 4/12/19 AND THEY REPLACED THE SAME PART. IT SEEMED TO FIX IT FOR THE MOST PART BUT NOW IT'S BACK TO THE VIOLENTLY SHAKING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. I HAVE AN APPOINTMENT ON THURSDAY 11/7/19 FOR THEM TO FIX IT AGAIN SO I CAN DRIVE MY BRAND NEW CAR. I HAVE READ THAT THIS IS NOT A SAFETY ISSUE, BUT I ASSURE YOU IT IS. I CAN'T CONTROL THE STEERING WHEEL UNTIL I SLOW DOWN TO ABOUT 45. GOING FROM 65 TO 45 ON A HIGHWAY WHILE THE WHOLE CAR IS SHAKING IS IN FACT A HAZARD. I AM GOING TO REQUEST COPIES OF MY SERVICE CONTRACTS WHEN I GET TO THE DEALERSHIP ON THURSDAY. IF YOU SHOULD NEED THEM, I CAN SEND THEM TO YOU.*DT*JB

SIMILAR TO THE OCTOBER 30TH POST, DURING COLD MORNINGS (BELOW 45), WHEN FIRST GETTING ON THE ROAD I HAVE HAD SEVERE STEERING ISSUES. ON TWO SEPARATE OCCASIONS IN THE PAST WEEK, WHILE TRYING TO MAKE VERY SLIGHT LEFT TURNS TO STAY ON THE ROAD, IT HAS FELT AS IF POWER STEERING NO LONGER FUNCTIONS. DURING MY DRIVE THIS MORNING I HAD TO SLAM THE BRAKES AND PULL VERY HARD TO THE LEFT TO AVOID DRIVING INTO THE SAFETY RAIL (I WAS GOING APPROXIMATELY 40 MPH ON COUNTY ROAD). THE CONDITION GRADUALLY IMPROVES AND WITHIN 5-10 MINUTES APPEARS NO MORE. A FEW DAYS EARLIER I MADE IT LESS THAN A MILE DOWN THE SAME ROAD AND THE STEERING WAS SO UNRESPONSIVE I TURNED AROUND AS I FELT THE VEHICLE WAS UNSAFE TO DRIVE AND TOOK ANOTHER VEHICLE TO WORK. THAT MORNING MY TIRE SENSOR SHOWED VERY LOW PRESSURE SO I ASSUMED THAT WAS CAUSING THE STEERING ISSUE, BUT UPON TALKING WITH JEEP SERVICE THE TIRE SENSOR ALARM IS LIKELY DUE TO LOW TEMPS AND THE STEERING SHOULD NOT HAVE BEEN AFFECTED. I SPOKE WITH LOCAL JEEP SERVICE DEPARTMENT THIS AFTERNOON AND THEY ARE HAVING ME DROP OFF THE VEHICLE TOMORROW TO INVESTIGATE THE ISSUE.

FOLLOW UP TO SAFETY ISSUE ID 11164549 (STOCK VEHICLE) DEALERSHIP REPLACED STEERING DAMPER PER "STAR" RECOMMENDATION AT 2830 MILES DUE TO COMPLAINT OF "WOBBLE". I HAVE DRIVEN WITHOUT AN ISSUE UNTIL LAST WEEK AT 8450 MILES WHEN I HIT A TRANSITION/BUMP IN THE ROAD. JEEP "WOBBLES" ALL OVER THE ROAD AND DOESN'T STOP UNTIL SPEEDS ARE BELOW AT LEAST 40 MPH- NOT EXACTLY SAFE TO DO ON THE FREEWAY! TOOK JEEP BACK TO DEALERSHIP AND THEY (AGAIN) REPLACED DAMPER TODAY (RECALL PART V-41). FIRST BUMP IN THE ROAD AND THE JEEP STARTED TO WOBBLE. WAITING FOR A RESPONSE FROM THE DEALERSHIP. THIS VEHICLE IS NOT SAFE TO DRIVE AND THIS RECALL IS POINTLESS! PAPERWORK FROM THE DEALERSHIP STATES: "THE FACTORY RECALL CONCERNS A SIGNIFICANT SAFETY OR OPERATIONAL ISSUES. THERE IS RISK TO YOU AND OTHERS SHOULD YOU DRIVE THE VEHICLE WITHOUT THE FACTORY RECALL SERVICES BEING COMPLETED. WE ADVISE YOU THEREFORE NOT TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE UNTIL THE FACTORY RECALL IS PERFORMED. SO, RECALL DONE....APPARENTLY IT'S STILL NOT SAFE!!

WE DROVE OUR 2018 JEEP WRANGLER ABOUT 15 MPH DOWN A RESIDENTIAL STREET, SLOWED DOWN, TURNED RIGHT, AND THE STEERING WHEEL LOCKED UP! IT WOULD NOT MOVE AT ALL AND THE CAR WAS STILL RUNNING. WE HAD PURCHASED THE CAR ON OCT. 1, 2019, FROM A LOCAL CAR DEALERSHIP. THE DEALERSHIP HAD BEEN USING THIS CAR AS A LOANER VEHICLE FOR FOUR MONTHS. THE NEXT WEEKEND WE TRAVELED TO SUGAR GROVE, IL, TO VISIT RELATIVES. ON SATURDAY AFTERNOON, ONE OWNER ENTERED THE PASSENGER SIDE OF THE CAR TO PROGRAM AN ADDRESS IN THE NAVIGATION APP. HE USED THE ACC FUNCTION WITHOUT FULLY TURNING ON THE CAR. AFTER 15-20 MINUTES, THE CO-OWNER ENTERED THE DRIVER'S SIDE OF THE CAR AND DID NOT TURN THE ACC OFF BEFORE PUSHING THE BRAKE PEDAL AND STARTING THE CAR. THAT IS WHEN, AFTER A SLOW RIGHT TURN, THE STEERING WHEEL LOCKED UP AND WOULD NOT BUDGE. THE DRIVER TURNED THE CAR OFF AND THEN ON SEVERAL TIMES AND THEN TRIED PUTTING THE CAR IN REVERSE. FINALLY THE STEERING WHEEL MOVED. WE WERE SEVERAL HUNDRED MILES FROM HOME IN A CAR THAT DID NOT FEEL SAFE. WE CALLED THE NEAREST JEEP DEALER, WHICH WAS IN NORTH AURORA, IL. IT WAS LATE AFTERNOON AND ALMOST CLOSING TIME, BUT THEY TOLD US TO BRING IT OVER AND THEY WOULD SEE WHAT THEY COULD DO. THEY ENTERED THE CAR'S VIN IN THE COMPUTER AND FOUND THAT A RECALL FOR A STEERING DAMPER (V41) HAD NOT BEEN DONE. THEY DID NOT HAVE THE PART IN STOCK, BUT WERE SURE THAT THIS WOULD NOT HAVE CAUSED THE STEERING WHEEL TO LOCK UP. NEXT, THEY DID SOME TESTS ON THE VEHICLE BUT DID NOT FIND ANYTHING. WE FELT EXTREMELY NERVOUS, BUT DROVE IT HOME AND TOOK IT TO THE SELLER'S DEALERSHIP. THEY REPLACED THE RECALLED STEERING DAMPER AND DID A TSB 08-092-18 TO ADDRESS A STEERING ISSUE. THEN THEY TOLD US THAT THERE WERE NO GUARANTEES THAT IT WOULDN'T HAPPEN AGAIN BECAUSE THEY DID NOT KNOW WHAT CAUSED THE STEERING WHEEL TO LOCK UP. THIS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS SAFETY ISSUE NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED!

DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE AND HIT A BUMP IN THE ROAD AROUND 65MPH WHEN THE VIOLENT DEATH WOBBLE HAPPENED. GRABBED THE STEERING WHEEL WITH BOTH HANDS AND WAS ABLE TO STEER TO THE EMERGENCY LANE AND SLOW DOWN TO ABOUT 35MPH WHEN IT STOPPED. I CONTINUED ON MY WAY AND HAVEN'T HAD THE PROBLEM RETURN. THE JEEP ONLY HAS ABOUT 6300 MILES ON IT. IT HAS NEVER BEEN DRIVEN OFF-ROAD. I HAVE ALWAYS FELT THE STEERING HAS BEEN RATHER LOOSE FOR A NEW VEHICLE COMPARED TO OTHERS I'VE DRIVEN. CONTACTED THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID THERE IS A RECALL (V41) FOR A STEERING DAMPENER PART THAT IS ON BACKORDER THAT SHOULD TAKE CARE OF THE DEATH WOBBLE. WE SHALL SEE...

MY 2018 JEEP WRANGLER, STOCK, HIGHWAY DRIVEN ONLY, HAD ITS DAMPER RECALL COMPLETED AND IMMEDIATELY HAD THE DEATH WOBBLE HAPPEN SEVERAL TIMES. VERY SCARY AND DANGEROUS. THE DEALERS TELL YOU THEY DID THE FIX, BUT IT DOES NOT WORK. SOMEONE IS GOING TO GET KILLED. JEEP MUST BE MADE TO FIX THIS PROBLEM NOW. THERE FIX IS ONLY A PUBLICITY STATEMENT, NOT A FIX. PLEASE HELP. OTHERS SAY THEY CAN FIX IT BUT IT COSTS ABOUT $3,000. THE WARRANTY SHOULD FIX IT.

I NOTICED AS SOON AS THE TEMPERATURE DROPPED BELOW 45 DEGREES THAT THE STEERING BECAME STIFF/DIFFICULT WHEN TURNING. I WILL GIVE A COUPLE OF EXAMPLES OF THIS ISSUE. ON ONE OCCASION, I WAS PULLING OUT OF MY DRIVEWAY AND WAS ATTEMPTING TO TURN LEFT ONTO MY STREET. THE STEERING WHEEL DID NOT WANT TO TURN AND I HAD TO MUSCLE THROUGH THE TURN. ON ANOTHER OCCASION, I WAS TURNING ON A EXPRESSWAY RAMP AT THE POSITION OF THE STEERING WHEEL FELT AS IF THERE WAS A KNOT THAT I HAD TO ROLL ONTO EITHER SIDE TO CONTROL THE VEHICLE. THE ISSUE WITH MY VEHICLE HAPPENS WHEN IT'S BELOW 45 DEGREES AND THE VEHICLE IS COLD. THE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION AND THE ISSUE IS MORE PREVALENT ON THE STREET AND LESS PREVALENT (BUT NOTICEABLE) ON THE HIGHWAY. THE PROBLEM ONLY OCCURS WHEN TURNING. LAST WINTER I ASKED THE DEALERSHIP TO LOOK AT THE STEERING AND THEY REPORTED EVERYTHING WAS FINE. THIS WINTER (2019) I BROUGHT THE VEHICLE IN FOR SERVICE. THE TECHNICIAN REPORTED HE FOUND THE ISSUE ONLINE AND CORRECTED THE ISSUE. UNFORTUNATELY, THE ISSUE IS NOT RESOLVED AND THE VEHICLE IS STILL DANGEROUS TO DRIVE.

THE FIRST TIME I EXPERIENCED MY STEERING LOCKING UP ON ME I WAS GOING THROUGH AN S CURVE ABOUT 15-20 MPH AND WHEN TURNED TO THE RIGHT MY STEERING WHEEL SUDDENLY FELT AS IF IT WAS STUCK IN THAT POSITION ABOUT 30 DEGREES TO THE RIGHT OF CENTER. I HAD TO YANK THE STEERING WHEEL TO THE LEFT REALLY HARD IN ORDER FOR IT TO BREAK FREE FROM THAT LOCKED POSITION. THIS SCARED ME SO MUCH I DROVE MY JEEP STRAIGHT TO THE DEALERSHIP. THE DEALERSHIP PROCEEDED TO CHECK FOR RECALLS OR TSB'S AND OTHER COMPUTER CHECKS AND COULDN'T FIND ANYTHING. FROM THERE THEY TRIED TO REPLICATE THE STEERING PROBLEM BUT COULD NOT SO I WAS LEFT WITH NO ANSWERS. AFTER READING MANY POSTS OF OTHER PEOPLE WITH THE NEW JL MODEL HAVING THE SAME ISSUE I DECIDED TO LEAVE MY JEEP OUTSIDE IN THE COLD AND TEST DRIVE IT WHEN THE ENGINE IS COLD. I FOUND THAT MY STEERING WHEEL FELT LIKE THE POWER STEERING WAS OUT. THE STEERING WHEEL WAS CATCHING IN MANY PLACES, BUT AGAIN WORSE TO THE RIGHT. IN MY OPINION IT SEEMS TO BE SOME KIND OF POWER STEERING ISSUE.

JUST HAD THE STEERING DAMPER RECALL PERFORMED - NEVER HAD ANY WOBBLE ISSUES BEFORE COMPLETING THE RECALL. I COMPLETED THE RECALL AS I THOUGHT THAT WAS WHAT GOOD CAR OWNERS DO. NOW, JUST 3 DAYS LATER I AM EXPERIENCING THE WOBBLE AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. VERY SCARY! HAD THE ENTIRE FAMILY IN THE CAR COMING HOME FROM DINNER - DID NOT HIT ANY IRREGULAR BUMPS OR ANYTHING OUT OF THE NORM. WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY ON A STRETCH WE DRIVE ALMOST DAILY AND OUT OF NOWHERE, JUST HITTING SOME "NORMAL" MICHIGAN ROAD BUMPS THE STEERING WHEEL AND FRONT END STARTED SHAKING. IT EVENTUALLY STOPPED ITSELF - BUT THEN HAPPENED 5 MORE TIMES. WE DID NOT KNOW WHAT WAS GOING ON AS WE WERE NOT AWARE OF THE ISSUE OR EVEN WHY THERE WAS A RECALL REPAIR. AFTER GETTING HOME AND SEARCHING THE INTERNET I FOUND ALL SORTS OF COMPLAINTS AND THE REASONING BEHIND THE RECALL. IRONICALLY AGAIN, I DID NOT HAVE THE ISSUE BEFORE I HAD THE RECALL WORK COMPLETED. AFTER READING THE ARTICLE I IMMEDIATELY LEFT A MESSAGE FOR MY SERVICE MANAGER AT THE DEALERSHIP AND THEN LOOKED UNDER THE JEEP TO CONFIRM THAT IN-FACT THE PART WAS REPLACED AND HAD THE CORRECT PART NUMBER. I DO WANT TO MENTION THAT EVEN BEFORE THE WOBBLE I DID MENTION TO MY WIFE AND NOTICE THAT I THOUGHT THAT THE STEERING WAS A BIT MORE "LOOSE" AFTER GETTING THE CAR BACK. NOT SURE IF THAT IS RELEVANT, BUT THOUGHT I WOULD NOTE THAT HERE AS WELL.

I EXPERIENCED RAPID STEERING OSCILLATION THIS LAST THURSDAY 10/17/19 ON MY *NEW 2018 WRANGLER JLU (NOT LIFTED) WHILE TAKING A TRIP OUT OF TOWN. WE HIT A RAILROAD TRACK AT AROUND 55 MPH AND IT WENT FULL-ON RAPID STEERING OSCILLATION (DEATH WOBBLE). HAD TO PULL OFF THE ROAD AND STOP THE VEHICLE FOR THE DW TO STOP. STOPPED BY AN OUT OF TOWN DEALER IN PASO ROBLES, CA AND THEY SAID THE RECENTLY REPLACED (RECALL V41) STEERING STABILIZER WAS INSTALLED UPSIDE DOWN. I HAVE NOW ORDERED A NEW RUBICON EXPRESS TRACK BAR AND FOX 2.0 STABILIZER TO SEE IF THIS WILL HELP ELIMINATE THE WOBBLE. I'VE OWNED TWO JK JEEP WRANGLERS IN THE PAST AND DIDN'T EXPERIENCE ANY OF OSCILLATION. *PURCHASED NEW 2018 JLU WRANGLER FROM DEALER LAST MONTH. THE MILEAGE AT THE TIME OF THE EVENT WAS APPROXIMATELY 1,400 MILES.

STEERING HAS PLAY/DEAD AREA WHEN DRIVING. ROAD IRREGULARITIES CAUSE IT TO STEER DRAMATICALLY AND SUDDENLY (BUMP STEER). CORRECTING THE BUMP STEER REQUIRES LARGE STEERING WHEEL INPUTS (SAWING OF STEERING WHEEL). ROAD "S" TURNS MAGNIFIES DEAD AREA OF STEERING WHEN REVERSAL OF DIRECTION IS STEERED. HIGHER SPEEDS MAGNIFY THE FEELING THAT THE STEERING IS LOOSE OR NOT TIGHTLY CONNECTED. THERE IS A NOTABLE TIME LAG IN A STEERING INPUT. A FAMILY MEMBER THAT HAVE DROVE IT CALLED IT "SQUIRRELY" . MY WIFE REFUSES TO DRIVE IT. AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS (50-70 MPH), THE FRONT TIRES WILL SHIMMY IF A BUMP IS ENCOUNTERED ON THE INTERSTATE.

ON THREE OCCASIONS IN THE PAST 2 WEEKS, I EXPERIENCED A TERRIFYING VIOLENT SHAKING OF THE ENTIRE FRONT OF THE CAR WHILE DRIVING ON HIGHWAYS.HARROWING EVENT, THOUGHT WAS GOING TO GET INTO A HORRIBLE ACCIDENT. THIS IS A LEASE VEHICLE WITH ONLY 5500 MILES AT THE TIME THESE SCARY EVENTS TOOK PLACE.

WHEN GOING OVER A BUMP AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS THE VEHICLE SOMETIMES STARTS TO SHAKE VIOLENTLY WITH THE STEERING WHEEL AND ENTIRE VEHICLE WOBBLING UNCONTROLLABLY. THE ONLY WAY TO BRING THE VEHICLE BACK UNDER CONTROL IS TO SLOW DOWN OR SOMETIMES BRING IT TO A COMPLETE STOP. THIS CREATES A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION WHEN ON THE EXPRESSWAY AND YOU HAVE TO SLOW DOWN OR STOP FROM GOING 75 MPH WITH TRAFFIC. THE DEALER HAS PUT IN TWO DIFFERENT STEERING DAMPERS AND THE PROBLEM IS STILL THERE. IT IS NOT SAFE TO DRIVE ON THE HIGHWAY.

DRIVING ALONG HIGHWAY SPEEDS, 70-75MPH AND HIT SLIGHTLY UNEVEN TERRAIN (THE LIP FROM A BRIDGE ONTO THE HIGHWAY) THE VEHICLE BEGAN SHAKING UNCONTROLLABLY. THIS CONTINUED FOR A WHILE UNTIL I EVENTUALLY WAS FORCED TO SLOW DOWN BY PULLING TOWARDS THE SHOULDER. I HAVE RESEARCHED THIS PROBLEM AND I CAN SEE NUMEROUS PEOPLE CALLING IT BY THE TERM "JEEP DEATH WOBBLE". THE ISSUE IS ROUGHLY THE EXACT SAME AS EVERYONE ELSE. MY VEHICLE HAS BEEN CHECKED BY THE DEALER AND THEY STATE THEY SERVICED IT BY REPLACING THE STEERING DAMPER HOWEVER THE ISSUE HAS STILL CONTINUED AFTER THAT. IT IS RANDOM HOWEVER EXTREMELY SCARY WHEN TRAVELING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS AND HAVING THE VEHICLE UNCONTROLLABLY SHAKE UNTIL YOU HAVE TO SLOW DOWN, WHICH IS NOT EASY TO DO ON A BUSY HIGHWAY.

I AM HAVING THE SAME ISSUE AS MANY OTHERS. I HAVE A VERY LOSE AND "WANDERING" STEERING PROBLEM. THERE IS ABOUT A 1" DEAD SPOT ON THE WHEEL THAT YOU CAN MOVE WITHOUT ANYTHING HAPPENING.

SINCE OWNERSHIP OF THE 2018 JEEP WRANGLER JL IT HAS HAD A STEERING PROBLEM AND IT WILL WANDER AND YOU WILL HAVE TO CONSTANTLY DEATH GRIP THE WHEEL AT ALL TIMES WITH BOTH HANDS. BUMP CAN AND WILL JERK THE CAR WHICH CAN THROW IT INTO ANOTHER LANE THUS DAMAGING VEHICLES OR SERIOUSLY HURTING ME/OTHERS AND MAY CAUSE DEATH. I HAVE CONTACTED FCA ABOUT THIS MATTER, THEY HAVE ISSUED A RECALL TO FIX THIS PROBLEM. THE JEEP HAS BEEN LIFTED PER A MOPAR (MANUFACTURER) LIFT 2.5" WITH 35" TIRES WHICH ARE BY NO MEANS OVER SIZED. FCA STATED IN A PHONE CALL WITH ME THAT THEY WANT TO SEE IT WHEN STOCK TIRES, THEN THEY COULD HELP, HOW WOULD HAVING 31" (STOCK) TIRES BE SAFE THAT IS A ROLLOVER WAITING TO HAPPEN. THIS STEERING IS MOST NOTABLE AROUND 50+MPH AND CAN BE SCARY TO DRIVE ON THE HIGHWAY/INTERSTATE AS SOME LANES ARE NARROW.

STIFF STEERING IN COOL WEATHER. EXACT LIKENESS TO COMPLAINT DATED, OCTOBER 8, 2019 NHTSA ID NUMBER: 11267140, WITH SIMILAR VIN. COMPONENTS: STEERING WHILE DRIVING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS WITH OUTSIDE TEMPERATURES IN 30 TO 50 DEGREES FAHRENHEIT, THE STEERING STIFFENS TO THE POINT THAT THE FORCE TO OVERCOME THE STIFFNESS AND CONTINUE INTO THE CURVE CREATES UNSAFE DRIVING CONDITION. THIS CONCERN WAS EXPRESSED TO THE DEALERSHIP'S MECHANICS, BUT WERE NOT ABLE TO RECREATE THE SAME EXPERIENCE. VEHICLE WAS BOUGHT IN DECEMBER 2018. STIFFNESS IN STEERING WAS FIRST NOTICED IN THE SPRING OF 2019. NO PROBLEMS THROUGH SUMMER OF 2019. STEERING STIFFNESS RESURFACED LAST WEEK WITH FALL TEMPERATURES DROPPING INTO THE 30'S. THIS MORNING, 10/15/2019, STEERING WAS WORSE THEN AND MORE DIFFICULT TO OVERCOME. I HAVE NOT SCHEDULED FOR DAMPNER SERVICE TO DATE.

MY JEEP BEGAN WOBBLING A FEW MONTHS AFTER I PURCHASED IT LAST JULY 2018.WOBBLING HAS ONLY OCCURRED WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY. THEY DID A COMPUTER UPDATE LAST YEAR THAT WAS SUPPOSE TO FIX THE PROBLEM BUT ON 10/5/19 MY JEEP BEGAN TO WOBBLE UNCONTROLLABLY ANY TIME I REACHED 50 OR ABOVE. I TOOK IT IN ON MONDAY 10/13 AND WAS TOLD THE PROBLEM WAS REPAIRED BUT THE NEXT DAY WHILE DOING 50MPH IT BEGAN TO WOBBLE. THE TEMPERATURE READS 800 DEGREES RANDOMLY SINCE THE START AND THEY FINALLY TOLD ME PROBLEM WAS FIXED. THE CARS STALLS RANDOMLY AT RED LIGHTS AND I NEED TO TURN IT OFF AND RESTART IT. WHEN THIS HAPPENS THE GAS PETAL LOCKS AND I AM NOT ABLE TO DO ANYTHING UNLESS I RESTART THE CAR. THIS ALSO HAPPENED ONE TIME WHILE I WAS REVERSING THE CAR WHEN I SHIFT TO DRIVE THE CAR DID NOT MOVE AND THE PETAL LOCKED. MY RADIO HAS BEEN REPLACED 3 TIMES BECAUSE IT DOES NOT WORK PROPERLY AND THEY THOUGH THAT WAS THE REASON WHY THE TEMPERATURE WAS READING 800 DEGREES. STILL READ 800 DEGREE 3 RADIO'S LATER FOR. THE ENGINE MAKES A CLICK SOUND EVERY SO OFTEN NOT SURE WHAT THAT IS ABOUT.

THE STEERING WANDERS AND REQUIRES CONSTANT CORRECTION FROM DRIVER. CROSSING OVER BUMPY TERRAIN CAUSES THE VEHICLE TO JERK, EVEN AFTER I HAD THE STEERING DAMPER REPLACED.

IT'S HAPPENED TWICE WITH 4 DAYS AND HAS BEEN TO THE DEALERSHIP TWICE NOW (HAD IT TOWED FROM MY PLACE OF WORK THE DAY IT HAPPENS ON 10/4/19 AND HAPPENED AGAIN TODAY, 10/8/19). I HAVE ALREADY COME SO CLOSE TO BEING IN ONE ACCIDENT DUE TO THIS ISSUE. NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE--OTHER THAN THE V41 RECALL REPAIR (NEW DAMPER).

COMPLAINED TO THE DEALER (SOLOMON CHRYSLER JEEP) SEVERAL TIMES ABOUT LOOSE STEERING / A DEAD SPOT. THE FIRST COUPLE TIMES THEY TOLD ME THEY FOUND NOTHING WRONG AND IT WAS A JEEP THING. THE LAST TIME I TOOK IT TO THEM THE SERVICE PERSON SAID THAT HE THOUGHT IT WAS LOOSE COMPARED TO HIS DAUGHTERS JEEP. HE DID SOME RESEARCH AND FOUND SOME INFO STATING TO REPLACE THE TRACK BAR. I BROUGHT IT BACK AT A LATER DATE FOR THEM TO REPLACE IT AND WHEN I WENT TO PICK IT UP HE TOLD ME THAT HE THOUGHT IT WAS A LITTLE BIT BETTER BUT NOT COMPLETELY. HE ASKED ME TO DRIVE IT AND GET BACK TO HIM ON WHAT I THOUGHT. I DROVE IT FOR A DAY AND CALLED HIM BACK TO LET HIM KNOW THAT IT WAS NOT FIXED. HE SAID HE WOULD GET WITH CHRYSLER AND GET BACK TO ME. A COUPLE WEEKS WENT BY AND HEARD NOTHING SO I CALLED THEM AND HE SAID THE TECH REP FROM CHRYSLER SAID TO TELL ME THAT THE JEEP WAS NORMAL. I ASKED WHAT I COULD DO AT THIS POINT AND HE SAID I COULD FILE A COMPLAINT WITH CHRYSLER. I DID CALL THEM AND THEY GAVE ME A CASE NUMBER AND RECOMMENDED I TAKE IT TO ANOTHER DEALER. I SET UP AN APPOINTMENT WITH CAR RIGHT CHRYSLER JEEP IN MOON TOWNSHIP PA AND THEY ALSO TOLD ME THAT THEY FOUND NO PROBLEM. THE CASE WORKER FROM CHRYSLER CALLED ME BACK AND SAID SHE GOT THE INFO FROM THE DEALER THAT THEY ALSO FOUND NOTHING WRONG. SHE SAID I COULD TAKE IT TO ANOTHER DEALER OR FILE A COMPLAINT HERE. I DID NOT SEE MUCH SENSE IN TAKING IT TO ANOTHER DEALER. I AM NOT GOING AS FAR AS TO SAY IT IS UNSAFE FOR ME TO DRIVE BUT I AM SAYING IT IS NOT RIGHT. I GUESS THAT THE BEST WAY TO EXPLAIN IT IS IT GETS TIRING TO DRIVE IT BECAUSE YOU CONSTANTLY HAVE TO MAKE CORRECTIONS BACK AND FORTH WITH THE STEERING WHEEL TO KEEP IN THE LANE. FOR WHAT IT IS WORTH I HAVE A DAUGHTER THAT IS A NEW DRIVER AND I DO NOT FEEL COMFORTABLE TO LET HER DRIVE IT BECAUSE OF THE STEERING.

MY STEERING IS VERY STIFF AND ALMOST LOCKING UP AT HIGHER SPEEDS. THE STEERING FEELS ALMOST LIKE YOU LOOSE ALL POWER STEERING. I HAVE ALREADY HAD THE ALUMINUM GEAR BOX REPLACED B OF THE STEERING LOCKING TO THE LEFT. I BOUGHT THIS JEEP BRAND NEW AND HAVE HAD NOTHING BUT ISSUES. THIS IS MY PRIMARY VEHICLE AND I HAVE A DAUGHTER I TRANSPORT IN THE JEEP! THIS NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED AND FIXED ASAP!

2018 JEEP WRANGLER SAHARA, COMPLETELY UNMODIFIED, EXHIBITED VIOLENT STEERING SHAKE OR "DEATH WOBBLE" WHEN ENCOUNTERING ROAD IMPERFECTIONS SUCH AS BRIDGE EXPANSION JOINTS AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. CONDITION INTENSIFIES UNTIL SPEED IS BROUGHT DOWN TO APPROXIMATELY 45 MPH (VERY DANGEROUS IN HIGHWAY TRAFFIC). THE DEALER WAS FAMILIAR WITH THE ISSUE AND WAS EASILY ABLE TO REPLICATE DURING A TEST DRIVE. THE DEALER INSPECTED THE TRACK BAR AND REPLACED THE STEERING STABILIZER. UNFORTUNATELY THE VIOLENT STEERING SHAKE (DEATH WOBBLE) PERSISTS WHEN ENCOUNTERING UNEVEN ROAD SURFACES AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. THE NEW STEERING STABILIZER HELPS THE VEHICLE RECOVER FROM THE CONDITION, BUT THE VEHICLE STILL CONTINUES TO GO INTO FULL BLOWN DEATH WOBBLE. THIS IS AN EXTREMELY UNSAFE CONDITION THAT ENDANGERS NOT ONLY THE OCCUPANTS OF THE JEEP BUT ALSO FELLOW HIGHWAY USERS. I HAVE DRIVEN MORE THAN 400,000 MILES IN JEEP WRANGLERS AND HAVE NEVER ENCOUNTERED SUCH A DANGEROUS DEFECT IN ANY VEHICLE.

I NOTICED ON THE JEEP FORUMS THERE ARE MANY COMPLAINTS ON THIS EXACT TOPIC FOR THE JEEP WRANGLER JL. WHY IS JEEP NOT DOING A RECALL ON THIS DANGEROUS ISSUE?

I BOUGHT THE JEEP WITH 3K MILES, AFTER 6500 MILES I NOTICED MY TIRES WERE NOT WEARING CORRECTLY, I WAS TOLD I NEEDED TO HAVE THEM ROTATED MORE OFTEN & IT WOULD ELIMINATE THAT, WHILE IT WAS THERE THEY FIXED THE RECALLED STEERING DAMPER. AFTER A COUPLE OF WEEKS I STARTED HAVING ISSUES WITH MY AIR, THE DEALER TOLD ME IT WAS NORMAL PER CHRYSLER. I EXPLAINED WHAT WAS HAPPENING WAS NOT WHAT CHRYSLER STATED. AFTER DEALING WITH THIS, I STARTED NOTICING MY JEEP SHAKING WHEN I WOULD CROSS OVER CERTAIN BRIDGES. TOOK BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP, THEY SAID I NEEDED A FRONT END ALIGNMENT & AFTER CONVINCING THEM THAT MY AIR WAS NOT RIGHT THEY DECIDED TO FIX THE INTEGRATED CENSOR. AFTER KEEPING MY JEEP OVER A WEEK WHEN I PICKED IT UP, IT WAS WORSE THAN WHEN I DROPPED IT OFF. THEY TOLD ME TO TAKE IT BACK DUE TO THE TIRES NEEDED TO BE BALANCED, IN THE MEANTIME EVERY BUMP IN THE ROAD I WOULD HIT IT WOULD SHAKE UNCONTROLLABLE. IT REALLY SCARES ME ESPECIALLY WHEN I AM ON THE HWY GOING 70, HIT A BUMP, THE ONLY WAY TO STOP IT IS TO SLOW DOWN A RIDICULOUS SPEED, WITH CARS/TRUCKS GOING 70+ ON THE HWY, I CAN GET REAR ENDED. I HAVE CALLED THE DEALERSHIP AGAIN & WAS TOLD BASICALLY THIS WAS A NORMAL THING WITH JEEPS & THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO. THEY CHECKED THE SUSPENSION & SINCE THEY REPLACED THE STEERING DAMPER THEY HAVE DONE ALL THEY CAN, I PRETTY MUCH HAVE TO DEAL WITH IT, HOWEVER THEY DID OFFER A FEW NAMES OF COMPANIES THAT WILL "FIX" THIS FOR ME. AFTER READING FORUMS I AM DISCOVERING THIS IS A HUGE ISSUE, CHRYSLER/JEEP REALLY NEEDS TO OWN & FIX THIS. I SHOULDNT HAVE TO BUY A VEHICLE & JUST ACCEPT A DEATH WOBBLE AS PART OF THE OWNERSHIP, ESPECIALLY IF YOU KNOW THIS IS HAPPENING & WHAT IS CAUSING THIS ISSUE. ALL I WANT IS IT FIXED THAT IS ALL & I SHOULDNT HAVE TO FORK OUT THE MONEY TO GET THAT DONE.

2018 WRANGLER JLU 23,000 MILES. NO MODIFICATIONS AT ALL, HAD THE STEERING STABILIZER REPLACED BY THE DEALER TODAY FOR THE THIRD TIME. STEERING SHAKE BEGAN AT ABOUT 12,000 MILES, HIGHWAY SPEEDS HITTING SMALL POT HOT, BUMP OR EXPANSION JOINT ON A BRIDGE. STEERING WOULD SHAKE VIOLENTLY AND MAKE IT VERY HARD TO CONTROL. PROBLEM WENT AWAY AFTER STEERING STABILIZER WAS REPLACED BY SELLING DEALER. PROBLEM HAS RETURNED AND WAS BROUGHT BACK TO SAME DEALER FOR REPAIRS. THEY SAID THERE WAS AN OPEN RECALL ON THE STEERING STABILIZER THAT JUST CAME OUT AND WAS TO REPAIR "DEATH WOBBLE" THEY WERE CONFIDENT IT WAS FIXED. ROAD TESTED AFTER AND SAID IT GOOD TO GO. I DROVE IT AND IT HAPPENED THE VERY NEXT DAY. I BROUGHT IT BACK AND THEY WERE NOT ABLE TO DUPLICATE IT BUT AGREED TO REPLACE THE RECALL PART. SAID MAYBE THEY GOT A DEFECTIVE ONE. BROUGHT BACK TO DEALER TODAY THEY INSTALLED ANOTHER NEW UPDATED STEERING STABILIZER. THE SERVICE MANAGER AN I WENT FOR A RIDE AFTER THE THIRD STEERING STABILIZER WAS INSTALLED. 62-68 MPH SMALL DEFECT IN THE HIGHWAY SURFACE AND THE STEERING WHEEL SHAKES LIKE CRAZY. IN ORDER TO MAKE IT STOP THE JLU NEEDS TO BE SLOWED DOWN BELOW 30 MPH..........NOT SAFE TO DO ON THE HIGHWAY. THIS EVENING AS I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY THE STEERING BEGAN TO SHAKE VIOLENTLY AGAIN. I TRIED TO FIND A SAFE SPOT TO SLOW DOWN. I WAS ALMOST HIT FROM BEHIND BY AN 18 WHEELER. I TRIED TO TURN THE WHEEL IN AN EMERGENCY MANEUVER TO AVOID BEING REAR ENDED AND THE STEERING WAS NOT VERY RESPONSIVE AT ALL. IT WAS UNCONTROLLABLE AND VERY UNSAFE. MYSELF AND MY KIDS WERE VERY SHAKEN UP. WHAT NEEDS TO HAPPEN BEFORE THIS UNSAFE VEHICLE COMPLAINT IS INVESTIGATED??

HAVE HAD THE JEEP FOR ONLY 3 WEEKS NOW AND ON THE SECOND WEEK THE "ENGINE LIGHT" TURNED ON, TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND WAS TOLD IT WAS DUE TO NOT CLOSING TIGHT THE GAS CAP TIGHT WHEN I PUT GAS BUT THE THING IS THAT "I" HAD NOT EVEN FUELED IT BECAUSE I DID NOT HAVE THE JEEP LONG ENOUGH TO NEED TO FUEL IT UP. THE "SESPENSION", STEERING IS VERY WOBBLY TO AND FROM ANY WHERE I DRIVE IT IN TOWN OR CITY AND MORE SO WHEN I DRIVE IT ON THE FREEWAY, IT IS A TASK AND SRUGGLE; ARMS AND HANDS ARE SORE AFTER I GET HOME FOR ME TO TRY TO KEEP IT STEADY , IF I DO NOT STAY FOCUS AND HOLD TIGHT ONTO THE STEERING WHEEL WHEN DRIVING IT , THE JEEP WILL GO ON EITHER TO THE LEFT OR RIGHT. I HAVE TO BE VERY EXTRA FOCUSED AND CAREFUL WHEN CHANGING LANES AS THE MANOUVER WHEN DOING SO OR STREERING TO DRIVE/CHANGING LANES IS NOT PLEASANT NOR STEADY BUT WOBBLY AND IF I DO NOT HOLD ON TIGHT TO THE STEERING WHEEL, THE JEEP WILL GO OFF THE ROAD. THE "BREAKS", WHEN I BREAK, THE JEEP IS LATE IN STOPING, I HAVE TO CALCULATE TO BREAK WAY AHEAD IN ORDER NOT TO HIT THE VEHICLE IN FRONT OF ME ALSO WHEN STARTING BACK UP FROM MY FOOT ON THE BREAK, IT DOES NOT TAKE OFF AS SOON AS I LET OFF THE BREAK AS I EXPEXT IT TO BUT JERKS INSTEAD TAKING TIME TO DRIVE ON AND MOVE. ALSO WHEN TURNING TO THE RIGHT OR LEFT, THE SUSPENSION FEELS LIKE THE STREET OR ROAD IS REALLY BUMPY WHEN ITS NOT. REGRET BUYING A JEEP.

I PURCHASED MY 'NEW' 2018 JL JEEP WRANGLER/RUBICON LESS THAN ONE MONTH AGO. IT HAS UNDER 1400 MILES ON IT AND I HAVE HAD TO GET OUT AND CHECK MY TIRES NUMEROUS TIMES THINKING ONE WAS FLAT BECAUSE IT WAS PULLING TO ONE SIDE. IT IS VERY HARD TO CONTROL AND IT LOOKS LIKE I AM INTOXICATED WHILE DRIVING THIS VEHICLE. IT LOOKS LIKE ONE RECALL ON THE STEERING DAMPER WAS REPLACED BEFORE THE PURCHASE, BUT NOT EVEN SURE IF IT WAS REALLY REPLACED. THE LEFT REAR SHOCK WAS LEAKING AND SUPPOSABLY REPLACED TOO. UNDER WARRANTY OF COURSE. I WILL BE CONTACTING A CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP TOMORROW AND CALLING JEEP. I WANT THEM TO CHECK THE ALIGNMENT, STEERING AND MAKE SURE THE RECALL WAS COMPLETED PROPERLY. I WILL BE TAKING IT TO A DIFFERENT DEALERSHIP THAN THE ONE THAT I PURCHASED IT FROM. I AM DEVASTATED AND WORRIED ABOUT MY SAFETY, MY FAMILY'S SAFETY AND THE SAFETY OF OTHERS ON THE RODE. CHRYSLER NEEDS TO ADDRESS THIS ISSUE. I WILL ALSO BE HAVING A SPECIALIST CHECKING THE WELDS AS WELL AFTER READING THROUGH THESE COMPLAINTS. WITH WINTER ON ITS WAY, I WILL HAVE NO CHOICE BUT TO DRIVE IT. IT WILL BE SCARY ON TREACHEROUS WINTER ROADS. I ALSO WAS DRIVING AN AVG OF 68 ON A TWO LANE HIGHWAY AND WENT OVER A SMALL SMOOTH BUMP IN THE ROAD... THE KIND THAT MAKES YOUR STOMACH TICKLE.... I ABOUT LOST CONTROL. IT IS SO HARD TO KEEP IN YOUR DRIVING LANE. I HAVE DROVE A JEEP SINCE 2010 AND ALWAYS SAID I WOULDN'T BUY ANYTHING ELSE. I REALLY HOPE CHRYSLER WILL TAKE CARE OF THEIR JEEP FAMILY AND FIX THIS PROBLEM. MAKES ME SICK TO THINK I JUST SPENT $43000 ON A VEHICLE I SHOULDN'T DRIVE. THE PREMIUM AUDIO IS ALSO 'NOT PREMIUM'.... AWFUL. VARIOUS SPEEDS, VARIOUS MILEAGE AT TIME OF EVENTS- NOTICE RIGHT AWAY AFTER PURCHASE, HOWEVER THOUGHT I JUST NEEDED TO GET USE TO DRIVING A NEW VEHICLE.

Mileage: 150

I HAVE BROUGHT MY 2018 JL WRANGLER IN FOR SPEED WOBBLES 4X. WHILE I WOULD CONSIDER MY PREVIOUS EXPERIENCES WITH THIS ISSUE MINOR, WHAT I EXPERIENCED ON 9/27/2019 WAS ENTIRELY DIFFERENT. I WAS ALMOST IN AN ACCIDENT ON THE HIGHWAY BECAUSE WHEN I HIT A BUMP AT APPROXIMATELY 80 MPH THE JEEP STARTED SHAKING UNCONTROLLABLY. THE ONLY WAY I COULD GET IT TO STOP WAS TO RAPIDLY DECELERATE TO APPROXIMATELY 30 MPH. THERE WAS NO BREAKDOWN LANE IN THE FAST LANE, SO I HAD TO SKIRT ACROSS 3 LANES OF TRAFFIC. A TRUCK SLAMMED ON ITS BREAKS BEHIND ME. I AM VERY LUCKY TO HAVE AVOIDED A MAJOR ACCIDENT. IT IS IRRESPONSIBLE TO CALL THIS A SAFE CAR TOR DRIVE. I CALLED JEEP AND THEY OPTED ME INTO A "RECALL" CAMPAIGN THAT I KNEW NOTHING ABOUT. THIS RECALL SHOULD BE IMMEDIATE AND URGENT. THIS IS NOT A CUSTOMER SATISFACTION ISSUE. THIS PROBLEM HAS GOTTEN WORSE, THIS IS NOW MY 3RD STEERING DAMPENER. I HAVE DRIVEN JEEPS FOR MANY YEARS AND NEVER EXPERIENCED ANYTHING LIKE THIS IN MY LIFE. PLEASE DO SOMETHING BEFORE PEOPLE GET KILLED. I CALLED JEEP AND FILED A COMPLAINT, BUT NOBODY SEEMS TO BE TAKING THIS SERIOUSLY. THE ANSWER WAS THAT I WOULD BE "OPT-ED" IN TO THE RECALL. IF THERE ARE ANY JEEPS OUT THERE WITH THE OLD DAMPENER THEY NEED TO BE REPLACED NOW. MY CAR IS COMPLETELY STOCK HAS NOT BEEN MODIFIED IN ANY WAY.

Mileage: 14,000

VEHICLE WILL NOT STAY IN LANE. CONSTANT DRIFTING TO LEFT OR RIGHT REQUIRING STEERING CORRECTIONS TO BE MADE IN ORDER TO STAY IN LANE. CONSTANT PROBLEM REGARDLESS OF SPEED, ROAD CONDITIONS OR WEATHER HAVE HAD DEALER REVIEW 5 TIMES AND HAVE NUMEROUS VIDEOS DEPICTING THIS ISSUE

Mileage: 1,041

WHEN DRIVING AT A HIGHWAY SPEEDS OF 70-80 MPH AND HITTING A BUMP THE JEEP GOES INTO CONVULSIONS "DEATH WOBBLE" TO THE POINT WE HAVE TO PULL OFF THE SIDE OF THE ROAD BECAUSE WE ARE SO SCARED, THIS HAS HAPPENED TO US SEVERAL TIMES SINCE OWNING IT. WE DON'T FEEL SAFE DRIVING THIS 2018 JEEP WRANGLER JL. JEEP DOES HAVE A RECALL FOR THE STEERING DAMPER BUT I DON'T FEEL THIS WILL FIX THE ISSUE AS WE ALREADY HAD THIS REPLACED ONCE. THE OTHER ISSUE IS THAT THE STEERING WANDERS AT ANY SPEED, ALWAYS HAVING TO RE-CORRECT THE STEERING, MAKING IT VERY DIFFICULT TO DRIVE AND SEEMINGLY UNSAFE.

Mileage: 16,000

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2018 JEEP WRANGLER. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THERE WAS A LOT OF PLAY IN THE STEERING WHEEL. THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. CROSS CHRYSLER JEEP FIAT (1501 GARDINER LN, LOUISVILLE, KY 40218) REPAIRED THE VEHICLE PER NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 18V343000 (STEERING); HOWEVER, THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED AND INFORMED ABOUT THE RECALL. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 11,000.

Mileage: 11,000

OVER 50 MPH VERY DIFFICULT TO KEEP IN LANE -- WANDERING ISSUE + DEAD ZONE IN STEERING. HAD TO INSTALL AFTERMARKET PARTS TO HELP CORRECT WANDERING TO BE ABLE TO DRIVE IT ON THE HIGHWAY. BETTER NOW BUT STILL HAD DEAD ZONE "SLOP" IN STEERING WHEEL. THE BUILD QUALITY IS SO POOR THAT THE TORQUE SPECS HAD TO BE CHECKED AND THE ALIGNMENT WAS WAY OFF FROM FACTORY. I HAVE HAD MANY NEW VEHICLES OVER THE YEARS AND THIS IS THE CHEAPEST MADE AND HAS THE WORST QUALITY OF ALL! THESE NEW JL JEEPS HAVE A REAL PROBLEM WITH BEING ABLE TO KEEP THEM DRIVING STRAIGHT OVER 50 MPH. I HAVE HAD OTHER JEEPS TJ, XJ, JK AND NONE ARE THIS BAD. CHECK THE WRANGLER JL FORUMS AND SEE THE THOUSANDS OF COMPLAINTS ON THE STEERING. ADDITIONALLY JEEP HAD A RECALL ON THE STEERING STABILIZER AND THE DEALER INSTALLED IT UPSIDE DOWN. TOLD THEM IT WAS WRONG AND THEY WERE UNHAPPY WITH ME BECAUSE I POINTED IT OUT. THIS WAS AFTER I TOLD THE SERVICE ADVISOR THAT IT NEEDED TO BE INSTALLED IN THE PROPER DIRECTION AND ALL HE SAID WAS WE KNOW WHAT WE ARE DOING , WE DO THAIS ALL THE TIME. TOTAL INCOMPETENCE FROM THE FACTORY TO THE DEALERS. PICKED THIS 2018 UP EARLY JULY 2019 AND NOTICED THE PROBLEM ON THE WAY HOME.

Mileage: 80

AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS IF A BUMP OR HOLE IS HIT THE FRONT END WILL DEVELOP A WOBBLE. THIS INCLUDES THE STEERING WHEEL JIGGLING FROM SIDE TO SIDE. THE WOBBLE GOES AWAY WHEN THE BRAKES ARE HEAVILY APPLIED. DEALER SERVICE RESPONSE WAS "NO PROBLEM FOUND". PROBLEM CONTINUES. THE VEHICLE IS COMPLETELY STOCK INCLUDING ORIGINAL TIRES AND WHEELS.

EXTREME STEERING WOBBLE AT FREEWAY SPEEDS WHEN FRONT WHEELS EXPERIENCE A BUMP OR UNEVEN PAVEMENT/POTHOLE.

Mileage: 25,035

I NEVER LIKED HOW THIS JEEP DROVE FROM DAY 1, AS ALWAYS FELT SOMETHING IN THE FRONT END WAS LOOSE AND THE RIDE WAS WOBBLY AT VIRTUALLY ALL SPEEDS. AFTER THE FIRST OIL CHANGE AND TIRE ROTATION THE PROBLEM SEEMED WORSE. BROUGHT IT BACK AND 1 FRONT TIRE WAS SLIGHTLY OFF BALANCE, SO WAS REBALANCED AND OFF WE WENT. PROBLEM NATURALLY HASN'T GONE AWAY. ANNOYING AND OF CONCERN THAT I FINALLY BROUGHT IT BACK TO MAKE AN APPOINTMENT TO HAVE IT LOOKED AT WHEN THE SERVICE ADVISOR SAID "OH THERE IS A RECALL ON YOUR JEEP FOR THE STEERING STABILIZER... I HAVE NOT EVER RECEIVED ANY MAIL FROM JEEP TO THIS REGARD.. HOWEVER THEY WILL BE REPLACING IT THIS WEEKEND. WITH THIS NEW INFORMATION, I NOW SEARCH THIS SITE AND SEE HUNDREDS OF OTHER COMPLAINTS ABOUT STEERING ISSUES I HAVE BEEN EXPERIENCING, AND NEED TO REGISTER A COMPLAINT....AS I TOO HAVE FELT THE VEHICLE FEELS UNSAFE TO DRIVE AND COULD POTENTIALLY BE A PROBLEM. SEEMS TO ME THAT THERE SMOKE UNDER THESE JEEPS AND THE BUILD OF THEM, AND JUST A MATTER OF TIME BEFORE PEOPLE WILL SUFFER SIGNIFICANT INJURY TO THEMSELVES OR OTHERS IF THIS ISSUE ISN'T FIXED AND BAD VEHICLES ARE BOUGHT BACK BY FCA. I BEGIN MY JOURNEY WITH JEEP SATURDAY, AND AFTER READING ALL THE ISSUES HERE HAVE LITTLE FAITH THAT THIS FIX IS REALLY THE SOURCE OF MY PROBLEM BUT A BANDAID ON A MUCH LARGER ISSUE FOR OWNERS LIKE MYSELF. 50K FOR A VEHICLE ONE WOULD THINK SHOULD BUY ONE A SENSE OF CONFIDENCE. IN MY CASE, THERE IS ZERO AT THIS POINT, BUT UNLESS IM PARKING THE VEHICLE AND EATING MY $500 MO PAYMENT WHAT CHOICE DO I HAVE BUT TO DRIVE IT AND JUST PRAY NOTHING HAPPENS? I WILL UPDATE THIS POST AS NEED BE AS WE MOVE FORWARD WITH JEEPS "FIX" I WILL MAKE SURE TO HAVE THEM INSPECT THE WELDS ON MY FRAME AS WELL, WITH A BUILD DATE OF JULY 2018 AND FRAME #186, MINE IS JUST A FEW OUTSIDE OF THE RANGE OF ONES WITH KNOW PROBLEMS.

Mileage: 12,500

REPORTED FRIGHTENING VIBRATION WITH LOSS OF VEHICLE STEERING CONTROL WHILE TRAVELING H AT HIGH SPEEDS ON THE HIGHWAY IF THE CAR DRIVES OVER UNEVEN GROUND OR POT HOLES. REPORTED THE ISSUE TO THE DEALERSHIP THEY REFERRED TO IT AS A KNOWN ISSUE CALLED 'DEATH WOBBLE'. THEY REPAIRED THE DAMPER PER RECALL HOWEVER I AM NOW EXPERIENCING THE ISSUE AGAIN AND SEEMS TO BE GETTING WORSE. CERTAINLY A SEVERE SAFETY ISSUE.

Mileage: 1,538

EXCESSIVE PLAY IN THE STEERING ALSO WANDERS ALL OVER THE ROAD. THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING SINCE I TOOK DELIVERY OF VEHICLE AND THE DEALER SAYS THERE IS NOTHING WRONG.

Mileage: 5

STEERING HAS 2+ INCHES OF PLAY AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. DEALER SAYS IT IS A JEEP THING BUT OTHERS WITH THE EXACT SAME VEHICLE HAVE NO PLAY IN THEIR STEERING. I HAVE HAD IT IN 4 TIMES AND IT IS NOW WORSE THAN WHEN I BOUGHT IT. MY WIFE IS AFRAID TO DRIVE IT BECAUSE SHE FEELS IT IS UNSAFE.

Mileage: 6,321

THE VEHICLE CONSTANTLY WANDERS THE ROAD AT INTERSTATE SPEEDS. THERE IS NO CENTER. WHEN TURNING AT INTERSTATE SPEEDS IT TURNS AND THEN GOES LEFT OR RIGHT WITHOUT TURNING THE STEERING WHEEL.

Mileage: 5

MY BRAND NEW, 2018 JEEP HAS 768 MILES ON IT AND THE STEERING IS LOOSE TO SAY THE LEAST. IF THE FRONT TRACK BAR BRACKET (SOLID FRONT AXLE IN LINE WITH THE BODY OF THE VEHICLE) STILL HAS WELDS THAT ARE OFF SEAM, CAN CAUSE THE BRACKET TO DETACH FROM THE FRAME AND CAN CAUSE LOOSE, VAGUE STEERING TO A COMPLETE SYSTEM FAILURE. RECALL STATEMENT: "THE SEPARATION OF THE FRONT TRACK BAR BRACKET FROM THE FRAME MAY CAUSE A REDUCTION IN THE STEERING RESPONSE, WHICH CAN CAUSE A VEHICLE CRASH WITHOUT PRIOR WARNING," THIS IS MY THIRD JEEP AND 2ND JEEP WRANGLER. THE DEALERSHIP STATES THEY REPAIRED THE RECALL, 2 MONTHS PRIOR TO THE PURCHASE DATE, BUT I DO NOT BELIEVE THEY DID. IF THE DEALERSHIP CLAIMED THE REPAIR TO JEEP I AM SURE THEY POCKETED THE MONEY. THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY RISK AS THE STEERING IS RECALLED AS A SAFETY RECALL - THE DEALERSHIP SHOULD BE LIABLE AND JEEP NEEDS TO INSPECT THAT THE RECALLS AT THE VERY LEAST ONE AND THOSE THAT CLAIM TO DO THE REPAIRS AND DO NOT - SHOULD HAVE THEIR ABILITY TO OFFER JEEP PRODUCTS REVOKED.

Mileage: 743

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2018 JEEP WRANGLER. WHILE THE CONTACT'S DAUGHTER WAS DRIVING AT HIGH SPEEDS OVER A BUMP IN THE ROAD, THE VEHICLE SHOOK VIOLENTLY AND EXPERIENCED THE DEATH WOBBLE. THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO SCAP CHRYSLER DODGE JEEP RAM (430 TUNXIS HILL RD, FAIRFIELD, CT 06825, (203) 384-0005) AND EXECUTIVE JEEP (900 UNIVERSAL DR N, NORTH HAVEN, CT 06473, (203) 239-5213) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE STEERING DAMPER NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED, BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 20,000.

Mileage: 20,000

STEERING FEELS EXTREMELY LOOSE. ESPECIALLY, WHILE DRIVING ON HIGHWAY IT DOES NOT FEEL SAFE AT ALL DUE TO CONSTANT CORRECTION I AM FORCE TO DO. I AM SCARED EVEN A SMALL POTHOLE WOULD MAKE THE VEHICLE LOSE STEERING AND END UP IN A DITCH. EVEN AFTER GETTING THE LATEST "RECALLS", CHECKED WELDING ISSUE AND REPLACE THE STEERING DAMPER NEITHER OF THOSE SOLUTION FIXED THE LOOSE FEEL OF THE STEERING WHEEL. *DT *AS

BOUGHT WRANGLER IN MAY OF 2018. HAVE ALWAYS NOTICED THAT THE STEERING ALIGNMENT HAS BEEN OFF, OR THAT IT HAS AT LEAST 1 INCH TO 2 INCHES IN PLAY. MEANING THAT I CAN MOVE THE STEERING WHEEL TO THE LEFT OR RIGHT AND IT DOES NOT IMPACT STEERING DIRECTION. VEHICLE ALSO DOES NOT TRACK STRAIGHT, IT PULLS TO THE LEFT. NO LONGER COVERED UNDER WARRANTY AS I AM AT 20K MILES NOW. STEERING DAMPER HAS BEEN REPLACED TWICE NOW FIRST TIME WAS AT 14,000 MILES. SECOND TIME AT 19,000. . HITTING AN EXPANSION JOINT OR POTHOLE AT SPEEDS NORTH OF 70MPH WILL CAUSE SEVERE SHAKING TO THE POINT I HAVE TO SLOW DOWN TO SPEEDS OF AROUND 50MPH FOR IT TO GO AWAY. NOT SAFE AT ALL ON THE FREEWAY. THIS IS A SAFETY DEFECT. FCA SHOULD BUYBACK THE WRANGLERS AND WORK ON FIXING THE OBVIOUS FLAW IN FRAME ENGINEERING, THE STEERING DAMPER IS JUST A BANDAID. THE STEERING DAMPER IS GOING TO CONTINUE GOING OUT AND CAUSING THE DEATH WOBBLE.

Mileage: 14,000

DEATH WOBBLE, HAS BEEN AT THE DEALERSHIP 4 TIMES AND WAS JUST PICKED UP FOR THE 5TH TIME. TODAY THEY ARE REPLACING RECALLED PARTS THIS HAPPENS AT ANT SPEED AT THIS POINT IN TIME. AND BEGAN IN JANUARY 2019. I HAVE ONLY HAD THE VEHICLE SINCE JULY 2018. IN FEBRUARY THE STEERING DAMPER WAS REPLACE, AT THIS TIME WE ALSO HAD AN ISSUE WITH THE STEERING COLUMN LOCKING UP WHILE DRIVING NOTHING WAS FIXED ON THAT ISSUE ONLY THE STEERING DAMPER, ABOUT 3000 MILES LATER, THE WOBBLE BEGAN AGAIN, IN JULY 2019 THE VEHICLE WENT BACK IN FOR THE REPLACEMENT OF THE STEERING DAMPER, IN AUGUST IT WENT BACK IN FOR WHAT THEY STATED WAS THE RECALLED PART A NEW STEERING DAMPER WAS REPLACED, THAT NIGHT I DROVE THE JEEP HOME AND STILL HAD THE WOBBLE, THEY PICKED IT UP LAST WEEK TO REPLACE THE STEERING DAMPER AND NOTHING WAS DONE, THE PICKED IT UP TODAY TO DO A NEW TASK BAR AND AN ALIGNMENT. THIS VEHICLE IS UNSAFE. I HAVE ALREADY LOST ONE CHILD DUE TO AN AUTOMOBILE ACCIDENT. THIS DOES NOT MAKE ME FEEL SAFE DRIVING THIS VEHICLE

TOO MUCH PLAY IN THE STEERING WHEEL. REQUIRES A LOT OF WORK TO KEEP THE VEHICLE STRAIGHT. ITS DANGEROUS IN CONGESTED AREAS OR NARROW ROADS. I WOULD DESCRIBE AS A DEAD SPOT IN THE CENTER. THIS HAPPENS 100% OF TIME BUT IS REALLY BAD OVER ABOUT 35 MPH. JEEP TRIED A NEW DAMPER AND NEW STEERING BOX. NEITHER HELPED AT ALL.

Mileage: 12

THE STEERING ON THE JEEP JL WONDERS ALL OVER THE ROAD FORCING CONSTANT COUNTER MOVEMENTS WHILE YOU DRIVE. AT THE SAME TIME, THERE IS ALSO EXCESSIVE PLAY IN THE STEERING WHEEL AND THAT COMPOUNDS THE STEERING CHALLENGES.

THIS 2018 WRANGLER JL WANDERS ALL OVER THE ROAD. ALIGNMENT IS GOOD AND ALL PARTS SEEM TIGHT. JUST WON'T TRAVEL IN A STRAIGHT LINE ALL STOCK. I HAD A 2012 OF THE SAME MODEL AND IT DID NOT DO THIS. MOSTLY ABOVE 30 MPH THE TROUBLE BEGINS.

EXCESSIVELY LOOSE STEERING/EXCESSIVE PLAY IN STEERING/DEAD SPOT IN STEERING. 1.5 TO 2 INCHES FROM CENTER IN EITHER DIRECTION IN WHICH STEERING WHEEL DOES NOT ENGAGE TIRES. STEERING JERKS AND HYPER CORRECTS WHEN IT DOES ENGAGE. BECOMES WORSE AT HIGHWAY SPEED. DANGEROUS AT HIGHWAY SPEED. EXCESSIVE WANDERING, DOES NOT TRACK STRAIGHT, AT SLOW SPEED STEERING PULLS IN EITHER DIRECTION AS THOUGH IT NEEDS ALIGNMENT. BAD WELDS, VARIOUS LOCATIONS. PURCHASED VEHICLE IN APRIL 2019. ISSUE HAS BEEN PRESENT SINCE PURCHASE. HAVE HAD IT AT DEALERSHIP 5 TIMES. WE HAVE A 2019 JL RUBICON THAT DOES NOT DO IT. I HAVE ALSO DRIVEN OTHER 2 DOOR 2018'S THAT DO NOT HAVE THE ISSUE AND OTHER 2018'S THAT DO HAVE THE ISSUE. CHRYSLER CURRENTLY INVOLVED. I HAVE VIDEO AND DEALERSHIP/CHRYSLER RECORDS.

Mileage: 60

I HAVE HAD NOTHING BUT ISSUES WITH THIS VEHICLE. FROM INCORRECT WELDS (WHICH THE DEALERSHIP DEEMED AS OKAY UNTIL I HAD A THIRD-PARTY LOOK AT THEM) TO STEERING ISSUES (WOBBLE, DRIFT, ETC.), IT'S BEEN A COMPLETE NIGHTMARE. I'M STUCK PAYING FOR A VEHICLE THAT WILL NOT HOLD ITS VALUE OVER TIME AND AM SO AFRAID TO DRIVE IT THAT I'VE ONLY PUT 1,600 MILES ON THE VEHICLE SINCE I PURCHASED IT IN AUGUST OF 2018. IF I COULD HAVE ONE WISH, IT WOULD BE TO PULL THIS VEHICLE FROM THE MARKET AND REQUEST THAT FCA DOES A FULL BUYBACK FOR VEHICLES WITH RECALLED ISSUES. THEY ARE LYING TO THE NHTSA, THEIR CUSTOMERS, AND SHAREHOLDERS. I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO.

Mileage: 800

THERE HAS BEEN AN ONGOING PROBLEM WITH LOOSE AND WANDERING STEERING MOSTLY NOTICED AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS OVER 45 MPH. THE VEHICLE FEELS LIKE THERE IS TOO MUCH PLAY IN THE STEERING WHEEL WHEN TRYING TO KEEP A STRAIGHT LINE OR IN THE CENTER OF THE LANE. I HAVE HAD THE VEHICLE IN THE DEALERSHIP SERVICE CENTER THREE TIMES TO RESOLVE THE PROBLEM. ON THE LAST VISIT, THE DEALERSHIP REPLACED THE TRACK BAR WHICH ONLY SLIGHTLY IMPROVED THE PROBLEM. WHEN I RECENTLY DROVE THE VEHICLE ON THE FREEWAY AT 65MPH IN WINDY CONDITIONS, IT WAS EXTREMELY EXHAUSTING TO KEEP IN THE SAME LANE AND FELT VERY DANGEROUS. I SHOULD NOTE THAT AT LOWER SPEEDS BELOW 45MPH THE LOOSE STEERING IS NOT AS NOTICEABLE. WHEN I HAVE MADE FOLLOW UP CALLS TO THE DEALERSHIP SERVICE CENTER (MOST RECENT 9/23/19), I WAS TOLD BY THE SERVICE ADVISOR THAT THIS STEERING FEEL WAS NORMAL FOR THE JEEP.

Mileage: 2,500

STEERING HAS PLAY IN STEERING WHEEL - YOU CAN MOVE THE STEERING WHEEL FROM LEFT TO RIGHT ABOUT 1 INCH AND IT DOES NOT TURN THE WHEELS. THIS PROBLEM WAS ABOUT 2 INCHES WHEN I BOUGHT THE VEHICLE BUT A REPLACEMENT TRACKBAR INSTALLED UNDER WARRANTY HAS REDUCED THE PLAY BUT IT STILL HAS ABOUT 1" WHERE IS IS NOT AFFECTING STEERING. THIS LEADS TO DRIVER FATIGUE IN AN ATTEMPT TO KEEP THE VEHICLE IN THE LANE AS IT REQUIRES A CONSTANT BACK/AND FORTH TURN ON THE STEERING WHEEL TO STAY IN LANE. I'VE HAD IT INTO THE DEALER 6 TIMES FOR THEM TO FIX THE PROBLEM AND WHILE IT IS BETTER THAN IT WAS ORIGINALLY IT IS STILL NOT FIXED AND DANGEROUS. I'M TOLD BY MY DEALER THAT IT IS "NORMAL" THAT WOULD INDICATE THAT "NORMAL" IS THE FOR THE VEHICLE TO HAVE DANGEROUS STEERING AND LIKELY THE WORST STEERING OUT OF ANY VEHICLE BUILT IN THE PAST 20 YEARS. -- VERY HARD TO KEEP IN THE LANE AT 55 MPH.

Mileage: 4,000

JEEP WRANGLER JLU RUBICON WITH ONGOING STEERING ISSUES. AT FREEWAY SPEEDS, AT OR ABOVE 60 MPH, THE JEEP WANDERS AND THERE IS 1.5 TO 2 INCHES OF PLAY IN THE STEERING. CONSTANT CORRECTION AND STEERING INPUT IS WARRANTED TO MAINTAIN LANE LIMITS. THE JEEP HAS BEEN TO THE DEALER 3-4 TIMES WITHOUT RESOLUTION. DEALER STATED THE PLAY WAS NORMAL. THE STEERING DAMPER WAS REPLACED UNDER RECALL WITHOUT RESOLUTION. I PAID OUT OF POCKET FOR A NEW FRONT TACK BAR AND STEERING GEAR WITHOUT RESOLUTION. ON EVALUATION FROM A JEEP INDEPENDENT ALIGNMENT FACILITY, IT WAS IDENTIFIED THE TIE ROD CONNECTED TO THE PITMAN ARM HAD EXCESSIVE PLAY. AT 13500 MILES, THE STEERING HAS COSTED ME $1500 AND IT IS STILL NOT FIXED. DEALER RECOGNIZES THE ISSUE. SERIAL CALLS TO THE FCA CUSTOMER SERVICE LINE HAS LED TO 'COMPLAINT NUMBERS' BUT NO RESOLUTION. MY STEERING ISSUES ARE REPORTED BY OTHERS ON JEEP JL FORUMS AND YOUTUBE.

Mileage: 12,000

2018 JEEP WRANGLER SAHARA UNLIMITED. 15,000 MILES. NO MODIFICATIONS. DREADED 'DEATH WOBBLE' OCCURRED 3 TIMES IN THREE DAYS AFTER PURCHASING CAR USED. SCARED THE HELL OUT OF ME AND THE PASSENGERS, JEEP NEEDS TO FIX THIS NOW!,

JEEP HAS A EXTREMELY BAD WOBBLE/SHAKE WHEN YOU HIT BRIDGE JOYCE'S AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. REPLACED STEERING DAMPER A WEEK AGO THE SHAKE/WOBBLE IS WORSE NOW THAT IT PULLED ME IN THE OTHER LANE. DEALER CANT GET IT TO DUPLICATE PROBLEM FOR THEM. 100% STOCK JEEP

Mileage: 15,391

WOBBLY STEERING AND REQUIRES LOTS OF CORRECTION ON HIGHWAY. DEALER DENIES THERE IS AN ISSUE

HAVE CONTINUED TO EXPERIENCE OCCASIONAL "DEATH WOBBLE" ALONG WITH CONSISTENT SHIMMYING OF THE VEHICLE WHEN SPEEDS REACH 65MPH+. THIS ECHOES WHAT MANY OTHERS HAVE POSTED AS WELL. I HAVE OWNED 7 JK WRANGLERS PREVIOUSLY AND KNOW THIS IS NOT HOW STEERING SHOULD FEEL. MARCH 16, 2019 I WAS PROACTIVE IN ASKING THE DEALERSHIP TO REPLACE THE STEERING DAMPER, WHICH THEY DID (PARTS 68251580AD, 6104242AA, 6510774AA, 6512425AA, 6104718AA). THIS HELPED A LITTLE, BUT THE PROBLEM CONTINUED. ON SEPTEMBER 7, 2019, AFTER THE OFFICIAL RECALL #V41, I WENT IN AND THE DEALERSHIP AGAIN REPLACED THE STEERING DAMPER (PARTS CCUKV411AA & CCUKV413AA). THE PAST 2 WEEKS THE PROBLEM STILL EXISTS. YES, AT THE MOMENT IT'S SIMPLY AN ANNOYANCE AND NO DEATHS OR ACCIDENTS HAVE BEEN REPORTED, BUT I FEAR SOMETHING COULD HAPPEN. AND ON TOP OF THAT, A $40K+ VEHICLE SHOULD NOT HAVE STEERING RELATED ISSUES SUCH AS THIS.

Mileage: 10,960

AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS, SUSPENSION AND/OR STEERING MECHANISM WOBBLES AND VIBRATES VIOLENTLY (THIS IS FELT IN THE STEERING WHEEL) WHEN ENCOUNTERING BUMPS AND HOLES IN HIGHWAY SURFACE. THE VIOLENT STEERING VIBRATION CONTINUES UNTIL REDUCING SPEED BY APPROXIMATELY 20 MPH BY BRAKING. THIS CONDITION WAS UNMANAGEABLE AT 6000 MILES AND FCA REPLACED THE STEERING STABILIZER. CONDITION BECAME UNMANAGEABLE AGAIN AT 15000 MILES AND FCA REPLACED STEERING STABILIZER AGAIN (V41RECALL).

Mileage: 6,000

OCCASIONALLY WHEN I TURN, THE CAR WILL SWERVE. THERE WAS A STEERING RECALL IN JUNE. WHEN I WENT TO THE DEALERSHIP, THEY DISAGREED MY ISSUE. I DO NOT FEEL SAFE IN THE CAR.

Mileage: 9,400

MY 2018 JL WRANGLER HAS A SIGNIFICANT "DEAD BAND" IN THE CENTER OF THE STEERING. THE STEERING WHEEL CAN BE TURNED SIDE TO SIDE WITH NO CHANGE IN WHEEL DIRECTION BOTH WHILE STATIONARY AND MOVING. THIS NECESSITATES EXAGURATED INPUTS TO KEEP THE VEHICLE IN THE MIDDLE OF THE LANE AND MAKES MAINTAINING A STRAIGHT LINE DIFFICULT. IT REQUIRES WHITE KNUCKLED DRIVING WHILE DRIVING NEXT TO A SEMI ON THE FREEWAY. IT ALREADY HAS THE UPDATED DAMPER AND TRACKBAR INSTALLED BY THE DEALER. THE DEALER CURRENTLY CLAIMS "IT'S A JEEP THING" AND THERE IS NO ISSUE. THERE IS A 4000 POST THREAD ON THE JL FORUM THAT DISAGREES.

Mileage: 100

I HAVE HAD THE VEHICLE IN 5 TIMES FOR THE LOOSE STEERING AND WOBBLE ALONG WITH BUMP STEER, EVEN WENT SO FAR AS TO FILE A LEMON LAW WITH THEM AND THEY REFUSED TO PURCHASE THE VEHICLE BACK. THEIR NEWEST FIX IS A DIFFERENT STEERING STABILIZER THAT DID NOTHING TO FIX THE PROBLEM. VEHICLE IS IMPOSSIBLE TO KEEP GOING A STRAIGHT LINE WITHOUT CONSTANT INPUT AND WILL JERK THE STEERING WHEEL RIGHT OUT OF YOUR HANDS WHEN HITTING TINY BUMPS AT FREEWAY SPEEDS, NOT SAFE AT ALL BUT I HAVE NO CHOICE BUT TO DRIVE IT.

Mileage: 1,000

LOT OF PLAY IN THE STEERING, THE STEERING NEEDS TO PAST CENTER THEN BACK TO GET IT STRAIGHT THEN REPEATED TO MAINTAIN IN THE LANE REQUIRING CONSTANT CORRECTIONS. A GUST OF WIND HAS CAUSED THE CAR TO CHANGE DIRECTION WITH NO FEEDBACK IN THE STEERING WHEEL. THE PROBLEM IS LESS NOTICEABLE AT LOW SPEED, BUT CHANGES THE LONGER IT IS DRIVEN.

Mileage: 6,000

I HAVE HAD MY JEEP SINCE LAST ONE YEAR. I HAVE HAD STEERING ISSUE FORM THE BEGINING EVERY TIME I WENT TO THE DEALER THEY TOLD ME THAT IS HOW A JEEP DROVE. WHILE ON HIGH WAY IT IS HARD TO KEEP MY JEEP IN LANE IT WOBBLES AND CONSTANTLY LOSES ITS PATH. ITS HARD TO DRIVE BUT DEALER SERVICE WILL ALWAYS SAY THAT IS HOW IT DRIVES. IT IS VERY RISKY DRIVING THE JEEP.

Mileage: 250

ON SEPTEMBER 10, 2019 I TOOK MY JEEP WRANGLER IN FOR A STEERING DAMPER CUSTOMER SATISFACTION NOTIFICATION (RECALL). ON SEPTEMBER 20TH, 2019 I WAS DRIVING 65MPH DOWN THE HIGHWAY WHEN THE JEEP BEGAN TO VIOLENTLY SHAKE, NOT STOPPING UNTIL I ACTIVATED MY BRAKES AND BEGAN TO PULL OFF TO THE SHOULDER. I EXITED THE HIGHWAY TO MAKE SURE MY TIRES WERE FINE AND I COULD NOT SEE ANYTHING OUT OF THE ORDINARY. THE JEEP RAN NORMAL AFTER THIS OCCURRENCE, BUT THE SHAKE WAS INTENSE, AND SCARY WHILE GOING 65MPH ON THE HIGHWAY. THE STEERING DAMPER BEING REPLACED DOES NOT SEEM TO HAVE RECTIFIED THE SITUATION.

Mileage: 16,012

WHILE EXITING A DRIVE THRU, I NEEDED TO MAKE A LEFT HAND TURN. AS I WAS IN MOTION TO MAKE THAT LEFT HAND TURN, THE STEERING LOCKED UP & IT SENT ME CRASHING STRAIGHT INTO A METAL POLE, WHICH JUST HAPPENED TO BE FOR THE PEDESTRIAN CROSSING. THANKFULLY THERE WERE NO PEDESTRIANS AROUND THAT WERE PUT IN HARMS WAY. HOWEVER, MY 2018 JEEP WRANGLER JL WAS NOT SO LUCKY. CURRENTLY WE ARE BEING ESTIMATED AROUND $8,000 - $15,000 IN DAMAGE BUT THAT IS NOT FINAL YET.

Mileage: 18,000

WHEN DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY ON AN OVERPASS OR ANY BUMP MY JEEP SHAKES UNCONTROLLABLY AND FEELS AS THOUGH ALL FOUR WHEELS ARE GOING TO FALL OFF, HAVE TO PUT HAZARDS ON AND REDUCE SPEED QUICKLY, HAS BEEN AT DEALERSHIP MULTIPLE TIMES FOR STEERING DAMPER WHICH HAS NOT FIXED THE PROBLEM, VERY UNSAFE TO DRIVE

I AM EXPERIENCING THE WRANGLER DEATH WOBBLE. GOING OVER 60 HITTING UNEVEN PAVEMENT AND FRONT END SHAKES. I FIRST REPORTED ISSUE TO DEALER AS LOOSE STEERING AROUND 5000 MILES. NOW AT 18000 FULL BLOWN WOBBLE. THEY PERFORMED THE STEERING DAMPNER RECALL WHICH ONLY MADE IT WORSE. WENT BACK TO DEALER SAID THEY RE ADJUSTED DAMPNER. DRIVING HOME SAME ISSUE AGAIN BACK TO DEALER. SAID THEY ARE HAVING ONE OF THE JEEP REPRESENTATIVES COMING TO LOOK AT IT. I HAVE BEEN THROUGH THIS BEFORE WITH MY 2010 WRANGLE BUT THAT HAD OVER 85K MILES. HAVING TO ABRUPTLY SLOW DOWN WHEN YOU ARE IN HIGHWAY TRAFFIC TO 40 OR LESS FROM 70 -75 IS A SAFETY HAZARD.

Mileage: 17,500

THE CAR SHAKES UNCONTROLLABLY WHEN DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AND AFTER HITTING A BUMP OR IMPERFECTION IN THE ROAD. I HAVE HAD THE PROBLEM FIXED ONCE BEFORE A FEW MONTHS AGO. LAST WEE WHEN DRIVING BACK FROM DROPPING MY SON OFF AT COLLEGE THE CAR SHOOK UNCONTROLLABLY AT LEAST A DOZEN TIMES. THE CAR SEEMED TO SHAKE AT HIGHER SPEEDS AND I WOULD HAVE TO PULL THE CAR OFF THE ROAD TO ALMOST A COMPLETE STOP TO MAKE THE SHAKING STOP.I ALSO HAD THE CAR REPAIRED FOR THE SAME ISSUES AT SCAP JEEP IN FAIRFIELD CT A FEW MONTHS AGO. THEY SAID IT WAS THE STEERING DAMPER. THE CAR WAS FINE FOR A FEW MONTHS BUT THE PROBLEM CAME BACK AGAIN. THE INCIDENT HAPPENED ON 8/25. WE FEAR TAKING THE CAR ON THE HIGHWAY.

Mileage: 20,000

NEW JEEP WRANGLER 4 DOOR SAHARA WANDERS WHEN DRIVING ALL SPEEDS. SEEMS TO HAVE 1" PLAY IN STEERING WHEEL. HARD TO KEEP STRAIGHT WHEN DRIVING. TOOK BACK TO DEALER AND THEY INSTALLED NEW STEERING STABILIZER AS PER SERVICE BULLETIN. STILL HARD TO DRIVE IN STRAIGHT LINE.

Mileage: 400

THE VEHICLE IS DIFFICULT TO STEER, ESPECIALLY AT SPEEDS 45 MILES PER HOUR AND UP. THE VEHICLE HAS PLAY IN THE STEERING WHEEL AND TENDS TO WANDER ON THE ROAD AND IS VERY DIFFICULT TO CONTROL WHEN DRIVING ON A STRAIGHTAWAY. PROBLEM IS WORSE AT FREEWAY SPEEDS. IT HAS ALWAYS BEEN LIKE THIS. FCA HAS BEEN NO HELP.

Mileage: 15,000

I DO NOT KNOW THE EXACT CAUSE, BUT THE VEHICLE HAS EXTREMELY LOOSE STEERING AND WANDERS ALL OVER THE LANE WHILE DRIVING AT ALL SPEEDS. VERY DIFFICULT TO CONTROL VEHICLE WHICH MAKES IT EXTREMELY UNSAFE TO DRIVE AT HIGHER SPEEDS. COMBINE THE TWO WITH A BUMP IN THE ROAD, AND THE VEHICLE JUMPS TO THE SIDE. LOOSE STEERING IS EASILY NOTICED WHILE THE VEHICLE IS TURNED OFF AND PARKED.

Mileage: 600

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2018 JEEP WRANGLER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT AFTER THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED PER NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 18V343000 (STEERING), THE STEERING BECAME OUT OF CONTROL WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 40 MPH. THERE WAS NO WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN BACK TO SNETHKAMP CHRYSLER DODGE JEEP RAM (313-429-0013, LOCATED AT 11600 TELEGRAPH RD, REDFORD, MI 48239) WHERE THE RECALL REPAIR WAS PERFORMED BY REPLACING THE STEERING DAMPER. THE CONTACT REQUESTED THAT THE NEW PART BE REPLACED WITH THE ORIGINAL STEERING DAMPER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE DROVE BETTER AFTER THE NEW PART WAS REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND REFERRED THE CONTACT TO NHTSA. THE FAILURE WAS NOT REMEDIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 8,500.

Mileage: 8,500

DEATH WOBBLE AT 70MPH. EXPERIENCED IT 4 TIMES IN 30 MILE STRETCH OF INTERSTATE 40. VEHICLE IS STOCK. HAS BEEN TAKEN TO THE SHOP ONCE FOR ISSUE. APPEARED TO BE BETTER UNTIL TODAY. IT WAS SCARY. WITH EXTREME VIBRATION/SHAKING. DID NOT FEEL SAFE TO DRIVE. ESPECIALLY WITH MY FAMILY IN VEHICLE.

Mileage: 12,500

I HAVE OWNED SEVERAL JEEPS OVER THE LAST 15 YEARS AND THIS PARTICULAR EVENT WAS THE WORST THAT I HAVE EVER ENCOUNTERED AND WAS ONGOING. WE WE TRAVELING ON DRY SMOOTH ASPHALT PAVEMENT ON HIGHWAY 82 10 MILES EAST OF BASALT CO AT APX. 750 PM WITH OUTDOOR TEMPERATURE OF 67* HEADING TO ASPEN AT APX 55 MPH. ALL STOCK NO ADD ON'S ON THIS VEHICLE. ALL OF THE SUDDEN THE ENTIRE STEERING WHEEL STARTED TO SHAKE AND RATTLE SO HARD THAT I HAD NO TIME TO PULL OVER AND HAD TO COME TO A COMPLETE STOP ON THE HIGHWAY. THE WOBBLING WOULD NOT STOP UNTIL WE REACHED 15 MILES PER HOUR. STARTED TO HEAD TO ASPEN AGAIN AND IN ANOTHER 3 MINUTES THE SAME WOBBLING, VIOLENT SHAKING STARTED AGAIN AT APX. 50-60 MPH. THERE MAY HAVE BEEN A SMALL INDENTATION IN THE PAVEMENT. THIS WAS SO UPSETTING FOR MY AUNT, THAT SHE REFUSED TO GET BACK IN MY JEEP AND ALSO REFUSED TO DRIVE BACK TO TEXAS AFTER THIS EXPERIENCE. WHEN DRIVING BACK TO TEXAS, EVERY TIME I HIT THE SMALLEST HOLE I WOULD SLOW DOWN WITH ANTICIPATION THAT THE WOBBLE WOULD START AGAIN. I DROVE 55 MPH ALL THE WAY BACK SO THAT I WOULD FEEL MORE COMFORTABLE IF IT OCCURRED AGAIN. THIS IS A SITUATION THAT NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED AND FIXED. WHEN A PASSENGER REFUSES TO RIDE IN A VEHICLE AFTER EXPERIENCING THIS FIRST HAND IT PUTS A BURDEN ON THE FAMILY AND THE JOY OF OWNING A CAR. I DO HAVE A DASH CAM VIDEO IF NEEDED THAT I WILL KEEP ON FILE. THIS IS THE 5TH TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED 3 TIMES BEFORE AUGUST AND TWICE IN AUGUST, MY JEEP WAS JUST SERVICED AND INSPECTED ON AUGUST 15 2019. I HAVE BROUGHT THIS TO THE DEALERS ATTENTION AND THEY ARE NOT AWARE OF ANY PERMANENT FIXES. THIS ALMOST CAUSED US TO BE REAR ENDED ON THE HIGHWAY AT NIGHT ON A BLIND CURVE.

MY NEW (FIRST OWNER) 2018 JEEP WRANGLER (JL) UNLIMITED SPORT DEVELOPED VIOLENT, SUDDEN TERRIFYING VIBRATIONS AT APPROXIMATELY THE 10,000 ODOMETER MARK. THIS CONDITION WAS REPEATEDLY INDUCED AT HI-WAY AND FREEWAY SPEEDS (40-70 MPH) WHEN A SLIGHT IMPERFECTION WAS ENCOUNTERED. EXAMPLES OF SUFFICIENT IMPERFECTIONS INCLUDE FREEWAY IRREGULARITY, TRANSITIONS AT OVERPASSES, SLIGHT POTHOLES, AND SIMILAR DISTURBANCES. THE VEHICLE WOULD ENTER A VIOLENT LEFT-TO-RIGHT SHAKING EVIDENCED BY A STEERING WHEEL THAT WAS DIFFICULT TO RETAIN A GRIP ON, TERRIFIED PASSENGERS, AND DANGEROUS CIRCUMSTANCES DUE TO HAVING TO SLOW TO APPROXIMATELY 35-45 MPH TO ALLOW THE VIBRATIONS TO SUBSIDE AND CONTROL TO BE REGAINED. ON DAILY COMMUTES ON THE FREEWAY. JEEP WAS TAKEN TO JEEP DEALERSHIP IN ARCHBOLD OHIO WHERE IT WAS SUPPOSED TO HAVE BEEN FIXED BUT THE ISSUE REMAINS TO THIS DAY.

Mileage: 10,000

WHILE STEPPING ON THE BRAKES, THE SERVICE SHIFTER LIGHT COMES ON, POWER STEERING GOES OUT, THEN THE DASHBOARD GOES CRAZY WITH ALL SORTS OF WARNINGS BLINKING AND DINGING: SWAY BAR, STABILITY CONTROL, BLIND SPOT ALERT, AUTO PARK, ETC. TEMP GOES UP AND DOWN, SPEEDOMETER GOES CRAZY. WHEN THE VEHICLE IS SHUT OFF AND RE-STARTED, IT USUALLY STARTS AS NORMAL. MOST OCCURRENCES HAVE BEEN WHEN SLOWING DOWN (IN LINE AT A DRIVE THRU, APPROACHING A STOPLIGHT). THE JEEP HAS BEEN IN THE SHOP 4 TIMES. THIS SERVICE SHIFTER LATE FIRST CAME ON JUNE 23 AND IT OCCURRED FOUR TIMES THAT DAY.FIRST THEY REPAIRED THE POWER STEERING. THE PROBLEM HAPPENED AGAIN AND THEY REPLACED THE MODULE IN THE STEERING COLUMN. THE PROBLEM HAPPENED AGAIN AND THE DEALERSHIP COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM. IT HAPPENED AGAIN AND THE VEHICLE HAD TO BE TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP WHERE IT IS STILL SITTING

MY NEW (FIRST OWNER) 2018 JEEP WRANGLER (JL) UNLIMITED SPORT DEVELOPED VIOLENT, SUDDEN FRONT-WHEEL TRANSVERSE OSCILLATIONS (FORCEFUL, TERRIFYING VIBRATIONS) AT APPROXIMATELY THE 7,000 ODOMETER MARK. THIS CONDITION WAS REPEATEDLY INDUCED AT HI-WAY AND FREEWAY SPEEDS (40-70 MPH) WHEN A SLIGHT IMPERFECTION WAS ENCOUNTERED. EXAMPLES OF SUFFICIENT IMPERFECTIONS INCLUDE FREEWAY IRREGULARITY, TRANSITIONS AT OVERPASSES, SLIGHT POTHOLES, AND SIMILAR DISTURBANCES. THE VEHICLE WOULD ENTER A VIOLENT LEFT-TO-RIGHT SHAKING EVIDENCED BY A STEERING WHEEL THAT WAS DIFFICULT TO RETAIN A GRIP ON, TERRIFIED PASSENGERS, AND DANGEROUS CIRCUMSTANCES DUE TO HAVING TO SLOW TO APPROXIMATELY 35-45 MPH TO ALLOW THE VIBRATIONS TO SUBSIDE AND CONTROL TO BE REGAINED. ON DAILY COMMUTES ON THE FREEWAY (110 N, 405, I5, 10E) THIS WOULD OCCUR ROUTINELY 3-6 TIMES. TWO JEEP DEALERSHIPS (DOWNTOWN LOS ANGELES, AND SCOTT ROBINSON IN TORRANCE [BOTH SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA DEALERSHIPS]) WERE UNABLE TO RESOLVE THE ISSUE. THE FIRST REPORTED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS FUNCTIONING PROPERLY, AND THE SECOND WAS NON-RESPONSIVE TO REQUEST FOR HELP.

MY JEEP RUBICON JL FLOATS OR DRIFTS AS I AM DRIVING IT. IT MAKES FOR A HARD DRIVE ON LONG DRIVES AND I MUST LOOK LIKE I AM DRIVING DRUNK TO OTHERS ON THE ROAD. IT IS EVEN WORSE IN WIND AND IT'S WINDY A LOT WHERE I LIVE. IT WAS VERY SCARY TO DRIVE AT FIRST. I DO NOT LIKE IT OR FEEL IT IS SAFE AT ALL. HAVING NEVER OWNED A JEEP I THOUGHT IT WAS JUST ME OR THAT THE TIRES NEEDED TO BE WORN DOWN A BIT. THE PROBLEM REMAINS. WHILE LISTENING TO FM/AM STATIONS THE VOLUME IS WACKY GOING LOW AND HIGH MAKING FOR LOUSY LISTENING. WHEN THE AC COMES ON ON THE HIGHER SETTING MY JEEP SOUNDS LIKE I AM GETTING READY FOR LIFT OFF. VERY LOUD. ONE LEVER ON MY SEAT NEAR THE HEADREST THAT CONTROLS THE ABILITY FOR A PASSENGER TO GET IN MY TWO DOOR ALMOST IMMEDIATELY BECAME DETACHED AND I DON'T EVEN HAVE MY BACK SEAT IN A LOT SO IT DOESN'T GET USED A LOT. I HAVE AN AUTOMATIC AND IT DOES NOT SHIFT SMOOTHLY. TODAY I PULLED OUT OF A PARKING SPOT AND MY JEEP SURGED FORWARD FASTER THAN IT SHOULD HAVE AND IT OFTEN SHIFTS POORLY FROM PARK INTO DRIVE AND REVERSE. THE SENSOR OR HEATER ELECTRIC WIRE ON THE INSIDE OF THE TAILGATE WINDOW DETACHED.

Mileage: 10

I HAVE HAD NUMEROUS ISSUE WITH BEING ABLE TO STEER THE VEHICLE STRAIT. THE JEEP IS ALL OVER THE PLACE. I HAD TO HOLD THE WHEEL AT A ANGLE FOR THE JEEP TO STEER STRAIT. I WAS HEARING A LOUD CLUNKING NOISE WHEN DRIVING AT LOW SPEEDS MAYBE 10-15MPH AND WAS TOLD THE REAR DIFFERENTIAL HAD TO BE REPLACED.

Mileage: 3,000

CONTACT PURCHASED THE VEHICLE ON 7/1/2019. THE STEERING WAS WONDERING ON THE DRIVE HOME FROM THE DEALERSHIP. WE ACTUALLY DID NOT GET TO TEST DRIVE THE CAR WE PURCHASED AS THEY WERE CLEANING IT SO WE TEST DROVE ANOTHER VEHICLE. I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE NORMANDIN IN SAN JOSE BECAUSE MY EXPERIENCE WITH SOUTH COUNTY GILROY WAS SO BAD, I WILL NEVER GO THERE AGAIN. NORMANDIN MADE AN APPOINTMENT FOR ME TO COME IN ON THE 10TH OF JULY TO GET THE ENGINE START STOP SYSTEM FIXED AND TAKE A LOOK AT THE STEERING. TURNS OUT THAT THE VEHICLE WAS SOLD TO US WITH A RECALL IN PLACE THAT THE DEALER DID NOT MENTION AND SHOULD NOT HAVE SOLD THE VEHICLE. STEERING WANDERS SO JEEP REPLACES TRACK BAR AND STEERING STABILIZER. PARTS CAME IN AND APPOINTMENT WAS SCHEDULED FOR 7/23 FOR NEW PARTS TO BE INSTALLED. JEEP SEEM TO WANDER LESS BUT WAS STILL DID NOT DRIVE AS GOOD AS MY JK. 7/29 I WAS DRIVING JEEP ON FREEWAY AROUND 60 MPH AND I STARTED TO EXPERIENCE THE STEERING WHEEL SHIMMER/ DEATH WOBBLE. EVERY TIME I CROSSED A JOINT ON THE FREEWAY, THE STEERING WHEEL WOULD SHAKE PRETTY VIOLENTLY FOR ABOUT 2-3 SECONDS BEFORE IT MELLOWED OUT. THIS HAPPENED ABOUT 8X DRIVING ABOUT 16 MILES DOWN THE HIGHWAY. THE JEEP WAS DROPPED OFF AT THE DEALER AUGUST 1ST FOR THEM TO EVALUATE IT AND I WAS TOLD IT COULD COST ME $100 AN HOUR FOR THE EVALUATION. I AM CURRENTLY DRIVING A RENTAL*DT *JB

Mileage: 450

WHEN TRAVELING AT SPEEDS OF APPROXIMATELY 50 MPH OR MORE, THE STEERING WILL SHAKE VIOLENTLY. THE VEHICLE BECOMES DIFFICULT TO CONTROL. THE ONLY WAY TO STOP THE SHAKING IS BY REDUCING THE SPEED. THIS HAS HAPPENED A COUPLE OF TIMES. I HAVE RETURNED IT TO THE DEALERSHIP TO RESOLVE THIS ISSUE. THE FIRST VISIT HELPED BUT ONLY FOR A COUPLE OF MONTHS AND THE PROBLEM RETURNED. I RETURNED IT TO THE DEALER AGAIN AND IT IS RESOLVED AT THIS TIME.

Mileage: 1,000

WANDERS AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. CANT MAINTAIN CENTER OF ROAD AND HAVE TO APPLY CONSTANT CORRECTIONS TO STEERING. FEELS LIKE DRIVING ON ICE. TOOK TO DEALER AND THEY WOULD NOT LOOK AT THE PROBLEM EVEN THOUGH JEEP KNOWS WELDS MAY BE BAD AND THE PROBLEM IS COMMON. VERY DANGEROUS

Mileage: 130

MY CAR HAS BEEN EXPERIENCING THE 'DEATH WOBBLE' AS SOME DEALERSHIPS HAVE TOLD ME THAT. THE STEERING GETS A MIND OF ITS OWN AND ITS SUPER HARD TO CONTROL SOMETIMES. I PURCHASED A BRAND NEW CAR AND IT FEELS LIKE IM DRIVING A LEMON. ALMOST EVERY OTHER DAY SINCE I PURCHASED IT (ONE MONTH AGO) SEEMS LIKE IVE ALMOST GOTTEN INTO AN ACCIDENT.

VEHICLE DELIVERED WITH EXCESSIVE STEERING WHEEL PLAY. ABOUT 10 DEGREES+ OF FREE PLAY. AFTER MULTIPLE VISITS TO DEALER, AND REPLACEMENT OF STEERING GEARBOX, IT IS LESS, ABOUT 5 DEGREES OF FREE PLAY.

WHILE DRIVING AT ANY SPEED, THE STEERING WHEEL CAN BE TURNED UP TO TWO INCHES RIGHT AND LEFT AND THE WHEELS DO NOT TURN.UP TO 4 INCHES OF SLACK , FREE PLAY IN THE STEERING WHEEL. STEERING WHEEL MUST BE CONSTANTLY MOVING TO STAY ON A STRAIGHT PATH. THERE WAS NO WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO TWO DIFFERENT DEALERS, INCLUDING PATTERSON CHRYSLER DODGE (903-218-4651, LOCATED AT 1611 US HIGHWAY 259 N, KILGORE, TX 75662). THE DEALER WAS AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND STATED THAT THERE WAS NO REMEDY. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 900. THE VIN WAS NOT PROVIDED. *TR*JB

Mileage: 900

STEERING HAS A DEAD SPOT IN THE WHEEL WITH ABOUT 2 INCHES OF PLAY. CONSTANTLY HAVE TO MAKE CORRECTIONS LEFT AND RIGHT AS YOU DRIVE DOWN THE HIGHWAY. THE VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED NEW ABOUT ONE MONTH AGO AND NOW HAS 452 MILES ON IT. DEALER JUST REPLACED THE TRACKER BAR, WHICH WAS A POSSIBLE FIX PROVIDED BY CORPORATE. HOWEVER, ONLY A SLIGHT DIFFERENCE WAS MADE TO THE STEERING PROBLEM AFTER THIS REPAIR. VERY UNSAFE WHEN DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY DOING 65-70 MPH. SERVICE MANAGER STATED THE ONLY THING CORPORATE HAS LISTED SO FAR TO REPLACE, IF THIS ISSUE ARISES, IS THE TRACKING BAR.

Mileage: 452

THE VEHICLE WANDERS ALL OVER THE ROAD. DIFFICULT TO KEEP IT WITHIN THE ROAD LANE. VERY DANGEROUS, ALWAYS CORRECTING STEERING BACK AND FORTH TO KEEP IT IN THE LANE. VEHICLE HAS LESS THAN 3000 MILES, ORIGINAL OWNER, COMPLETELY STOCK, NEVER TAKEN OFF ROAD.

THE VEHICLE HAS 800 MILES ON IT AND HAS NEVER BEEN OFFROAD BUT THERE IS VIBRATION AND LOOSE STEERING, IT'S MY WIFE'S DAILY COMMUTER SO IT DOESN'T EVEN SEE POTHOLES YET I CHECKED AND THE TRACK BAR CAN BE MOVED AROUND BY HAND ON A BRAND NEW VEHICLE. SHE EXPERIANCED DEATH WOBBLE AT 65MPH TWICE WHICH PROMPTED ME TO CHECK THE BAR.

LOOSE AND WANDERING STEERING. WHEN YOU TURN THE STEERING WHEEL THEIR IS ABOUT TWO INCHES OF PLAY BEFORE THE WHEELS MOVE MAKING IT DIFFICULT TO DRIVE AND UNSAFE. FCA HAS INSTALLED 4 STEERING GEARS, 2 STEERING DAMPERS AND A TRACK BAR. FCA DOES NOT KNOW HOW TO FIX THIS ISSUE. WE HAVE BEEN DEALING WITH THIS ISSUE FOR OVER 8 MONTHS. VEHICLE HAS BEEN PARKED FOR THE LAST 3 MONTHS.

Mileage: 500

I HAD A PREVIOUS REPORT OF THE DEATH WOBBLE. THIS REPORT IS FOR SEVERELY LOOSE STEERING. TOO MUCH PLAY IN THE STEERING WHEEL. THE JEEP WANDERS ALL OVER THE ROAD AND IT'S A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE. THE STEERING STABILIZER/DAMPENER HAS BEEN REPLACED FOUR TIMES NOW AND A NEW TRACK BAR WAS INSTALLED AND ALSO THE PCM HAS BEEN FLASHED. NOTHING IS WORKING AND THIS PROBLEM COULD POTENTIALLY CAUSE A SERIOUS ACCIDENT. THE DEALER SAYS 'WELL IT'S A SHORT WHEEL BASE TWO DOOR JEEP SO....'. I'M NOT BUYING THAT. I'VE HAD TWO DOOR JEEPS IN THE PAST AND IT WAS NEVER AN ISSUE. RESEARCHING THIS THERE ARE MANY OTHERS WITH THE SAME PROBLEM!

Mileage: 5,000

I'VE HAD MY VEHICLE IN 3 TIMES FOR WHAT THEY CALL THE DEATH WOBBLE. THE VEHICLE IS CURRENTLY STILL SITTING AT THE DEALERSHIP AS I AM WAITING A CALL FROM THE SEVICE MANAGER. THE SECOND TIME I BROUGHT IT IN THEY AGAIN FIXED SOMETHING ON THE FRONT END AND IT WAS A LITTLE BETTER BUT STILL NOW RIGHT. NOW I'M BEING TOLD THAT THE TIRES NEED TO BE REPLACED AT MY EXPENSE. THE VEHICLE HAS ONLY 35,000 MILES ON THE TIRES. DUE TO THE FRONT END PROBLEMS MY TIRES GO BAD AND I'M SUPPOSED TO PAY FOR IT. I'M TOLD ITS A WEARABLE ITEM. THEY WOULD BE FINE IF THEY WEREN'T CUPPING DUE TO THE FRONT END PROBLEM. I HAVE ALSO FILED A COMPLAINT WITH CHRYSLER JEEP AND HAVE HEARD NOTHING BACK FROM THEM EITHER. TO TOP IT ALL OFF, I WAS STOPPED BY THE STATE HIGHWAY PATROL. THEY SAW IT HAPPEN ON THE EXPRESSWAY, WERE CONCERNED FOR MY SAFETY AND STOPPED ME. THANK GOODNESS I DIDN'T GET A TICKET OR ANYTHING. I'M COMPLETELY FRUSTRATED. THE DEALERSHIP WON'T HELP FIX IT. CHRYSLER JEEP HAS NOT CALLED ME BACK. I'VE PAYED A LOT OF MONEY FOR THIS JEEP AND CAN'T GET IT FIXED.

Mileage: 28,000

HAVE HAD MY JEEP SERVICED TWICE FOR IT WANDERING ALL OVER THE ROAD FOR LITTLE TO ZERO IMPROVEMENT. I RECENTLY TOOK A 6.5 HOUR HIGHWAY TRIP AND IT WAS ABSOLUTELY HORRIFIC ALL OVER THE ROAD VERY UNSAFE AND THERE WAS LITTLE WIND AND DRY ROADS SO WEATHER WAS NOT THE CAUSE. CAN NOT STAY STRAIGHT CONSTANTLY MAKING ADJUSTMENTS WHEN YOU SHOULD BE GOING STRAIGHT. IT IS ALL THE TIME IN TOWN AND HIGHWAY BUT HIGHWAY DRIVING IS AMPLIFIED THE EFFECTS. I FEEL IT IS UNSAFE AND WE HAD IT PARKED FOR ABOUT 40 DAYS NOT USING IT BECAUSE MY FIANCE AND I FEEL IT'S U SAFE. AFTER THE MOST RECENT SERVICE STILL ABSOLUTELY NO CHANGE IN FACT THE HIGHWAY DRIVING IS MUCH WORSE.

Mileage: 4,200

PURCHASED NEW 2018 WRANGLER. STEERING HAS PLAY SIDE TO SIDE. VEHICLE WILL NOT RESPOND TO CORRECTION UNTIL YOU REACH THE THRESHOLD OF THE STEERING WHEEL PLAY TO EITHER SIDE. MAY BE DANGEROUS IN CERTAIN CONDITIONS. NO RECALL FOUND. DID FIND NUMEROUS ONLINE SITES, VIDEOS, AND BLOGS DOCUMENTING THIS ISSUE, BUT JEEP SEEMS TO THINK EVERYTHING IS OK.

Mileage: 500

LOOSE STEERING WITH TOO MUCH PLAY IN EITHER DIRECTION. VERY DANGEROUS AT HIGHER SPEEDS AND CAUSES WANDERING ALL OVER THE ROAD. ALSO, STEERING WHEEL LOCKS AFTER TURNING THE WHEEL ALL THE WAY TO THE LEFT AND BACK CENTER. I WAS DRIVING, MADE A U-TURN AND TRIED TO BRING THE WHEEL BACK CENTER, BUT THE WHEEL LOCKED AND ALMOST CAUSED ME TO GET INTO A COLLISION. I AM NOW NOT DRIVING THE CAR BECAUSE IT IS NOT SAFE. I HAVE BEEN TO THE DEALERSHIP 6 TIMES. NO ONE WILL HELP. THOUSANDS OF OTHERS HAVE THESE ISSUES YET NOTHING IS BEING DONE. I MADE TWO VIDEOS OF THE LOOSE STEERING AND WHEEL LOCKING. I WILL ATTACH THE LINKS BELOW LOOSE STEERING: HTTPS://WWW.YOUTUBE.COM/WATCH?V=IGGTRXGLNO0 STEERING WHEEL LOCK: HTTPS://WWW.YOUTUBE.COM/WATCH?V=CYLUAGXLE_Q

WRANGLER JL SPORT WONDERS FROM ONE SIDE OF THE LANE TO THE OTHER. WHILE THIS IS HAPPENING IF I HIT A BUMP IT WILL LAUNCH THE VEHICLE INTO THE OTHER LANE OR ON THE SHOULD. I SHOULDN'T FEEL AFRAID TO DRIVE A VEHICLE I SPENT $52,000.00. VERY DISAPPOINTED!! THE BEST PART IS IF YOU ASK A MECHANIC ABOUT IT AT THE DEALERSHIP THEY KNOW NOTHING ABOUT IT OR HEARD OF ANY PROBLEMS, WHAT A JOKE!!

UPON TAKING DELIVERY OF THE VEHICLE ON THE RIDE HOME I COULDN'T KEEP THE CAR STRAIGHT. IT KEPT WANDERING THROUGH THE LANE AND HAD TO DRIVE IT WITH 2 HANDS. I NOTIFIED DEALER AND THEY SAID IT'S A JEEP THING BUT THIS IS FAR FROM A JEEP THING. CAR FEELS UNSAFE TO DRIVE AS IT KEEPS MOVING LEFT TO RIGHT.

JEEP JL WRANGLER, STEERING LOOSE AND JEEP WANDERS AT HIGHWAY SPEED. ATTENTION NHTSA: THIS IS NOT A JEEP THING! PEOPLE HAVE BEEN ABLE TO SOLVE THIS! IF SOLVABLE, THEN BY DEFINITION NOT INHERENT TO ANY PLATFORM! SOLVES INCLUDE A COMBINATION OF NEW STEERING GEAR, NEW TENSION BOLT THAT CONNECTS THE STEERING WHEEL TO THE GEAR, AND NEW TRACK BAR. FCA IS GETTING AWAY WITH SUBSTANDARD STEERING AT THE HAND OF ITS TECHS THAT STATE THAT THIS IS JUST A JEEP THING WHEN IT IS NOT! FORCE A RECALL NOW OR FACE BLOOD ON YOUR HANDS! THIS IS FIXABLE! THIS IS WHY WE HIRED YOU TO DO THIS JOB! ACT NOW! THIS IS YOUR MOMENT!

I OWN A 2018 JEEP WRANGLER UNLIMITED 4 DOOR RUBICON. PURCHASED IT IN MAY 2018. IT HAS 3,682 MILES ON IT. FROM THE FIRST DAY I PURCHASED IT AND EVERY DAY THEREAFTER, THE STEERING HAS BEEN EXTREMELY LOOSE TO THE POINT THAT YOU HAVE TO KEEP TURNING THE WHEEL BACK AND FORTH TO KEEP THE VEHICLE TRAVELING IN A STRAIGHT LINE TO REMAIN IN YOUR DRIVING LANE. IT FEELS AS IF YOU WERE DRIVING AN OLD STYLE TRACTOR AND GIVES ONE THE IMPRESSION THE VEHICLE WILL GO OFF OF THE ROAD OR STRIKE ANOTHER VEHICLE NEXT TO YOU. THE HIGHER THE RATE OF SPEED THE MORE ONE HAS TO STEER BACK AND FORTH TO KEEP THE VEHICLE MOVING IN A STRAIGHT LINE. I HAVE TAKEN THE VEHICLE BACK TO JEEP TWICE TO REPORT THE ISSUE FOR REPAIR AND BOTH TIMES THEY HAVE INDICATED THAT THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH THE VEHICLE. THOUSANDS OF OTHER OWNERS HAVE MADE THIS COMPLAINT AND CHRYSLER JEEP IS REPLACING SOME OF THE DRAG BARS OR STEERING ASSIST ON SOME VEHICLES WHILE OTHER OWNERS ARE GETTING THEIR COMPUTER RESET TO CORRECT A FAULTY FACTORY SETTING WHICH ALLEGEDLY CAUSE THIS PROBLEM. IS NHTSA GOING TO GET OFF OF ITS ASS AND OFFICIALLY DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS OR DO WE HAVE TO START A CLASS ACTION TO SEE RESULTS? JEEP KNOWS ITS A PROBLEM. THEY KNOW THEY ARE LIABLE. I AM AN ATTORNEY WHO CURRENTLY REPRESENTS AN 18 YEAR OLD BOY WHO TOTALED AN EXACT SAME VEHICLE AS MINE WHEN HIS STEERING LOCKED UP AND HE CRASHED HEAD ON INTO A TELEPHONE POLE. NOW JEEP IS SENDING THEIR ENGINEER TO INSPECT THE VEHICLE.HOW MANY PEOPLE HAVE TO DIE OR BE INJURED BEFORE YOU ACT?

Mileage: 18

VEHICLE IS EXTREMELY HARD TO CONTROL. WANDERS ALL OVER THE ROAD AND HAS TO CONSTANTLY BE OVER CORRECTED. SHAKES VIOLENTLY AFTER GOING OVER SMALL BUMPS AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. WONT STOP SHAKING UNTIL YOU SLOW DOWN TO LESS THAN 50 MPH.

Mileage: 1,500

WE OWN A 2018 JEEP WRANGLER UNLIMITED (4-DOOR) RUBICON, ORIGINAL OWNER, CURRENTLY HAS 2625 MILES ON IT. THE VEHICLE WANDERS ON ALL ROAD SURFACES. THE STEERING IS VERY LOOSE AND IT IS DIFFICULT TO KEEP IN IN THE LANES WHILE IN MOTION. THIS EXCESSIVE PLAY IN THE STEERING MAKES FOR A VERY UNCOMFORTABLE TO DRIVE AS YOU ARE CONSTANTLY CORRECTING THE DIRECTION OF THE VEHICLE TO KEEP IT FROM GOING OFF THE ROADWAY OR INTO ANOTHER VEHICLE. THIS STEERING ISSUE IS VERY DANGEROUS. I HAVE TAKEN IT BACK TO THE DEALER FOR REPAIR AND THEY HAVE FOUND NOTHING.

Mileage: 2,000

JUST BOUGHT A 2018 WRANGLER JL LEFTOVER/ BRAND NEW OFF THE LOT. I IMMEDIATELY NOTICED THAT THE STEERING IS VERY LOOSE AND DIFFICULT TO CONTROL. THIS IS ESPECIALLY TRUE IN WIND OR IF DRIVING 55 MILES PER HOUR OR MORE. MY HUSBAND REFUSES TO DRIVE THE CAR BECAUSE HE FEELS UNSAFE DOING SO. I GET VERY NERVOUS AS WELL. I'M CONSTANTLY HAVING TO ADJUST THE WHEEL TO STAY ON THE ROAD. THE SECOND ISSUE IS THAT SOMETIMES WHEN I SET THE CRUISE CONTROL IT WILL JUST KEEP GOING PAST MY DESIGNATED SPEED I CHOSE UNLESS I TURN IT OFF. LASTLY MY CAR SEEMS TO NOT SHIFT GEARS DOWN. IT THROTTLES AND REVS. WHEN I TOOK IT TO BE LOOKED AT I WAS TOLD IT'S NO BIG DEAL. WELL IT IS! EVEN MY LOCAL MECHANIC SAID HE FEELS THAT IT'S NOT SWITCHING PROPERLY BETWEEN GEARS. I'VE WAITED 22 YEARS TO BUY MY FIRST WRANGLER AND I PAID $42000 FOR IT. IT SHOULD NOT DO ANY OF THIS! IT'S BRAND NEW. IT'S ALSO A SAFETY HAZARD. I COULD GET INTO A MAJOR ACCIDENT! I NEED HELP WITH THESE THINGS PLEASE. STAND BEHIND YOUR PRODUCT. THIS IS MY FIRST WRANGLER BUT MY 4TH JEEP. I ALSO TALKED MY MOM AND BROTHER INTO BUYING NEW JEEPS THE SAME WEEK I DID LAST MONTH! MY CONTACT IS [XXX]. [XXX]. I'D LIKE CALL BACK SO SOMEONE CAN HELP ME. THANK YOU INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TT

THE VEHICLE WILL UNEXPECTEDLY PULL TO THE LEFT WHILE DRIVING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. THIS OCCURS AFTER A FEW MINUTES OF HIGHWAY DRIVING AND WILL WORSEN THE LONGER THE VEHICLE IS DRIVEN. I HAVE DEMONSTRATED THIS TO MULTIPLE DEALERSHIP SERVICE ADVISERS AND ALL ATTEMPTS TO FIX THE ISSUE HAVE NOT WORKED. THE LAST ATTEMPT A FIX BY A DIFFERENT DEALERSHIP I WAS TOLD CHRYSLER DOES NOT HAVE A FIX FOR THIS AT THIS TIME. I BELIEVE THIS HAS THE POTENTIAL TO CAUSE AN ACCIDENT ESPECIALLY IN POOR ROAD CONDITIONS.

THE 2018 JEEP WRANGLER UNLIMITED JL HAS AN ISSUE WITH "LOOSE STEERING" OR " OVER CORRECTING". WHEN TRYING TO KEEP THE JEEP IN A STRAIGHT LINE IT TENDS TO "DRIFT". CAUSING THE DRIVER TO CONSTANTLY MOVE THE STEERING WHEEL. IT IS WORSE IN AREAS WITH HILLS OR ROADS WITH MANY TURNS. DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY IN SPEEDS IN EXCESS OF 40 MPH POSES AN ISSUE WHEN GOING AROUND A CURVE. IF THE DRIVER TURNS THE WHEEL EVEN THE SLIGHTEST BIT TOO CLOSE YOU CAN END UP IN A WALL.

Mileage: 11,502

THE JEEP WANDERS ALL OF THE ROAD AND IS IMPOSSIBLE TO KEEP IT GOING IN A STRAIGHT LINE. HIGHWAY SPEEDS ARE WHEN ITS THE WORST. YOU WEAR YOURSELF OUT TRYING TO CONSTANTLY CORRECT THE STEERING.

MY VEHICLE HAS BEEN BACK TO THE DEALER 5 TIMES SINCE MY PURCHASE IN NOV OF 2018. FIVE DIFFERENT THINGS HAVE BEEN REPLACED AND ONE OF THE DAMPENERS HAS BEEN REPLACED TWICE NOW. IT'S BEEN AT THE DEALER FOR 3 WEEKS STRAIGHT NOW. CHRYSLER SAYS THAT THERE IS NOTHING THAT THEY CAN DO AT THIS TIME AND REFERRED ME BACK TO THE DEALER, THE DEALER SUGGESTED I GET AN ATTORNEY SPECIALIZING IN THE LEMON LAW. I HAVE DONE SO AND ALSO WILL BE TALKING TO THE FEDERAL TRADE COMMISSION. SO FAR I HAVE LOST A DAYS WORK AND FIVE 30 MILE TRIPS TO AND FROM THE DEALERSHIP ONLY TO FIND OUT THAT THE PROBLEM STILL PERSISTS. IT'S VERY DANGEROUS TO DRIVE. THE DEALERSHIP SAID THAT THE NEW ONES WILL SOMETIMES HAVE A LITTLE 'WIGGLE' TO THEM AT TIMES AND I INFORMED HIM THAT IF I HAD KNOW THIS I WOULD NOT HAVE BOUGHT IT HAD I KNOW THIS. I AM VERY UPSET WITH CHRYSLER AT THE MOMENT . I HAVE NEVER HAD A PROBLEM OUT OF MY 2015 JEEP WRANGLER SAHARA UNLIMITED OR MY 2009 JEEP ALI WRY. I AM VERY DISAPPOINTED IN JEEP.

THE DEALER CHARLIE'S DODGE CHRYSLER JEEP RAM (725 ILLINOIS AVE MAUMEE, OH 43537, (419) 893-0241) INDICATED THAT THE SAFETY PROBLEM WAS A KNOWN ISSUE FROM THE MANUFACTURER BUT THAT A PERMANENT REMEDY HAD NOT BEEN DETERMINED. THE DEALER REPLACED THE STEERING DAMPER HOWEVER, THE FAILURE RECURRED AND THE SECOND REPAIR WAS TO REPLACE THE STEERING GEAR BOX, THEY UPDATED THE TRAC BAR AND REALIGNED THE VEHICLE BUT THE UNSTABLE STEERING CONDITION CONTINUED.

WHILE DRIVING AT NORMAL HIGHWAY SPEEDS (60MPH AND ABOVE) EACH OVERPASS, SEAM OR POTHOLE IN THE ROAD CAUSES MY 2018 WRANGLER TO SHAKE AND VIBRATE UNCONTROLLABLY. AT TIMES THIS "DEATH WOBBLE" IS SO VIOLENT THAT THE ONLY WAY TO MAKE IT STOP IS TO PULL OVER AND COME TO A COMPLETE STOP. IMAGINE TRYING TO KEEP CONTROL OF YOUR JEEP WHILE IT'S SHAKING UNCONTROLLABLY AND YOU HAVE TO CROSS 3 LANES OF TRAFFIC TO PULL OVER. THIS WAS MY EXPERIENCE ON 5.4.19. THIS WAS NOT THE FIRST TIME. THIS IS ALSO AFTER THE DEALERSHIP AND MANUFACTURER HAVE "REPAIRED" THE ISSUE ON 3 PREVIOUS OCCASIONS.

AFTER INSTALLATION OF THE JEEP MANUFACTURED AND WARRANTIED 2 INCH MOPAR LIFT KIT AT THE JEEP DEALERSHIP, THE VEHICLE'S STEERING WHEEL AND FRONT END WILL VIOLENTLY SHAKE AFTER HITTING A BUMP AT SPEEDS OF 50 MILES PER HOUR AND ABOVE. THIS WAS MOST COMMONLY SEEN WHEN DRIVING OVER BRIDGES AT SPEEDS OF AROUND 50 MPH. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHEN THEY CLAIMED THEY COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE RESULTS. I THEN HAD TO RISK MY OWN SAFETY TO DEMONSTRATE TO A TECHNICIAN THAT THE PROBLEM WAS INDEED HAPPENING. THIS OSCILLATION OF THE STEERING AND SUSPENSION COMPONENTS IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS AND REQUIRES ME TO COME TO A COMPLETE STOP BEFORE THE VEHICLE WILL STOP SHAKING. I ALSO HAVE LITTLE TO NO CONTROL OVER THE VEHICLE WHEN THIS HAPPENS UNTIL THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN SLOWED DOWN SUBSTANTIALLY. THE PROBLEM IS ONGOING AND HAS YET TO BE SOLVED.

Mileage: 4,000

WHILE DRIVING ABOUT 65 MILES PER HOUR I RAN OVER A BRIDGE EXPANSION JOINT ON A BRIDGE APPROXIMATELY TEN OR MORE TIMES DURING MY TRIP. ON THREE OCCASIONS WHEN I RAN OVER THE EXPANSION JOINT THE FRONT OF THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO SHAKE VIOLENTLY UP THROUGH THE STEERING WHEEL CAUSING ME TO LEAVE MY LANE OF TRAVEL. I FEEL IF A CAR WAS NEXT TO ME AT THE TIME I COULD HAVE CRASHED. APPLYING BRAKES AND SLOWING ENDED THE PROBLEM EACH TIME.

WANDERING AND LOOSE. STEERING DOES NOT TRACK ON CENTER BUT NEEDS TO BE CONTINUOUSLY CORRECTED. IMMEDIATELY AFTER PURCHASE WAS TAKEN TO DEALER TO CHECK ALIGNMENT AND WAS TOLD THIS WAS NORMAL. AT SPEED IT IS VERY UNCOMFORTABLE TO DRIVE AS IT WILL WANDER AND HAS A DEAD SPOT WHEN STEERING WHEEL IS LEFT AT THE CENTER POSITION.

Mileage: 150

VEHICLE STEERING WHEEL SHAKES FROM THE SLIGHTEST CRACK OR IMPERFECTIONS IN THE ROAD ALSO WANDERS BACK AND FORTH MAKING IT DIFFICULT TO KEEP IN LANE

Mileage: 12,000

THE VEHICLE WANDERS ON THE ROAD AND REQUIRES TOO MUCH CORRECTIVE STEERING. THE DEALER TOLD ME UP TO 2 1/2' OF STEERING WHEEL PLAY IS ACCEPTABLE, BUT I FEEL IT'S UNSAFE. ESPECIALLY IN WINDY CONDITIONS IN THE MOUNTAINS, AND ABOVE 50 MPH, THE STEERING IS VERY UNRESPONSIVE AND THE VEHICLE SOMETIMES WANDERS SEVERAL FEET FROM THE TRAVEL LANE WHILE I TRY TO CORRECT THE ANGLE. THIS IS THE 32ND JEEP I HAVE OWNED, AND OUR FAMILY STILL HAS THREE OTHERS, INCLUDING A 35 YEAR OLD CJ-8. ALL OF THEM STEER MUCH BETTER THAN MY COMPLETELY STOCK 2018 RUBICON. MY JEEP IS 14 MONTHS OLD AND HAS 10,000 MILES ON IT. IT HAS BEEN TO THE DEALER A FEW TIMES AND THEY TELL ME THE STEERING IS NORMAL FOR THIS MODEL, AT THE SAME TIME ADMITTING THAT THE JL STEERING IS WORSE THAN PRIOR YEARS. I HAVE BEEN TOLD THERE IS NOTHING THAT CAN BE DONE TO MAKE THIS VEHICLE SAFER.

SEVERAL TIMES WHEN DRIVING AT APPROX. 65-70 MILES PER HOUR ON THE FREEWAY, I EXPERIENCED THE "DEATH WOBBLE" A VIOLENT SHAKING OF THE FRONT END OF THE JEEP INCLUDING THE WHEELS, FRONT END, STEERING WHEEL AND DASHBOARD ETC. THE ONLY WAY TO STOP IT IS TO SLOW TO ABOUT 50 MPH OR LESS. THIS OCCURS WHEN GOING ACROSS A SEPARATION ON A FREEWAY OR OVER A BUMP IN THE ROADWAY. THIS FIRST OCCURRED WITH ABOUT 3025 MILES ON THE NEW JEEP. IT ALWAYS HAPPENS ON THE HIGHWAY AS THERE MUST BE SPEED OVER 65-70 FOR IT TO OCCUR. IT WAS VERY DANGEROUS AND FRIGHTENING TO HAVE TO DECELERATE IN THE FAST LANE OF TRAFFIC ON THE WORST AND MOST DANGEROUS FREEWAY IN AMERICA, THE 91 THROUGH CORONA AND RIVERSIDE, CA. VERY VERY DANGEROUS AND I AM FORTUNATE I DID NOT CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. I HAVE A SHORT VIDEO SHOWING ONE EPISODE WHEN I WAS ALREADY CONSIDERABLY SLOWED.

THIS VEHICLE WANDERS IN THE LANE LEFT TO RIGHT WHEN DRIVING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. WHEN PASSING TRACTOR-TRAILERS IT MOVES FROM SIDE-TO-SIDE CAUSING A DIFFICULT AND PERHAPS DANGEROUS SITUATION. FCA'S SLOW RESPONSE, TESTING AND UPGRADING, ALONG WITH THEIR DEALER'S USE OF THE STANDARD PHRASE: "OPERATING AS DESIGNED" IS ANNOYING AND DANGEROUS, AND I JUST HEARD IT FROM A DEALERSHIP SERVICE ADVISOR TODAY IN GEORGETOWN, TX! LET'S ASSUME THAT HAZARDOUS DRIVING CONDITIONS OF A VEHICLE SHOULD HAVE BEEN NOTICED BY THE POTENTIAL BUYER IN THE TEST DRIVE, AS ANTICIPATED BY THE PHRASE, "OPERATING AS DESIGNED", THE VERY LEAST A CAR MANUFACTURER COULD DO IS TO WARN THE POTENTIAL OWNERS OF A POSSIBLE PROBLEM, SINCE MANY NEW AUTO TEST DRIVES DO NOT INVOLVE VEHICLES TRAVELING 70-80MPH. STEERING ISSUES SHOULD NOT BE TAKEN LIGHTLY BY ANY AUTO MANUFACTURER! *TR

WHEN HITTING A BUMP - I.E. BRIDGE EXPANSION JOINT - AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS THE VEHICLE'S FRONT WHEELS WENT INTO A SEVERE WOBBLE WHEN REQUIRED AN IMMEDIATE DECELERATION TO ALLEVIATE. NUMEROUS INSTANCES. QUITE SCARY IN HEAVY TRAFFIC, EVEN FOR AN EXPERIENCED DRIVER AND A FORMER GENERAL MANAGER OF A FIVE-STAR CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP!! EXTENSIVE RESEARCH FOUND A NUMBER OF PEOPLE HAVING THIS PROBLEM, YET NO RECALL OR "FIX" FROM FCA HAS EVIDENTLY BEEN FOUND. IN PREVIOUS RESPONSES FROM CORPORATE THEY INDICATE THAT IT IS NOT A SAFETY ISSUE AND I MUST VEHEMENTLY DISAGREE. THE COMMON TERM USED IS "DEATH WOBBLE"!! DO WE NEED TO WAIT UNTIL AN INEXPERIENCED DRIVER OR INNOCENT FELLOW TRAVELER BECOMES A VICTIM?. MY JEEP IS IN THE SHOP NOW AWAITING SOME SORT OF DISPOSITION.

I PURCHASED MY 2018 JEEP WRANGLER UNLIMITED JL IN JUNE OF 2018. WITHIN THE FIRST MONTH OF HAVING THE VEHICLE THE PROBLEMS BEGAN. I INITIALLY HAD WINDSHIELD SEALS THAT WERE MISSING SO THE JEEP WOULD FILL UP WITH WATER FROM BEHIND THE DASHBOARD. THE DEALERSHIP SAID THEY "FIXED THE PROBLEM" AND THEN MY WINDSHIELD CRACKED BECAUSE THEY DIDN'T INSTALL PROPERLY, NOW IT IS LEAKING AGAIN BEHIND THE STEERING WHEEL. THIS WILL BE MY 3RD VISIT TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR THIS PROBLEM. THEN THE "DEATH WOBBLE" BEGAN AROUND 8/9,000 MILES, ALMOST CAUSING MULTIPLE ACCIDENTS. MY VEHICLE HAS BEEN IN TWO DEALERSHIPS SINCE OCTOBER 2018 TRYING TO FIX ALL OF THE ISSUES OCCURRING. THE JEEP IS BEING SENT TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR THE 5TH TIME ON APRIL 10, 2019 FOR ONGOING STEERING ISSUES. THE DAMPER (RECALL) IN THE VEHICLE WAS REPLACED 4 TIMES WITHOUT SUCCESS AND THE STEERING CONTINUES TO WORSEN. KEEP IN MIND, THE DAMPER RECALL FIX WAS ONLY AVAILABLE AT MY DEALERSHIP IN JANUARY OF 2019. I NOW HAVE 18,000 MILES ON THE VEHICLE, LOOSE AND WOBBLING STEERING, CAN'T MAINTAIN A LANE WHILE DRIVING, VIBRATION AND WOBBLING WHILE BREAKING, THE EMERGENCY BREAK IS NO LONGER ENGAGING (MANUAL TRANSMISSION), AND JUST PUT IN A COMPLAINT WITH JEEP A FEW WEEKS AGO AFTER LITTLE SUCCESS WITH THE DEALERSHIP. JEEP IS TELLING ME THAT MY UNSAFE, UNSTABLE VEHICLE HAS TOO MANY MILES ON IT TO BUYBACK. I HAVE HAD THE VEHICLE FOR LESS THAN 10 MONTHS AND HAVE NEVER HAD THIS MANY ISSUES WITH ANY OF MY OTHER VEHICLES IN MY LIFE. THE VEHICLE WILL BE GOING BACK TO THE ORIGINAL DEALERSHIP I PURCHASED IT FROM FOR THE 5TH TIME FOR STEERING ISSUES AND 3RD TIME FOR THE WINDSHIELD SEALS, ALONG WITH MANY OTHER ISSUES. I NO LONGER FEEL SAFE IN MY OWN VEHICLE IN WHICH I AM PAYING A HIGH PRICE FOR EVERY MONTH.

I PURCHASED VEHICLE IN FEB 2018. WITHIN THE FIRST WEEK OR TWO STARTED HAVING PROBLEMS. A COWORKER PURCHASED A 2018 JEEP CHEROKEE. SHE RETURNED IT IN TWO MONTHS BECAUSE IT WOULD NOT START. ANOTHER COWORKER'S GIRLFRIEND PURCHASED A 2018 RUBICON WITH ENGINE LIGHT PROBLEMS, STARTING ISSUES, AND RADIO NOT WORKING. MY VEHICLE HISTORY: REAR DEFROSTER SENSOR ON BACK WINDOW DOES NOT STAY SECURED. 4TH RETURN TO DEALER. SECOND WINDOW TO BE REPLACED. PANEL LIGHT FOR REAR WINDOW DEFROSTER CONTINUES TO LIGHT, BUT SENSOR IS NOT CONNECTED. HAVE BEEN ON WAIT LIST SINCE MARCH 2019 FOR NEW WINDOW TO ARRIVE. IT APPEARS THE SENSOR CORD IS TOO SHORT TO REACH WINDOW WHEN RAISING. DEATH WOBBLE HAS HAPPENED 3X WHILE IN MOTION ON HIGHWAY AND HAS BEEN AT THE DEALERSHIP 3X FOR THIS ISSUE. VEHICLE DOES NOT CORRECT ITSELF WHILE DRIVING AND IT FEELS LIKE THE VEHICLE IS COMING APART. HAD TO CONTINUE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY, SLOWING DOWN DID NOT CORRECT THE PROBLEM, UNTIL I REACHED A SAFE PLACE TO PULL OVER. ONCE COMING TO A COMPLETE STOP, IT CORRECTED ITSELF. THE JEEP LOOSES TOTAL CONTROL AND I AM AFRAID SOMETHING MAY COME APART CAUSING INJURY OR DEATH. FREEDOM TOPS HAD RATTLE INSIDE OF THEM WITH HUGE WIND NOISE WHEN IN MOTION. PROBLEM CORRECTED WHEN DEALERSHIP SWITCHED OUT FREEDOM TOPS. NOW THE FREEDOM TOP IS TOO BIG FOR FREEDOM BAG. THE BAG APPEARS TO BE COMING APART WHEN ZIPPED. DROVE TO STORE AND GOT OUT OF THE VEHICLE. TRIED TO REMOTE LOCK THE VEHICLE, WHICH FAILED. TRIED TO START JEEP, IT WOULD NOT START. FOLLOWED INSTRUCTIONS ON PANEL TO USE KEY BY PLACING CLOSE TO REMOTE START BUTTON. AFTER A SECOND TRY IT STARTED. RADIO PLAYING TWO STATIONS AT ONE TIME. BACK CAMERA WOULD NOT WORK. KEY FOB REPLACED AS IT WAS FALLING APART. ARMREST REPLACED, WOULD NOT CONNECT WHEN ENCLOSED IN HOLDER. ALL BEGAN IN 2/2018. DATE I AM ABOUT TO ENTER BELOW IS FOR THE WOBBLE.

AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS IF I HIT A BUMP I GET WHAT THOSE IN THE JEEP COMMUNITY CALL A DEATH WOBBLE. I HAVE TO REDUCE MY SPEED TO A DANGEROUSLY SLOW SPEED, ESPECIALLY DURING BUSY MORNING AND AFTERNOON COMMUTES. I HAVE HAD THE STABILIZER REPLACED TWICE, THE 3RD TIME I WENT IN THE SERVICE GROUP SAID THEY COULDN'T REPLICATED SO THEY CAN'T DO ANYTHING ANY CAR THAT HAS SOMETHING CALLED A DEATH WOBBLE SHOULD NOT BE ON THE ROAD. ITS ABSOLUTELY REDICULOUS THAT THIS IS A THING. I AM IN A 9 MONTH OLD CAR, 12K MILES, THIS SHOULD NOT BE HAPPENING TODAY WAS THE LAST STRAW - CAR DRIVING NEXT TO ME ON HIGHWAY, AS I WAS DEALING WITH THE PROBLEM OPENED HIS WINDOW AND YELLED THAT MY TIRE WAS SHAKING. THIS NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED

Mileage: 12,000

I PURCHASED ON SEPTEMBER 14, 2018 THAT HAS WHAT IS CALLED THE "DEATH WOBBLE". IT ONLY OCCURS WHEN DRIVING OVER 60 MILES AN HOUR. IT IS CAUSED BY A FAULTY STEERING DAMPER. I BROUGHT IT IN FOR THE FIRST TIME IN DECEMBER 4, 2018 WHEN I COULD NOT GAIN CONTROL OF THE CAR AND ALMOST WRECKED. IT WAS THE 6 TIME IT HAD HAPPENED. THE CAR WAS SEIZED IMMEDIATELY, IT WAS A SAFETY ISSUE. I WAS TOLD TO CLEAN THE CAR OUT AND THEY COULDN'T TELL ME WHEN I WOULD HAVE IT RETURNED. I ALSO WAS HAVING THEM CHECK THE BRAKES AS THEY HAD BEEN SQUEAKING. I DID NOT RECEIVE THE CAR BACK UNTIL JANUARY 8 2019. AT THAT TIME, I WAS TOLD IT WAS FINE. THE BRAKES CONTINUED TO SQUEAK AND WHEN IT SNOWED, I FOUND OUT THE DEFROSTER WAS NOT IN WORKING ORDER. I WAS TOLD THE DEFROSTER PART WAS ON BACK ORDER (STILL NOT FIXED AND ITS APRIL 1, 2019) AND THEY GRINDED THE PADS OR ROTORS DUE TO A GLAZE ON THEM. THE BRAKES WERE SOFT AND STILL SQUEAKING. ON FEBRUARY 20 THEY SAID THEY WOULD ORDER NEW BRAKES. MARCH 1, BRAKES LOCKED UP AND I ALMOST WRECKED. I PUMPED THEM AND THEY WORKED AFTER THAT. I IMMEDIATELY DROVE THE CAR THERE AND LEFT IT. THE BRAKES WERE REPLACED, AND I PICKED THE CAR UP ON THE MARCH 7, 2019. MARCH 16, 2019 I WAS GOING OVER THE BRIDGE AT 65 MILES AN HOUR AND THE "DEATH WOBBLE" STARTED AGAIN. I ASKED MY HUSBAND TO DRIVE IT AND IT DID IT TO HIM AS WELL AT ABOUT 65 MILES AN HOUR AS HE WENT OVER A BUMP. WE LEFT TOWN ON SUNDAY MARCH 17 AND DID NOT RETURN UNTIL THE 22. ON MARCH 23, 2019 WE BROUGHT THE CAR IN. THE TECHNICIAN CONFIRMED IT WAS THE STEERING WHEEL DAMPER WAS FAULTY AGAIN. TO THIS DAY I STILL DO NOT HAVE THE CAR AND HAVE BEEN TOLD THAT THEY HAVE A "NEW" PART. THIS WILL BE THE 3RD TIME. DDOCUMENTS, DO NOT SHOW EVERY TIME I WAS IN THERE NOR WHAT WAS REALLY HAPPENING. IT SAID MY BRAKES WERE SOFT AND DIDN'T MENTION THAT THEY LOCKED UP AND SEIZED TO WORK.

AT 3800 MILES MY VEHICLE EXPERIENCED VIOLENT STEERING WHEEL VIBRATION. THE DEALERSHIP REPLACED THE STEERING DAMPER. WITHIN WEEKS IT STARTED TO OCCUR AGAIN. I OPENED A CASE WITH CHRYSLER AND THE DEALERSHIP AND IT APPEARS THE FIX IS REPLACING IT WITH ANOTHER AFTERMARKET STEERING DAMPER THAT ISN'T AVAILABLE TILL JULY. THE FREQUENCY AND SEVERITY OF THE WOBBLE IS INCREASING. THIS MORNING ON A 20 MINUTE COMMUTE IT OCCURRED TWICE. ONCE AT 70MPH AND THEN ONCE AT 58MPH EXITING THE HIGHWAY. TURNING THE WHEEL TO GET OF THE EXIT WAS DIFFICULT AND THE VIBRATION CONTINUED UNTIL I GOT THE CAR DOWN TO 30MPH. I CALL CHRYSLER AGAIN TELLING THEM I'M ACTUALLY SCARED NOW TO DRIVE MY VEHICLE ON THE HIGHWAY AND AT THIS RATE AM RISK FOR AN ACCIDENT AND CAN'T WAIT TILL JULY FOR REPAIR.

THIS IS REGARDING WHAT'S KNOWN IN THE JEEP COMMUNITY AS THE 'DEATH WOBBLE.' I BOUGHT MY CAR BRAND NEW IN SEPTEMBER OF 2018, AND I'VE EXPERIENCED THE DEATH WOBBLE. I'LL BE ON THE FREEWAY, DRIVING 65+ MPH, ALL OF THE SUDDEN HIT A BUMP OR RUMBLE IN THE ROAD AND THEN LOSE CONTROL OF MY STEERING. THE JEEP STARTS VIBRATING (WOBBLING) UNCONTROLLABLY. THE ONLY WAY TO STOP THIS IS BY SLOWING DOWN ENOUGH TO COME TO A STOP, WHICH CAN PROVE DIFFICULT AND DANGEROUS ON THE FREEWAY. THIS IS SOMETHING I FEEL SHOULD BE FIXED. MY CAR HAS NEVER BEEN IN AN ACCIDENT, HAS ALL NEW PARTS SINCE I BOUGHT IT BRAND NEW AND SHOULDN'T HAVE THIS PROBLEM.

STEERING LOCKS UP WHEN TRAVELING AT SPEEDS ABOVE 60 MPH. I AM UNABLE TO TURN AND HAVE ALMOST BEEN FORCED OFF THE ROAD ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS WHEN THE HIGHWAY CURVES, AND I CANNOT TURN TO MEET IT.

AT SPEEDS OF 60 MILES PER HOUR AND GREATER, WHEN VEHICLE HITS A BUMP IN THE ROAD THE ENTIRE FRONT END VIOLENTLY VIBRATES CAUSING LOSS OF STEERING CONTROL. VERY DIFFICULT TO STEER HOWEVER RESOLVES ITSELF AFTER HITTING ANOTHER BUMP, SLOWING DOWN OR AFTER A MINUTE OR SO. THIS OCCURS ON HIGH WAY DRIVING AND IT IS VERY DIFFICULTY TO SLOW DOWN. FIRST NOTICED EARLY AUGUST 2018 AND STILL PERSISTS TODAY. BEEN TO DEALER TWICE AND THEY FOUND NOTHING THE FIRST TIME SECOND TIME THEY SAY IT IS A STEERING DAMPER THAT HAS AIR BUBBLES IN IT. THEY HAVE NOT CORRECTED THE PROBLEM AND IT IS GETTING WORSE..

IF I RUN OVER A BRIDGE EXPANSION JOINT OR BUMP IN THE ROAD AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS THE FRONT SUSPENSION WILL START SHAKING AND MY STEERING WHEEL WILL FEEL COMPLETELY LOOSE. SOMETIMES IT CORRECTS ITSELF AND OTHER TIMES IT IS SUCH A VIOLENT SHAKE YOU HAVE TO REDUCE YOUR SPEED DOWN TO 40 MPH OR LESS UNTIL IT STOPS. ONE INCIDENT WAS WHEN I WAS EXITING THE HIGHWAY AND AS I WAS MERGING IN I HIT A COUPLE OF BUMPS IN THE ROAD. IT STARTED TO SHAKE SO VIOLENTLY THAT I THOUGHT I WAS GOING TO LOOSE CONTROL. THANKFULLY I WAS ONLY DOING 35 TO 40 MPH. IT WAS SO BAD THE PERSON BESIDE ME SLAMMED ON THEIR BRAKES. I HAD TO SLOW DOWN TO 15 MPH BEFORE IT STOPPED. THEN IT WAS LIKE NOTHING EVER HAPPENED.

I HAVE A 2018 JEEP WRANGLER SPORT UNLIMITED WITH 7,000 MILES. I HAVE BEEN EXPERIENCING A VIOLENT SHAKING WHEN HITTING A SLIGHT BUMP IN A ROAD TRAVELING ANYWHERE FROM 45-70 MPH. THE VIOLENT SHAKING HAS BEEN SO BAD THAT I HAVE HAD TO PULL OVER SEVERAL TIMES ON THE HIGHWAY. I HAVE TAKEN THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER 5 TIMES FOR THE ISSUE. REPAIRS WERE MADE AND EVENTUALLY THE STEERING DAMPNER WAS REPLACED. MY DEALER IS NOW IN THE PROCESS OF ORDERING AN AFTERMARKET PART TO REPLACE THE ORIGINAL BUT THAT PIECE IS ON BACKORDER FOR SEVERAL WEEKS. THE VIOLENT SHAKING CONTINUES AND I FEEL THAT IT IS GETTING WORSE AND IS A SAFETY CONCERN IN MY OPINION AS THIS CONTINUES TO HAPPEN ON THE HIGHWAY WHILE TRAVELING THE SPEED LIMIT AT 60+ MPH. I HONESTLY DO NOT FEEL SAFE TRAVELING WITH MY YOUNG CHILDREN AND DON'T FEEL COMFORTABLE WITH THE PROCESS MY DEALERSHIP IS TAKING OR THAT THE "FIX" THEY HAVE PLANNED WILL WORK.

VIOLENT SHAKING OF THE ENTIRE VEHICLE WHEN HITTING A BUMP AT HIGHWAY SPEED (72MPH) SHAKING IS SO VIOLENT THAT HOLDING ONTO THE STEERING WHEEL IS NEAR IMPOSSIBLE. TO CORRECT THE ISSUE THE VEHICLE BRAKES MUST BE APPLIED WITH FORCE TO SLOW THE VEHICLE BY 30MPH OR MORE WITHIN SECONDS, RISKING A REAR END COLLISION AT HIGHWAY SPEED.

WE HAVE HAD THE VEHICLE INTO DEALERSHIP 4 TIMES SINCE JANUARY 2019 FOR THEM TO FIX THIS ISSUE AND FCA/DEALERSHIP HAVE NO IDEA HOW TO REMEDY THIS ISSUE. AFTER THIS LAST INCIDENT ON 3/23/19 I DON'T WANT MY FAMILY OR MYSELF IN THIS JEEP. I WAS VERY SCARY ON 3/23/19 BEING BOUNCED INTO ANOTHER LANE WITH OTHER CARS RIGHT BEHIND AND ALONG SIDE OF ME.

THIS IS A STOCK JEEP NOT MODIFIED IN ANY WAY IN TERMS OF LARGER TIRES OR LIFTED SUSPENSION. THE PROBLEM SPONTANEOUSLY RESOLVED WHEN I SLOWED TO AROUND 40 MPH.

I WAS DRIVING AT 45 MILES PER HOUR WHEN MY SERVICE SHIFTER LIGHT WENT OFF. WITHIN 1 MINUTE I LOST MY POWER STEERING, AND BRAKES. MY CAR LOCKED INTO GEAR AND I LOST ALL ABILITY TO ACCELERATE. AT THAT POINT THE CAR STARTED DINGING AND PROMPTING EVERY CODE IN THE CAR. SWAY BAR ENGAGEMENT, REAR ELECTRONICS, FUEL LOW, TIRE PRESSURE, CHANGE OIL.....I CAN'T REMEMBER EVERY ONE. WHEN I GOT MY CAR TO STOP I COULD NOT GET THE CAR TO TURN OFF AND ALL OF THE FANS WERE BLOWING ON HIGH ALONG WITH THE MOTOR REEVING. I FINALLY GOT IT TO TURN OFF AND CALLED FOR A TOW. THE REPAIR SHOP TOLD ME THE CAR HAD THROWN OVER 100 CODES BUT NONE WERE ACTIVE. THEY KEPT MY JEEP FOR 10 DAYS AND TOLD ME THEY TOOK IT APART AND CHECKED EVERYTHING. I WAS TOLD BECAUSE NO ISSUES WERE CURRENT THEY COULD NOT FIND A PROBLEM THOUGH.I PICKED IT UP AND NOT 8 MILES DOWN THE ROAD THE SAME EXACT THING HAPPENED. THIS TIME HOWEVER I WAS IN HEAVY TRAFFIC WHERE I WAS ALMOST HIT AND BECAUSE I HAD NO BRAKES OR POWER STEERING I ALMOST HIT A PERSON WALKING. THANK GOD I WAS ABLE TO AVOID ALL OF THAT AND GET PULLED OVER TO SAFETY. IT IS CURRENTLY IN THE SHOP AGAIN.

AT FIRST WHEN TRAVELING AT HIGH SPEEDS IN COLD WEATHER THE STEERING WOULD BECOME EXTREMELY STIFF WHEN TURNING LEFT AND THEN IT WOULD LOOSEN UP QUICKLY CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO SWERVE VERY BADLY.

THIS WEEK WHEN GOING STRAIGHT OVER A BRIDGE ON THE HIGHWAY AT HIGH SPEEDS THE VEHICLE SHOOK VIOLENTLY (REFERRED TO AS DEATH WOBBLE) AND IT FELT LIKE THE TIRES WERE GOING TO FALL OFF.

JEEP VIOLENTLY SHAKES WHEN HITTING A ROAD IRREGULARITY AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. THE WHEEL WOBBLING STOPS ONLY WHEN SIGNIFICANTLY REDUCING SPEEDS. REDUCING AT THAT RATE OF SPEED CAN BE VERY DANGEROUS. I HAVE HAD 4 STEERING DAMPENERS REPLACED BY THE DEALER. HAVING OWNED MULTIPLE JEEPS, I NEVER EXPECTED TO EXPERIENCE DEATH WOBBLE ON A BRAND NEW STOCK VEHICLE. THE DEALER IS WAITING FOR A TRACK BAR AND NEW STABILIZER TO INSTALL. I AM NOT CONFIDENT IN THEIR ABILITY TO RESOLVE THIS ISSUE WITHOUT AFTERMARKET PARTS. THIS IS AN UNSAFE CONDITION THAT NEEDS IMMEDIATE ATTENTION. JEEP LOOKS AT THIS AS AN EXAGGERATED ISSUE AND HAVE BEEN QUOTED SAYING NO ONE HAS DIED FROM DEATH WOBBLE.

THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 15,000.

Mileage: 15,000

TAKATA RECALL I PURCHASED A 2018 JEEP SAHARA WITH 18 MILES ON IT AND HAVE BROUGHT IT TO THE SHOP 2 TIMES FOR DEATH WOBBLE. IT STILL HAS THE ISSUE AND ITS GETTING WORSE. THE JEEP DEALERSHIP SEEMS TO HAVE NO ANSWERS ON HOW TO FIX IT. THE LAST ISSUE MADE ME SLOW DOWN TO APPROXIMATELY 20MPH ON THE HIGHWAY NEARLY RESULTING IN A REAR ENDING ACCIDENT.

Mileage: 3,000

WOBBLE AFTER HITTING BUMP, EXPANSION JOINT, OR POT HOLE AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS.

Mileage: 9,000

I HAVE A 2018 JEEP WRANGLER JL AND SINCE I GOT THE TRUCK IN JULY 2018, THERE HAS BEEN AT LEAST 10 TIMES DURING WHICH I'M DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY GOING OVER 50 MILES PER HOUR WHERE I WILL HIT A BUMP IN THE ROAD AND THE STEERING WHEEL STARTS SHAKING VIOLENTLY. IT HAPPENED 2 TIMES TODAY DURING A 2 HOUR DRIVE. IT CAN LAST FOR OVER A MINUTE AND I NEED TO SLOW DOWN CONSIDERABLY TO GET IT TO STOP.

Mileage: 14,000

WHILE DRIVING AT APPROX 60-65MPH, IN 30 DEGREE WEATHER AND ON THE HIGHWAY, I WAS COMING AROUND A BEND AND THE STEERING LOCKED UP. I COULD NOT TURN MY STEERING WHEEL AND ALMOST COLLIDED WITH A TRACTOR TRAILER AND WAS HEADING STRAIGHT INTO THE MEDIAN. AFTER PULLING ON THE STEERING WHEEL AND SLOWING DOWN, THE STEERING THEN LOOSEND AND MY CAR SWERVED ALMOST HITTING THE CAR IN THE NEXT LANE OVER. THIS HAS HAPPENED ON 2 OTHER SEPARATE OCCASIONS BESIDES THE ONE JUST EXPLAINED. I'M VERY CONCERNED OVER THE SAFETY OF MY FAMILY. THE DEALERSHIP 'COULDN'T DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM' SO NO REPAIR WAS DONE. THIS IS A SERIOUS PROBLEM AND NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED ASAP.

Mileage: 12,000

CAR WAS BROUGHT IN 3 TIMES FOR DEATH WOBBLE. FIRST COULD NOT REPLICATE, THEN PART WAS REPLACED WITH A PART REMOVED FROM ANOTHER VEHICLE AS THE REQUIRED PART WAS ON NATIONWIDE BACK-ORDER. THAT PART WAS DEFECTIVE, CAR WENT BACK IN THE SHOP AND WAITED FOR NEW PART TO COME IN. ON 3/6/19 THE DEATH WOBBLE REOCCURRED WITH MY VEHICLE. IT DOES NOT STOP UNTIL YOU REDUCE YOUR SPEED - DIFFICULT TO DO IN HEAVY TRAFFIC. CURRENTLY HAVE NOT RECEIVED RESPONSE FROM DEALER TO BRING CAR BACK IN. THEY HAD FCA ENGINEER LOOK AT IT THE LAST TIME IT WAS IN AND WILL NOT SEND ME COPY OF THE DOCUMENTATION.

Mileage: 15,500

SINCE I BOUGHT MY JEEP WRANGLER JL, I HAVE BEEN EXPERIENCING THE DEATH WOBBLE, SO THE DEALERSHIP HAS CHANGED THE STEERING DAMPER FOR THREE TIMES, BUT I HAVE THE SAME ISSUE. THIS IS SO RIDICULOUS, AND THEY JUST SAID THAT I HAVE TO WAIT FOR OTHER TIME TO CHANGE IT WITH AN AFTERMARKET PIECE. DRIVING THIS CAR IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS, IT DOESN'T MATTER THE SPEED.

Mileage: 6,000

DEATH WOBBLE. THE STEERING SYSTEM IN THE VEHICLE WILL SHAKE VIOLENTLY AFTER HITTING A BUMP AT SPEEDS BETWEEN 40MPH AND 70MPH. THE SHAKING OF THE STEERING SYSTEM CONTINUES UNTIL THE VEHICLE IS SLOWED TO SPEEDS AROUND 40MPH AND BELOW, AT WHICH TIME THE SHAKING FADES UNTIL IT DISSIPATES COMPLETELY. THE SHAKING CANNOT ALWAYS BE ANTICIPATED AND CAN CAUSE PANIC WITH THE DRIVER, ESPECIALLY A DRIVER THAT HAS NEVER EXPERIENCED THE SHAKING BEFORE OR HAS NEVER DRIVEN THE VEHICLE BEFORE. THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN TAKEN TO THE DEALERSHIP TO ADDRESS THE ISSUE. THE STEERING DAMPER WAS REPLACED, BUT THE ISSUE WAS NOT RESOLVED. THE VEHICLE IS SCHEDULED TO GO BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR FURTHER INSPECTION OF THE ISSUE. AT THIS POINT, I WOULD DEEM THE VEHICLE UNSAFE TO DRIVE AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS.

Mileage: 2,900

AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS AFTER CROSSING AN UN-EVEN EXPANSION JOINT OR POTHOLE (STRAIGHT AND SWEEPING CURVES) THE FRONT END STARTS VIOLENTLY WOBBLING/SHAKING ALL THE WAY THROUGH TO THE STEERING WHEEL. MY 2018 WRANGLER JL 2DR HAS ONLY 1,030 MILES ON IT AND IS BONE STOCK OTHER THAN MOPAR SIDE STEPS. THIS HAPPENED 5 TIMES ON A 60 MILE DRIVE.

Mileage: 980

2 WEEKS AGO MY CHRYSLER ADVISED THE DEALERSHIP TO REPLACE THE STEERING DAMPER AFTER I EXPERIENCED VIOLENT VIBRATION IN THE WHEEL WHEN HITTING A BUMP ON THE HIGHWAY GOING 70MPH. YESTERDAY IT HAPPENED AGAIN AT ONLY 63MPH ON THE HIGHWAY. TAKING IT BACK AGAIN TO HAVE IT EVALUATED. THE VEHICLE ONLY HAS 4400 MILES ON IT.

Mileage: 4,400

TOO MUCH PLAY IN THE STEERING WHEEL, DEAD ZONE BETWEEN 11:00 AND 1:00. HAVE TO DRIVE WITH TWO HANDS ON THE WHEEL AT ALL TIMES TO KEEP IT IN A STRAIGHT LINE AND FEELS DANGEROUS AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. DEALERSHIP SAYS COLUMN FLASH IS UP TO DATE AND IS OPERATING AS DESIGNED. IF THAT INDEED IS THE CASE, THEN IT'S A BAD DESIGN. BEEN WAITING 8 MONTHS TO HEAR OF A FIX BUT NOTHING AS OF 3/07/2019.

Mileage: 1

I HAD THE JEEP IN FOR SERVICE, THE FRONT END WOBBLED VIOLENTLY AND IT IS HARD TO KEEP THE JEEP GOING STRAIGHT IN THE LANE WITH ONE HAND, TWO HANDS MUST BE USED! THE DEALERSHIP INSTALLED A NEW STABILIZER SHOCK TO TAKE CARE OF THE THE FRONT END WOBBLE WHICH SEEMS TO OF HELPED. WHEN GOING OVER BUMPS IN THE ROAD AT SPEEDS ABOVE 55 MILES AN HOUR I CAN STILL FEEL THE WOBBLE BUT ITS DAMPENED BY THE SHOCK. THE DEALERSHIP FLASHED THE ECM WITH AN UPDATE FOR THE STEERING, BUT IN MY OPINION IT DID NOT FIX THE PROBLEM. I SEE THIS SAME PROBLEM ON OTHER JEEPS ALL OVER THE INTERNET, AND HAVE ALSO DRIVEN OTHER 2018 JEEP WRANGLERS AT OTHER DEALERSHIPS AND THEY ALSO HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM. IT HAS TO BE SOMETHING WITH THE ELECTRIC ASSIST ON THE STEERING. I DON'T THINK THIS VEHICLE IS SAFE TO DRIVE! I HAVE A 19 YEAR DAUGHTER WHO CANT UNDERSTAND WHY I DONT LET HER DRIVE THE VEHICLE! TRY TO EXPLAIN THAT TO YOUR DAUGHTER WHO THINKS LOVES THE VEHICLE. I DO HAVE A REF# 11164329

Mileage: 1,500

WHEN DRIVING AT HIGHWAY SPEED, APPROX 70 MPH, AND HITTING A SMALL BUMP IN THE ROAD THE STEERING COLUMN AND INTERIOR OF THE CAR SHOOK VIOLENTLY. (DEATH WOBBLE). I HAD TO SLOW DOWN RATHER QUICKLY AND WAS ALMOST REAR ENDED BY THE CAR BEHIND ME,. THIS HAPPENED PRIOR AND WE BROUGHT IT BACK TO THE DEALER AND THEY THE REPLACED A PART, BUT THAT OBVIOUSLY THAT DID NOT FIX THE PROBLEM.THE FIRST TIME IT HAPPENED MY WIFE WAS DRIVING AND I TOLD HER IT'S JUST A JEEP AND THAT IS HOW THEY RIDE OVER BUMPS, BUT AFTER IT HAPPENED TO ME, I KNEW RIGHT AWAY THAT WAS WHAT SHE FELT THE FIRST TIME! WE BROUGHT THE CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID IT THIS IS NOT THE FIRST TIME SOMEONE HAS COMPLAINED ABOUT THIS. THE CAR IS AT THE DEALERSHIP AND WE ARE NOT SURE IT WILL EVER BE FIXED PROPERLY. SHE DOES NOT WANT TO DRIVE THE CAR AGAIN

Mileage: 12,000

A VERY EXTREME VIBRATION IN THE STEERING WHEEL OCCURS AT CERTAIN TIMES WHEN AN UNEVEN ROAD IS ENCOUNTERED AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS ALSO KNOWN AS DEATH WOBBLE. THE STEERING DAMPER WAS REPLACED AND DOES NOT SOLVE THIS ISSUE. THE VEHICLE MUST BE PULLED OVER TO THE EMERGENCY LANE AND A COMPLETE STOP MUST OCCUR BEFORE CONTINUING ON. UNTIL THIS PROSES HAS BEEN COMPLETED IT FEELS LIKE THE VEHICLE IS LOOSING CONTROL BY THE OPERATOR. THIS USUALLY OCCURS AT A SPEED OF 45 MILES AN HOUR ON UP.

Mileage: 7,000

THERE IS A LOT OF PLAY IN THE STEERING AT NORMAL SPEEDS. ALSO WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD MINOR BUMPS MAKE THE CAR JART IN EITHER DIRECTION AND WHEN LARGER BUMPS ARE HIT THE VEHICLES STEERING WHEEL SHAKES VIOLENTLY BACK AND FOURTH UNTIL I SLOW DOWN. MY WIFE STATED THAT SHE LOOKED IN HER REARVIEW MIRROR AS I WAS FOLLOWING HE AND SHE SAID IT LOOKED LIKE THE WHEELS WERE WOBBLING . THE CAR IS CURRENTLY IN THE SHOP WAITING TO BE REPAIRED. THEY SAID THE STEERING DAMPNER NEEDED REPLACE, BUT FROM WHAT I READ THAT WILL JUST MASK THE PROBLEM FOR NOW

Mileage: 15,000

MY JEEP SHAKES VIOLENTLY AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS WHEN I HIT A BUMP IN THE ROAD OR ANYTHING THAT IS UNEVEN. IT'S NOW AT THE DEALER FOR THE 4TH TIME THEY CAN'T FIGURE OUT WHAT'S WRONG. I WILL NOT DRIVE THIS TRUCK IT'S DANGEROUS.

HAPPENS ANYTIME AFTER HITTING BUMP, POTHOLE, BRIDGE JOINT; ON ANY TYPE OF ROAD AND SPEEDS FROM 40MPH TO 80MPH+. ISSUE DOES NOT RESOLVE ITS SELF UNTIL SLOWING THE VEHICLE DOWN TO VERY LOW SPEEDS, SOMETIMES AS LOW AS 30MPH. *NO* 'UPGRADES' OR ANY AFTERMARKET PARTS/WORK HAVE BEEN DONE TO THE JEEP.

Mileage: 5,000

THERE'S AN INCH OF STEERING PLAY, BOTH LEFT AND RIGHT. VEHICLE SWERVES AND IS DIFFICULT TO MAINTAIN A SINGLE LANE. CONSTANTLY HAVING TO CORRECT STEERING AND FEELS THAT IF I WERE TO OVER CORRECT IN AN EMERGENCY SITUATION I COULD EASILY LOSE CONTROL. FEELS LIKE I'M DRIVING IN HIGH WINDS. TOOK VEHICLE TO DEALERSHIP DAY AFTER IT WAS PURCHASED AND THEY ADJUSTED TO THE TOE AND REPROGRAMMED THE STEERING BOX. FEELS SLIGHTLY BETTER, BUT STILL HAVING SAME ISSUES MAINTAINING A LANE. DOESN'T MATTER IF I'M DRIVING AT A LOW OR HIGHER RATE OF SPEED. IS MOST NOTICEABLE WHILE DRIVING STRAIGHT, AND NOT AS NOTICEABLE WHILE TURNING, BUT STILL NOTICEABLE.

Mileage: 2,000

MY VEHICLE HAS UNDER 3000 MILES. I HAVE ALREADY TAKEN IT IN ONCE TO SEE A DEALER ABOUT THIS PROBLEM. WHEN GOING 50MPH OR HIGHER, AFTER I HIT A BUMP, MY STEER WHEEL WILL VIBRATE FOR A COUPLE OF SECONDS THEN STOP. TWICE NOW, AFTER HITTING A BUMP ON THE HIGHWAY, GOING OVER 50 MPH AND SURROUNDED BY TRAFFIC, THE STEERING WHEEL AND THE VEHICLE SHOOK VIOLENTLY. THE FIRST TIME IT LASTED ABOUT 10 SECONDS. I IMMEDIATELY TOOK TO DEALER AND THEIR PAPERWORK SAYS THAT THE STEERING DAMPENER WAS REPLACED. THE SECOND TIME JUST HAPPENED BUT LUCKILY IT ONLY LASTED 2 SECONDS. BOTH TIMES IT ONLY STOPPED SHAKING AFTER I SLOWED DOWN UNDER 50 MPH WHILE ON A BUSY HIGHWAY WHICH HAS CARS GOING 70 MPH. THIS A MAJOR SAFETY CONCERN. I'VE BEEN READING ON FORUMS AND I'M NOT THE ONLY DRIVER EXPERIENCING THIS. PLEASE MAKE THIS AWARE BEFORE SOMEONE GETS INJURED OR EVEN KILLED DUE TO THIS DEFECT.

Mileage: 2,850

JEEP ATTEMPTED A SECOND FIX OF THE DEATH WOBBLE PROBLEM. BY CHANGING OUT THE DAMPENERS AND EXTENDING SOME ROD. WELL IT DID HELP WITH THE DEATH WOBBLE, IF YOU HIT CERTAIN BUMPS JUST RIGHT WITH THE WHEEL TURN, IT STILL FEELS LIKE THERE'S A SLIGHT WOBBLE, THAT IS QUICKLY CORRECTED . AFTER THIS SECOND FIX. MY JEEP NO LONGER RIDES LIKE IT USED TO. I FIND MYSELF DRIFTING MORE EASILY AND THE STEERING NOT AS IT WAS BEFORE

Mileage: 13,000

I HAVE A JEEP WRANGLER UNLIMITED JL SPORT PURCHASED IN JUNE OF 2018. JUST RECENTLY EVERY TIME I GET ABOVE 60-65 MPH I GET A MASSIVE AMOUNT OF VIBRATION ALSO KNOWN AS 'DEATH WOBBLE' THIS IS HAPPENING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS AND CAN START EVEN IF I DONT HIT A BUMP OR POTHOLE. THE ONLY WAY TO GET OUT OF IT IS TO BRAKE HARD TO SLOW THE VEHICLE DOWN TO STOP IT. HAS POSSED A SAFETY HAZARD TO ME BECAUSE IT MAKES ME LOOSE CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE AS I CANT TURN OUT TO MOVE MY VEHICLE TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. THE DEATH WOBBLE IS CAUSED BY A COMBINATION OF ITEMS AND THIS SHOULD BE INVESTIGATED TO SEE WETHER A SAFETY NOTICE IS NEEDED.

Mileage: 15,000

Mileage: 6,000

AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS, 3 TIMES NOW THE STEERING WHEEL BEGINS TO SHAKE QUITE VIOLENTLY AND IMPEDED ONE'S ABILITY TO CONTROL THE CAR. THIS CONDITION APPEARS TO LAST UNTIL SPEED IS SIGNIFICANTLY REDUCED. THE JEEP WRANGLER 4 DOOR IS A 2018 WITH LESS THAN 6K MILES.

Mileage: 5,500

WHEN HITTING A POTHOLE, BRIDGE CONNECTION, OR OTHER LARGE BUMP AT SPEEDS OF 60+ MPH, THE STEERING WHEEL AND VEHICLE SHAKE VIOLENTLY. THIS REQUIRES A DRASTIC REDUCTION OF SPEED ON THE HIGHWAY, ALONG WITH TIGHT CONTROL OF THE STEERING WHEEL. THE SPEED REDUCTION IS POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS TO YOU AND OTHER VEHICLES NEAR YOU, LET ALONE THE VIOLENT SHAKING OF THE VEHICLE CAUSING POTENTIAL MECHANICAL PROBLEMS AND HUMAN ERROR. QUICK FIX AT JEEP DEALERSHIP REPLACING STABILIZER ACTS AS A BAND AID WITHOUT ANY ACTUAL SOLUTION TO THE ISSUE.

MY JEEP IS VERY DANGEROUS. THE JEEP WILL ONLY DRIVE OK IF YOU DRIVE ON A L NEWLY PAVED AND TOTALLY FLAT SURFACE. - WHEN YOU HIT A BUMP THERE IS AN EXTENDED VIBRATION, QUESTIONABLE HANDLING CHARACTERISTICS AND THE CAR LITERALLY JUMPS LANE AND MOVES SIDE TO SIDE WITHOUT HAVING ANY CONTROL OVER THE VEHICLE. IT HAPPENS EVERY TIME I DRIVE AND REPEATEDLY EACH TIME I DRIVE. THE JEEP ALSO HAS THE JEEP DEATH WOBBLE - THE CRAZY VIBRATION OF THE WHOLE CAR. BOTH ISSUES ARE WORSE AT HIGHER SPEEDS BUT WHEN IT HAPPENS YOU HAVE ABSOLUTELY NO CONTROL OVER THE CAR.. THE FRONT END VIBRATIONS TRANSITION INTO THE VEHICLE JUMPING LANES AND MOVEMENT THAT VARIES IN SEVERITY DUE TO SPEEDS. IT IS VERY SCARY AND VERY DANGEROUS. I HAVE BROUGHT THE CAR TO THE DEALER AND BOTH THE DEALERSHIP AND CHRYSLER'S SPECIAL REGIONAL TECH HAVE CONFIRMED THIS ISSUE. IT HAPPENS WHILE IN MOTION, ON ANY STREET, AT ANY SPEED, WHETHER DRIVING STRAIGHT OR TURNING - IT HAPPENS ALL THE TIME, AT ANY MOMENT WITH NO NOTICE. IT HAPPENS EVERY DAY YOU DRIVE THE CAR SO HARD BUT I PUT IN TODAYS DATE BC YOU ASKED FOR A DATE. IT DID HAPPEN TODAY FOR CHRYSLERS SPECIAL REGIONAL TECH TOO. IT ALSO HAPPENS AT ALL SPEEDS BUT IS WORSE AT HIGHER SPEEDS.

APPLIED BRAKES AND ADDITIONAL PRESSURE TO STEERING WHEEL AND WAS ABLE TO STEER VEHICLE ENOUGH TO AVOID ANY COLLISION, CAME TO A STOP AND STEERING SEEMED TO RETURN TO NORMAL. THIS HAPPENED AT ABOUT 9500 MILES. THIS HAPPENED 1/19 WAS DRIVING AT 55 MPH, AND HIT A DIP IN THE ROAD.

THIS HAS HAPPENED 3 TIMES IN 2 WEEKS. VEHICLE ONLY HAS 4K MILES ON IT. ANY SPEED OVER 65 CAUSES A LOOSENESS IN THE WHEEL ON UNEVEN PAVEMENT EVEN WHEN NOT VIBRATING. AFTER INSPECTION DEALER CONTACTED CHRYSLER AND THEY ADVISED REPLACING STEERING DAMPER. DEALER ADVISED TO DRIVE WITH CAUTION TILL THE PART CAME IN BUT I ASKED FOR A LOANER AS IT OBVIOUSY UNSAFE TO DRIVE.

Mileage: 4,000

LOSE STEERING. CAN TURN THE STEERING WHEEL CONSIDERABLY WITHOUT TURNING THE WHEELS. THIS MAKES TRYING TO DRIVE STRAIGHT EXHAUSTING AND DANGEROUS. MEETING OR PASSING LARGE RIGS IS ESPECIALLY DANGEROUS.MY DEALERSHIP DENYS AN ISSUE.

THE CAR TENDS TO WANDER AT HIGHWAY SPEED( 65MPH) . WHEN DRIVING AT HIGHWAY SPEED I AM CONSTANTLY ADJUSTING THE STEERING TO MAINTAIN LANE. MOST CARS DO THIS TO SOME DEGREE, BUT THIS VEHICLE DOES IT TO EXCESS. I CONSIDER THIS A SAFETY ISSUE.

LEASED THE JEEP WRANGLER JL IN OCTOBER 2019. WITHIN 3 WEEKS, THE "JEEP WOBBLE" OCCURRED ON THE HIGHWAY AT A SPEED OF 65 MPH. GOING OVER A BRIDGE, THE CAR HIT A CONNECTOR IN ROAD AND STARTED SHAKING VIOLENTLY. I WAS IN THE LEFT LANE AND HAD TO SLOW THE CAR DOWN IMMEDIATELY AS IT FELT OUT OF CONTROL, CAUSING CARS BEHIND ME TO BRAKE. I MOVED OVER A LANE AND THE CAR STOPPED SHAKING ONCE I SLOWED DOWN BELOW 50MPH. I BROUGHT THE CAR IN TO DEALERSHIP AND WAS TOLD IT'S NOT UNDER RECALL AND IT'S NOT A SAFETY ISSUE. I COMPLETELY DISAGREE THAT IT'S NOT A SAFETY ISSUE AS DODGING CARS ON THE HIGHWAY IN ORDER TO SLOW MY CAR DOWN WHILE IT SHAKES VIOLENTLY IS CLEARLY A SAFETY ISSUE FOR EVERYONE ON THE ROAD. THE DEALERSHIP INSTALLED A DAMPENER. I FINALLY GOT THE CAR BACK AFTER A WEEK AND WITHIN DAYS, THE SAME THING HAPPENED ON THE HIGHWAY. I BROUGHT THE CAR BACK IN TO THE DEALERSHIP WHERE I WAS TOLD THEY WERE CONTACTING CHRYSLER TO SEE IF THEY INSTALLED THE PART CORRECTLY. MY CAR WAS THERE FOR ANOTHER WEEK WHILE THEY WAITED FOR CHRYSLER TO RETURN THEIR PHONE CALL. THEY INSTALLED A STRONGER PART, I WAS TOLD AND THEN FINALLY HAD MY CAR BACK. WITHIN A COUPLE OF WEEKS, THE WOBBLE HAPPENED AGAIN. I DROPPED THE CAR BACK AT THE DEALERSHIP LAST WEEK ON 2/13 WHERE IT REMAINS. I HAVE NOT RECEIVED WORD ON WHAT IS BEING DONE AT THIS POINT. EXTREMELY FRUSTRATING AS WE ARE LEASING THIS CAR AND IT'S BEEN AT THE DEALERSHIP FOR ALMOST 4 WEEKS TOTAL, WHICH IS ONE MONTH PAYMENT WITHOUT ME EVEN DRIVING THE CAR. WE ARE LOOKING INTO LEMON LAW SINCE THIS PARTICULAR VEHICLE IS NOT PART OF ANY RECALL. AGAIN, THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY CONCERN FOR THE DRIVER AND PASSENGERS IN THE CAR. I HAVE 2 KIDS THAT TRAVEL WITH ME IN THAT JEEP AND AM NEVER COMFORTABLE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AS I NEVER KNOW WHEN THAT VIOLENT SHAKE WILL HAPPEN.

Mileage: 2,000

GOING APPROXIMATELY 70 MPH ON THE FREEWAY MY JEEP VERY SUDDENLY BEGAN TO SHAKE/VIBRATE VERY VIOLENTLY. EXTREMELY DIFFICULT TO MAINTAIN CONTROL.

THIS EVENING WHILE AT HIGHWAY SPEED (70MPH) I CROSSED O ER AN OVERPASS ON A SLIGHT TURN. JUST AFTER THE OVERPASS WAS A SLIGHT BUMP AND MY JL BEGAN SHAKING VIOLENTLY. I WAS CERTAIN THAT SOMETHING HAD BROKEN BASED UPON HOW VIOLENTLY IT AHOOK. I QUICKLY PULLED INTO THE EMERGENCY LANE AND SLOWED TO A STOP. I VISUALLY INSPECTED ALL TIRES AND SUSPENSION COMPONENTS AS BEST I COULD AND SAW NO OBVIOUS DAMAGE/ISSUE. I DECIDED TO ATTEMPT TO CONTINUE SLOWLY. I WAS ABLE TO MAKE IT TO MY DESTINATION AND BACK HOME WITHOUT FURTHER ISSUES BUT NEEDLESS TO SAY I AM VERY CONCERNED ABOUT THE SAFETY OF MY JL. I HAD A GREAT DEAL OF DIFFICULTY CONTROLLING THE VEHICLE DURING THIS EPISODE. I WILL BE CONTACTING MY JEEP DEALERSHIP FIRST THING IN THE MORNING. I LOVE MY JL BUT I AM VERY CONCERNED ABOUT ITS SAFETY.

WHEN TRAVELING ABOVE 70MPH AND HITTING A ROUGH PLACE ON THE ROAD THE STEERING SHAKES VIOLENTLY INCLUDING THE DASH UNTIL YOU SLOW DOWN TO 40MPH.

WE HAVE A VIDEO OF THIS HAPPENING

Mileage: 4,125

THE STEERING IS VERY LOOSE AND VEHICLE WANDERS ALL OVER. PROBLEM IS ESPECIALLY BAD AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS AND REQUIRES CONSTANT INPUT TO REMAIN STRAIGHT.

"DEATH WOBBLE" SECOND OCCURENCE...I WAS DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY I-10 AT APPROX 70MPH I RAN OVER A ROUGH PATCH IN THE PAVEMENT; SUDDENLY THE STEERING BEGAN VIOLENTLY WOBBLING, I LET OFF THE GAS, CHECKED TO SEE IT WAS CLEAR AND I CHANGED LANES AS I BEGAN TO SLOW DOWN TO ABOUT 40 MPH AS I ATTEMPTED TO REGAIN CONTROL OF THE STEERING. FINALLY THE WOBBLING STOPPED, AND I WAS ABLE TO CONTINUE MY DRIVING SPEED. THEN AFTER ABOUT 5 MIN HAD PASSED, AGAIN THE STEERING STARTED SHAKING VIOLENTLY AND IT WAS EVEN MORE DIFFICULT TO CONTROL. IT WAS VERY STIFF AND DIFFICULT TO STEER. IT WAS AT THAT POINT THAT MY HUSBAND WHO WAS WITH ME SAID THATS IT, WERE TAKING IT BACK TO THE DEALER, WHICH I DID, I TOOK IT BACK TO CRYSTAL CHRYSLER IN CATHEDRAL CITY WHERE WE PURCHASED IT ON 11-30-2018.

ON THE WAY TO THE DEALER, ON A STRAIGHT AWAY AT ABOUT 25 MPH GOT A VIOLENT SHAKING IN THE FRONT OF THE VEHICLE, COMMONLY KNOWN AS THE "DEATH WOBBLE". ARRIVE SAFELY TO THE DEALER KEEPING THE SPEED REAL SLOW AND THE STEERING TURNS TO A MINIMUM. INSPECTION BY THE DEALER REVELED THE FRONT TRACK BAR BRACKET HAD COMPLETELY DETACHED FROM THE FRAME ON THE WAY TO THE DEALER. AS SEEN IN THE UPLOADED PHOTO, IT IS QUITE OBVIOUS THAT THE BRACKET WAS IMPROPERLY WELDED TO THE FRAME. THIS IS EXACTLY THE SAME PROBLEM UNDER SAFETY RECALL UA5 / NHTSA 18V-675 FOR THE JL MODEL, BUT THIS JK MODEL OF THE SAME YEAR. *DT*JB

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2018 JEEP WRANGLER. WHILE DRIVING AT ANY SPEED OVER A BUMP IN THE ROAD, THE VEHICLE SHOOK VIOLENTLY WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO KELLY JEEP CHRYSLER DODGE RAM (978-683-8775, LOCATED AT 175 PELHAM ST, METHUEN, MA 01844) WHERE A SOFTWARE UPDATE WAS PERFORMED, BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN BACK TO THE SAME DEALER AND THE STEERING DAMPER WAS REPLACED, BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND REFERRED THE CONTACT BACK TO THE DEALER FOR FURTHER OBSERVATION. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 19,000.

DEATH WOBBLE. WHEN HITTING A BUMP AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS, THE STEERING WHEEL WILL SHAKE SIDE TO SIDE VIOLENTLY UNTIL THE JEEP HAS SLOWED TO AROUND 40-45 MPH. STEERING IS STILL POSSIBLE BUT VERY LIMITED. THIS HAPPENS WHEN GOING STRAIGHT OR DURING TURNS AT 55+ MPH. THIS STARTED WHEN THE VEHICLE HAD 3,800 MILES. I HAVE HAD THE JEEP INTO THE DEALER 3 TIMES. THE STEERING STABILIZER WAS REPLACED, THEN THE TIRES WERE BALANCED. NOW THEY ARE INVESTIGATING TIE ROD ENDS AND OTHER POSSIBLE CAUSES.

WHEN MY SON'S JEEP WRANGLER HITS A SMALL BUMP ON THE FREEWAY AT SPEEDS OVER 50 MILES AN HOUR, IT GOES INTO VIOLENT STEERING VIBRATION. THE FIRST OCCURRENCE WAS ON NOVEMBER 2ND, 2018 AND I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR REPAIR. THE ISSUE HAPPENED AGAIN ON JANUARY 12TH, 2019, AND CHRYSLER REPAIRED IT FOR THE SECOND TIME. THE ISSUE RECURRED FOR THE THIRD TIME ON FEBRUARY 9TH, 2019 AND THIS TIME, THE VIBRATION WAS EVEN MORE VIOLENT THAN THE FIRST 2 INSTANCES. THE FIRST OCCURRENCE HAPPENED WHEN THE CAR HAD APPROXIMATELY 10,000 MILES ON IT. IT NOW HAS 12,000 MILES ON IT. AS I LOST CONFIDENCE IN CHRYSLER BEING ABLE TO PERMANENTLY REPAIR THE VEHICLE, I AM REQUESTING ARBITRATION FOR CHRYSLER TO TAKE THE CAR BACK AND RELIEVE ME OF THE LEASE AS I DON'T WANT TO ENDANGER MY SON'S LIFE, ESPECIALLY THAT IT TOOK HIM A FRIGHTENING 5 TO 6 SECONDS TO REGAIN CONTROL OVER THE VEHICLE DURING THE LAST INSTANCE. HE WAS DRIVING 65 MILES AN HOUR AND THE VEHICLE VEERED ACROSS 3 LANES. HAD THERE BEEN OTHER CARS, MY SON WOULD HAVE BEEN IN A LIFE THREATENING ACCIDENT.

MY 2018 JEEP WRANGLER HAS A STEERING ISSUE THAT CAUSES THE STEERING WHEEL TO SHAKE AND VIBRATE WHEN HITTING ROAD IMPERFECTIONS AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. WAS PURCHASED NEW AND HAS BEEN BACK FOR REPAIRS THREE TIMES. THE STEERING DAMPENER WAS REPLACED AND THE PROBLEM STILL EXISTS. TASCA JEEP IN RI HAS HAD THE JEEP FOR A WEEK FOR THIS 3RD VISIT WITHOUT RESOLUTION. I KEEP GETTING TOLD THAT THE CHRYSLER ENGINEERS ARE NOT GETTING BACK TO THEM THRU THE " STAR" PROGRAM. WE BOUGHT THIS JEEP TO TOW BEHIND OUR RV AS WE ARE RETIRED AND HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO LEAVE FOR OUR RETIREMENT VENTURES AND DO NOT FEEL SAFE DRIVING OR TOWING THIS BRAND NEW JEEP.

ON COLD MORNINGS WHILE PARKED, THE BRAKE WILL NOT DEPRESS AND THE CAR WILL NOT START. AFTER MULTIPLE ATTEMPTS OR AFTER THE CAR WARMS UP, IT WILL START. THIS HAS HAPPENED ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS. ON CHRISTMAS MORNING AFTER FINALLY GETTING THE CAR TO START, THE STEERING WHEEL LOCKED UP WHILE I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY (65 MPH) ON A STRAIGHTAWAY. IT HAPPENED TWICE THAT DAY. I WAS TOLD UNTIL THEY CAN DUPLICATE IT, THEY CANNOT FIX IT. I DO NOT FEEL SAFE IN THIS VEHICLE.

Mileage: 19,000

I WAS DRIVING THE JEEP ON THE HIGHWAY GOING THE SPEED LIMIT OF 65 MPH AND WHEN CHANGING LANES AND HITTING A BUMPY PART OF THE HIGHWAY, THE JEEP BEGAN TO SHAKE VIGOROUSLY. I HAD TO SLOW DOWN TO 40 MPH AND PULL OFF THE SIDE OF THE HWY. AFTER THIS INCIDENT, ANYTIME DRIVING THE JEEP OVER 55 MPH AND HITTING A BUMP, THE JEEP WOULD SHAKE. I WOULD HAVE TO SLOW DOWN BELOW THE SPEED LIMIT FOR IT TO REGAIN CONTROL. THE JEEP WAS TAKEN INTO THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT AND THEY INSTALLED A NEW "STEERING STABILIZER". WHEN TRAVELING ON THE HIGHWAY AGAIN GOING 65 MPH, HITTING A POTHOLE, THE JEEP BEGAN TO SHAKE AGAIN. I WAS ABLE TO REGAIN CONTROL WHEN SLOWING DOWN UNDER THE SPEED LIMIT TO 50/55 MPH. THIS IS NOT ACCEPTABLE FOR A BRAND NEW CAR. I SHOULD BE ABLE TO GO THE SPEED LIMIT ON THE HIGHWAY, HIT A BUMP, AND NOT FEEL AS IF MY LIFE IS IN DANGER. THESE CARS NEED TO BE RECALLED BEFORE SOMEONE IS SERIOUSLY INJURED INCLUDING MYSELF AND MY PASSENGERS.

I CURRENTLY OWN A 2018 JEEP WRANGLER UNLIMITED JL MODEL. MY COMPLAINT IS REGARDING WHAT IS KNOWN AS DEATH WOBBLE. I AM A FORMER ASE MECHANIC. I HAD 10,000 THOUSAND MILES ON MY 18 JL THAT IS COMPLETELY STOCK. I WAS TRAVELING WEST BOUND ON STATE ROUTE 33 AT APPROXIMATELY 65 MPH WHEN HIT A EXPANSION JOINT THAT CAUSE A RAPID AND RATHER VIOLENT SHAKING IN THE STEERING WHEEL THAT SEVERALLY DIMINISHED MY ABILITY TO NOT ONLY STEER MY VEHICLE BUT ALSO MY BRAKING ABILITY. YOU HAVE TO GET YOUR VEHICLE SLOWED DOWN TO UNDER 30 MPH OR COME ALMOST TO A COMPLETE STOP ON THE FREEWAY. THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE WHEN YOU HAVE TO STOP IN THE MIDDLE OF THE FREEWAY. THE DEALERSHIP REPLACED THE STEERING STABILIZER PER FCA AS A SO CALLED FIX. BEING A ASE CERTIFIED MECHANIC FOR YEARS THIS HAS NEVER BEEN A FIX ONLY A COVER UP/ BAND-AID FIX TO COVER UP THE TRUE ISSUE. MY 2018 JEEP WRANGLER IS BACK AT THE DEALER AGAIN AFTER APPROXIMATELY 1000 MILES FOR THE SAME ISSUE. THAT'S EVEN AFTER FCA SO CALLED STEERING STABILIZER FIX. IF MY JEEP WAS LIFTED OR MODIFIED IN ANYWAY I CAN ACCEPT MY CHANGES COULD HAVE CAUSED THIS ISSUE. IT'S STOCK. THIS WILL MARK 6 WEEKS THE DEALER HAS HAD MY JEEP LOOKING TO TRY AND REPAIR THIS ISSUE. I CURRENTLY CAN NOT HAVE ANY FAITH IN MY JEEP TO TAKE IT ANYWHERE WITH OUT FEAR OF GETTING HIT OR HITTING SOMEONE ELSE DUE TO FCA NOT TAKING THIS ISSUE SERIOUSLY AND REPLACING STEERING COMPONENTS. FCA SAYS THIS ISSUE IS CAUSED MOSTLY BY MODIFIED OR ALTERED/ WORN FRONT ENDS. THE NEW 18 JL MODEL IS A COMPLETELY NEW FROM GROUND UP PER PRESIDENT OF FCA( MEANING THEY HAVE MODIFIED THE WHOLE STEERING/ SUSPENSION WITH THIS PROBLEM BUILT IN BY THEM). THEY NEED TO FIX THIS ASAP BEFORE DEATH WOBBLE LIVES UP TO ITS NAME! THIS HAS HAPPENED BEFORE THERE FIST ATTEMPT TO FIX IT ON NOVEMBER 15TH 2018 AND HAS HAPPENED AFTER FCA SAID FIX ON JANUARY 29TH 2019.

THE FRONT WHEELS OF THE VEHICLE OFTEN SHAKE VIOLENTLY AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS WHEN THE VEHICLE HITS A SMALL BUMP IN THE ROAD. OFTEN THE TRIGGERING EVENT COULD ALSO BE UNEVEN OR PATCHED SECTIONS OF FREEWAY. THE FRONT END SHAKING IS SO VIOLENT, CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE IS DIFFICULT. THE VEHICLE MUST BE SLOWED IMMEDIATELY BELOW 50MPH TO STOP THE SHAKING. THIS WILL HAPPEN AT LEAST ONCE, EVERY TIME I DRIVE ON A FREEWAY.

WHEN OUTSIDE AIR TEMPERATURE IS COLD, STEERING BECOMES DIFFICULT AT 50MPH PLUS. STEERING ALMOST LOCKS UP AND LETS YOU MOVE 15 TO 20 DEGREES FROM CENTER AND WILL NOT MOVE MORE UNLESS A LOT OF FORCE IS APPLIED TO OVERCOME, THUS WHEN THIS HAPPENS USUALLY YOU GO FLYING OFF TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2018 JEEP WRANGLER. SHORTLY AFTER OWNING THE VEHICLE, IT EXPERIENCED THE "DEATH WOBBLE". HEMET CHRYSLER DODGE JEEP RAM (240 CARRIAGE CIR, HEMET, CA 92545, (951) 225-4217)INDICATED THAT THIS WAS A NORMAL CONDITION AND TEST DROVE THE VEHICLE MORE THAN ONCE. THE VEHICLE WAS SUPPOSED TO BE REPAIRED PER NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 18V675000 (STRUCTURE), BUT THE DEALER COULD NOT LOCATE A FAILURE AND DECLINED THE REPAIR. THE CONTACT LATER RECEIVED ANOTHER NOTICE FOR THE SAME RECALL CAMPAIGN. THE DEALER INDICATED THAT THEY WERE WAITING FOR THE MANUFACTURER'S GUIDELINES TO SERVICE THE VEHICLE. THE CONTACT HAD BEEN WAITING FOR THE REPAIR FOR WEEKS. THE CONTACT WAS PROVIDED A LOANER VEHICLE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS NOT AVAILABLE. PARTS DISTRIBUTION DISCONNECT.

EXCESSIVE / SEVERE FRONT WHEEL SHAKE WHEN HITTING BUMPS, POT HOLES, ETC. FRONT WHEELS, ALONG WITH THE STEERING WHEEL WILL SHAKE SEVERELY WHEN HITTING BUMPS AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. VEHICLE CONTROL IS GREATLY IMPACTED. FRONT WHEELS AND STEERING WHEEL WILL NOT STOP SHAKING UNTIL VEHICLE IS NEARLY BROUGHT TO A COMPLETE STOP. ABILITY TO KEEP CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE AND STAY WITHIN YOUR LANE REQUIRES EXTREME/EXTENDED BRAKING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. VEHICLE HAS BEEN SERVICE BY AN AUTHORIZED JEEP SERVICE DEPARTMENT. JEEP RECOMMENDED PART(S) WERE REPLACED BUT THE PROBLEM STILL EXISTS.

I PURCHASED A 2018 JEEP WRANGLER (JL 4 DOOR SAHARA) IN AUGUST 2018. AT SPEEDS EXCEEDING 55 MPH THE JEEP SHAKES UNCONTROLLABLY MAKING HANDLING/STEERING CLOSE TO IMPOSSIBLE. I HAVE TO SLOW DOWN TO ABOUT 25 MPH TO GAIN CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE. THIS HAPPENS WHEN I HIT EVEN A SLIGHT BUMP IN THE ROAD. MY JEEP HAS ALREADY BEEN TO DEALERSHIP FOR A SIMILAR ISSUE (RECALL ON TRACK BAR FRAME BRACKET) AND NOTHING WAS FOUND. I HAVE A $48,000 VEHICLE THAT I CAN'T TAKE ON THE HIGHWAY. CURRENTLY LESS THAN 5000 MILES ON THE WRANGLER. VERY DANGEROUS!

WE ARE EXPERIENCING WHAT OTHERS HAVE REFERENCED AS THE DEATH VIBRATION. WHEN ON THE HIGHWAY GOING OVER 55MPH AND THE JEEP GOES OVER A BUMP THE STEERING WHEEL BEGINS TO SHAKE AND VIBRATE AND DOES THIS UNTIL YOU SLOW DOWN TO BELOW 30MPH WHICH IS VERY SCARY AND UNSAFE ON THE HIGHWAY. THE DAMPER HAS BEEN REPLACED 3 TIMES BUT ITS STILL DOING THE SAME THING. I HAVE VIDEO FROM MY JEEP BUT THERE ARE HUNDREDS OF VIDEOS ON THE INTERNET OF OTHER KEEPS THAT HAVE THE SAME ISSUE.

PURCHASED THE BRAND NEW 2018 JEEP WRANGLER SAHARA WITH 40 MILES ON NOVEMBER 30, 2018. CURRENTLY, THIS VEHICLE HAS 1,975 MILES. IN LATE DECEMBER 2018 HIT A BUMP ON A HIGHWAY DRIVING THE POSTED SPEED OF 70MPH AND THE VEHICLE VIBRATED A BIT AND HAD TO SLOW DOWN TO HANDLE THE VEHICLE. EACH WEEK AFTER DRIVING THE VEHICLE ON DAILY COMMUTE IN CITY CONDITIONS AT THE POSTED SPEED OF 25-30MPH, AFTER HITTING A BUMP IN THE PAVEMENT THE VEHICLE DOES NOT HANDLE WELL, AS IF I WOULD LOSE CONTROL. ON JANUARY 27, 2019 DRIVING ON A RAMP AT THE SPEED OF 45MPH UPON ENTERING THE INTERSTATE THE VEHICLE HIT A BUMP IN THE PAVEMENT, THE VEHICLE BEGINS AN UNCONTROLLABLE VIBRATION AND WAS SHAKING THE STEERING WHEEL, I HAD TO PULL OVER. AFTER RESEARCHING THIS ISSUE ONLINE WITH THE SAME ISSUE, I FEEL UNSAFE DRIVING MY ONLY VEHICLE. FOR A VEHICLE VALUED OVER $45,000, I NEED THIS ISSUE TO BE INVESTIGATED BEFORE SOMEONE IS SERIOUSLY INJURED. I DO NOT FEEL SAFE DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE AT THE POSTED SPEED. THE VEHICLE FEELS UNSTABLE WHILE DRIVING OVER ANY BUMP IN THE PAVEMENT AT 20MPH THE VEHICLE WOBBLES AND SWAYS.

AFTER SITTING OUTSIDE OVERNIGHT WITH AMBIENT TEMPERATURES UNDER 30 DEGREES. I WAS DRIVING THE JEEP ON THE HIGHWAY AND FOUND THAT ONCE I GOT ABOVE ABOUT 55 MPH THE STEERING WOULD LOCK UP. IF I JERKED IT, IT WOULD BIND AND THEN BREAK. THEN ONCE BACK AT CENTER IT WOULD START ALL OVER AGAIN.

Mileage: 7,200

WHILE DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY AT APPROXIMATELY 65-70 MPH I HIT A BUMP ON THE ROAD AND THE STEERING WHEEL BEGAN TO VIOLENTLY WOBBLE AND IT TOOK A MIN TO STOP, THE SECOND TIME MY HUSBAND AND I WERE AGAIN DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY BETWEEN 70-75 MPH AND AGAIN FOR NO APPARENT REASON THE STEERING WHEEL STARTED TO VIOLENTLY WOBBLE AND WAS HARD TO REGAIN CONTROL OF IT I FEARED I WOULD CAUSE A COLLISION ON THE FREEWAY, I HAD TO SLOW DOWN AND TRY TO GET THE STEERING UNDER CONTROL. BECAUSE MY HUSBAND HAD TO GO OUT OF TOWN, THE JEEP WAS PARKED BECAUSE OF UNSAFE VIOLENT WOBBLING OF THE STEERING WHEEL UNTIL WE WERE ABLE TO TAKE IT TO CRYSTAL CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP WHERE WE PURCHASED IT ON NOVEMBER 30, 2018. THE DEALERSHIP HAS HAD THE JEEP FOR A WEEK AND IS STILL UNABLE TO DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM. AT THIS POINT WE ARE DEATHLY AFRAID TO DRIVE IT AS WE HAVE NO FAITH IN THE VEHICLE'S SAFETY FOR MYSELF OR FOR OTHERS ON THE ROAD IN THE EVENT THAT I CANT CONTROL THE VIOLENT SHAKING OF THE STEERING WHEEL.

Mileage: 3,265

WITHIN THE FIRST WEEK OF RECEIVING VEHICLE, I EXPERIENCED A VIOLENT SHAKING OF THE STEERING WHEEL WHILE TRAVELING 60 MPH ON THE HIGHWAY, THAT ALMOST CAUSED ME TO RUN INTO THE VEHICLE NEXT TO ME. THIS OCCURRED SEVERAL TIMES THAT DAY. AFTER SEVERAL OCCURRENCES, I REALIZED IT SEEMED TO OCCUR WHEN HITTING A BUMP. CALLED SERVICE DEPARTMENT WHO REASSURED ME THIS WAS NOT A SAFETY ISSUE (???) AND THAT THEY WOULD REPLACE THE RECALLED TRACK BAR. SEVERAL WEEKS LATER, SAID TRACK BAR WAS REPLACED (THEY ARE ON BACKORDER). THE VEHICLE CONTINUES TO DEMONSTRATE THIS VIOLENT LOSS OF STEERING CONTROL AND AT MOST RECENT INSPECTION (AFTER BEING TOLD IT CAN'T STILL BE HAPPENING), I WAS TOLD THEY FOUND "SOME PLAY" IN THE DRAG LINK JOINT AT PITMAN ARM AND PART HAS BEEN ORDERED. THIS WEEKEND, THE VIOLENT SHAKING OCCURRED AND WOULD NOT STOP FOR WELL OVER 30 SECONDS, EVEN WHEN I TOOK MY FOOT OFF ACCELERATOR AND THEN HIT THE BRAKE (ON THE HIGHEAY, NEXT TO A SEMI). I JUST TOOK POSSESSION OF THIS VEHICLE ON NOVEMBER 29 AND IT ONLY HAD 5000 MILES (DEMO SOLD AS NEW). SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE ABOUT THIS. IT'S HAPPENING IN BRAND NEW, UNMODIFIED VEHICLES.

A SMALL BUMP CAUSES THE STEERING WHEEL AND FRONT END OF THE CAR TO VIOLENTLY SHAKE. IT HAPPENS AT VARYING SPEEDS, TAKING YOUR FOOT OFF THE ACCELERATOR OR TRYING TO BREAK DOES NOT GET IT TO STOP, YOU RIDE IT OUT.THE WHEELS ARE SHAKING ALONG WITH THE STEERING WHEEL. IN ADDITION, THE CLOCK DOESN'T KEEP TIME AND RADIO INTERMITTENTLY DROPS STATIONS, SCANS THROUGH ALL OF THE STATIONS OR PICKS UP STATIC. I HAVE A VIDEO OF NOT BEING ABLE TO CONTROL THE RADIO(ON OR OFF), UNABLE TO CHANGE THE VOLUME OR SHUT THE RADIO OFF. I WAS NOT ABLE TO USE TOUCH SCREEN OR THE CONTROLS ON THE STEERING WHEEL IN ORDER TO OPERATE THE RADIO. IT HAS BEEN BROUGHT IN FOR SERVICE ON FOR THE SHAKING 3 TIMES NOW, GOING ON 4. JEEP SAYS IT'S FIXED THE PROBLEM BY REPLACING THE STEERING STABILIZER/DAMPENER. JEEP KNOWS IT IS HAPPENING AND MENTIONED GETTING "JEEP ENGINEERING" INVOLVED AND HAVE BLACKED OUT INFORMATION ON PAPERWORK WE RECEIVED AFTER REPAIRS, CONCERNED WE WOULD SEE THE "CONTACT/ EMAIL ADDRESS". THE FIRST SERVICE VISIT THEY COULD NOT GET THE SHAKING TO HAPPEN AND "RESET THE STEERING TO FACTORY SETTINGS", "THAT IT WAS A LITTLE OFF." THE SECOND SERVICE APPOINTMENT THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT "COULDN'T GET IT TO HAPPEN". THEY HAD THE SALESPERSON I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE FROM TAKE THE CAR FOR A RIDE AND COMPARE IT TO HOW HIS JL DROVE. THEY ASKED IF A WORKER "COULD TAKE THE CAR HOME AND DRIVE IT A FEW DAYS". I AGREED.IT HAPPENED TO THE WORKER AND THEY REPLACED THE STEERING STABILIZER/DAMPENER THE FIRST TIME(ON THAT SECOND VISIT). THE THIRD SERVICE APPOINTMENT, THEY SAID THE "STEERING STABILIZER/DAMPENER WAS REPLACED WITH A FAULTY STABILIZER""THAT THERE WERE STILL FAULTY NEW ONES, THEY WERE GOING TO REPLACE IT. THE FOLLOWING DAY, ITS VIOLENTLY SHAKING. IT HAPPENS IN MOTION, HAVEN'T NOTICED IT WITH TURNING. I HAVE VIDEOS OF THE SHAKING HAPPENING TO THE STEERING AND THE ISSUES WITH THE RADIO.

I HAVE HAVE THE STEERING VIOLENTLY OSCILLATE / WOBBLE DOZENS OF TIMES SINCE EARLY DECEMBER 2018. THIS ALWAYS HAPPENS ON THE HIGHWAY ABOVE 50MPH AFTER GOING OVER A BUMP OR IMPERFECTION ON THE PAVEMENT. EVERY TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED, I HAVE TAKEN THE VEHICLE TO THE JEEP DEALER TO BE INSPECTED. ON DECEMBER 17TH 2018 BRANHAVEN JEEP REPLACED THE STEERING DAMPER. IT SEEM TO WORK FOR A WHILE AND IT CAME BACK IN JANUARY. I TOOK THE VEHICLE BACK TO BRANHAVEN JEEP AND THEY SAID THAT THEY HAD REPLACED THE STEERING DAMPER AGAIN WITH UN UPGRADE PART FROM JEEP. I DROVE THE VEHICLE FOR ABOUT 200 MILES OVER THE WEEKEND AND ON THE RETURN TRIP, THE ISSUE WAS BACK AND THIS TIME IT WAS WORSE THAN EVER. THIS IS NOW THE THIRD TIME THE VEHICLE IS IN THE SHOP TO DEAL WITH THE SAME STEERING WOBBLE COMPLAINT. I FEEL THE VEHICLE IS UNSAFE TO DRIVE AND MY GIRLFRIEND REFUSES TO DRIVE IT ANYMORE. THE LAST TIME I DROVE THE VEHICLE WAS JANUARY 21 2018 0N THE DAY I HAD THE WORST STEERING WOBBLE OR OSCILLATION I HAVE EVER EXPERIENCED. I DO NOT BELIVE JEEP / FCA HAS A SOLUTION AND WOBBLE EVENTS ARE NOT DUE TO WORN PARTS AS THIS IS A NEW VEHICLE THAT JUST CROSSED OVER 5000 MILES. MY JEEP IS TOTALLY STOCK AND HAS HAD NO MODIFICATIONS OF ANY KIND!

WHEN DRIVING ON ANY TYPE OF ROAD, THE JEEP WANDERS ALL OVER THE LANE AND TAKES CONSTANT STEERING WHEEL INPUT TO MAINTAIN THE VEHICLE IN ITS LANE. THE FASTER THE SPEED ABOVE 30, THE WORSE THE CONDITION IS. THERE SEEMS TO BE A LOT OF PLAY IN THE STEERING WHEEL AT NORMAL SPEEDS ALMOST LIKE IT IS NOT CONNECTED. IT IS VERY TIRING TO DRIVE ON THE EXPRESSWAY BECAUSE IT NEEDS CONSTANT COURSE CORRECTION. SEVERAL TIMES IT HAS WANDERED OFF OF A ROAD SHOULDER ON ITS OWN. WE HAVE HAD OVER 17 VEHICLES OVER THE YEARS AND THIS IS THE ONLY ONE THAT BEHAVES THIS WAY. AT TIMES IT FEELS VERY, VERY UNSAFE, SCARY AND TIRING TO DRIVE. JUST FEELS LIKE SOMETHING IS EXTREMELY WRONG WITH THE STEERING AND IT IS NOT TRUSTWORTHY AND MAY CAUSE AN ACCIDENT.

ALSO A SERVICE SHIFTER LIGHT AND THE STABILITY CONTROLL LIGHT COMES ON EVERY NOW AND THEN, NOW THE ISSUE IS THE SCREEN IS DISPLAYING AN ANTI THEFT SCREEN ASKING FOR A THEFT CODE AND JEEP WILL NOT TURN ON.

DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY THIS MORNING TO WORK, ENTERING A CURVE ON THE HIGHWAY I NEARLY LOST ALL ABILITY TO STEER MY JEEP AT 60MPH. I HAD TO TUG ON THE WHEEL WITH BOTH HANDS TO KEEP IT ON THE HIGHWAY. THE STEERING CAME BACK AFTER ABOUT 30 SECONDS ALMOST RESULTING IN AN OVER CORRECTION. THEN ABOUT 10 MINUTES LATER IT HAPPENED AGAIN THIS TIME I WAS ON A MUCH STRAIGHTER PIECE OF ROAD THANKFULLY. THE REST OF MY 30 MIN DRIVE TO WORK WAS UNEVENTFUL. I'VE CALLED TWO DEALERSHIPS AND BEEN IN TOUCH WITH THE JEEP WAVE PROGRAM REPRESENTATIVES. THEY ARE SAYING THEY CAN'T LOOK AT IT FOR DAYS. MY CAR IS UNSAFE TO DRIVE AT HIGHWAYS SPEEDS AND ITS UP TO ME TO JUST WAIT UNTIL THEY CAN LOOK AT IT.

EXPERIENCING 'DEATH WOBBLE' AT HIGH SPEEDS WHEN HITTING BUMP IN ROAD. JEEP SHAKES VIOLENTLY. ONE TIME I HAD TO COME TO A COMPLETE STOP. SEEMS AS IF SOMETHING IS LOOSE WITH THE STEERING OR SUSPENSION ISN'T UP TO PAR.

Mileage: 3,500

I AM EXPERIENCING "DEATH WOBBLE". I HAVE HAD 3 INSTANCES OF IT IN THE LAST WEEK. IT SHOOK SO BAD YESTERDAY IT CRACKED THE WINDSHIELD. IT STARTS WHEN HITTING A BUMP AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS AND WON'T STROP UNTIL YOU CAN SLOW DOWN TO AROUND 40 MPH. THIS IS VERY DIFFICULT IN HIGH CONGESTION TRAFFIC.

Mileage: 6,800

JEEP WRANGLER 2018 JL WITH 1010 MILES AND 5 WEEKS OLD. STEERING IS VERY LOOSE WHEN DRIVING AT ANY SPEED, BUT SAY AT 60, I CAN MOVE THE STEERING WHEEL AT LEAST 2 INCHES FROM RIGHT TO LEFT BEFORE THE STEERING RESPONDS. IT TAKES CONSTANT CORRECTIONS TO KEEP THE VEHICLE IN YOUR LANE. WE LIVE IN A MOUNTAINOUS AREA WITH NARROW WINDY ROADS AND MANY LARGE TRUCKS (LOGGING TRUCKS ETC). ITS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS TO DRIVE THESE ROADS WITH THE VEHICLE BECAUSE YOUR CONSTANTLY CORRECTING TO STAY IN YOUR LANE. I'VE HAD IT TO THE DEALER, THEY'VE ACKNOWLEDGED THE ISSUE, BUT THEIR TELLING ME THEY DROVE ANOTHER JEEP JUST LIKE MINE AND IT DOES THE SAME THING SO THEY DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO. THEY AND I ARE CONTACTING JEEP. AT THIS TIME I WON'T LET ME WIFE OR KIDS DRIVE THE VEHICLE, AND IT'S PRETTY MUCH PARKED IN THE GARAGE UNTIL THIS ISSUE IS RESOLVED.

Mileage: 1,010

I HAVE HAD STEERING/ WANDERING ISSUES WITH THIS WRANGLER SINCE I DROVE IT OFF THE LOT. IT'S IMPOSSIBLE TO DRIVE IN A STRAIGHT LINE AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. IT'S A CONSTANT BATTLE TO DRIVE.

Mileage: 7,800

WITH ABOUT 1100 MILES ON THIS BRAND NEW JEEP I HIT A BUMP ON THE HIGHWAY AT 65-70 MPH. THE JEEP STARTED TO SHAKE VIOLENTLY AND I HAD ALL I COULD DO TO HOLD ON TO THE STEERING WHEEL. IF YOU SLOW DOWN TO UNDER 40 MPH THE SHAKING STOPS. EVER SINCE ANYTIME I AM ON A HIGHWAY AT 60 MPH OR MORE EVEN A BRIDGE JOINT WILL CAUSE THE JEEP TO GO INTO IT'S SHAKE, RATTLE, AND ROLL ROUTINE. I CAN ALWAYS STOP IT BY IMMEDIATELY SLOWING DOWN BUT IN HEAVY BOSTON TRAFFIC THIS IS SIMPLY NOT A SAFE ALTERNATIVE. FOR A $40,000 VEHICLE THAT HAS HARDLY BEEN DRIVEN YET I THINK THIS IS A MANUFACTURING DEFECT THAT IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS. I HOPE YOU WILL TAKE IT SERIOUSLY AS THIS DEFECT HAS BEEN GOING ON IN JEEPS FOR YEARS AND IT HAS NOT BEEN ADDRESSED. IF YOU DON'T THINK IT'S A SAFETY ISSUE YOU TAKE IT ON RTE 128 AT RUSH HOUR AND GET BACK TO ME WHEN IT GIVES YOU A HEART ATTACK.

Mileage: 1,100

VIOLENT STEERING WOBBLE OCCURS AFTER TRAVELING OVER UNEVEN ROAD SURFACES AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS, MAKING THE VEHICLE EXTREMELY DIFFICULT TO CONTROL. VEHICLE IS A STOCK JL WRANGLER UNLIMITED SAHARA WITH LESS THAN 10,000 MILES. THE CONDITION HAS OCCURRED SINCE THE VEHICLE WAS NEW, AND A SIMPLE BUMP, BRIDGE JOINT OR POT HOLE CAN SET THE VEHICLE INTO A DEATH WOBBLE AT SPEEDS ABOVE 60 MPH.

Mileage: 10,400

IN COLD WEATHER THE STEERING LOCKS WHILE DRIVING. I AM ABLE TO TURN THE STEERING WHEEL ABOUT 1/2 AN INCH AND THAT IS IT. THE ISSUE LASTED FOR 6 MILES WHILE I WAS IN TRAVELING IN MONTANA. I WAS DRIVING BELOW 25 MPH ON PAVED AND GRAVEL ROADS. THE TEMPERATURE WAS BELOW 35 DEGREES. I LOVE IN CALIFORNIA AND THE WEATHER HAVE NOT BEEN THAT COLD SO I HASN'T OCCURRED SINCE THEN. UNFORTUNATELY I DO NOT HAVE A VIDEO, I WAS TOO CONCENTRATED ON NOT CRASHING.

Mileage: 17,000

WHILE DRIVING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS THE VEHICLE DRIFTS ALL OVER THE LANE REQUIRING CONSTANT CORRECTING TO KEEP VEHICLE IN LANE. THE STEERING HAS A VERY LOOSE FEEL WHICH COULD CAUSE DRIVER TO LOSE CONTROL AND CRASH.

Mileage: 31

RIGHT AROUND 7000 MILES, I BEGAN EXPERIENCING DEATH WOBBLE AT VARIOUS SPEEDS. THE DEATH WOBBLE IS INITIATED WHEN SPEEDS ARE GREATER THAN 35MPH AND THE WRANGLER HITS AN IMPERFECTION (BUMP, SEWER CAP, HIGHWAY BRIDGE EXPANSION GAP, POTHOLE, ETC). THE WRANGLER'S STEERING WHEEL BEGINS SHAKING/OSCILLATING VIOLENTLY BACK AND FORTH AND DOES NOT STOP UNTIL THE VEHICLE SPEED IS BROUGHT DOWN TO A STOP. THIS IS NO FUN WHEN IT HAPPENS TO YOU AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. I HAVE REACHED OUT TO FCA BUT THEY TOLD ME THIS IS NORMAL FOR A FIXED-AXLE/SOLID-AXLE VEHICLE. THIS IS NOT NORMAL, IT IS ACTUALLY QUITE DANGEROUS. I AM AFRAID TO DRIVE MY VEHICLE.

Mileage: 7,100

WHEN DRIVING AT SPEEDS OVER 50+ MPH AND HITTING A BUMP IN THE ROAD, THE STEERING WHEEL WILL SHAKE VIOLENTLY UNTIL SPEED IS REDUCED TO BELOW 40 MPH. THE DEALER HAS SERVICED IT TWICE TRYING TO ADD A DAMPENER HOWEVER THIS DOES NOT FIX THE PROBLEM. DEALER NOW SAYS THE PROBLEM MOST LIKELY CAN'T BE FIXED.

Mileage: 2,000

WHILE DRIVING ON A HIGHWAY, CONSTRUCTION ZONE ON A SPEED BELOW 55, SUDDENLY THE STEERING STARTED TO WOBBLE. STEERING TOOK A 45 DEGREE TO THE RIGHT AND WAS ABOUT TO HIT A CAR NEXT BUT GAINED CONTROL BACK BY HOLDING THE STEERING TIGHT AND STEERING TO LEFT, LOST CONTROL FO THE VEHICLE FOR ALMOST 30 SECS AND REDUCED SPEED TO 20 MPH TURNING ON THE EMERGENCY BLINKER (THIS WAS ON A FREEWAY). AWAITING TO SCHEDULE A SERVICE APPOINTMENT WITH THE DEALER.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2018 JEEP WRANGLER. WHILE DRIVING 55 MPH OR MORE, THE STEERING SEIZED. WHEN DRIVING LESS THAN 55 MPH, THE VEHICLE OPERATED NORMALLY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO SCRANTON DODGE CHRYSLER JEEP RAM (LOCATED AT 1146 WYOMING AVE, SCRANTON, PA 18509, (570) 344-1261) TO BE DIAGNOSED, BUT THE MECHANIC WAS UNABLE TO RETRIEVE A FAULT CODE OR DUPLICATE THE FAILURE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FAILURE WAS INTERMITTENT AND SEEMED TO OCCUR DURING COLDER TEMPERATURES. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 17,000. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

LOOSE STEERING, WANDERING ON THE ROAD AND DIFFICULTY STAYING IN A STRAIGHT LINE WHEN ON UNEVEN ROADWAYS. WHEN GOING OVER BUMPS THE VEHICLE PULLS TO ONE SIDE OR THE OTHER AND WHEN YOU TRY TO CORRECT IT THE STEERING OVER-CORRECTS AND YOU GET INTO A BACK AND FORTH WOBBLE. AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS.

DRIVING ON THE 355 TOLLWAY DRIVING 76 MPH, I WENT OVER A BRIDGE THAT HAD A SLOPE (BUMP) AND THE JEEP STARTED SHAKING VIOLENTLY. THE STEERING WHEEL WAS UNCONTROLLABLE. BEING IN THE MIDDLE LANE I HAD MANY "NEAR MISSES" OF OTHER CARS POTENTIALLY HITTING ME. I LET OFF THE GAS PEDDLE AND HAD TO PULL OVER BEFORE THE SHAKING STOPPED. BEING THE FAMILY CAR, I AM NO LONGER DRIVING IN FEAR OF AN ACCIDENT MAY OCCUR. I CONTACTED THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT BUT AM HESITANT TO DRIVE THE JEEP THERE.

Mileage: 9,500

WHEN DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY, OR AT SPEEDS ABOVE 60 MPH, IF THERE IS A CHANGE IN THE ROAD, SUCH AS A POT HOLE, A DIP IN THE ROAD OR AN OVERPASS TRANSITION, THE STEERING WHEEL SHAKES VIOLENTLY UNTIL THE VEHICLE COMES TO A COMPLETE STOP OR UNDER 50 MPH. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN IN TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR REPAIR AND PICKED BACK UP THE 27TH OR DECEMBER. THE SHAKING STEERING WHEEL STARTED BACK UP AGAIN 1/10/19. THE VEHICLE IS CURRENTLY WAITING TO BE DROPPED OFF AT THE DEALERSHIP IN TWO WEEKS WHEN A LOANER WILL BE AVAILABLE.

Mileage: 100

*UPDATE* BEEN TO THE JEEP DEALERSHIP 4 TIMES AND GOING BACK FOR A 5TH FOR THE "DEATH WOBBLE" AND "WANDERING STEERING". THEY'VE TRIED TO FIX THE WOBBLE, BY REPLACING THE STABILIZER/DAMPER WITH AN AFTER-MARKET, WHICH THEY COMPLETED, BUT PROBLEM STILL EXISTS. SIDENOTE* I OPENED UP A CASE W/ FCA AND THEY ARE TELLING ME THIS SHOULD HAVE NEVER BEEN DONE BUT MAY HAVE BEEN DONE BECAUSE THE OEM NEW MODEL STABILIZER WAS ON BACK-ORDER. REPLACED THE AFTER-MARKET STABILIZER/DAMPER AND PUT ON ANOTHER OEM AND YET, THE ISSUE STILL EXISTS (DEATH-WOBBLE). "STEERING WANDERING" HAS NEVER BEEN FIXED. I'VE GOT ANOTHER APPT. AT ANOTHER JEEP DEALERSHIP ON 1/14/19. WILL UPDATE AFTER MY APPT. TO SEE IF THERE'S AN IMPROVEMENT.

WHEN I CRANK UP MY JEEP START BACKING OUT OF MY DRIVEWAY AND MAKE THE TURN TO GET ON TO THE ROADWAY MY STEERING WHEEL LOCKS UP AS I AMD DRIVING FOWARD ALMOST CAUSING ME TO HAVE AN ACCIDENT. THEN ABOUT 1/2 MILE DOWN THE ROAD I CAME TO A ROUNDABOUT, IT WAS ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE FOR MENTO ENTER AND EXIT THE ROUNDABOUT, AND FOR A SECOND TIME IN LESS THAN ONE MILE THE LOCKING UP OF MY STEERING WHEEL COULD HAVE CAUSED ME TO WRECK AND KILL MYSELF OR SOMEONE ELSE. THIS HAS HAPPENED TO ME 4 DIFFERENT TIMES WITHIN THE 7,000 MILES MY JEEP HAS ON IT, SOMTHING NEEDS TO BE DONE BEFORE A LIFE IS LOST TO THIS DEFECT.

WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY, WHEN THE JEEP HITS A SLIGHT BUMP OR BRIDGE EXPANSION JOINT THE STEERING WHEEL AND FRONT END WOBBLE EXCESSIVELY. THIS HAS OCCURRED ON FIVE OCCASIONS. THE VEHICLE WAS TRAVELING AT APPROXIMATELY 60 MPH. ON TWO OF THE OCCASIONS I NEEDED TO SLOW DOWN TO 40 MPH FOR THE WOBBLE TO STOP. THIS IS AN 2018 JEEP WRANGLER WITH NO MODIFICATIONS. THE FIRST TIME THIS OCCURRED THE JEEP HAD AROUND 1500 MILES ON IT. IT CURRENTLY HAS LESS THAN 3000 MILES ON IT. THE DEALERSHIP REPLACED THE STEERING DAMPER. I HAVE READ OTHER REPORTS THAT THIS DOES NOT FIX THE PROBLEM, IT ONLY MASKS THE TRUE PROBLEM. I HAVE NOT HAD THE JEEP ON THE HIGHWAY SINCE THE PART HAS BEEN REPLACED. THE OTHER ISSUE I HAVE FOUND WITH THE JEEP IS A SLIGHT SHAKING IN THE STEERING WHEEL AT SPEEDS AROUND 70 MPH. YOU DO NOT NEED TO HIT A BUMP FOR THIS TO OCCUR. THERE ARE NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS REGARDING OTHER OWNERS WITH SIMILAR PROBLEMS. PLEASE FIND A PERMANENT SOLUTION.

Mileage: 1,500

LOOSE STEERING, DEAD SPOT IN STEERING WHEEL, DRIFTING, EXCESSIVE STEERING WHEEL CORRECTIONS TO KEEP VEHICLE IN THE LANE, SOMETIMES OUTSIDE TEMPERATURE CHANGES STEERING CHARACTERISTICS, I FEEL THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE AS THESE PROBLEMS ALMOST CAUSED ME AN ACCIDENT DRIVING AT HIGHWAY SPEED'S AND AS A RESULT OF VEHICLE WONDERING I WAS PULLED OVER BY POLICE OFFICER FOR A VEHICLE WONDERING, I'VE OWNED A LOT OF JEEPS NEVER HAD THIS TYPE OF PROBLEM, I FEEL THIS COULD BE DANGEROUS FOR CERTAIN DRIVERS, IT HAPPENS MOST ON PERFECTLY SMOOTH PAVEMENT IN A STRAIGHT LINE, IN ROUGH ROADS IT SEEMS TO BE OK WINDEE ROADS IS OK ONLY IN A STRAIGHT LINE AT HIGHWAY SPEED'S YOU CANNOT KEEP THE VEHICLE IN THE LANE.

WHEN YOU HIT A BUMP IN THE ROAD DRIVING 60 MPH OR HIGHER YOU LOSE CONTROL OF STEERING. THE STEERING WHEEL SHAKES UNCONTROLLABLY

THIS VEHICLE HAS "DEATH WOBBLE" AS IT HAS BEEN CALLED. WHEN DRIVING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS AND HITTING A BUMP, BRIDGE JOINT, OR IMPERFECTION IN THE ROAD, THE FRONT END VIOLENTLY SHAKES. IF LOOSEN GRIP ON WHEEL IT GETS WORSE. IT WILL CONTINUE FOR MILES SHAKING THE VEHICLE EXCESSIVELY. ONLY WAY TO STOP THE SHAKING IS TO SLOW TO ABOUT 50 MPH. STARTED AT ABOUT 12, 400 MILES. TOOK TO SHOP AND THEIR GUY CALLED IT DEATH WOBBLE.THE MORE YOU DRIVE THE WORSE IT GETS, AND IN NOV ABOUT 14TH OR SO THEY HAD ME COME IN AND PUT A AFTERMARKET HD STEERING STABILIZER ON IT.IT WORKED FOR ABOUT 1500 MILES THEN THE WOBBLE RETURNED.I REPORTED IT AND ON THE 17TH DEC THEY HAD ME COME IN AND PUT FACTORY STABILIZER BAR ON AND TOED IN MY FRONT ALIGNMENT. THAT WORKED FOR TWO DAYS. WOBBLE CAME BACK AND I REPORTED IT. THE MORE I DRIVE THE WORSE IT GETS. I WENT TO SHOP ON 31 DEC TO SEE WHAT WE ARE DOING. THEY SAID THEY WOULD GET BACK TO ME. PROBLEM IS NOT STABILIZERS AND TOE ALIGNMENT. GEOMETRIC AND SOMETHING IS WEARING OUT CAUSING ALL THIS.THE EFFECTIVENESS OF STABILIZERS ARE LASTING LESS EACH TIME. BAND AID FOR THE BIGGER ISSUE.I HAVE OWNED 18 JEEPS AND HAVE 4 CURRENTLY, ALL WRANGLER/TJ/CJ. NONE HAVE DONE THIS OR DO THIS.MODIFIED OR NOT. AND THIS NEW 2018 JL IS STOCK.

IF THE CAR WAS GOING OVER 60 AND HIT A BUMP, THE STEERING WHEEL WOULD SHAKE UNCONTROLLABLY ALSO CAUSING THE TIRES AND THE WHOLE CAR TO BE UNCONTROLLABLE. WOULD HAVE TO BRAKE AND TRY TO GET IT BACK IN CONTROL. HAPPENED 6 TIMES SINCE I PURCHASED THE CAR IN SEPTEMBER THE LASDT TIME IT HAPPENED IT SCARED ME BECAUSE IT TOOK A LITTLE WHILE TO GET CONTROL OF THE CAR. I TOOK IT TO NAPLETON JEEP AND AS I WAS EXPLAINING THE SITUATION SHE STOPPED AND SAID IT WAS A SAFETY ISSUE MEANING I NEEDED TO CLEAN OUT THE CAR AND WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO DRIVE IT. SHE SAID THEY HAD A JEEP THERE FOR OVER 25 DAYS AND SHE DID NOT KNOW WHEN I WOULD BE GETTING IT BACK. IT WAS EXPLAINED TO ME IT IS A STEERING WHEEL DAMPER. OVER RATED SHOCK. I HAVE CALLED NUMEROUS TIMES BOTH THE DEALER AND JEEP. THEY HAVE GIVEN ME 3 DIFFERENT DATES AS TO WHEN THE PART WILL BE IN. NONE OF THOSE HAVE COME TO FORWISHEN. SOMEONE WAS GOING TO CALL ME AND NO ONE EVER DOES.

DURING HIGHWAY DRIVING, BETWEEN 70-75 MPH, WHEN I HIT A DEFECT IN THE ROAD, THE CAR WILL BEGIN TO SHAKE VIOLENTLY. SOMETIMES IT STOPS WHEN I DECELERATE, BUT OTHER TIMES, I HAVE TO PULL OFF ON TO THE SHOULDER. MY JEEP WAS LEASED IN AUGUST 2018. I FIRST NOTICED THE SHAKING IN NOVEMBER. I HAVE ALERTED MY DEALERSHIP'S SERVICE DEPARTMENT.

AT EXPRESSWAY SPEEDS 55 - 70 MPH, WHEN THE VEHICLE HITS A SMALL BUMP OR TRANSITIONS THE PAVEMENT LIKE ON AN OVERPASS, VEHICLE WOBBLES AND STEERING WHEEL SHACKS. JEEP HAS 5000 MILES AND IS STOCK. THIS WAS OUR FIRST TRIP WHERE WE DROVE OVER 50MPH.

Mileage: 5,000

STEERING I LOOSE AND VEHICLE WANDERS CONSTANTLY. ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS ALMOST RESULTING IN ACCIDENTS. I CURRENTLY HAVE 2200 MILES ON THE VEHICLE AND THIS PROBLEM HAS OCCURRED SINCE DAY ONE. I HAVE AN APPOINTMENT TO HAVE JEEP DEALER CHECK OUT BUT WANT TO DOCUMENT THIS PROBLEM IN CASE I HAVE AN ACCIDENT PRIOR TO THE DEALER VISIT.

ON THREE SEPARATE OCCASIONS I HAVE EXPERIENCED WHAT IS KNOWN AS THE "DEATH WOBBLE" WHERE THE JEEP FEELS LIKE IT IS OFF BALANCE AND SHIFTING FROM SIDE TO SIDE; ALMOST LIKE YOU ARE SLIDING ON ICE. THIS HAPPENS AT A RATE OF SPEED OF 45 MPH OR LESS. MY JEEP HAS 5,400 MILES ON IT AND HAS NEVER BEEN MODIFIED.

Mileage: 3,255

ON 1/2/2019 I WAS DRIVING TO WORK IN THE MORNING. THE FRONT END STARTED WOBBLING RAPIDLY AFTER HITTING A POTHOLE ON THE HIGHWAY. MY SPEED WAS APPROXIMATELY 70 M.P.H. I TOOK MY FOOT OFF THE ACCELERATOR AND SLOWLY BRAKED. THE WOBBLE DID NOT STOP UNTIL I WAS AROUND 55 M.P.H. I WAS NOT ABLE TO GET OUT OF THE CENTER LANE BECAUSE TRAFFIC WAS HEAVY AND RUNNING PAST ME IN BOTH LANES. THIS IS THE SECOND TIME THIS OCCURRED. THE FIRST TIME I JUST THOUGHT IS WAS A FLUKE BECAUSE I HIT TWO POTHOLES IN A ROW. THAT HAPPENED ABOUT ONE MONTH AGO. I AM MAKING AN APPOINTMENT WITH MY DEALER FOR A SERVICE INSPECTION. I HAVE FELT SMALL WOBBLES SINCE I GOT THE VEHICLE. THESE TWO WERE SUSTAINED AND ONLY STOPPED AFTER SLOWING TO AROUND 55 MPH.

Mileage: 7,545

COMPLETELY STOCK JEEP JL SAFARI WITH 1469 MILES HAS SEVERE FRONT END SHAKING AT SPEEDS BETWEEN 70-75 WHEN HITTING OVERPASS HIGHWAY JOINTS OR DRAIN JOINTS. I HAVE NOT REPLICATED THIS AT LOWER SPEEDS. IT STOPS WHEN YOU SLOW DOWN WHICH COULD BE A SAFETY HAZARD IN TRAFFIC AT SUCH SPEED.

Mileage: 1,469

NOW THAT IT'S EARLY WINTER AND HIGHWAYS ARE BECOMING ROUGH I'M EXPERIENCING WHAT IS REFERRED TO AS THE 'DEATH WOBBLE' ON MY NEW JL WRANGLER WITH 10,000 MILES AND NO ALTERATIONS. I TOOK A TRIP AND EXPERIENCED 4 SEPARATE EXTREME STEERING WOBBLES AT HIGHWAY SPEED WHERE I HAD TO SLOW DOWN BELOW 55 MPH TO GET IT TO STOP. ONE TIME I WAS PASSING A SEMI WITH 2 VEHICLES BEHIND ME THAT WERE NOT TO IMPRESSED WITH MY SLOWING DOWN IN THE PASSING LANE WHERE THEY ALMOST HIT ME FROM BEHIND. THE NEXT DAY I EXPERIENCED ANOTHER GETTING ON THE BYPASS IN TOWN ON THE ON RAMP FROM HITTING A CHUCK HOLE. I HAVE TO LIMIT MY SPEED TO UNDER 62 MPH TO REDUCE THE ISSUE. I'M PAYING WAY TOO MUCH FOR THIS VEHICLE TO HAVE THIS SCARY OF AN ISSUE. THE WOBBLE ISN'T AS SCARY AS SLOWING DOWN IN TRAFFIC RANDOMLY AT HIGHWAY SPEED. THIS IS A MAJOR FLAW.

Mileage: 10,000

EXPERIENCED DEATH WOBBLE TODAY. I WAS ON THE HIGHWAY GOING ABOUT 70-75 MPH AND MY STEERING WHEEL LOCKED AND STARTED VIOLENTLY VIBRATING. I FELT THE VIBRATION FROM UNDER THE SEATS AS WELL. THE ONLY TIME IT STOPPED WAS WHEN I SLOWED DOWN TO ABOUT 40 MPH. I COULDN'T MOVE THE STEERING WHEEL AT ALL.

Mileage: 4,300

AT SPEEDS AROUND 65 MPH THE FRONT STEERING STARTS SHAKING UNCONTROLLABLY AFTER HITTING A BUMP OR DRIVING OVER A BRIDGE WITH AN EXPANSION JOINT. I HAVE TO SLOW DOWN AND PULL OVER QUICKLY. EXTREMELY UNSAFE. THE DEALERSHIP AT FIRST WAS "SURPRISED" TO HEAR OF THE PROBLEM BUT FINALLY SAID IT WAS A KNOWN ISSUE. THEY REPLACED THE STABILIZER ROD. IT JUST HAPPENED AGAIN 1 WEEK AFTER THE FIX. ~6,000 MILES ON THE VEHICLE. IT SOUNDS LIKE THE KNOWN "DEATH WOBBLE" I AM NOW FINDING DESCRIBED BY A LOT OF OTHER PEOPLE. *DT CONSUMER STATED DEALERSHIP FIXED THE PROBLEM ON THE SECOND TRY.*JB

Mileage: 6,000

EXTREMELY LOOSE STEERING WHICH MAKES IT NEARLY IMPOSSIBLE TO CONTROL. AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS, IT'S ABSOLUTELY DANGEROUS. MY WIFE IS SO SCARED SHE WON'T EVEN DRIVE IT. THERE IS CONSTANT CORRECTING AND IF THE ROAD ISN'T PERFECTLY FLAT, YOU'LL HAVE TO HOLD THE STEERING WHEEL AT THE 10:00 OR 2:00 TO KEEP THE VEHICLE STRAIGHT. IMAGINE DOING THIS ON THE INTERSTATE AT 70MPH. I'M A 10YR PLUS WRANGLER OWNER AND I LOVE THEM, BUT I'M GETTING RID OF THIS THING IF JEEP DOESN'T ADDRESS IT.

Mileage: 100

MY BRAND NEW 2018 WRANGLER JL HAS THE "DEATH WOBBLE": WHEN TRAVELING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS AND I HIT A SHARP BUMP, THE FRONT END SHAKES UNCONTROLLABLY. I NEED TO TAKE MY FOOT OFF THE GAS, GET INTO THE BREAKDOWN LANE AND GO DOWN TO CLOSE TO ZERO MPH BEFORE THE SHAKING STOPS, THEN I NEED TO RE-MERGE INTO TRAFFIC. VERY SCARY (I USUALLY HAVE FAMILY IN CAR WITH ME) AND VERY DANGEROUS. IT'S IN THE SHOP NOW. PARTS ARE ON BACKORDER AND THEY WON'T RELEASE IT TO ME UNTIL ITS FIXED--I PRESUME B/C ITS TOO DANGEROUS. I EXPERIENCED THE DEATH WOBBLE 7 TIMES BETWEEN WHEN I DROVE IT OFF THE LOT AND WAS ABLE TO SECURE AN APPOINTMENT WITH THE DEALER. *DT*JB

Mileage: 3,000

AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS (60+ MPH), THE ENTIRE STEERING COLUMN AND JEEP SHAKES AFTER I PASS OVER A BRIDGE. THE ONLY WAY TO COME OUT OF THE SHAKE IS TO LOWER MY SPEED DOWN TO ABOUT 40 MPH WHICH IS UNSAFE WHEN IN HEAVY TRAFFIC. THE FIRST TIME IT HAPPENED (~10,000 MILES ON MY NEW JEEP) WITH INTENSITY, I WOULD HAVE LOST CONTROL OF MY VEHICLE IF I DID NOT HAVE BOTH HANDS ON THE WHEEL. I WAS TRULY SCARED. THE DEALERSHIP REPLACED MY STEERING WHEEL DAMPER WHICH HELPED FOR A LITTLE WHILE. ABOUT 2 MONTHS LATER (~13,000 MILES ON MY JEEP), IT HAPPENED AGAIN. THE VEHICLE IS CURRENTLY AT THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY ARE LOOKING IT OVER AGAIN.

Mileage: 10,000

STEERING AND CONTROL DRASTICALLY IMPAIRED WHEN HITTING A BUMP OVER 50 MPH. CAR AND STEERING WHEEL VIOLENTLY SHAKE AND CAUSES ME TO LOSE CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE. CAR IS STOCK WITH 0 MODIFICATIONS AND LESS THAT 700 MILES ON IT. WHOEVER SAYS THIS IS NOT A SAFETY CONCERN IS WRONG. I NEARLY CRASHED ON THE HIGHWAY GOING 55 MPH. FAMILY WILL NOT DRIVE WITH ME IN THE CAR ANYMORE DUE TO ISSUE. THIS IS A BRAND NEW CAR. HOW CAN THIS BE JUSTIFIED?

Mileage: 550

I'VE HAD THREE RUBICONS IN THE PAST AND THE STEERING ON MY NEW 2018 RUBICON JL UNLIMITED IS HORRIBLE. THE CAR WANDERS LEFT AND RIGHT, THERE IS MUCH TOO MUCH PLAY IN THE STEERING WHEEL. IT FEELS VERY UNSAFE TO DRIVE. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AND THEY ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THE CAR STEERING IS VERY UNSTABLE, YET THEY DON'T KNOW HOW TO FIX IT. IT HAPPENS CONSTANTLY. BUT THE FASTER YOU GO THE MORE UNSTABLE IT FEELS. IT HAS BEEN HAPPENING SINCE I PURCHASED IT.

SATURDAY 11/10 GOING 60 MPH ON HIGHWAY MY STEERING WHEEL BEGAN TO SHAKE VIOLENTLY ONLY TO CORRECT ONCE SLOWING DOWN TO 40 MPH ON HIGHWAY. TOOK VEHICLE TO DEALERSHIP ON MONDAY 11/12. STEERING DAMPENER WAS REPLACED AND VEHICLE WAS RETURNED TUESDAY 11/20. ON TUESDAY 12/18 WHILE GOING 65 MPH ON HIGHWAY THE STEERING WHEEEL ONCE AGAIN BEGAN TO SHAKE VIOLENTLY AND ONLY WHEN SLOWING DOWN IN MORNING TRAFFICS DID IT STOP. THE VEHICLE HAD 1,000 MILES SINCE IT WAS RETURNED IN NOVEMBER. I BEGAN MY LEASE ON THIS VEHICLE AT THE END OF SEPTEMBER AND IT HAS 3,000 MILES IN 3 MONTHS. IT IS ONCE AGAIN BACK IN SERVICE AND AWAITING ANOTHER STEERING DAMPENER AS A REPLACEMENT. JEEP CUSTOMER SERVICE AND DICK SCOTT IN PLYMOUTH HAVE BOTH BEEN EXTREMELY PLEASANT TO WORK WITH. HOWEVER, I HAVE SERIOUS CONCERNS THAT THIS MAY HAPPEN AGAIN EVEN ONCE THE VEHICLE IS RETURNED. ORIGINAL STEERING DAMPENER FAILED AT 2,000 MILES AND REPLACEMENT DAMPENER FROM NOV 2018 FAILED AT 1,000 MILES. THE TERM THAT IS OFTEN USED FOR THIS STEERING SHAKING IS THE DEATH WOBBLE AND I HAVE SERIOUS CONCERNS OF SOMETHING SIGNIVWNT HAPPENING. ALL STEERING SHAKING SHAVE OCCURRED ON THE HIGHWAY BETWEEN 60-65 MPH WHILE GOING STRAIGHT. NO MAJOR POTHOLES OR DISRUPTION TO THE ROAD WAS EXPERIENCED.

EXPERIENCED 5 INSTANCES OF IMPAIRED STEERING RESPONSE BETWEEN 11 K AND 12.5 K MILES. 1: 65 MPH EXITING FREEWAY, STEERING WHEEL WOULD NOT TURN. RELEASED WHEEL PRESSURE AND TURN COMPLETED. 2: NEGOTIATING AN S CURVE ON A LOCAL ROAD AT 55 MPH, WHEEL WOULD NOT TURN. RELEASED PRESSURE AND COMPLETED TURN. 3: TURNING RIGHT ONTO AN INTERSTATE FROM A STOP, STEERING WHEEL DID NOT WANT TO TURN BUT I FORCED IT WITH ADDITIONAL PRESSURE. 4 AND 5: FELT UNUSUAL RESISTANCE WHEN TURNING ON LOCAL STREETS AT LOW SPEED, 35 MPH OR LESS, BUT STEERING RESISTANCE WAS NOT AS SEVERE AS IN INSTANCES ABOVE. THE STEERING UP TO AROUND 11 K MILES WAS FINE. THE 5 INSTANCES ABOVE HAPPENED AT RANDOM INTERVALS AND SPEEDS, AND I HAVE BEEN UNABLE TO REPLICATE THE ISSUE ON PURPOSE. THE FIRST INSTANCE WAS PARTICULARLY DANGEROUS AS IF I HAD BEEN TRYING TO AVOID SOMETHING AT SPEED I WOULD LIKELY HAVE BEEN UNABLE TO DO SO BECAUSE I COVERED QUITE A DISTANCE BEFORE RECOVERING FROM SURPRISE AND TRYING TO TURN AGAIN. IN THE FIRST TWO INSTANCES I DO NOT KNOW IF I COULD HAVE FORCED THE STEERING WHEEL THRU THE TURNING RESISTANCE BY MAINTAINING PRESSURE UNTIL THE POWER STEERING SYSTEM WOKE UP.

Mileage: 11,000

WHILE DRIVING AT 55-75 MPH, WHEN HITTING A BUMP, THE WHEELS START BOUNCING ERRATICALLY AND THE STEERING WHEEL SHAKES VIOLENTLY. THE ONLY WAY TO GET IT TO STOP IS TO SLOW DOWN TO 40-50 MPH. OUT OF ALL THE CARS AND TRUCKS I'VE EVER DRIVEN, I'VE NEVER EXPERIENCED ANYTHING EVEN CLOSE TO THIS. EVERYONE IN THE CAR FREAKED OUT AND NOW NO-ONE IN MY FAMILY WILL DRIVE THE CAR. IT'S A NEW WRANGLER, STILL < 10,000 MILES AND NO MODIFICATIONS TO ANYTHING - COMPLETELY STOCK. THIS HAS HAPPENED ABOUT 20-25 TIMES. OUR RECENT 3 HOUR DRIVE ON THE EXPRESSWAY, IT HAPPENED 4 TIMES.

Mileage: 8,000

WHILE DRIVING AT HIGH RATES OF SPEED AND HIT A BUMP IN THE ROAD THE VEHICLE WILL START TO SHAKE UNCONTROLLABLY. AT THAT POINT I'M REQUIRED TO SLOW THE VEHICLE DOWN TO APPROXIMATELY 30 TO 40 MILES AN HOUR BEFORE IT WILL SUBSIDE. THIS IS HAPPENED TO ME NUMEROUS TIMES ON THE HIGHWAY. WE HAVE BROUGHT IT TO THE DEALER WHERE THEY SAID THEY COULDN'T DUPLICATE IT HAPPENING AND DISMISSED IT. HOWEVER ON MY WAY TO WORK TODAY WHICH IS AN HOUR DRIVE ONE WAY IT HAPPENED TO ME FOUR TIMES IN WHICH I HAD TRAFFIC BACKED UP BEHIND ME AND ANGRY BECAUSE I HAD TO SLOW DOWN ON A 3-LANE HIGHWAY IN THE CENTER OF TRAFFIC IN ORDER TO CONTROL THE VEHICLE. THIS IS ALMOST CAUSED ME TO GET INTO AN ACCIDENT BECAUSE I HAVE TRIED TO GET OFF THE ROAD AS QUICKLY AS POSSIBLE.

Mileage: 9,445

STEERING LOCKED UP AT ABOVE 60 MILES AN HOUR 3 TIMES AND HAS ALMOST CAUSED ME AN ACCIDENT ALL 3 TIMES. ONCE ALMOST HITTING THE SIDE OF THE FREEWAY AND 2 OTHER CARS WHEN IT LOCKED ON AN OVERPASS GOING LEFT. I COULDN'T STRAIGHTEN IT AND INVADED THE NEXT LANE. STEERING ALSO WONDERS MORE THAN USUAL COMPARED TO OTHER WRANGLERS I'VE DRIVEN. LATEST INCIDENT IS ON THE DATE SELECTED.

Mileage: 8,000

IN ONE INSTANCE, WHEN DRIVING AT SPEEDS ABOVE 60 MILES PER HOUR ON THE HIGHWAY, THE POWER STEERING EITHER FAILED OR SOMETHING WITHIN THE STEERING SYSTEM LOCKED UP. DECELERATING BELOW 40 MILES PER HOUR RELEASES THE STEERING AND YOU CAN STEER THE VEHICLE PROPERLY AGAIN. IN ANOTHER INSTANCE, DRIVING 45 MILES PER HOUR ON CITY STREETS, THE SAME LOCK UP OCCURRED. SLOWING DOWN TO BELOW 40 MILES PER HOUR ALLOWED THE JEEP TO BE CONTROLLED ONCE AGAIN. THIS HAPPENED ONCE ON 12/14/2018 (HIGHWAY) AND THEN AGAIN ON THE CITY STREET ON 12/15/2018. THANKFULLY IN BOTH INSTANCES I WAS ABLE TO SAFELY MANEUVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD TO AVOID COLLISION.

Mileage: 775

2018 JEEP WRANGLER JL UNLIMITED STEERING IS VERY SLOPPY AT ALL SPEEDS. STEERING IS VERY SOFT AND UNRESPONSIVE CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO WANDER FROM SIDE TO SIDE IN THE LANE WHILE DRIVING AT VARIOUS SPEEDS. STEERING DOES NOT HOLD POSITION, OR REMAIN CENTERED, VEHICLE DRIFTS IN THE LANE IN BOTH DIRECTIONS AT VARIOUS SPEEDS. ALMOST CONSTANT CORRECTION IS NEEDED TO KEEP VEHICLE MOVING IN A SOMEWHAT STRAIGHT LINE.

Mileage: 500

HIT A BUMP ON THE INTERSTATE CAUSING THE STEERING AND VEHICLE TO SHAKE UNCONTROLLABLY. THIS ONLY STOPPED WHEN SLOWING DOWN TO APPROX 45 MPH. THIS STARTED AT APPROX 60-65 MPH.

Mileage: 1,800

THERE WAS ALREADY A RECALL ON THE STEERING BOX. I HAD IT REPLACED WITH THE PART NUMBERS ENDING IN ( AD ). THAT WAS THE PRESCRIBED PICS FROM THE DEALER. HOWEVER THE DEATH WORBBLE, IS BACK. THE DEALERSHIP WAS NOTIFIED AND SAID THEY WOULD ORDER ANOTHER STEER BOX AND REPLACE THAT ONE. THE FIX FOR THIS. MAY NOT BE WORKING

Mileage: 11,000

WHILE DRIVING AT HWY SPEEDS AND HITTING A BUMP IN THE ROAD THE FRONT RIGHT OF THE JEEP START TO WOBBLE VIOLENTLY. THE ONLY WAY TO STOP IT IS TO SLOW DOWN TO 35-40 MPR. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS TO DO IN THE MIDDLE OF THE HWY. INITIALLY FELT LIKE A FLAT TIRE. I BROUGHT IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY CAN NOT REPLICATE THE WOBBLE AND CHECKED "EVERYTHING" THIS HAPPENED AT HIGH SPEEDS, 5 PEOPLE IN THE CAR AND DOG IN THE BAG. I AM DISAPPOINTED THAT THERE IS NOT A FIX FOR THIS ESPECIALLY IN A NEW MODEL JL. I PURCHASED BRAND NEW IN JUNE AND HAVE MADE NO MODIFICATION TO THE JEEP.IF SOMEONE WAS TO PANIC DURING THIS EVENT IT COULD BE LIFE THREATENING.

Mileage: 2,000

MY PROBLEM HAS BEEN HAPPENING SINCE MID-NOVEMBER. THE PROBLEMS IS THAT AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS IF I HIT A BRIDGE JOIST OR A SEAM IN THE HIGHWAY, THE STEERING WHEEL SHAKES VIOLENTLY BACK AND FORTH AND I HAVE TO SLOW DOWN. THE DEALER AND JEEP HAVE SAID IT WAS THE STEERING STABILIZER, BUT I'VE HAD TWO REPLACEMENTS AND THE SAME THING CONTINUES TO HAPPEN. IT IS ESPECIALLY BAD IF THE BUMP IS ON A CORNER AND ONE TIRE HITS IT BEFORE THE OTHER. I'VE ALMOST LOST CONTROL SEVERAL TIMES. THIS HAPPENS AT SPEEDS OF AROUND 45+ MPH. IT IS DEFINITELY A SCARY SITUATION.

Mileage: 29,000

THERE IS EXCESSIVE PLAY IN THE STEERING WHEEL CAUSING YOU TO CONSTANTLY MAKE CORRECTIONS JUST TO KEEP THE VEHICLE IN THE LANE. ITS VERY DIFFICULT TO MAINTAIN LANE POSITION IF YOU HIT A BUMP OR GROOVE IN PAVEMENT WHEN TRAVELING AT SPEEDS OVER 40MPH. THE DEALERSHIP STATES IT'S A "LIFTED JEEP THING" HOWEVER THE VEHICLE WAS BOUGHT NEW AS EQUIPPED AND OWNERS WITHOUT LIFTS REPORT THE SAME ISSUES. THE DIS-REGARD FOR SAFETY BY JEEP FCA IS DEEPLY CONCERNING AS THEY ARE NOT ASSISTING CURRENT OWNERS WITH A RESOLUTION (MY DEALERSHIP DENIES THE ISSUE COMPLETELY) AND THEY CONTINUE TO PUT MORE OF THESE DIFFICULT TO CONTROL VEHICLES ON THE ROAD. PLEASE HELP DRIVE AN INVESTIGATION BEFORE SOMEONE IS SERIOUSLY INJURED OR KILLED!

Mileage: 3,300

I BOUGHT THIS WRANGLER JL MODEL NEW THIS PAST SUMMER. SINCE THAT TIME I HAVE EXPERIENCED 3 SEPARATE OCCASIONS WHERE THE FRONT END SHAKES UNCONTROLLABLY WITH THE STEERING WHEEL SHAKING BACK AND FORTH. THIS OCCURRED ONCE ON A MULTIPLE LANE ROAD TRAVELING APPROXIMATELY 45MPH AND ONCE ON A HIGHWAY TRAVELING APPROXIMATELY 70MPH. I HAVE BEEN TOLD BY THE JEEP DEALER THIS IS TERMED A "DEATH WOBBLE."

Mileage: 4,600

AT 3 MONTHS OLD AND 3000 MILES, MY 2018 JL STARTED EXHIBITING THE "DEATH WOBBLE" SYMPTOMS. IT ALWAYS HAPPENS AT A SPECIFIC HIGHWAY SPEED--BETWEEN 55-70 MPH WHEN I HIT CERTAIN EXPANSION JOINTS ON THE HIGHWAY. I FEEL IT IN THE WHEEL, AND IT OSCILLATES THROUGHOUT THE FRONT END OF THE VEHICLE. I HAVE TO SLOW DOWN FOR IT TO STOP. IF I DON'T SLOW DOWN OR PULL TO THE RIGHT OF THE HIGHWAY, IT ESCALATES INTO A VIOLENT SHAKE. THE VEHICLE IS COMPLETELY STOCK WITH NO MODIFICATIONS. IT HAS NEVER EVEN BEEN OFF THE ROAD. IN RESPONSE, FCA ISSUED A REPLACEMENT STEERING STABILIZER. THE REPLACEMENT STABILIZER MASKED THE ISSUE FOR THREE WEEKS, BUT NOW THE WOBBLE IS COMING BACK JUST AS IT HAD BEFORE. AGAIN, TO STOP THE VEHICLE I HAVE TO SLOW DOWN TO 40-50 MPH ON THE HIGHWAY. THIS IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS, AND FCA IS BEING INCREDIBLY RELUCTANT TO ACKNOWLEDGE AND ADDRESS THIS SERIOUS ISSUE.

Mileage: 3,000

BRAND NEW JEEP WRANGLER WOULD SHAKE VIOLENTLY WHEN HITTING A SMALL BUMP WHEN TRAVELING ON HIGHWAYS. LOOKED UP SYMPTOMS AND IT SOUNDS LIKE WHAT IS CALLED A "DEATH WOBBLE". HAD TO SLOW DOWN TO UNDER 30 MPH TO GET IT TO STOP.

Mileage: 6,000

WHILE DRIVING DOWN HIGHWAY BEGINNING TO GO AROUND LEFT-HAND CURVE, WHEN YOU START TO TURN STEERING WHEEL TOWARD THE LEFT, IT WILL NOT TURN. TO GET THE VEHICLE TO TURN TO THE LEFT, YOU HAVE TO APPLY THE BRAKE, BUT WHEN YOU DO APPLY THE BRAKE, THE STEERING WHEEL RELEASES THE PRESSURE THAT IS HOLDING IT FROM NOT TURNING TO THE LEFT. AS A RESULT THE VEHICLE WILL DART INTO THE ON COMING LANE, HEAD ON TO ON COMING TRAFFIC.

Mileage: 7,500

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2018 JEEP WRANGLER. WHILE DRIVING 60 MPH, THE STEERING WHEEL SHOOK WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO C HARPER (2401 MEMORIAL BLVD, CONNELLSVILLE, PA 15425, 724-603-2800) TO BE DIAGNOSED, BUT THEY WERE UNABLE TO DUPLICATE THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 2,000.

Mileage: 2,000

DEATH WOBBLE. EVERY TIME I'M ON THE HIGHWAY, 65-75MPH, AND GO OVER A BRIDGE OR OTHER SLIGHT BUMP. THE STEERING WHEEL AND ENTIRE CAR START SHAKING VIOLENTLY AND I HAVE TO SLOW DOWN TO GET IT UNDER CONTROL. I WON'T LET MY 18 YEAR OLD CHILD DRIVE THE JEEP BECAUSE OF THIS. IT'S QUITEVIOLENT. I WILL PUT THE MOST RECENT DATE, BUT IT HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES. I'M NOT WHAT ONE WOULD DESCRIBE AS AN UPTIGHT DRIVER BUT THIS SCARED ME. THE JEEP HAS HAD NO MODIFICATIONS FROM DATE OF PURCHASE. TIRE PRESSURE IS EQUAL AND NORMAL. THE MILEAGE IS LESS THAN 8,000. I'VE HAD THE CAR FOR 6MINTHS

WHEN HITTING BUMP AT HIGHWAY SPEED STEERING BEGINS SHAKE. I HAVE TO SLOW DOWN TO GET IT TO STOP

Mileage: 500

IT'S DIFFICULT TO KEEP THE VEHICLE (2018 JEEP RUBICON JL) FROM WEAVING WHEN DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY. IT'S SCARY DRIVING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS IN TRAFFIC WHEN THE VEHICLE IS WEAVING. DEALER SAYS THERE ISN'T ANYTHING WRONG WITH THE VEHICLE. THIS VEHICLE WAS PURCHASE NOV 6, 2018 WITH 6 MILES ON IT.

Mileage: 15

MY STEERING WHEEL SHAKES/VIBRATES RAPIDLY MULTIPLE TIMES DAILY AT SPEEDS VERYING FROM 20MPH THROUGH 80MPH. IT HAPPENS WHEN I HIT A BUMP OR SOME KIND OF IREGULAR FORM IN THE ROAD AND IT LAST FROM 5 SECONDS ALL THE WAY TO 35 SECONDS.

Mileage: 4,500

WHEN HITTING A BUMP ON THE HIGHWAY (FOR EXAMPLE- BRIDGE SEAMS) AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS (55 MPH+) THE JEEP WILL SHUDDER AND SHAKE, PARTICULARLY THE STEERING WHEEL & FRONT END AT TIMES; SOMETIMES WHEN HITTING A SERIES OF BUMPS THE SHUDDERING WILL INTENSIFY AND IS MORE DIFFICULT TO STOP. THE ONLY WAY TO STOP THE SHUDDERING IS TO SLOW DOWN TO SPEEDS THAT ARE POTENTIALLY UNSAFE ON THE HIGHWAY - <30 MPH.

PURCHASED NEW IN JULY 2018. CURRENTLY HAS 5,800 MILES TRAVELED. I HAVE EXPERIENCED THE SEVERE "DEATH WOBBLE" THREE TIMES. ONCE AT 65MPH WHEN I HIT A ROUGH EXPANSION JOINT IN A BRIDGE. THE OTHER TWO AT ROUGHLY THE SAME SPEED, AND I HIT BUMPS IN THE HIGHWAY. IN READING THE PROBLEMS OTHER OWNERS HAVE EXPERIENCED, I DID TRY LOWERING AIR PRESSURE IN THE TIRES. THEY WERE ALL INFLATED AT THE HIGH END OF THEIR RANGE FOR WINTER. I LOWERED EACH ABOUT 10% - AND I HAVE NOT HAD ANY WOBBLES SINCE. THIS MAY BE A COINCIDENCE OBVIOUSLY. WHAT IS BAD ABOUT ALL THIS IS THAT MY WIFE WILL NOT DRIVE THE JEEP SINCE SHE WAS A PASSENGER DURING A DEATH WOBBLE. I DO NOT FEEL ANY PROBLEMS WITH ALIGNMENT. I HAVE NOT HAD THE JEEP OFF ROAD YET, SO NO STRESS ON THE SUSPENSION OUTSIDE OF NORMAL DRIVING CONDITIONS. AND I HAVE NOT EVEN DRIVEN MORE THAN AROUND THE BLOCK IN FULL 4 WHEEL DRIVE.

Mileage: 5,000

2018 JEEP WRANGER JL SPORT 2 DOOR HAS 1500 MILES, STOCK FROM THE FACTORY, NO MODIFICATIONS AND I EXPERIENCED THE "DEATH WOBBLE" ON THE HIGHWAY - AT ABOUT 70 MPH I WENT OVER A BUMP IN THE HIGHWAY AND THE JEEP STARTED SHAKING VIOLENTLY, LUCKILY NO ONE AROUND ME AND AS I SLOWED TO APPROX 40 MPH IT STOPPED. I PULLED OFF TO CHECK EVERYTHING. I HAD NEVER HEARD OF THIS SO CLEARLY I WAS VERY SHOOK UP. I HAVE SINCE CALLED THE DEALER I BOUGHT IT FROM AND THEY ARE GOING TO TAKE A LOOK NEXT WEEK. VERY CONCERNED ABOUT THE SAFETY!

Mileage: 1,500

I PURCHASED THIS 2018 UNLIMITED IN JUNE, BRAND NEW, WITH UNDER 500 MILES IT TOOK TO DRIVE IT FROM MI. AT APPROX. 15,000 MILES I HEARD A RATTLE, THAT SOUNDED LIKE A LOOSE HEAT SHIELD, TOOK IT IN AND TECHS FOUND NOTHING, SAID NO HEAT SHIELDS. WITHIN ABOUT 2 WEEKS I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY, AT HIGHWAY SPEED, AS I CAME OVER BRIDGE CROSSINGS MY JEEP WOULD SHAKE UNCONTROLLABLY AND I WAS NOT ABLE TO STEER. AT FIRST IT WOULD ONLY HAPPEN OCCASSIONALLY, THEN IT GOT WORSE, TO THE POINT OF MOVING OUT OF THE LANE I WAS DRIVING IN AND INTO THE BERM AND/OR INTO THE LANE NEXT TO ME. THE WHOLE JEEP WOULD SHAKE UNCONTROLLABLY FOR LONGER THAN 1-3 MINUTES. I DID NOTICE THAT IF CROSSING OVER BRIDGES IN A STRAIGHT AWAY, THE WOBBLE WAS LESS SEVERE THAN IF I WAS IN A SLIGHT CURVE, OR ANGLE. ALSO, I DID NOTICE THAT IF I TOOK MY FOOT OFF THE GAS PEDAL BEFORE, DURING AND FOR A SHORT PERIOD AFTER BRIDGES, THE JEEP DOESN'T HAVE THE WOBBLE AS OFTEN. THIS MAY NEED TO BE CHECKED, THE TECHS ARE REPLACING PARTS THEY ARE BEING TOLD TO BY JEEP, BUT JEEP DOESN'T KNOW WHAT IS CAUSING THE DEATH WOBBLE, MAYBE IT ISN'T DIRECTLY RELAYED TO ONLY THE FRONT STEERING DAMPER.

Mileage: 15,000

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2018 JEEP WRANGLER. AFTER THE VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED BRAND NEW ON SEPTEMBER 23, 2018, THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE STEERING WAS MALFUNCTIONING AND THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT REMAIN CENTERED WHILE DRIVING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO STERLING CHRYSLER JEEP DODGE RAM (5504 I-49 FRONTAGE RD, OPELOUSAS, LA 70570). THE DEALER TEST DROVE THE VEHICLE, BUT IT WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE CONTACT WENT TO ANOTHER UNKNOWN DEALER AND THEY DETERMINED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS OUT OF ALIGNMENT. THE CONTACT CALLED THE MANUFACTURER AND THEY STATED THAT THEY WERE CONDUCTING AN INVESTIGATION. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 2,700.

Mileage: 2,700

AROUND 10,000 MILES THE 'DEATH WOBBLE' STARTED. IT HAPPENS ALMOST DAILY. WHEN DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY BETWEEN SPEEDS OF 55-75 THE FRONT END AND STEERING WHEEL WILL VIOLENTLY SHAKE. IT WILL STOP IF I SLOW DOWN SIGNIFICANTLY, WHICH ISN'T ALWAYS SAFE ON THE HIGHWAY. WHILE IT HAPPENS ONLY DAILY, IT DOES NOT LAST LONG WHEN IT DOES HAPPEN. THIS NEVER HAPPENED THE FIRST 10K MILES, AND NOW ALMOST EVERY DAY.

Mileage: 10,000

MY DAUGHTER WAS DRIVING MY 2018 JEEP WRANGLER JL TO AL A MONTH AGO AND EXPERIENCED THE "DEATH WOBBLE". SHE DID NOT LOSE CONTROL OF THE JEEP AND MADE IT THERE FINE. TODAY, MY WIFE WAS DRIVING THE JEEP UP I-85 FROM DOWNTOWN ATLANTA, WENT OVER A SEAM IN THE ROAD AT 70 MPH (SPEED LIMIT) AND ALMOST LOST CONTROL OF JEEP AND SWERVED INTO ADJACENT LANE ALMOST SIDESWIPING ANOTHER CAR WHEN SHE EXPERIENCED THE 'DEATH WOBBLE'. SHE WAS SO UPSET, SHE PULLED OFF THE INTERSTATE IN TEARS. I HAVE SENT E-MAILS TO JEEP HQ AND DEALER I PURCHASED JEEP FROM.

Mileage: 11,000

WHEN TRAVELING HIGHWAY SPEEDS TYPICALLY BETWEEN 70-75 AND THE JEEP HITS A BUMP. THE ENTIRE CAR WOBBLES FAIRLY SIGNIFICANTLY FOR A SECOND OR TWO. IT STOPS WOBBLING WHEN YOU TAKE FOOT OFF THE ACCELERATOR. THE DEALER EXAMINED THE CAR AND BELIEVES IT TO BE SAFE. I HAVE DRIVEN MANY JEEPS OVER THE YEARS AND NEVER EXPERIENCED THIS. IT DOES NOT SEEM SAFE.

Mileage: 5,000

WHEN HITTING A BUMP ON THE HIGHWAY (FOR EXAMPLE- BRIDGE SEAMS) AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS (45 MPH+) THE JEEP WILL SHUDDER AND SHAKE, PARTICULARLY THE STEERING WHEEL & FRONT END AT TIMES; SOMETIMES WHEN HITTING A SERIES OF BUMPS THE SHUDDERING WILL INTENSIFY AND IS MORE DIFFICULT TO STOP. THE ONLY WAY TO STOP THE SHUDDERING IS TO SLOW DOWN TO SPEEDS THAT ARE POTENTIALLY UNSAFE ON THE HIGHWAY - <30 MPH.

Mileage: 4,000

ON 10-10-18 (15000MILES) I STARTED TO EXPERIENCE A DEATH WOBBLE THAT WAS GETTING WORSE VERY QUICKLY. I TOOK IT TO MY DEALERSHIP AND THEY HAD IT FOR 31 DAYS. THEY SAID IT WAS A PROBLEM IN ONE OF MY TIRES. I DROVE IT 200 MORE MILES AND IT STARTED AGAIN. I CALLED THEM BACK AND THEY TOLD ME THAT CRYSTLER SAID THERE WAS NO FIX FOR IT AND IT WAS STILL SAFE. AS IT CONTINUED TO GET WORSE, I CALLED CRYSTLER, AND THEY HAD THEIR TECH REACH OUT TO MY DEALERSHIP (TOOK 3 WEEKS). THEY SAID THEY NEEDED TO INSTALL AN AFTER MARKET STABALIZER BAR, WHICH THEY DID - AND AS I DROVE AWAY AND ON TO THE INTERSTATE THE JEEP WENT VIOLENTLY OUT OF CONTROL AND I WAS ALMOST HIT BY 4-5 OTHER VEHICLES ON THE INTERSTATE. I WAS ALMOST KILLLED. I DROVE RIGHT BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP AND EXPLAINED AS I WAS SHAKING WITH TEARS FROM FEAR. THIS HAS BEEN ALMOST 2 MONTHS AND THEY ARE REFUSING TO GIVE ME A LOANER. MY RESPONSES AND LACK OF URGENCY ON THIS IS BEYOND LEGAL. I AM NOT SAFE IN A $50K BRAND NEW VEHICLE. PLEASE SOMEONE DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS VERY SOON, IT ISN'T JUST JEEP OWNERS, IT IS WHOMEVER MIGHT BE DRIVING AROUND THEM ON INTERSTATES AND HIGHWAYS.

DEATH WOBBLE. BOUGHT BRAND NEW 2018 JEEP SAHARA IN JUNE. 12/1/2018 HIT A BUMPY ROAD AND WENT INTO A VIOLENT SHAKE. IT DID IT TWICE MORE LATER THAT DAY ON 12/2 IT DID THIS AGAIN. ALL AT SPEED 55-80 THE SHAKING IS SO BAD IT IS HARD TO CONTROL VEHICLE. YOUR HANDS WILL BE NUMB AFTER TRYING TO HOLD THE STEERING WHEEL.

Mileage: 9,000

MY 2 MONTH OLD SAHARA HAS EXPERIENCED VIOLENT SHAKING AND VIBRATIONS THROUGH THE STEERING/SUSPENSION SYSTEM ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS. THE CAR IS NOT SAFE TO DRIVE. I DELIVERED MY SAHARA TO THE DEALER, AUTO WORLD OF PETALUMA ON 10/29. AUTO WORLD KEPT MY CAR TO ADDRESS THE PROBLEM RETURNING IT AFTER REPLACING THE TIRES ON 10/8. ON 10/9 MY CAR AGAIN EXPERIENCED WHAT I NOW KNOW IS CALLED 'DEATH WOBBLE.' I TOOK MY CAR OUT ON THE MORNING OF 10/10 AND AGAIN EXPERIENCED 'DEATH WOBBLE.' BECAUSE AUTO WORLD TOLD ME IT COULD NOT REPLICATE THE DEATH WOBBLE IN MY CAR I TOOK IT OUT ON THE FREEWAY AND MADE TWO VIDEO TAPES OF THE STEERING WHEEL DURING DEATH WOBBLE. I THEN RETURNED MY CAR TO THE SERVICE MANAGER AT AUTO WORLD AND SHOWED HIM THE VIDEOS. THE SERVICE MANAGER TOLD ME HE AFTER SEEING THE VIDEO THAT HE THOUGHT JEEP HAD RESOLVED THE DEATH WOBBLE PROBLEM WITH JEEP'S YEARS AGO. THAT WAS THE FIRST TIME I HAD HEARD THE TERM DEATH WOBBLE. I TOLD THE MANAGER WHERE TO TAKE THE CAR TO EXPERIENCE DEATH WOBBLE. DEATH WOBBLE INITIATED IN MY CAR WHILE TRAVELING AT FREEWAY SPEEDS WHEN ENCOUNTERING ANY TYPE OF CHANGE OF CONDITIONS LIKE GOING FROM AN ASPHALT TO CONCRETE SURFACE AT A BRIDGE OVERPASS/UNDERPASS ON THE FREEWAY. AFTER RETURNING MY CAR TO THE SERVICE MANAGER ON 11/10 I WAS DIRECTED TO SEVERAL DIFFERENT JEEP COMPLAINT TEAMS. I WAS ALTIMATELY PUT IN CONTACT WITH REPRESENTATIVE FORD FROM THE JEEP RESOLUTION TEAM IN DALLAS TEXAS. FORD TOLD ME TO BE PATIENT AS IT WOULD TAKE HIM 1 TO 30 DAYS TO ADDRESS MY CLAIM. I ORIGINALLY SPOKE WITH FORD ALMOST 3 WEEKS AGO. I VOLUNTEERED TO SEND HIM MY VIDEOS AND EMAILS WITH THE DEALER HOWEVER HE DECLINED TO ACCEPT THEM AND WOULD NOT GIVE ME CONTACT INFORMATION WHERE I COULD SEND THE MATERIAL I HAD ACCUMULATED. DESPITE MULTIPLE CALLS TO FORD I HAVE NOT HEARD FROM HIM SINCE 11/20. MY CAR FOR WHICH I PAID CASH IS NOT SAFE TO DRIVE.

VIOLENT SHAKING WHEN ON THE HIGHWAY. THIS OCCURS WHEN I HIT AN UNEVEN BUMP GOING AROUND 70 MPH. FEELS VERY DANGEROUS AND LASTS FOR MINUTES. THIS FORCED ME TO SLOW DOWN CONSIDERABLY ON THE HIGHWAY.

Mileage: 6,700

I MADE AN ERROR ON THE DATES ON MY EARLIER SUBMISSION, COMPKAINT NUMBER 11155434. IN THE 4TH SENTENCE I SAID 10/8, IT SHOULD BE 11/8. IN THE 5TH SENTENCE I SAID 10/9, IT SHOULD BE 11/9. IN THE 6TH SENTENCE I SAID 10/10, IT SHOULD BE 11/10. I PURCHASED MY SAHARA FROM AUTO WORLD ON A FULLY PAID CASH BASIS AS A NEW VEHICLE UNDER FULL FACTORY WARRANTY ON 9/1/2018. THE EVENTS REPORTED WERE FIRST EXPERIENCED ON 10/27/2018 ALTHOUGH THE DEATH WOBBLE HAS HAPPENED MULTIPLE TIMES SINCE 10/27/2018. AUTO WORLD HAS HAD MY CAR IN ITS SHOP SINCE 10/29/2018 FOR ALL BUT THE LATE AFTERNOON OF 11/8, 11/9 AND THE MORNING OF 11/10. AUTO WORLD STILL HAS MY CAR. I CAN NOT AND WILL NOT DRIVE MY PAID FOR CAR WITH MY GRAND CHILDREN OR ANYONE ELSE IN THE CAR DUE TO THE GRAVITY OF THE PROBLEM AND SAFETY CONCERNS.

MY NEW JL HAS 2600 MILES ON IT AND I'VE HAD ISSUES WITH THE AMOUNT OF PLAY (COUPLE INCHES OF FREE PLAY) MOST NOTICEABLE ON THE HIGHWAY. IT FLOATS BACK AND FORTH, REQUIRING CONSTANT CORRECTION. I HAD A 2.5' LIFT INSTALLED, AND FIRST THOUGHT THIS WAS THE ISSUE. AFTER READING ALL THE ACCOUNTS OF STEERING, MINE IS EXACTLY AS PEOPLE ARE DESCRIBING. I'VE HAD THE LIFT LOOK AT, ALIGNMENT REDONE, WHEELS BALANCED, AND STILL SEEMS SLOPPY AND UNSAFE. MY PARTICULAR VIN DOES NOT SHOW IT ON THE RECALL, BUT THIS IS HORRIBLY DANGEROUS. I'M DRIVING HOME TO SEE MY FOLK IN A COUPLE DAYS AND AM SCARED OF MY 40K NEW JEEP. PLEASE MAKE THEM DO A FULL RECALL TO INVESTIGATE ALL STEERING ISSUES. I'VE ALSO EXPERIENCED A 'SHIMMY SHAKING ' WHILE ON HIGHWAY SPEEDS TURNING AND WEIGHT SHIFTS. NOT LIKE A VIOLENT DEARH WOBBLE, BUT STILL COMPLETELY SHAKING THE JEEP. I SUPPOSE IF WHILE ON MY DRIVE HOME NEXT WEEK I CRASH, LET THIS BE A WARNING AND EYE OPENER THAT THERE IS SOMETHING DEFINITELY NOT SAFE ABOUT IT. I DON'T HAVE HAVE AN ALTERNATIVE TO DRIVING SOMETHING ELSE. NOR SHOULD WE HAVE TO BE WORRIED ABOUT DRIVING OUR VERY EXPENSIVE NEW VEHICLES..

Mileage: 1,600

THERE IS A DEAD SPOT IN THE STEERING AT CENTER . WHEN I'M DRIVING I HAVE TO CONSTANTLY CORRECT THE STEERING TO MAKE IT GO STRAIGHT . THE PROBLEM GETS WORSE AT HIGHER SPEEDS . THE VEHICLE WONDERS AND I'M SURE IT LOOKS LIKE THERE'S A DRUNK DRIVER BEHIND THE WHEEL . I CAN MOVE THE STEERING WHEEL 15 DEGREES BACK AND FORTH IN EITHER DIRECTION WHILE DRIVING AND NOT GET A RESPONSE FROM THE STEERING . THAT'S THE DEAD SPOT . THIS MAKES IT DIFFICULT TO KEEP THE VEHICLE IN A LANE .

ONCE MY 2018 JEEP WRANGLER HIT OVER 16.5K MILES, WHEN DRIVING OVER 60 MPH AND HIT A BUMP IN THE ROAD, THE STEERING WHEEL/WHEELS SHAKE VIGOROUSLY AND THE ONLY WAY TO STOP IS TO BRING THE SPEED BELOW 60 MPH, WHICH IS VERY UNSAFE WHEN DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY. I AM ALSO NOW NOTICING THAT THE STEERING/SUSPENSION FEELS DIFFERENT WHEN TRAVELING ON SECONDARY ROADS WHEN HITTING BUMPS ON THE ROAD. THIS STARTED 2 WEEKS AGO WAS MINOR AND IS CONTINUING TO GET WORSE.

Mileage: 16,500

I PURCHASED THIS JEEP BRAND NEW. I CAN HARDLY MAINTAIN MY LANE WHILE TRAVELING OVER 60MPH ON THE HIGHWAY. I AM ALL OVER THE ROAD. I HAVE TO HOLD ON TIGHTLY WITH TWO HANDS. I HAVE OWNED SEVERAL JEEPS OVER THE YEARS. I HAVE NEVER HAD THIS ISSUE. I HAVE A VIDEO OF THE 1" IN THE PLAY OF MY STEERING WHEEL WHILE TRAVELING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. THE JEEP DOES NOT MOVE OR RESPOND UNTIL YOU GO PAST THAT 1" GAP. I HAVE ALSO ALMOST WRECKED DUE TO OVER CORRECTING. A CAR CAME INTO MY LANE WHILE ON THE INTERSTATE. I SWERVED, BUT DUE TO THE STEERING BOX NOT RESPONDING TO WHAT THE STEERING WHEEL WAS DOING, I ALMOST FLIPPED IT. VERY SCARY. IT IS NOT FUN TO DRIVE AND I HAVE CONTEMPLATED GETTING RID OF IT.

MY VEHICLE HAS THE "DEATH WOBBLE" ON THE HIGHWAY AT ANY SPEEDS ABOVE 55 MPH. IF I HIT A SMALL BUMP ON THE ROAD, SUCH AS A HIGHWAY JOINT, MY STEERING WHEEL SHAKES VIOLENTLY AND UNCONTROLLABLY AND MY WHEELS ALSO UNCONTROLLABLY VIBRATE. I AM UNABLE TO CONTROL THE VEHICLE WHEN THIS HAPPENS AND IMMEDIATELY TRY TO SLOW DOWN AND HOLD ONTO THE STEERING WHEEL AS HARD AS I CAN.

JEEP WRANGLER JL SPORT (2 DR) BUILD DATE 6/18 PURCHASED 7/18 CURRENTLY 1243 MILE ON THE ODOMETER. SINCE THE DRIVE HOME FROM THE DEALER THE VEHICLE CONSTANTLY WANDERS LEFT AND RIGHT REGARDLESS OF THE TYPE OF ROAD SURFACE. I RECENTLY TOOK THE JEEP ON A STRAIGHT AND LEVEL ROAD AND COULD NOT TRAVEL MORE THAN 25 YARDS AT 45 MPH WITHOUT MOVING THE STEERING WHEEL AT LEAST 1.5 INCHES. I HAVE ADJUSTED THE TIRE PRESSURE UP AND DOWN FROM THE FACTORY SETTING WITH NO CHANGE. I BELIEVE THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM ON THE JEEP JL, IT IS DIFFICULT TO KEEP THE VEHICLE IN ITS OWN LANE CREATING CONTROL PROBLEMS. THE PROBLEM INTENSIFIES WITH SPEED

Mileage: 5

MY STEERING SEEMS TO BIND WHEN I TURN THE WHEEL TO THE LEFT. IT WILL BIND THEN LET GO CAUSING OVERSTEERING. THE PROBLEM IS INTERMITTENT. THE PROBLEM IS ON BOTH CITY STREETS AND ON THE HIGHWAY. THERE WERE TWO OCCASIONS WHEN THE STEERING WOULD ONLY ALLOW ME TO TURN THE WHEEL 1/4 TO THE LEFT. I HAD TO USE BOTH HANDS AND PULL REAL HARD TO TURN THE JEEP A FRACTION. IT SEEMS LIKE THE PROBLEM IS WORSE WHEN IT IS COLD. THIS PROBLEM WAS ALSO ON BOTH CITY STREETS AND ON THE HIGHWAY. THIS PROBLEM IS ALSO INTERMITTENT. THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY CONCERN. BOTH PROBLEMS SEEM TO BE GETTING WORSE. THE VEHICLE IS IN THE DEALERSHIP NOW BUT THEY HAVE NOT EXPERIENCED THE PROBLEMS.

ON A WINDY DAY IT ACTUALLY DANGEROUS AND ON ONE OCCASION I ALMOST HIT A GUARDRAIL ON THE INTERSTATE. THE WANDERING IS MOST NOTICEABLE ON THE INTERSTATE. THIS IS NOT CAUSED BY ANY SPECIFIC ROAD SURFACE. I WANTED TO DOCUMENT THIS JUST IN CASE SOMETHING HAPPENS TO ME OR MY VEHICLE. THERE ARE THOUSANDS OF OTHER WRANGLER OWNERS 2018 JL MODEL THAT ARE HAVING THE SAME ISSUE. I ONLY HAVE 2500 MILES BUT ANOTHER ISSUE THAT I HAVEN'T YET EXPERIENCED IN MY JEEP YET BUT THERE IS A DANGEROUS SHIMMY WHEN HITTING BRIDGE OVER PASSES, EXPANSION JOINT IN THE ROAD WHEN YOUR GOING 55-65 MPH. WOULD BE NICE IF GOVT COULD STEP IN AND ACCELERATE THE FIX AND MAKE FIAT CHRYSLER FIX THESE JEEPS BEFORE SOMEONE IS KILLED DRIVING THEIR JEEP.

I WAS DRIVING STRAIGHT AT A SPEED OF 65 MILES PER HOUR ON A BUSY, MAIN HIGHWAY. WITHOUT WARNING, THE JEEP WENT INTO A "DEATH WOBBLE" AND WAS UNABLE TO BE CONTROLLED. I WAS UNABLE TO STEER THE VEHICLE AND I WAS FORCED TO COAST TO A STOP ALONG THE SHOULDER. ONLY UPON BRINGING THE CAR TO A COMPLETE STOP DID THE THE VIOLENT SHAKING STOP. I WAS UNABLE TO DRIVE THE CAR PROPERLY AFTER THAT, AS THE STEERING WAS LOOSE AND NOT CORRECTLY CONTROLLED. I MADE IT TO A GAS STATION WHILE DRIVING SLOWLY AND WAS TOWED TO A DEALERSHIP FROM THERE.

Mileage: 8,900

DRIVING ON HIGHWAY AT APPROXIMATELY 70-75 MPH AND THE FRONT END STARTED TO SHAKE VIOLENTLY. STEERING WHEEL AND FRONT END WERE VISIBLY SHAKING. HAD TO PULL TO SIDE OF ROAD. TOOK TO DEALERSHIP THE NEXT DAY IN WHICH THEY STATED IT WAS THE "DEATH WOBBLE". PARTS NOT AVAILABLE TO FIX FOR 5-6 MORE MONTHS (APRIL - MAY 2019). COMPLETELY UNACCEPTABLE CONSIDERING IT'S BRAND NEW, I COMMUTE 5 DAYS A WEEK (120 HIGHWAY MILES A DAY) AND ALSO TRANSPORT TWO SMALL CHILDREN TO SCHOOL EVERY DAY. I ALSO SUFFER FROM PANIC ATTACKS, IN WHICH THIS INCIDENT BROUGHT ON A FULL BLOWN ATTACK. I AM VERY CONCERNED ABOUT MY SAFETY IN THIS VEHICLE.

Mileage: 13,300

WAS DRIVING ON INTERSTATE. GOING ABOUT 60 MPH STEERING WHEEL LOCKED UP AND BEGAN TO SHAKE AGGRESSIVELY. HAD NO CONTROL OF VEHICLE. HAD TO APPLY BRAKES AND GET IT DOWN TO 40 MPH BEFORE STEERING WILL UNLOCK. VEHICLE NOW IN JEEP DEALERSHIP WITH NO RESOLUTION. IN ADDITION I'VE HAD SHOOTING PAIN DON BACK FROM AGGRESSIVE SHAKING.

Mileage: 9,555

WHEN DRIVING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS STEERING SEEMS LOOSE AND NOT VERY RESPONSIVE. IT TAKES A GOOD DEAL OF TURN IN THE WHEEL FOR IT TO MOVE THE WHEELS A LITTLE. IF YOU HAVE TO MOVE QUICKLY THE WHEEL DOES NOT REACT. I FEEL IT IS UNSAFE BECAUSE IF YOU NEEDED TO GET OUT OF THE WAY AND MOVE THE WHEEL IT DOES NOT RESPOND, IN MY OPTION THE STEERING IS TOO LOOSE AND DOES NOT HAVE ANY RESISTANCE BEHIND THE WHEEL AND IS DANGEROUS AND COULD CAUSE AN ACCIDENT.

Mileage: 5,000

WHEN DRIVING HIGHWAY SPEEDS AND VEHICLE HITS A BUMP OR BRIDGE LIP, VEHICLE SHAKES AND STEERING WHEEL SHAKE UNCONTROLLABLY. THIS OCCURRED ON NOVEMBER 22, 2018 AND NOW IT HAS CONTINUED WHEN I DRIVE ON THE INTERSTATE WITH POSTED SPEED OF 70.

EXTREME WOBBLE AND SHAKING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS WHICH CONTINUES WELL PAST THE ROAD IMPERFECTIONS THAT CAUSED THE SPECIFIC TYPE OF SUSPENSION TRAVEL. STARTED UNDER 1000 MILES. HAPPENS SEVERAL TIMES EVERY WORKDAY - CAN BE REPLICATED. THIS VEHICLE IS COMPLETELY STOCK AND BRAND NEW. IF DRIVING AROUND A SLIGHT TURN WITH SMALL BUMPS THE VEHICLE STARTS SHAKING VIOLENTLY AND KEEPS SHAKING FOR 20-30 SECONDS UNTIL THE TRAVELING SPEED IS REDUCED TO 50 MPH WHICH IS NOT A SAFE SPEED AT TIMES. 2 STEADY HANDS MUST BE ON THE STEERING WHEEL TO MAINTAIN CONTROL AND CHANGING LANES IS NOT POSSIBLE. HAD TO MAKE AN AVOIDANCE MANEUVER DURING THE SHAKING AND ALMOST LOST CONTROL WHILE TRAVELING 60 MPH. THIS CAR IS NOT SAFE TO OPERATE AND THE PROBLEM HAPPENS MULTIPLE TIMES PER DAY. UNKNOWN COMPONENTS AND PARTS CAUSE THE EXTREME SHAKING/WOBBLING. THIS STATEMENT IS TO DOCUMENT THE PROBLEM; THERE WILL BE VIDEOS AND REPAIR INVOICES IN THE FUTURE BUT SEVERAL DEALERSHIPS HAVE TOLD ME THERE ARE NO FIXES FOR THE PROBLEM CALLED DEATH WOBBLE. I AM CURRENTLY ON A "WAITING LIST" FOR A REPAIR ATTEMPT. I WILL CALL FOR AN UPDATE WITH THE DEALERSHIP 11/30/18. THE TIRES ARE STOCK AND AT PROPER PRESSURE. THERE HAVE BEEN NO MODIFICATIONS TO THE VEHICLE.

I WAS DRIVING DOWN I81 IN PA. IT WAS APPROX. 35 DEGREES OUTSIDE AND RAINING. I WAS DRIVING 69-70 MPH AND ENTERED INTO A LEFT HAND CURVE. MY STEERING WHEEL LOCKED UP TO WHERE I COULDN'T GET IT TO TURN LEFT ANY FURTHER THAN THE SLIGHT LEFT NEEDED FOR THE CURVE. AFTER SEVERAL ATTEMPTS OF TRYING TO OVER POWER THE STUCK STEERING WHEEL FEELING, IT RETURNED TO A NORMAL STEERING WHEEL FEELING. I HAVE UPLOADED A VIDEO I TOOK.

Mileage: 28,000

JEEP IS EXPERIENCING INTERMITTENT STEERING LOCK-UP WHILE DRIVING, TYPICALLY AT FASTER SPEEDS SUCH AS 65MPH. THE STEERING FEELS AL THOUGH THE ENGINE SEIZED OR POWER STEERING COMPLETELY FAILED. ONCE SPEED SLOWS, THE STEERING ENGAGES AGAIN. IT'S VERY DANGEROUS. THIS HAS HAPPENED BOTH ON THE HIGHWAY AND ON RESIDENTIAL ROADS.

Mileage: 10,000

OUR JEEP HAS 8000 MILES ON THE ODOMETER. AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS, WHEN THE TIRES WOULD HIT A BUMP, THE VEHICLE WOULD START TO VIBRATE SEVERELY, WHAT OTHERS HAVE BEEN CALLING THE "DEATH WOBBLE." THIS HAPPENED NUMEROUS TIMES OVER THE PAST MONTH. APPLYING THE BRAKES CAUSED THE SHAKING TO STOP. IT'S A VERY SCARY FEELING. I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALERSHIP AND I WAS GIVEN A LOANER TO DRIVE, AS THE TECH SAID MY JEEP WRANGLER WAS UNSAFE TO DRIVE AND THE STEERING DAMPER NEEDED REPLACING. THE PART IS ON BACKORDER.

Mileage: 8,000

AROUND 7000 MILES WE STARTED TO GET A VIBRATION THAT WOULD LAST TILL WE SLOWED DOWN EVERY TIME WE HIT A BUMP WITH OUR WRANGLER JL AT HIGHWAY SPEED. IT HAS SINCE TURNED INTO A VIOLENT SHAKE THAT WILL LITERALLY RATTLE YOUR TEETH. YOU CAN FEEL THE SHAKE THROUGHOUT THE WHOLE CARE AND ESPECIALLY ON THE WHEEL. THE BUMP IN ROAD DOES NOT HAVE TO BE BIG AND CAN BE AS SMALL AS THE PLACE WHERE THE ROAD CONNECTS TO AN OVERPASS. HAVING TO SLOW DOWN TO AROUND 40 MPH TO GET IT TO STOP WHEN ALL OTHER TRAFFIC IS TRAVELING 60+ MPH IS SCARY AND WE ARE NOW WORRIED FOR OUR SAFETY. HAVE TAKEN THE VEHICLE IN TO OUR JEEP DEALER 3 TIMES, BUT THEY HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO RESOLVE THE ISSUE. THEY DID SAY THAT THEY CURRENTLY HAVE 3 OTHER JL WRANGLERS EXPERIENCING THE SAME PROBLEM AND THEY HAVE YET TO FIND A SOLUTION.

Mileage: 7,000

WHILE DRIVING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS THE STEERING DEVELOPS A SEVERE WOBBLE IN STEERING AND FRONT END......THE ONLY WAY TO STOP THE WOBBLE IS TO APPLY BRAKES AND SLOW DOWN CONSIDERABLY. THE SHAKING AND WOBBLE HAS BEEN SEVERE ENOUGH AS TO CAUSE A LOSS OF GRIP ON THE STEERING.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2018 JEEP WRANGLER. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 65 MPH OVER A BUMP IN THE ROAD, THE STEERING WHEEL WOBBLED AND VIBRATED WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO RAY PRICE MT POCONO CHEVROLET (570-839-0810, LOCATED AT 2969 PA-940, MT POCONO, PA 18344) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE STEERING DAMPENER NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE DEALER STATED THAT THE PART WAS ON BACKORDER AND WOULD NOT BECOME AVAILABLE UNTIL APRIL OF 2019. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND DID NOT ASSIST. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE VIN WAS NOT PROVIDED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 100. THE CONSUMER STATED THE PROBLEM PERSISTS AND FEELS ITS A DEFECT IN THE BALL JOINT OR WHEELS. *TR CONSUMER STATED AS PER MY COMPLAINT OR YEAR AGO MY JEEP HAD A TERRIBLE WABA HAVE TO BRING IT BACK THREE TIMES I THOUGHT IT TO BE CORRECTED NOW ALMOST A YEAR LATER IT IS STARTING AGAIN IT IS ACTUALLY A KILLER WOBBLE WITH THE WHEEL VIBRATING TERRIBLE. DUE TO THIS WOBBLE I FEEL THERE IS AN INHERENT PROBLEM IN THE BALL JOINTS AND WHEELS THEREFORE I'M NOT SURE HOW TO APPLY FOR THE LEMON LAW BUT IT APPEARS MY CAR IS A LEMON. *JB

HI, I PURCHASED A 2018 JEEP WRANGLE JLU NEW FROM YOU DEALERSHIP AND I HAVE BEEN HAVING SEVERAL SIGNIFICANT ISSUES WITH IT RECENTLY. THE MOST CONCERNING IS SEVERAL ISSUES WITH THE STEERING. AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS IF YOU HIT A BUMP LIKE AN EXPANSION JOINT ; THE STEERING WHEEL SHAKES AGGRESSIVELY AND CAUSES YOU TO TEMPORARILY LOSE CONTROL OF THE JEEP AND YOU HAVE TO SLOW DOWN FOR IT TO SELF CORRECT. IT IS SIMILAR TO DEATH WOBBLE IN A LIFTED JEEP BUT THIS ONE IS STOCK. ALSO, WITH THE COLDER WEATHER THE STEERING WHEEL IS NOT TURNING FREELY AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. IT IS ALMOST AS IF THE POWER STEERING RANDOMLY TURNS OFF BUT THE WHEEL IS EVEN MORE DIFFICULT TO TURN. THE STEERING GOES BACK TO NORMAL AT SLOW SPEEDS. AND FINALLY THE RADIO AND TOUCH SCREEN ARE NOT WORKING PROPERLY. THE FM RADIO RANDOMLY COMPLETELY LOSES SIGNAL AND CAN NOT FIND STATIONS. RANDOMLY EVEN WITH THE VOLUME ALL THE WAY UP TO 30 YOU CAN BARELY HEAR THE RADIO. SEVERAL TIMES THE SCREEN HAS MADE A POP NOISE AND THEN JUST TURNED OFF. THE BLUE TOOTH INTERMITTENTLY FAILS.

THIS JEEP WANDERS ON THE ROAD. THE STEERING FEELS LOOSE. I CONSTANTLY HAVE TO FIGHT IT TO KEEP IT IN MY LANE.

UPON HITTING BUMPS IN THE ROAD I EXPERIENCED A VIBRATION IN THE STEERING WHEEL. IT GOT WORSE AND BECAME A VIOLENT SHAKE. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP, WHERE I BOUGHT IT A MONTH PRIOR AND THEY SAID THEY COULDN'T FIND ANYTHING. THIS IS OCCURRING MORE FREQUENTLY. THE DEALERSHIP TOLD ME THAT THE NEW JL HAVEN'T HAD ANY REPORTS OF THIS LIKE PREVIOUS MODELS HAVING THE ' THE DEATH WOBBLE.'

Mileage: 1,200

HAVE ONLY HAD THE VEHICLE FOR 2 WEEKS AND LESS THAN 500 MILES. TRAVELING ON INTERSTATE AT 65 MPH, WHEN WE CAME TO A GRADUAL TURN IN THE ROAD. STEERING WHEEL LOCKED UP AND WAS UNABLE TO TURN RIGHT. VEHICLE WENT ONTO THE RUMBLE STRIPS AND ALMOST OFF THE HIGHWAY WHEN SUDDENLY THE STEERING "RELEASED". THIS CAUSED THE WHEEL TO JERK TO THE RIGHT. FORTUNATELY DIDN'T GO OFF THE ROAD OR OVERCOMPENSATE TOO MUCH ONCE IT RELEASED. ABSOLUTELY TERRIFYING. CONCERNED ABOUT DRIVING THE VEHICLE ON HIGHWAYS. SPOKE THE DEALER AND THEY SAID MAY THE "ALIGNMENT NEEDED ADJUSTED". THIS ISN'T AN ALIGNMENT ISSUE. IT WAS LIGHT AN ELECTRONIC CONTROL THAT WAS PREVENTING THE WHEEL FROM TURNING.

Mileage: 450

MY NEW JL JEEP HAS A DEATH WOBBLE WHEN I HIT SMALL BUMPS OR DRIVE ON FREEWAY THAT HAS THE SMALL BUMPS GOING ACROSS THE LANE. THE STEERING WHEEL STARTS SHAKING VIOLENTLY FEELS LIKE I'M GOING TO CRASH. I HAVE TO SLOW DOWN AND ALMOST PULL OVER.

LAST WEEK, I DROVE OVER HIGHWAY EXPANSION JOINTS WHILE TRAVELING AT HIGHWAY SPEED. MY STEERING WHEEL BEGAN TO SHAKE VIOLENTLY AND THE ENTIRE FRONT END BEGAN TO SHIMMY AND WOBBLE. I IMMEDIATELY MOVED FROM THE PASSING LANE, THROUGH THE CENTER LANE, TO THE FAR RIGHT LANE. THERE, AFTER REDUCING SPEED, THE SHAKING STOPPED. I EXPERIENCED THIS SAME PROBLEM THIS WEEK WHILE TRAVELING ON INTERSTATES AT HIGHWAY SPEED, 5 TIMES WITHIN THE SAME TRIP. THE SHAKING BEGAN AFTER HITTING A SEEMINGLY SMALL IMPERFECTION IN THE ROAD. THE FIRST TIME, THE WOBBLING AND SHAKING MUST HAVE BEEN VISIBLE FROM THE EXTERIOR AS THE CAR BEHIND ME DROPPED BACK AND THOSE TO THE RIGHT OF ME CLEARED THE WAY FOR ME TO MOVE OVER. THE OTHER FOUR TIMES WERE NOT AS SEVERE AND THE SHAKING STOPPED AFTER I REDUCED SPEED. I CALLED THE JEEP DEALERSHIP AND SPOKE WITH THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT FROM THE ROAD TO SEE IF THEY HAD HEARD OF THIS PROBLEM AND TO SEE IF THE CAR WAS SAFE TO DRIVE. THE SERVICE REP CLAIMED TO HAVE NEVER HEARD OF THIS ISSUE AND ATTRIBUTED IT TO A TIRE BALANCE PROBLEM, ALTHOUGH I ASSURED HIM IT WAS NOT. WHEN I ARRIVED AT MY DESTINATION, I RESEARCHED THE ISSUE ON THE INTERNET AND FOUND A PROBLEM CALLED "JEEP DEATH WOBBLE" THAT PERFECTLY DESCRIBES MY EXPERIENCES. VIDEOS POSTED ON YOUTUBE ALSO MATCHED WHAT HAD OCCURRED. I PLAN TO TAKE MY JEEP IN FOR SERVICE WHEN I RETURN HOME. DATE LISTED BELOW IS MOST RECENT INCIDENT AND THE DAY I CONTACTED THE DEALERSHIP.

Mileage: 22,231

WHILE DRIVING ON HIGHWAY AT HIGHWAY SPEED AND CHANGING LANES JEEP HIT SMALL BUMP IN THE ROAD AND STARTED SHAKING VIOLENTLY. STEERING WHEEL HAD TO BE HELD FIRMLY TO MAINTAIN CONTROL. THE PROBLEM WAS RESOLVED BY SLOWING DOWN TO BELOW 40 MPH. PRIOR TO THIS INCIDENT JEEP WAS BEING FLAT TOWED BY A MOTOR HOME. WE THOUGHT A BACK TIRE OF THE MH HAD BLOWN. WE PULLED OFF AT THE NEXT EXIT, UPON INSPECTION NO ISSUES WITH THE MOTOR HOME. WE SUSPECT IT WAS THE SHAKING OF THE JEEP THAT WAS SHAKING THE MOTOR HOME.

ANY DESCRIPTION OF THE JEEP DEATH WOBBLE I HAVE READ IS EXACTLY WHAT I AM EXPERIENCING. I EXPERIENCED MY FIRST INCIDENT WHILE DRIVING MY 2018 JEEP WRANGLER UNLIMITED THAT I HAD PURCHASED TWO MONTHS EARLIER. AT HIGHWAY SPEED'S BETWEEN 70 AND 75 MILES AN HOUR IF THE VEHICLE HITS A BUMP OR A JOINT IN A BRIDGE WELL OFTEN BEGIN TO WOBBLE AND BECOME ALMOST VIOLENCE. IT WILL SUBSIDE PLAN DECREASING SPEED OR HOLDING THE SPEED FOR ABOUT A MILE OR SO. I BROUGHT IT IN TO THE JEEP SERVICE DEPARTMENT AND THEY SAID THEY SEE NOTHING WRONG WITH THE VEHICLE. I AM AT THE POINT NOW WHERE I CAN ALMOST MAKE IT HAPPEN ON COMMAND. MY NEXT STEP IS TO BRING THE MECHANIC IN FOR A TEST DRIVE WITH ME. FROM WHAT I'VE READ I EXPECT NOTHING TO BE DONE TO HELP ME OUT. I WILL ALSO NOTE THAT THERE ARE NO MODIFICATIONS WHATSOEVER TO MY CAR.

Mileage: 2,200

WE HAVE A LOOSE/PLAY IN THE STEERING ON OUR 2018 JEEP WRANGLER JL RUBICON, MOSTLY AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS, IT'S DIFFICULT TO KEEP THE VEHICLE IN IT'S LANE WHEN DRIVING, IT REQUIRES CONSTANT STEERING WHEEL CORRECTION TO KEEP THE VEHICLE GOING IN A STRAIGHT LINE, IT FEELS LIKE THE STEERING WHEEL HAS TO MUCH PLAY BETWEEN TURNING THE WHEEL AND THE TIRES TURNING. WE HAVE HAD IT TO OUR LOCAL DEALER HERE IN JACKSONVILLE, FL AND THEY HAVEN'T BEEN ABLE TO RESOLVE THIS ISSUE.

WELL DRIVING AT FREEWAY SPEEDS WHENEVER I WOULD HIT THE SLIGHTEST BUMP IN THE ROAD MY STEERING WOULD SHAKE VIOLENTLY AND WOULD ONLY STOP WHEN I APPLIED THE BRAKES TO GET UNDER 40 MILES PER HOUR AT HIGHWAY SPEED THIS OCCURS WHICH ALMOST CAUSES THE CAR BEHIND YOU TO REAR END YOU. ALSO KNOWN AS THE DEATH WOBBLE

Mileage: 16,000

THE JEEP BEGINS TO SHAKE AND EVENTUALLY WOBBLE AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. THE ONSET IS QUICKLY AND DOES NOT TYPICALLY GO AWAY WITHOUT DRASTIC REDUCTION IN SPEED. IT HAS HAPPENED 4 TIMES IN THE PAT WEEK. I HAVE A VIDEO SHOWING THE EVENT BUT AM UNABLE TO UPLOAD. IT STARTS WITH A SMALL SHAKING AND THEN INCREASES IN INTENSITY TO A ROCKING OF THE VEHICLE WITH STEERING STABILITY ISSUES.

Mileage: 10

WHEN DRIVING ABOVE 50 MPG, THE JEEP WOULD SHAKE VIOLENTLY AFTER HITTING POTHOLE. THE STEERING WHEEL, AND FRONT END RATTLE, AND THE WHEEL WOBBLE, FEELING LIKE THEY ARE GOING TO FALL OFF THE CAR. IT ONLY STOPS WHEN YOU SLOW THE VEHICLE DOWN BELOW 40-50MPS.

ON SEPTEMBER 14, 2018, I LEASED MY BRAND NEW JEEP JL SAHARA 2018. I SIGNED UP FOR JEEP APP AND IMMEDIATELY NOTICED A RECALL FOR MY CAR - 2018 JL TRACK BAR WELD, RAISING CONCERN. ON OCTOBER 21, 2018, WITH LESS THAN 1000 MILES, I WAS DRIVING ON LOCAL HIGHWAY AT @ 60MPH, HIT A BUMP AND MY ENTIRE STEERING/FRONT OF CAR BEGAN VIOLENTLY SHAKING. I IMMED. SLOWED DOWN TO HOPE RE-ALIGN AND GAIN CONTROL OF STEERING/CAR. IT WAS THE MOST FRIGHTENING EXPERIENCE AS I WAS GOING 60, HAD TO SLOW TO 35, WHILE OTHERS WERE SPEEDING UP BEHIND ME, IN ADDITION TO BEING SCARED & FEELING UNSAFE IN AN OUT OF CONTROL CAR. I CALLED JEEP DOWNINGTOWN IMMED. ON 10/22 TO BRING CAR IN THAT WEEK - 10/26. I LOOKED IT UP AND CLEARLY IS THE KNOWN ISSUE CALLED THE "DEATH WOBBLE". ON 10/25, AGAIN ON HIGHWAY @ 65-70 MPH, I HIT A BUMP, EXPERIENCED A YET WORSE VIOLENT SHAKING/OUT OF CONTROL STEERING OF MY CAR. I PULLED OVER AS COULD NOT GAIN CONTROL SLOWING DOWN. I GOT BACK ON HIGHWAY ONLY TO EXPERIENCE IT YET AGAIN! I WAS SHAKING, SCARED AS I COULD HAVE BEEN KILLED IN ADDITION TO OTHERS!! I IMMED. CALLED JEEP DT AND BROUGHT CAR INTO SERVICE. IT IS NOW 28 DAYS AND MY CAR IS STILL IN SERVICE!!!. MY EXPERIENCE WITH THE DEALER HAS BEEN NOTHING BUT A NIGHTMARE. THEY TRIED 1) RECALL, 2) SERVICE SOFTWARE BULLETIN UPDATE, 3) STEERING STABILZER PART AND 4) TIE ROD PART, NONE FIXED PROBLEM. I LAST HEARD FROM THEM ON 11/9 WHEN THEY ORDERED TIE ROD - 13 DAYS AGO, UNACCEPTABLE! I FILED A CASE WITH JEEP CHRYSLER FCA ON 11/3- #57311328 AND HAVE HAD POOR RESPONSE. I HAVE DOCUMENTED EVERY DAY. I FILED COMPLAINT WITH PA ATTORNEY GENERAL, NO RESPONSE. I HAVE CONTACTED LEMON LAW LAWYER AND WILL BE PURSING ACTION. ALL I WANT/DESERVE IS TO DRIVE A SAFE CAR, AS I'M PAYING FOR THAT! AS NHTSA I HOPE YOU CAN ENSURE JEEP TAKES THESE CARS OFF THE ROAD AND REFUNDS US TO ENSURE NO ONE GETS KILLED!

DEATH WOBBLE!!! MY BRAND NEW JEEP WITH ONLY 9400 MILES ON HER GOES INTO SUCH AN ALMOST UNCONTROLLABLE SHAKE WHEN ON HIGHWAY AFTER I HIT A BUMP. MY SPEED IS AT APPROX 65-70. DEALER TELLING ME NOT 'THEIR PROBLEM'

Mileage: 9,400

I BOUGHT THE JEEP OVER THE PHONE SO DID NOT DRIVE IT BEFORE PURCHASE. UPON TAKING DELIVERY I NOTICED IT SEEMED TO BE HARD TO KEEP IN MY LANE, BUT ATTRIBUTED THIS TO NOT BEING FAMILIAR WITH THE VEHICLE. THE MORE I DROVE THE VEHICLE I REALIZED IT WAS NOT NORMAL. IT WANDERS OR DRIFTS AND IS VERY HARD, IF NOT IMPOSSIBLE TO KEEP IN MY LANE. I TOOK TO THE JEEP DEALER AND WAS TOLD IT WAS NORMAL. I DID SOME ON LINE RESEARCH AND DISCOVERED THAT MANY OWNERS OF THIS PRODUCT ARE HAVING SIMILAR PROBLEMS. THE DEALER HERE ACKNOWLEDGES THEY ARE HAVING A LOT OF COMPLAINTS BUT NOTHING THEY CAN DO. I CONTACTED JEEP AND THEY HAD ME TAKE IT BACK TO CHECK TIGHTNESS OF STEERING COMPONENTS AND ALIGN THE FRONT END. THIS DID NOT HELP AT ALL. CONTACTED JEEP AGAIN AND WAS TOLD SOMEONE WOULD BE CALLING ME BACK. NO ONE DID. THIS VEHICLE IS UNSAFE TO DRIVE. IF YOU LOOK AT COMPLAINTS ONLINE YOU WILL SOON DISCOVER THAT JEEP IS AWARE OF THE ISSUE, BUT DOING NOTHING. SOMEONE IS GOING TO GET HURT. I, MANY TIMES HAVE DRIFTED INTO THE LANE NEXT TO ME AND THERE IS SO MUCH PLAY IN THE STEERING THAT IT IS HARD TO CORRECT. WHEN I GO OVER A NARROW BRIDGE A TRY TO STAY AS FAR FROM SIDE OF BRIDGE TO AVOID HITTING THE SIDE OF THE BRIDGE. I HAVE HAD MANY OTHERS DRIVE THE VEHICLE TO VERIFY WHAT I AM SAYING AND EVERY PERSON HAS HAD AN ALARMED RESPONSE. THE VEHICLE IS UNSAFE TO DRIVE, AND JEEP KNOWS IT.

'DEATH WOBBLE' THIS HAS NOW HAPPENED MULTIPLE TIMES WHEN TRAVELING ON THE HIGHWAY. WHEN I AM OVER 70MPH AND HIT A BUMP THE STEERING WHEEL SHAKES VIOLENTLY UNTIL I SLOW DOWN. I ALMOST FEEL LIKE I AM GOING TO LOSE CONTROL AND HAVE HAD TO PULL OVER ON THE SIDE OF THE HIGHWAY TO GET THIS TO CORRECT ITSELF. THIS NEEDS FIXED.

Mileage: 20,070

'DEATH WOBBLE' EXPERIENCED AGAIN. TRAVELING OVER 70MPH ON THE PA TURNPIKE AND HIT A SMALL BUMP WHEN MY STEERING WHEEL BEGAN TO SHAKE VIOLENTLY. I HAD TO PULL OFF THE SIDE OF THE RODE TO FIX THE PROBLEM. I HAVE A STOCK 2018 JEEP WRANGLER UNLIMITED SAHARA. I HAD A STOCK 2015 JEEP WRANGLER UNLIMITED SAHARA PRIOR TO THIS AND NEVER EXPERIENCED THIS ISSUE. IT IS VERY DANGEROUS.

Mileage: 19,999

I HAVE APPROXIMATELY 6,000 MILES ON MY BRAND NEW 2018 JL WRANGLER RUBICON THAT HAS THE MOPAR FACTORY 2" LIFT, INSTALLED BY THE DEALER. THE MOPAR LIFT WAS INSTALLED APPROPRIATELY, BUT YET THE SPRINGS ARE CURVED, BENT, AND NOT STRAIGHT. CHRYSLER PUT OUT A STATEMENT THAT THIS IS NORMAL, AS BASICALLY ALL MOPAR LIFT INSTALLED ON THE NEW JL WRANGLER HAS BENT SPRINGS. THIS IS ONLY THE BEGINNING, BECAUSE NOW MY BRAND NEW JL WRANGLER HAS DEATH WOBBLE. IF YOU ARE IN A VEHICLE THAT HAS DEATH WOBBLE, YOU WOULD KNOW WHY THEY CALL IT DEATH WOBBLE. AT VARYING SPEEDS, MOSTLY IN THE 35 TO 45MPH RANGE, A SMALL BUMP ON THE ROAD CAUSES THE STEERING WHEEL AND THE TIRES TO VIOLENTLY AND UNCONTROLLABLY GO BACK AND FORTH. THE ONLY WAY TO STOP THIS IS TO BRAKE AND SLOW DOWN QUICKLY. AS YOU CAN IMAGINE, IF SOMEONE IN FRONT OF YOU BRAKES SUDDENLY, IT CAN BE VERY DANGEROUS. THE DEALERSHIP WILL NOT FIX THE LIFT AS THEY SAY CURVED SPRINGS ARE NORMAL. THEY DIAGNOSED THE MAIN PROBLEM TO BE A STEERING STABILIZER, WHICH IS NO BACK ORDER. SO, A COMPANY MAKES A DEFECTIVE PRODUCT THAT PUTS THE GENERAL PUBLIC IN DANGER, AND THEIR PART TO FIX THE PROBLEM IS ON BACK ORDER. THE STEERING STABILIZER, ACCORDING TO MECHANICS IS A BAND AID FIX AND REALLY DOESN'T FIX THE MAIN PROBLEM. EVEN THE "JEEP GUY" AT THE DEALERSHIP INDICATED THAT IT ISN'T A STEERING STABILIZER.

Mileage: 6,000

WHEN DRIVING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS AND YOU HIT A BUMP THE JEEP WILL INTERMITTENTLY BEGIN TO VIOLENTLY SHAKE AND THE ONLY WAY TO STOP IT IS TO SLOW DOWN ALMOST TO A STOP.

WHILE TRAVELING AT SPEEDS ABOVE 25 MPH, THE JEEP IS VERY LOOSE STEERING AND REQUIRES CONSTANT ADJUSTMENT TO THE STEERING WHEEL TO DRIVE STRAIGHT.

I HAVE A NEW JEEP WRANGLER JL. I JUST RECENTLY HAVE NOTICED THAT A HIGH SPEEDS 55 AND ABOVE THAT MY VEHICLE WOBBLES AND WONT HOLD A STRAIGHT LINE. ALSO WHEN I HIT A BUMP MY STEERING WHEEL MOVES FROM RIGHT TO LEFT OR LEFT TO RIGHT IN A SHAKING MOTION

Mileage: 7,200

DRIVING AT 60 MPH IN THE INTERSTATE I-79, AFTER GOING THROUGH A SMALL ROAD BUMP, SEVERE SHAKING OF THE STEERING SYSTEM TOOK PLACE (STEERING WHEEL AND WHOLE VEHICLE), WHICH ONLY WENT AWAY BY SLOWLY BRAKING DOWN TO REDUCE THE SPPED. THE CAR HAS ABOUT 7,500 MILES ONLY AND I HAVE EXPERIENCED WOBBLE STEERING, 3 TIMES IN SIMILAR CONDIIONS BETWEEN 55 AND 65 MPH. EACH TIME I WAS DRIVING ON A FLAT STRAIGHT LINE.

Mileage: 7,500

I HAVE HAD THE "DEATH WOBBLE" SINCE MAY. I'VE GONE THROUGH 3 STABILIZERS, ALL ON MY DIME, BECAUSE MY ORIGINAL STABILIZER WAS DAMAGED. HAVE TAKEN MY JEEP TO TWO DEALERS AND TWO OFFROAD SHOPS. THE OFFROAD SHOPS INSIST NOTHING IS WRONG WITH MY LIFT, AND IT'S AN FCA ISSUE. DEALER DOES NOT TAKE IT SERIOUSLY BECAUSE OF THE LIFT, AND TELLS ME TO REPLACE STABILIZER. THE "ISSUE" IS CAUSING ME TO GO THROUGH MULTIPLE STABILIZERS AS THEY GO BAD ATTEMPTING TO PREVENT THE "DEATH WOBBLE"

Mileage: 7,000

MY NEW WRANGLER JL, APPROXIMATELY 6500 MILES ON IT, IS EXPERIENCING THE SAME ISSUE OTHERS HAVE DESCRIBED ON THESE NEW VEHICLES WITH THE "DEATH WOBBLE." THE FIRST TIME IT HAPPENED, I WAS ON THE FREEWAY AND CROSSED OVER A BRIDGE. AS THE VEHICLE WENT OVER THE BUMP WHERE THE BRIDGE MEETS THE PAVEMENT, THE CAR STARTED SHAKING VIOLENTLY. I ASSUMED I HAD A FLAT TIRE AND STARTED TO PULL OVER. AS SOON AS MY CAR WENT BELOW 50 MPH, THE WOBBLE STOPPED. IT HAPPENS EVERY TIME I DRIVE ON THE FREEWAY NOW, ALTHOUGH NOT EVERY TIME I HIT A BUMP. THE MOST RECENT TIME WAS TODAY WHEN IT SHOOK AT ITS MOST VIOLENT PACE YET, AND I WAS ACTUALLY ONLY GOING ABOUT 55MPH WHEN IT HAPPENED. I BELIEVE IT IS GETTING WORSE. WHEN IT FIRST HAPPENED, I WAS ON A THREE HOUR DRIVE AND IT ONLY HAPPENED TWICE. ON THE WAY BACK, IT HAPPENED 3 TIMES. SINCE THEN, IT FEELS LIKE IT HAPPENS EVERY TIME I GET ON THE FREEWAY, AND USUALLY I'M ONLY ON THE FREEWAY FOR 5 MINUTES AT MOST. I HAVE HAD THE CAR SINCE JUNE. IT DIDN'T HAPPEN AT ALL UNTIL NOVEMBER 2ND AND NOW IT HAPPENS ALL THE TIME. THE WOBBLE CAN BE VERY SIGNIFICANT AND THERE IS NO WAY THIS VEHICLE IS NOT SUSTAINING DAMAGE WITH THAT KIND OF WOBBLE, NOT TO MENTION IT SCARES ME WHEN IT HAPPENS AND I'M CLOSE TO OTHER CARS ON THE FREEWAY AT 65+MPH. WHEN I'M GOING AT FREEWAY SPEEDS, SLOWING DOWN SIGNIFICANTLY CAN CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. IT IS NOT DRIVABLE FOR MORE THAN A FEW MOMENTS WHEN IT IS WOBBLING SO SIGNIFICANTLY, THE DRIVER HAS TO SLOW DOWN.

Mileage: 5,500

ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS MY 2018 JEEP WRANGLER JLU HAS EXPERIENCED STEERING WOBBLE WHILE TRAVELING ON THE HIGHWAY AT 60+ MPH AFTER HITTING A BUMP SUCH AS A BRIDGE JOINT. THE WOBBLE MAKES IT DIFFICULT TO MAINTAIN CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE UNTIL SPEED IS REDUCED. MY JEEP IS UNMODIFIED AND HAS AROUND 3000 MILES ON IT.

Mileage: 3,300

VEHICLE EXHIBITS VAGUE, WANDERING STEERING. IT COULD BE DESCRIBED AS JITTERY UNDER CERTIAN CONDITIONS LIKE BUMPY ROADS WHILE PASSING TRUCKS. MORE ALARMING IS THE SO CALLED DEATH WOBBLE THAT OCCURS UNDER CERTAIN CONDITIONS WHILE TRAVELING AT HIGH SPEED ON HIGHWAYS AND WILL NOT SUBSIDE UNTIL THE VEHICLE SPEED IS REDUCED DRASTICALLY TO AN UNSAFE SPEED FOR INTERSTATE TRAVEL.

Mileage: 2,600

WE BOUGHT THIS JEEP SUV IN MAY 2018 AND FROM THE ACQUISITION DATE WE NOTICED A PRONOUNCED AND DANGEROUS SHAKING OF THE WHEELS, STEERING WHEEL. AND BODY OF THE VEHICLE EVERY TIME A ROAD BUMP OR UNEVEN PAVEMENT IS ENCOUNTERED WHEN DRIVING 55 MPH AND ABOVE. FOR THE SHAKING TO STOP WE HAVE TO SLOW TO UNSAFE SPEEDS BELOW 50 MPH ON THE HIGHWAY.

Mileage: 300

WHEN TRAVELING ON THE HIGHWAY OVER 70MPH I HIT A SMALL BUMP AND MY STEERING WHEEL BEGAN TO SHAKE VIOLENTLY AND UNCONTROLLABLY. IT FORCED ME TO SLOW DOWN UNTIL THE SHAKING STOPPED.

Mileage: 18,752

VEHICLE HITS SMALL BUMP IN ROAD (HAPPENS WHILE ON SIDE STREETS AND HIGHWAYS) AND STEERING WHEEL/TIRES BEGIN TO SHAKE VIOLENTLY. MUST SLOW VEHICLE SIGNIFICANTLY TO STOP SHAKING. FEELS AS THOUGH I HAVE A FLAT TIRE OR A TIRE IS ABOUT TO COME LOOSE.

Mileage: 8,000

AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS, GOING OVER ANY BRIDGE TRANSITION OR SEAM RESULTS IN AN ALMOST UNCONTROLLABLE SHAKING IN THE FRONT END THAT CAN ONLY BE STOPPED BY SLOWING DOWN TO ABOUT 40 MPH. THIS IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS IN TRAFFIC AT HIGHWAY SPEED.

Mileage: 1,500

EXCESSIVE VIBRATION ON THE DRIVER SIDE OF THE VEHICLE WHEN HITTING THE SMALLEST OF BUMPS. DOES NOT NECESSARILY NEED TO BE AT HIGH RATE OF SPEED. STARTED ABOUT 2 WEEKS AGO WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY AT 70 MILES PH. DO NOT RECALL HITTING ANY BUMP. BROUGHT IN TO DEALERSHIP 11/16 - THEY COULD NOT DUPLICATE AND FOUND NOTHING WRONG. ONLY HAS 10K MILES. HAS OCCURRED 4 TIMES IN TOTAL.

MY JEEP WRANGLER IS BRAND NEW. BOUGHT IN SEPTEMBER 2018 AND DEFINITELY HAS THE DEATH WOBBLER. I HAVE READ OTHER SIMILAR COMPLAINTS WHERE GOING OVER AN ORDINARY BUMP AT 70MPH. GIVES YOU THE WOBBLE. ONE CANNOT TOTALLY AVOID THIS SPEED ON THE HIGHWAY IN TODAY'S TRAFFIC. IN MY OPINION THIS SHOULDN'T HAPPEN TO A VEHICLE SO NEW. WITH REGULAR ISSUED TIRES AND NO LIFT OR ANYTHING. IT IS JUST AS I RECEIVED IT

Mileage: 1,837

AFTER READING THE ARTICLE ON USA TODAY ABOUT THE "DEATH WOBBLE" I THOUGHT I SHOULD REPORT THAT I EXPERIENCE THE SAME THING EVERYDAY ON MY MORNING COMMUTE. I TAKE 131 SOUTH IN GRAND RAPIDS AND IT HAPPENS AT THE SAME LOCATION EACH MORNING,.

Mileage: 16,000

IF I HIT A BUMP AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS, THE STEERING WHEEL AND ENTIRE FRONT END BUMP VIOLENTLY UNTIL I REDUCE SPEED BELOW 40 MILES PER HOUR. AT THAT POINT THE SHAKING STOPS. DURING THIS SHAKING THE CAR IS VERY DIFFICULT TO STEEER OR CONTROL. MY JEEP IS NEW AND IT BEGAN AT 2000 MILES (MAYBE THE FIRST TIME I TRAVELED ON THE HIGHWAY) AND STILL OCCURS. I NOW HAVE 6000 MILES. THE TIRES ARE SET TO THE PROPER PRESSURE AND I HAVE NOT DONE ANY MODIFICATIONS.

Mileage: 2,000

I WAS DRIVING ON A HIGHWAY, ABOUT 70 MPH AND WENT OVER BUMP ON A BRIDGE. THE STEERING WHEEL STARTED SHAKING FOR ABOUT 3 SECONDS AND STOPPED AS I LET OFF THE GAS. I WENT OVER THE NEXT BRIDGE AND IT DID THE SAME THING. THIS IS THE 1ST TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED TO ME , THE VEHICLE ONLY HAS 5300 MILES ON IT.

Mileage: 5,300

DEATH WOBBLE. STEERING WHEEL SHAKES AFTER HITTING A BUMP, USUALLY AT A LOWER SPEED. 30-60 MPH. SOMETIMES SLOWING DOWN IS REQUIRED TO STOP THE SHAKING. NOT SAFE.

Mileage: 4,000

WHEN DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AT SPEEDS AROUND 70-75 MPH THE VEHICLE WILL HIT A BUMP AND THE STEERING AND JEEP WILL START SHAKING VIOLENTLY FOR 3-6 SECONDS OR UNTIL VEHICLE SLOWS DOWN. AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS THIS IS A LONG DISTANCE. DRIVING IS UNSAFE WHEN THIS OCCURS. ONE PLACE IN PARTICULAR IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS IS A BRIDGE TRANSITION ON PELLISSIPPI PARKWAY THE BRIDGE TRANSITION IS ON AN UPHILL TURN AND IT IS HARD TO KEEP THE STEERING WHEEL IN THE CORRECT PLACEMENT TO STAY IN THE LANE. THERE IS A BARRIER ON ONE SIDE AND TRAFFIC ON THE OTHER. THE STEERING WHEEL IS SHAKING AND THE ENTIRE JEEP IS SHAKING. THE PROBLEM STARTED OCCURRING WITH 14,000 MILES ON THE JEEP

Mileage: 13,600

WHEN DRIVING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS (ABOUT 55MPH-70MPH) IF THE JEEP HITS A MINOR BUMP, IT WILL VIOLENTLY SHAKE. BOTH THE STEERING WHEEL, WHEELS AND THE ENTIRE CAR ARE AFFECTED. YOU CAN NOTICE THE VIOLENT SHAKING/VIBRATIONS FROM OUTSIDE THE CAR. THE ONLY WAY THE SHAKING STOPS IS BY SLOWING DOWN SIGNIFICANTLY. IT HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES SINCE I'VE HAD THE CAR, WHICH IS ONLY A FEW MONTHS OLD AND IS STOCK. NOTHING IS LIFTED OR MODIFIED.

Mileage: 6,000

14000 MILES. PURCHASED IN MARCH. EXPERIENCING DEATH WOBBLE AT SPEEDS OVER 67MPH AND DRIVING OVER A POT HOLE, BRIDGE CONNECTION OR SOMETHING IN THE ROAD. HAS ALMOST CAUSED 2 ACCIDENTS. DEALER CANNOT DIAGNOSE BUT THINKS IT COULD BE STEERING STABILIZER, CAMBER, STEERING BOX. NO PARTS WILL BE AVAILABLE UNTIL 2019.

Mileage: 14,400

THIS WRANGLER CANNOT BE KEPT IN STRAIGHT PATH WHEN TRAVELING EITHER AT LOW OR HIGH SPEEDS. THERE IS AN EXCESSIVE AMOUNT OF "PLAY" IN THE STEERING WHEEL AMPLIFIED BY HIGHER WINDS AND CROSS TRAFFIC. THIS "WANDERING" REQUIRES CONSTANT STEERING CORRECTION RESULTING IN A CONTINUOUS STRUGGLE TO MAINTAIN CONTROL.

Mileage: 800

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2018 JEEP WRANGLER. WHILE DRIVING OVER 60 MPH, THE FRONT END OF THE VEHICLE AND THE STEERING WHEEL SHOOK AND VIBRATED VIOLENTLY. THE FAILURE OCCURRED AFTER THE VEHICLE WAS DRIVEN OVER A BUMP IN THE ROAD OR WHEN THERE WAS A CHANGE IN THE ROAD SURFACE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE LOCAL DEALER (AUTO WORLD CHRYSLER JEEP, 1370 AUTO CENTER DR, PETALUNA, CA) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE TIRES WERE FAULTY. THE TIRES WERE REPLACED, BUT THE FAILURE CONTINUED TO OCCUR. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN BACK TO THE DEALER WHO THEN DIAGNOSED THAT THE STEERING DAMPER WAS FAULTY AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 2,800.

Mileage: 2,800

WHILE OPERATING THE VEHICLE, THE POWER STEERING APPEARS TO STOP WORKING AND THE VEHICLES STEERING WHEEL GETS HARDER TO TURN AND REQUIRES MORE EFFORT TO TURN THE WHEEL. THEN IT UNEXPECTEDLY GETS FREE OR LOOSE AND CAUSES THE OPERATOR TO SUDDENLY OVER CORRECT THE STEERING.

Mileage: 5,300

DRIVING HOME ON THE FREEWAY TONIGHT, ABOUT 70 MPH. WENT TO MAKE A LANE CHANGE, BUT THE STEERING BECAME VERY STIFF'COULD BARELY MAKE THE LANE CHANGE. AS QUICK AS IT CAME, IT DISAPPEARED. THEN GOT STIFF AGAIN, THEN DISAPPEARED AND DID NOT RETURN FOR THE REST OF MY DRIVE. VERY VERY SCARY.

Mileage: 5,700

2018 JEEP JLU RUBICON. 11,000 MILES. STEERING HAS STARTED RANDOMLY LOCKING UP OR GETS VERY STIFF. ONLY HAPPENS FOR MAYBE A HALF SECOND OR SO AT A TIME. IF I DECREASE SPEED STEERING FUNCTION SEEMS TO RETURN TO NORMAL. OCCURS RANDOMLY AND I CANNOT DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM. SEEMS TO HAPPEN WHEN JEEP IS WARMING UP FROM COLD AND AT SPEEDS AROUND 60MPH.

Mileage: 11,000

VEHICLE STEERING BINDS UP WHILST ENTERING A TURN. THE EFFECT IS SCARY AND ALARMING, IMAGINE DRIVING AND THE ROAD MAKES A TURN, YOU START TO APPLY PRESSURE TO THE STEERING WHEEL TO NAVIGATE THE TURN, BUT RATHER THAN EXECUTING A NICE SMOOTH TURN, THE STEERING IS UNRESPONSIVE. IN FACT THE STEERING WHEEL FEELS LIKE IT IS LOCKED AND WILL NOT MOVE CAUSING EXTREME STRESS, ANXIETY, AND THE FEAR THAT YOU WILL BE IN AN ACCIDENT. THIS HAS HAPPENED TO ME 6 OR MORE TIMES. IT HAS HAPPENED WHILST TURNING LEFT AND TURNING RIGHT. USUALLY OCCURS WHILE DRIVING AT FREEWAY SPEEDS.

Mileage: 9,800

WAS DRIVING AT 9:30 AM ON ELDORADO PARKWAY IN FRISCO TX, OUTSIDE AIR TEMPERATURE WAS ~ 45 DEG F. WHEN I ATTEMPTED TO TO TURN LEFT, THE STEERING WHEEL WAS INCREDIBLY TIGHT AND I NEARLY DRIFTED INTO THE LANE TO THE RIGHT. I CONTACTED THE CLOSEST DEALER IMMEDIATELY AND THEY ADVISED ME THAT THEY WERE NOT AWARE OF ANY ISSUE. LESS THAN 48 HOUR LATER THEY CONTACTED ME STATING THAT THERE WAS A BULLETIN AND THEY DID A SOFTWARE UPDATE TO CORRECT. ON THE INTERNET, I FOUND BULLETIN 08-092-18 THAT DESCRIBED THE ISSUE. GIVEN THE NATURE OF THE PROBLEM, I NO LONGER TRUST THIS VEHICLE.

Mileage: 8,000

WHEN TURNING ON CURVES STEERING WILL RANDOMLY LOCK AND THAN UNLOCK CAUSING OVER STEERING. ALSO WHEN GOING IN CURVES WITH BUMPS STEERING SHAKES UNCOMFORTABLE UNTIL YOU SLOW DONE. DOES NOT DO ALL THE TIME JUST RANDOM TIMES. I ALMOST LOST CONTROL ON FREEWAY WHEN THIS HAPPENED. ALSO WHEN STEERING LOCKED UP ON CURVE ALMOST WENT INTO DITCH THAN WHEN UNLOCKED ALMOST WENT INTO OTHER LANE I HAVE BROUGHT INTO DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID NOTHING WAS WRONG. BUT IT HAS DONE THIS AGAIN TO MY HUSBAND AND HE ALMOST HAD AN ACCIDENT. THIS HAS HAPPENED TO BOTH OF US.*DT CONSUMER STATED SHE HAD A STEERING PROBLEM.

BOUGHT THE 2018 WRANGLER 4 MONTHS AGO. WITHOUT WARNING AT TIMES, STEERING WHEEL SEIZES/LOCKS UP WHEN NAVIGATING A LEFT CURVE IN THE ROAD AT ABOUT 40 MPH. LASTS 2-3 SECONDS AND YOU MUST BRAKE QUICKLY AND TO GAIN CONTROL OF VEHICLE. WHEN IT LOCKS UP I CANNOT CONTROL THE VEHICLE. I DON'T KNOW HOW THIS HAS NOT BEEN ADDRESSED BY THE MANUFACTURER. CONTACTED DEALER AND MADE SERVICE APPOINTMENT AND THEY SAID THEY DIDN'T KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT STEERING ISSUES BUT WILL LOOK AT IT.

Mileage: 7,900

THE FIRST DAY I PURCHASED THE JEEP THERE WAS OBVIOUS STEERING WHEEL PLAY AS I DROVE HOME ON THE FREEWAY. THREE WEEKS LATER THE STEERING IS STILL LOOSE AND I AM CONCERNED THAT THERE WILL BE A CRASH. AT 70 MILES PER HOUR IT IS VERY NOTICEABLE THAT THE STEERING SYSTEM HAS TOO MUCH PLAY. IT SEEMS THAT THERE MAY BE A SCREW(S) LOOSE ON THE STEERING SHAFT OR A PROBLEM IN THE STEERING GEARBOX ITSELF. WHILE DRIVING YOU HAVE TO CONSTANTLY CORRECT THE STEERING DUE TO THE VEHICLE WANDERING FROM LANE-TO-LANE. THE SECOND PROBLEM OCCURRED TODAY AS THE DRIVERS SEAT BACK FAILS TO LOCK IN PLACE AFTER GETTING ITEMS OUT OF THE BACK SEAT AFTER LEAVING THE GROCERY STORE. THE SEAT BACK SIMPLY ROCKS BACK AND FORTH AS I ACCELERATE AND BRAKE. THE PROBLEM APPEARS TO BE WITH THE STRAP THAT ALLOWS THE SEAT TO BE TILTED. THIS STRAP AT THE BASE OF THE SEAT GOES INTO THE AIRBAG HOUSING FOR SIDE IMPACTS. THIS STRAP DOES NOT ENGAGE THE MECHANISM TO KEEP THE SEAT IN AN UPRIGHT POSITION.

THE VEHICLE DRIFTS DEPENDING ON SPEED AND ROAD CONDITIONS AND DOES NOT ALIGN ITSELF. THIS IS CURRENTLY UNSAFE ESPECIALLY WITH WINDY CONDITIONS. IN ADDITON, THIS VEHICLE HAS HAD ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS THAT HAVE AFFECTED BOTH THE START/STOP OR ECO MOOD NOT TO WORK AND CAUSES THE SCREEN TO FUNCTION SLOWLY IN A DELAYED MOTION.

Mileage: 200

THE VEHICLE WANDERS ALL OVER THE ROAD, FEELS LIKE YOU ARE DRIVING IN A WIND STORM. PLAY IN THE STEERING. WORSE AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS.

THE JEEP WANTS TO WANDER. IT IS NEXT TO IMPOSSIBLE TO HOLD A STRAIGHT LINE WHILE DRIVING. IT IS MOST NOTABLE AT HIGHWAY SPEED. CONSTANT CORRECTION IS NEEDED TO STAY IN YOUR DRIVING LANE. I PREVIOUSLY OWNED THREE JEEP JKS, 2007, 2012 AND 2015 MODELS AND DID NOT HAVE THIS PROBLEM.

I HAVE A BRAND NEW JEEP JLU WITH STREET TIRES AND NO LIFT. WHEN ON THE HIGHWAY, I STARTED FEELING THE STEERING WHEEL VIOLENTLY SHAKE. I SLOWED DOWN AND THE SHAKING STOPPED. THIS HAPPENED MULTIPLE TIMES. I CALLED THE GM OF THE DEALER I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE FROM AND HE ASKED IF I HAD EVER OWNED A JEEP BEFORE AND THAT THIS IS NORMAL. HE CALLED IT THE 'DEATH WOBBLE'. HE TOLD ME I WILL HAVE TO DEAL WITH IT BECAUSE IT HAPPENS. HE ALSO SAID I HAD TO BALANCE MY TIRES EVERY OIL CHANGE TO ENSURE IT DOESN'T HAPPEN AS OFTEN. THIS IS A SERIOUS CONCERN FOR ME AND MY FAMILY. THIS WAS NOT DISCLOSED PRIOR TO SALE AND WAS NOT MENTIONED IN THE MAINTENANCE REQUIREMENTS AND EXPECTED COSTS. I HAVE ASKED FOR THEM TO BUY BACK THE VEHICLE AND PAY BACK ALL PAYMENTS MADE. *DT*JB

Mileage: 9,000

FROM THE DAY THIS VEHICLE WAS NEW IT HAS HAD ERRATIC TRACKING DOWN THE ROAD THAT REQUIRES CONSTANT CORRECTIONS. WE HAVE HAD TWO DIFFERENT DEALERSHIPS LOOK AT IT & THEY CLAIM IT IS NORMAL.

I LET UP ON THE GAS, AND IT DIDN'T GO AWAY UNTIL I WAS DOWN TO AROUND 30 MPH. AS I WAS IN THE MIDDLE OF A BUSY MORNING COMMUTE I PUT ON MY FLASHERS TO SLOW DOWN AS I WATCHED ALL OF THE CARS BEHIND ME ALMOST CRASH TRYING TO SLOW DOWN. WHEN IT STOPPED I PULLED OVER ONE LANE WITH EVERYONE PASSING ME REALLY UPSET. LIKE I SAID, I DROVE 11K MILES WITH NO PROBLEMS AT ALL. NOW SINCE THAT HAPPENED IT HAPPENS EVERY TIME I HIT A BUMP DOING 65 MPH. I BROUGHT IT TO THE DEALER AND THEY CHECKED THE TIRE PRESSURE BUT FOUND NOTHING ELSE WRONG. I HAD READ ABOUT THE 'DEATH WOBBLE" AND ASKED ABOUT THAT BUT ALL PLAYED DUMB. ALSO, SINCE THAT HAS HAPPENED I AM FEELING THE DRIFTING IN THE STEERING WHEEL THAT OTHER ARE COMPLAINING ABOUT. THIS IS EXTREMELY UPSETTING AFTER PAYING GOOD MONEY TO NOT BE ABLE TO DRIVE SAFELY OVER 60 MPH. I AM NOT LETTING MY WIFE OR ANYONE DRIVE THE VEHICLE AND WOULD LOVE TO JUST BRING IT BACK.

AS A TRAINED FIRST RESPONDER, I WOULD BE HESITANT TO RECOMMEND THIS VEHICLE TO ANYONE DUE TO THE SAFETY RISKS POSED BY THE SUB-PAR STEERING.

WHILE TRYING TO MERGE INTO A HIGHWAY THE POWER STEERING TURNED OF AND I WAS UNABLE TO TURN THE WHEEL LEFT TO MERGE. I HAD TO FORCE IT TO GET INTO THE DRIVING LANE AND THEN THE POWER STEERING STARTED TO WORK AGAIN.

I'VE TAKEN TO THE DEALER AND THEY CAN'T FIND THE PROBLEM. I CAN'T AFFORD TO TRADE IT IN. BUT I DON'T WANT MY KIDS IN. PLEASE INVESTIGATE THIS BEFORE SOMEONE GETS KILLED. OTHERS HAVE ALREADY REPORTED THIS AND NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE. *DT UPDATED 11/29/18*JB

SAME COMPLAINT AS MANY OTHERS. THE STEERING HAS TOO MUCH PLAY AND DOES NOT RESPOND WELL. IT BECOMES WORSE AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. IT IS VERY HARD TO CONTROL BECAUSE IT WILL DRIFT THEN MAY OVER CORRECT WHEN YOU STEER TO MAINTAIN YOUR LANE. IT HAS DONE THIS SINCE DAY ONE.

Mileage: 3

LOOSE STEERING CAUSING VEHICLE DRIFTING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. I HAVE TO CONSTANTLY CORRECT THE VEHICLE FROM DRIFTING. EXTREME PLAY AND DEAD SPOTS IN STEERING WHEEL. THIS NEEDS TO HAPPEN IN ORDER TO MAINTAIN STRAIGHT LINE AND STAYING IN LANE. VEHICLE DRIFTS TOWARDS OTHER LANES AND VEHICLES WHICH IS VERY DANGEROUS TO DRIVE. REQUIRES DRIVER TO CORRECT STEERING WHEEL TO STAY IN LANE CONSTANTLY.&#65279;

Mileage: 4,000

THE VEHICLE HAS EXCESSIVE PLAY IN THE STEERING. AS A RESULT, THE VEHICLE WANDERS AND EXCESSIVE STEERING WHEEL TRAVEL IS REQUIRED TO BRING THE VEHICLE BACK TO THE CENTER OF THE LANE. THIS OCCURS WHEN THE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION AND WHEN TRAVELING AT BOTH CITY AND HIGHWAY SPEEDS. IT IS A CONSTANT STRUGGLE TO KEEP THE VEHICLE CENTERED WHEN TRAVELING. THE ISSUE IS WORSE WHEN TRAVELING ON SLIGHTLY UNEVEN OR ABOVE NORMAL ROAD CROWN. THE STEERING WHEEL CAN BE CENTERED, OR CROOKED TO EITHER SIDE. THIS DEMONSTRATES THE EXCESSIVE PLAY IN THE WHEEL.

Mileage: 25

TL* THE CONTACT LEASED A 2018 JEEP WRANGLER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE STEERING WHEEL FELT EXTREMELY LOOSE WHILE MAKING TURNS OR DRIVING ABOVE 45 MPH. THE DEALER (HERITAGE CHRYSLER DODGE JEEP RAM PARKVILLE, 9219 HARFORD RD, PARKVILLE, MD 21234, 1-877-391-7850) WAS UNABLE TO DIAGNOSE THE FAILURE. THE DEALER INDICATED THAT THE MANUFACTURER HAD NOT YET DEVELOPED A SOFTWARE UPDATE FOR THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 18V343000 (STEERING). THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

VEHICLE SHAKES UNCONTROLLABLY BACK AND FORTH AFTER HITTING BUMP OR CHANGE IN PAVEMENT HEIGHT AT HIGHWAY SPEED (60 TO 70 MPH). THIS STARTED AFTER ROUGHLY 2800 MILES (6 WEEKS OF OWNERSHIP). THIS CAUSES A LOSS OF STEERING CONTROL AND FEELING THAT DRIVER WILL LOSE CONTROL OF VEHICLE. THIS HAS HAPPENED 4 TIMES IN LAST SIX DAYS. VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO DEALER WHO SAYS THEY CANNOT FIND PROBLEM OR RECREATE THIS LOSS OF STEERING CONTROL. AFTER HITTING BUMP YESTERDAY THE ONLY THING THAT STOPPED BACK AND FORTH SHAKING WAS TO PULL TO SIDE OF INTERSTATE HIGHWAY. THIS SITUATION IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS. WHILE THIS LOSS OF STEERING CONTROL AND SHAKING DOES NOT OCCUR AT SLOWER SPEEDS (YET), I BELIEVE THIS VEHICLE IS COMPLETELY UNSAFE TO DRIVE AND WILL EVENTUALLY CAUSE A SERIOUS CRASH IF IT CANNOT BE FIXED.

Mileage: 3,000

AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS OVER 70MPH, THE STEERING BECOMES VAGUE TO THE POINT OF A LOSS OF FINE CONTROL. WITHOUT STEERING INPUT AND WITHOUT SIGNIFICANT CROSS WINDS, THE FRONT WHEELS WILL STEER QUICKLY FROM LEFT TO RIGHT AND BACK. THE CHANGE IN DIRECTION IS SO DRASTIC THAT ONSTANT AND CAREFUL ATTENTION IS REQUIRED TO AVOID UNEXPECTED LANE CHANGES. I'VE OWNED TWO OTHER WRANGLERS (2000 AND 2007) AND THIS IS NOT A CONDITION BASED ON STEERING GEOMETRY OR 4WD SYSTEMS. THIS IS A LIFE-THREATENINGLY DANGEROUS CONDITION AND REQUIRES IMMEDIATE GOVERNMENT OVERSIGHT AND INTERDICTION.

Mileage: 3,500

WHILE THE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION THE STEERING IS VERY LOOSE. YOU CAN MOVE THE STEERING WHEEL LEFT AND RIGHT ABOUT 4 INCHES IN PLAY AND THE WHEELS NEVER TURN AT ALL. THIS MAKES DRIFTING, ESPECIALLY AT HIGH SPEEDS, A HUGE SAFETY RISK. YOU MUST OVERCORRECT THE WHEEL IN ORDER TO STAY IN YOUR LANE WHILE DRIVING. THE CASTER NUT AND GEAR BOX NUT SEEM TO COME FROM THE FACTORY EXTREMELY LOOSE CAUSING THIS POTENTIALLY LIFE THREATENING SAFETY HAZARD.

MY VIN IS LISTED UNDER UA5 RECALL ABOUT THE TRACK BAR WELDS. I FEEL VERY UNCOMFORTABLE ABOUT THE POSSIBILITY THE WELDS ARE WEAK OR NOT DONE PROPERLY AND POSSIBLY BREAK OFF. I HAVE NOT HEARD BACK FROM JEEP/CHRYSLER/FCA AT ALL. AFTER CONTACTING THE DEALERSHIP, THEY HAD NOT IDEA THIS WAS AN ISSUE. I'M NOT CONCERNED ABOUT THE STEERING WHEEL FEELING 'LOOSE' AS OTHERS SAY. THE PLAY DOESN'T BOTHER ME. BUT THE WELD ISSUE IS A CONCERN. I LOOKED AT THEM VISUALLY BUT I'M NO EXPERT. WHILE THEY DON'T LOOK CLEAN I DON'T KNOW IF THEY'RE STRUCTURALLY SOUND.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2018 JEEP WRANGLER. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 18V675000 (STEERING); HOWEVER, THE PART TO DO THE REPAIR WAS UNAVAILABLE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE MANUFACTURER EXCEEDED A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME FOR THE RECALL REPAIR. WESTBURY JEEP CHRYSLER DODGE RAM (100 JERICHO TURNPIKE, JERICHO, NY 11753, (516) 336-4784) WAS MADE AWARE OF THE RECALL AND STATED THAT THE PARTS WERE UNAVAILABLE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE ISSUE AND PROVIDED THE CONTACT WITH CASE NUMBER: 57197558. THE CONTACT HAD NOT EXPERIENCED A FAILURE. PARTS DISTRIBUTION DISCONNECT.

THE STEERING IS HORRENDOUS! IT'S ALL OVER THE ROAD! WANDERS AND FEELS VERY LOOSE. WHEN DRIVING IT TAKES TOTAL CONCENTRATION TO STAY IN THE LANE. NON STOP CORRECTING.SOMETHING HAS TO BE CORRECTED NOTICED IT FROM DAY 1 . IT HAS ONLY 600 MILES ON IT SO FAR AND I AM SCARED TO DRIVE IT! GOING TO THE DEALER 10/15

GOT A RECALL NOTICE (UA5) FOR A BRAND NEW 2018 JEEP WRANGLER JL REGARDING POSSIBLE BAD FRAME WELDS. DEALERSHIPS DO NOT HAVE INSTRUCTIONS ABOUT HOW TO INSPECT THE WELDS OR WHAT TO DO IF AN ISSUE IS FOUND. NO CLEAR WAY TO DETERMINE IF THE VEHICLE IS SAFE TO DRIVE WITHOUT AN INSPECTION THAT THE DEALERSHIPS DON'T SEEM CAPABLE OF PERFORMING.

VEHICLE IS IMPOSSIBLE TO KEEP ON THE ROAD. STEERING HAS SO MUCH PLAY I HAVE ALMOST STRUCK THE GUARD RAILS AND/OR OTHER ADJACENT VEHICLES. ESPECIALLY ACUTE AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. FCA HAS REFUSED TO ADMIT A SEVERE SAFETY ISSUE EXISTS DESPITE THOUSANDS OF COMPLAINTS ON BLOGS AND ONLINE FORUMS. THERE IS 1 - 2 INCHES OR MORE OF PLAY IN STEERING THAT REQUIRES FATIGUING ATTENTION WHILE DRIVING TO KEEP THE VEHICLE IN ITS LANE. SHOCKING FCA HAS NOT HAD A RECALL DESPITE ONLINE POSTS WITH FIXES / ADJUSTMENTS TO THE STEERING BOX THAT HAVE SOLVED THE ISSUE. DEALERS REFUSE TO MAKE THE ADJUSTMENT BECAUSE IT I NOT AUTHORIZED BY FCA. PLEASE GET INVOLVED BEFORE SERIOUS ACCIDENTS OCCUR. I JUST SAW A RECALL WAS ISSUED FOR STEERING ON THIS MODEL DUE TO POOR FACTORY WELDS TO THE TRACK BAR. THIS IS A SEPARATE BUT STILL SERIOUS SAFETY CONTROL ISSUE. THIS HAPPENS (NOTICEABLE) TRAVELING ABOVE 30 MILES PER HOUR. FCA IS IN DENIAL -HELP!!! THEY WILL NOT MAKE THE ADJUSTMENT AT THE DEALER.

Mileage: 3,000

I HAVE NOT HAD AN ISSUE WITH THE FAULTY TRACK BAR WELD AS OF YET, BUT I AM ABSOLUTELY NOT DRIVING UNTIL A FIX/REPLACEMENT HAS OCCURRED. I HAVE 3 CHILDREN AND I HAVE TO THINK ABOUT THEIR SAFETY AND MINE. I CANNOT IMAGINE HOW THIS PROBLEM CAN BE SATISFACTORILY FIXED. OBVIOUSLY CANNOT PUT A BAND AID ON IT

Mileage: 1,000

AFTER PURCHASING MY JEEP RUBICON I NOTICE THAT THE VEHICLE STEERING WANDERED ON THE HIGHWAY. I WAS NOT ABLE TO KEEP THE VEHICLE STRAIGHT WITHOUT IT WANDERING FROM SIDE TO SIDE. TO MUCH PLAY IN THE STEERING WHEEL. I HAD LESS THAN 100 MILES. I SCHEDULED AN APPOINTMENT WITH THE JEEP DEALERSHIP TO HAVE IT INSPECTED. THE JEEP WAS INSPECTED AND I WAS TOLD THEY FOUND NO PROBLEM WITH IT, HOWEVER I DID SOME RESEARCH AND SOON LEARNED THAT OTHERS HAD BEEN EXPERIENCING THE THE SAME PROBLEM. TO FIX IT ONE OWNER TOOK HIS IN TO HIS DEALER AND THEY MADE AN ADJUSTMENT IN THE STEERING TO A ( -8 ) AND IT WENT AWAY, BUT IT MADE HIS STEERING HARDER TO TURN.

Mileage: 100

THE STEERING IS NOT RESPONSIVE AND HAS ABOUT A 1-2 INCH DEAD SPOT OF WIGGLE GAB BEFORE THE STEERING CAN RESPOND TO YOUR DRIVING

STEERING VERY HARD TO CONTROL AND KEEP STRAY... EXCESSIVE PLAY IN THE STEERING WHEEL CONTINOUSLY STEERING FROM 10-2 POSITION TO KEEP STRAIGHT... JERLS OFF TO ONE SIDE OR THE OTHER RANDOMLY... VERY UNSTABLE AND UNSAFE

Mileage: 10

FROM THE DAY I PICKED IT UP STEERING IS DANGEROUSLY LOOSE AT SPEEDS ABOVE 45 MPH. ON WINDING BACKROADS YOU HAVE TO STRUGGLE CONSTANTLY TO KEEP IN YOUR LANE. PEOPLE WILL DIE FROM THIS, IT IS THAT LOOSE. MY WIFE REFUSES TO DRIVE IT AFTER ONE TRIP. I CONTACTED JEEP AND THEY TOLD ME THERE WAS A TSB FOR MY JEEP. THE DEALERSHIP SAID NOTHING WAS WRONG AND WHEN I COMPLAINED ABOUT THE TSB THEY CLAIMED THEY DID IT. THERE IS NO DIFFERENCE IN THE STEERING. I JUST REACHED 2000 MILES. I CAN'T AFFORD TO JUST GET RID OF IT.

Mileage: 60

STEERING WHEEL OFF CENTER AND TRACKS LEFT TO RIGHT ON A STRAIGHT ROAD. STEERING CORRECTION IS CONSTANTLY REQUIRED TO MAINTAIN DIRECTIONAL STABILITY. BUILD DATE MARCH 2018.

WE MENTIONED TO DEALERSHIP SERVICE DEPARTMENT IMMEDIATLE AFTER PURCHASE AND WAS ADVISED STEERING SYSTEM WAS NOT CALIBRATED CORRECTLY AT FACTORY AND DEALER PROCEEDED TO REALIGN FRONT END. HOWEVER STEERING WHEEL IS NOW OFF CENTER IN OPOSITE DIRECTION. THEY ALSO INDICATED THAT OFF TRACKING IS SYMPTAMATIC WITH ALL TERRAIN TIRES.

SOON AFTER PURCHASING MY 2018 JL WRANGLER IN APRIL I BEGAN EXPERIENCING STEERING ISSUES. WHEN VEERING LEFT OR RIGHT TO CHANGE LANES, TAKE A CURVE, ETC. THE STEERING WHEEL WOULD 'LOCK' UP AND I'D NEED BOTH HANDS TO PULL IT BACK TO KEEP THE JEEP IN MY LANE. IT ONLY LASTS FOR A FEW SECONDS. I HAD RECEIVED NOTIFICATION THAT IT WAS TIME FOR MY FIRST MAINTENANCE APPOINTMENT AFTER PURCHASING THE JEEP, SO I CALLED TO SCHEDULE THAT AND ALSO TOLD THEM ABOUT THE STEERING ISSUE. ONE DAY PRIOR TO THE APPOINTMENT, MY DASHBOARD ALERT NOTIFIED ME TO "SERVICE THE ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL". SINCE I ALREADY HAD THE APPOINTMENT, I KNEW THIS COULD BE ADDRESSED AT THAT TIME. THEN A FEW DAYS LATER I RECEIVED THE SAFETY RECALL U48 FOR STEERING INTERMEDIATE SHAFT. I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP AND LET THEM KNOW THAT I HAD RECEIVED THE RECALL NOTICE AND THAT I ALREADY HAD AN APPOINTMENT SCHEDULED. I TOOK THE JEEP IN FOR THE APPOINTMENT AND THE PROBLEM APPEARED TO BE FIXED AT FIRST. THEN IT HAPPENED AGAIN ABOUT A MONTH LATER AND THEN AGAIN JUST THIS PAST WEEK. IT'S A SCARY SITUATION. THIS LAST OCCURRENCE I WAS TAKING A CURVE IN THE ROAD WITH TRAFFIC COMING THE OTHER DIRECTION. THE STEERING WHEEL 'LOCKED UP' AND I HAD TO FORCEFULLY USE BOTH HANDS TO PULL IT BACK INTO THE LANE.

HELLO.THIS IS REGARDING MY 2018 JEEP WRANGLER JL RUBICON. I HAVE BEEN READING EXTENSIVELY ABOUT THE FRAME WELDING RECALL (ISSUED 10/5/18) THAT UNFORTUNATELY DOES INCLUDE MY VEHICLE. WE SPENT OVER FIFTY FIVE THOUSAND DOLLARS ON THIS JEEP, AND ARE EXTREMELY DISAPPOINTED IN THE BUILD QUALITY. JUST TO MAKE SURE THAT THE WELDS ARE BAD, I LOOKED UNDER THE JEEP AND SEVERAL EXTREMELY IMPORTANT WELDS (SOME INVOLVING THE STEERING BRACKET) WERE NOT DONE PROPERLY, AND WILL FAIL. ALSO, SOME OF THE WELDS HAVE SEVERAL POCKS IN THEM AND WILL DEVELOP RUST. IF A WELD ISN'T DONE PROPERLY (OR REPAIRED) PROPERLY, IT WILL FAIL AND THAT FOR FCA TO RELEASE A VEHICLE, IN THIS CONDITION TO THE GENERAL PUBLIC IS DISGUSTING. I HAVE A WIFE AND A BABY ON THE WAY' MY WIFE NO LONGER FEELS SAFE IN OUR NEW JEEP. I AM WRITING YOU TO VOICE MY CONCERN AND WARN OTHERS ABOUT THIS UNSAFE VEHICLE. WE NO LONGER DRIVE THE JEEP AND IT SITS IN OUR DRIVEWAY. I CANNOT DRIVE A VEHICLE THAT MAY FAIL STRUCTURALLY AND INJURE OR KILL US.

Mileage: 5,500

TERRIBLE STEERING, DRIFTS WAY, WAY TOO MUCH. THERE IS APPROXIMATELY 1' OF PLAY TO LEFT AND RIGHT. IT IS DIFFICULT TO STAY IN LANE. DEALERSHIP DOESN'T KNOW WHAT TO DO. VEHICLE HAS LESS THAN 3000 MILES, IT'S A 2018 JEEP WRANGLER JL. THIS IS AN UNSAFE DRIVING CONDITION THAT'S NEEDS A REPAIR OR SOLUTION TO CORRECT BEFORE PEOPLE ARE SERIOUSLY INJURED.

Mileage: 1,200

STEERING IS VERY 'LOOSE' ESPECIALLY WITH HIGHWAY DRIVING AT INCREASED SPEEDS. SO MUCH SO THAT IT IS VERY SCARY WHEN CARS ARE IN THE NEXT LANE. THERE IS A LOT OF 'PLAY' IN THE STEERING REQUIRED TO KEEP THE VEHICLE STEADY IN THE LANE BUT EVEN SLIGHT CORRECTIONS CAUSE THE VEHICLE TO GO TOO FAR IN THE OTHER DIRECTION. THIS STARTED WITH MY DRIVE HOME FROM THE DEALERSHIP ON 8/25/18. I AVOID HIGHWAY DRIVING AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE. I HAVE NOT EXPERIENCED THIS ISSUE WITH OUR 2017 JEEP RUBICON.

Mileage: 95

THERE IS EXCESSIVE PLAY IN THE STEERING SYSTEM. THE STEERING SYSTEM ON THIS ALSO HAS EXCESSIVE WANDERING MAKING IT HARD TO ANTICIPATE WHERE THE JEEP IS GOING TO GO. THIS ISSUE GETS WORSE AS SPEED INCREASES. THE JEEP IS UNSAFE TO DRIVE AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS AND I HAVE ALMOST BEEN IN MULTIPLE WRECKS DUE TO IT. THE JEEP DEALER HAS NO FIX FOR THIS AND SAYS IT IS NORMAL. I WILL BE LOOKING FOR AFTERMARKET FIXES SO I CAN DRIVE MY $50K JEEP ON THE INTERSTATE WITHOUT HAVING TO WORRY ABOUT WRECKING AT ANY MOMENT.

SAME ISSUE AS MANY OTHERS: LOOSE STEERING ESPECIALLY AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS, AND DEAD SPOTS OFF CENTER. REQUIRES CONSTANT CORRECTION TO STAY IN LANE, WHICH AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS AND NEXT TO TRUCKS CAN BE TERRIFYING. FORMER WRANGLER JK OWNER, SO I KNOW IT'S NOT A "JEEP THING". SEEN MANY REPORTS OF LOSE BALL JOINTS, WEAK TRACK BAR WELDS, AND INCORRECT ALIGNMENTS, IN ADDITION TO THE NEW ALUMINUM GEARBOX, AS CONTRIBUTING TO THE ISSUE. JEEP NEEDS A COMPREHENSIVE STEERING FIX FOR THE JL, AND SOON. I BELIEVE THIS ISSUE STARTED FOR BUILDS AROUND APRIL AND LATER, IN RESPONSE TO REPORTS STEERING FOR SOME WAS LOCKING UP. I BELIEVE JEEP WENT THE OTHER DIRECTION AND SIMPLY MADE THE STEERING LOOSE INSTEAD OF FIXING THE ACTUAL LOCKUP ISSUE. JEEP MUST COME UP WITH A TRUE SOLUTION THAT RESULTS IN NO LOCK UPS AND TIGHT, RELIABLE, SOLID STEERING.

MY JEEP WRANGLER UNLIMITED JL, HAS 976 MILES ON IT. SINCE DAY 1, THE STEERING WHEEL HAS HAD A LOT OF PLAY (AN INCH OR MORE LEFT TO RIGHT). IT WILL NOT TRACK STRAIGHT AND IT WANDERS ON THE ROAD. IT IS DIFFICULT TO KEEP IT IN THE LANE WITHOUT A LOT OF CORRECTION. IT IS UNCOMFORTABLE AND IS UNSAFE. JEEP TECH AT DEALER SAID JEEP TOLD HIM THAT IT WAS PURPOSELY BUILT THAT WAY -- I THINK NOT! NO VEHICLE SHOULD HAVE THAT AMOUNT OF PLAY - IT IS UNSAFE. DRIVING BETWEEN TWO SIMIS ON I-285 IN ATLATA IS VERY SCRAY AS IT IS DIFFICULT TO KEEP THE JEEP IN THE LANE. DANGEROUS.

JEEP WANDERS ALL OVER THE ROAD LIKE STEERING IS LOOSE - HARD TO KEEP GOING IN A STRAIGHT LINE. FELT IT DURING TEST DRIVE BUT THOUGHT IT WAS "JUST A JEEP THING". AFTER DRIVING MANY MILES AND TALKING WITH OTHERS IT APPEARS IT IS NOT NORMAL. THOUSANDS OF REPORTS ABOUT IT ON VARIOUS FORUMS INCLUDING CAR AND DRIVER MAGAZINE. ACTUALLY FEELS LIKE JEEP IS OUT OF CONTROL AT TIMES. SCARY. DEALER CLAIMS NO ISSUE SINCE NO TSB/RECALL AND NOTHING THEY CAN DO ABOUT IT. THIS IS A SAFETY RISK!

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2018 JEEP WRANGLER. WHILE DRIVING AT HIGH SPEEDS, THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT STEER STRAIGHT WITHOUT MOVING THE STEERING WHEEL LEFT AND RIGHT.

VEHICLE HAS A DEAD SPOT IN STEERING. ABOUT 1 INCH FROM SIDE TO SIDE WHERE STEERING IS UNRESPONSIVE. ISSUE BECOMES PROGRESSIVELY WORSE AS SPEEDS INCREASE. AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS IT IS VERY DIFFICULT TO KEEP VEHICLE GOING STRAIGHT IN ONE LANE. STEERING REQUIRES NEAR CONSTANT INPUT AND OVER CORRECTION WHICH CAUSES MORE SWAYING. ANY DRIVING IS DIFFICULT TO WITH ONE HAND. WHEN ON HIGHWAY PASSING A LARGE TRUCK, THE LOOSE STEERING IS VERY DIFFICULT TO CONTROL AND MAKES THE VEHICLE UNSAFE TO DRIVE. DEALERSHIP SERVICE DEPARTMENT STATES THE STEERING AS NORMAL AND DRIVES SIMILAR TO NEW VEHICLES ON THE LOT. THERE ARE VIDEOS ON YOUTUBE DOCUMENTING THIS ISSUE WITH INDEPENDENT TECHNICIANS COMING UP WITH NON OEM ENDORSED REPAIRS. THE SERVICE ADVISOR STATES THAT THESE REPAIRS CAN NOT BE PERFORMED BECAUSE FCA HAS NOT AUTHORIZED ANY REPAIRS AND WOULD VOID WARRANTY. PLEASE INVESTIGATE SO THAT FCA CAN RECALL THESE VEHICLES FOR A SAFETY ISSUE THAT MANUFACTURER IS IGNORING.

THE JEEP IS UNCONTROLLABLE AT HIGH SPEEDS AND THE STEERING IS HIGHLY FLAWED. WE WERE NOT TOLD WHEN WE PICKED UP THE VEHICLE TWO WEEKS AGO THAT THERE WAS A PROBLEM WITH THE STEERING. THERE IS EXCESSIVE PLAY IN THE WHEEL SO THERE IS ABOUT 10 DEGREES OF TURN WHERE THE STEERING IS NOT AFFECTED. THE VEHICLE BASICALLY BOUNCES BACK AND FORTH IN THE LANE AND IT IS HARD TO CONTROL. THE FASTER, THE MORE DIFFICULT TO CONTROL. WHEN OUR SON WAS TRYING TO MERGE ONTO A HIGHWAY HE SAID IT BECAME UNCONTROLLABLE AND HE THE JEEP STARTED OSCILLATING BACK AND FORTH UNTIL HE LOST CONTROL. THE JEEP SPUN OUT AND LUCKILY NO ONE WAS HURT. THE VEHICLE CANNOT DRIVE IN A STRAIGHT LINE, TAKES EXCESSIVE INPUT TO CONTROL, AND IS UNSAFE FOR LOW TIME DRIVERS. WE HAVE TAKEN THE JEEP BACK FOUR TIMES AND THE DEALERSHIP NOW HAS POSSESSION OF THE VEHICLE WITH NO FIX AVAILABLE. THEY HAVE NOT ADMITTED NOR DENIED THERE IS A SAFETY PROBLEM OTHER THAN SAYING THEY ARE WORKING WITH FCA REPS TO FIND A SOLUTION. THIS VEHICLE SHOULD NOT BE ON US HIGHWAYS. THIS IS AN UNSAFE VEHICLE AND THERE IS SIGNIFICANT RISK TO LIFE AND PROPERTY. THESE VEHICLES ARE BEING DELIVERED WITH A FLAWED STEERING SYSTEM THAT HAS EXCESSIVE PLAY WHICH INVITES LOSS OF CONTROL AT HIGH SPEEDS. PLEASE IMMEDIATELY TAKE THESE VEHICLES OFF THE ROAD. JEEP SHOULD NOT BE ALLOWED TO SELL THEM AS THEY ARE TOTALLY UNSAFE. THE JEEP JL WRANGLER (2018) IS UNSAFE!

Mileage: 326

STEERING CONTROL BECAME SIGNIFICANTLY IMPAIRED & DIFFICULT TO CORRECT AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS / MODERATE RIGHT HAND CURVE / MINOR PAVEMENT IMPERFECTIONS, WHICH ALMOST RESULTED IN MULTI-VEHICLE ACCIDENT. OVERALL, VEHICLE CONTROL AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS IS VERY POOR. STEERING WHEEL HAS A DEAD SPOT, AND HIGHWAY WONDER CAN BE SIGNIFICANT. WITH NO STEERING WHEEL MOVEMENT THE VEHICLE'S TRAJECTORY CAN CHANGE, WHICH REQUIRES CONTINUOUS CORRECTIONS.

STEERING HAS EXCESSIVE FREE PLAY ON CENTER. THE STEERING WHEEL MOVES 1" IS EACH DIRECTION BEFORE WHEELS RESPOND. IT IF VERY DIFFICULT TO KEEP THE VEHICLE IN THE LANE AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS.

WHILE MAKING A LEFT TURN AT LOW SPEEDS IT SEEMINGLY FELT LIKE MY POWER STEERING WAS DISABLED AND I HAD TO CRANK MY WHEEL IN ORDER TO MAKE THE TURN. A FEW HOURS LATER, I GET HOME AND ABOUT 100 YARDS FROM MY APARTMENT, THE 'SERVICE ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL ' WARNING POPS UP. I HAVE ONLY HAD THIS VEHICLE 2 DAYS AND LESS THAN 300 MILES. IT'S SAFE TO SAY, I'M EXTREMELY UNHAPPY WITH THIS VEHICLE.

WHEN DRIVING AT SPEEDS IN EXCESS OF 45MPH, THERE IS SIGNIFICANT PLAY IN THE STEERING WHEEL. AS A RESULT, THE VEHICLE IS DIFFICULT TO CONTROL IN A STRAIGHT LINE. THIS IS DANGEROUS. BECAUSE OF THE PLAY, YOU HAVE TO CONSTANTLY MOVE THE STEERING WHEEL A SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT LEFT OR RIGHT TO FIND WHERE THE POINT IS THAT IMPACTS THE DIRECTION OF THE VEHICLE. THIS NEEDS YOUR ATTENTION BECAUSE FCA IS IGNORING THE ISSUE. I HAVE VISITED TWO DIFFERENT DEALERS TO LOOK FOR A SOLUTION AND ALSO SPOKEN THE CUSTOMER SERVICE AT FCA. THE DEALERS' INSPECTIONS DID NOT DISCOVER ANY MECHANICAL ISSUE. IN SPEAKING TO FCA AND THE TECHNICIANS AT THE DEALERSHIPS, THEY INDICATED THAT IT IS A SOFTWARE ISSUE, BUT CANNOT DO ANYTHING UNTIL FCA DIRECTS THEM. SOME OWNERS OF THE WRANGLER HAVE COERCED THEIR DEALERSHIP TO FLASH THE POWER TRAIN CONTROL MODULE. ACCORDING TO THOSE INDIVIDUALS THIS SOFTWARE UPDATE HAS SOLVED THE ISSUE. BUT I HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO FIND A DEALER TO DO THIS WITHOUT FCA DIRECTION.

THIS IS THE SECOND TIME THE VEHICLE HAS EXPERIENCED A TOTAL COMPUTER FAILURE WHILE IT WAS BEING DRIVEN. MY FIANCE' WAS DRIVING THIS TIME AND LOST POWER STEERING, BRAKE ASSIST, AS WELL AS THE ABILITY TO SHIFT GEARS OR EVEN TURN OFF THE ENGINE. AS BEFORE, INDICATIONS ARE A COMPLETE FAILURE OF THE CAN NETWORK - MULTIPLE CELS AND ERROR MESSAGES, FROM FUEL LOW TO TPMS FAIL TO ELECTRONIC START STOP DISABLED TO CHECK SHIFTIER, AS WELL AS A LOSS OF POWER STEERING AND THE ENGINE GOING INTO LIMP MODE. THE FIRST TIME THIS HAPPENED I WAS DOING 70MPH ON THE FREEWAY. IT OCCURRED AT NIGHT, THANKFULLY, AS IT CAUSED ME TO SWERVE BETWEEN LANES DURING THE SUDDEN LOSS OF POWER/STEERING ASSIST. IF IT HAD BEEN DURING RUSH HOUR, I WOULD HAVE HIT ANOTHER VEHICLE. THIS TIME THE COMPUTER FAILED WHILE IN A PARKING GARAGE. THANKFULLY IT OCCURRED AFTER TURNING INTO A STRAIGHT AWAY AS MY FIANCE' TOOK THE ENTIRE LENGTH TO STOP DUE TO THE LOSS OF BREAKING; SHE BLEW THROUGH A PEDESTRIAN WALKWAY AND COULD NOT STOP AND, IF IT HAD HAPPENED DURING A TURN, SHE MOST LIKELY WOULD HAVE HIT A CAR OR HIT THE EDGE OF THE PARKING GARAGE. BOTH TIMES WE WERE VERY LUCKY THAT WE DID NOT HAVE AN ACCIDENT THAT RESULTED IN MAJOR DAMAGE OR A FATALITY. JEEP HAS FOUND 2 ELECTRICAL WIRING PROBLEMS SO FAR WITH THIS JEEP AND OBVIOUSLY THERE ARE ADDITIONAL WIRING DEFECTS PRESENT IN THE VEHICLE.

I JUST LEASED A JEEP AN IMMEDIATELY UPON DRIVING THE JEEP HOME I HAD PROBLEMS STEERING THE VEHICLE AS I ENTERED NORMAL TRAFFIC SPEED. THERE IS A NOTICEABLE STEERING DEAD ZONE (PLAY) WHEN THE STEERING WHEEL IS AT-OR-NEAR CENTERED POSITION. FURTHERMORE, THE VEHICLE DOES NOT SEEM TO BE ABLE TO DRIVE IN A STRAIGHT LINE (THE JEEP WANDERS QUITE MARKEDLY ON PAVED ROADS WITHOUT CONSTANT CORRECTION. ) SEVERAL TIMES I WENT OUT OF MY LANE. THESE TWO ISSUES ARE PRESENT AT ALL SPEEDS BUT ARE ESPECIALLY NOTICEABLE AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. BOTH ISSUES COMPOUND AND MAKE THE VEHICLE UNSAFE TO DRIVE REQUIRING FREQUENT MICRO-CORRECTIONS WHICH ARE HARD TO GET RIGHT BECAUSE OF THE AFOREMENTIONED DEAD ZONE. I HAVE BEEN DRIVING WRANGLER FOR 10 YEARS SO THIS IS NOT BECAUSE I AM NEW TO THE VEHICLE .

THIS HAPPENS UNDER PARKING CONDITIONS (DIFFICULT NOT TO HIT OTHER CARS); AND TURNING IN HIGH TRAFFIC SITUATIONS (VERY DANGEROUS IN CONGESTED AREAS). I LOST CONTROL OF THE CAR STEERING (IT WAS GOING THE OPPOSITE DIRECTION SUCH AS IN A SKIDDING SITUATION) ON THE HIGHWAY GETTING ON FROM AN ONRAMP (FROM FIRST GEAR TO SECOND - FROM A STOP SIGN) AND ALMOST STEERED INTO ONCOMING CARS!! I HAVE A VIDEO EXAMPLE OF THE PROBLEM THAT I CAN SEND VIA EMAIL IF YOU NEED.

Mileage: 600

STEERING IS LOOSE AND 1 INCH MOVEMENTS OF THE STEERING WHEEL IN EITHER DIRECTION YIELD NO STEERING EFFECT AT ALL. CAR WANDERS IN LEFT AND RIGHT AND THE "DEAD" ZONE IN THE STEERING WHEEL MAKE IT DIFFICULT TO CONTROL. OTHER DRIVERS MUST THINK I AM DRIVING DRUNK. NOT SAFE OR COMFORTABLE.

NEW 2018 JEEP WRANGLER SAHARA JL EXPERIENCING INSTABILITY WITH THE STEERING. AT SPEEDS ABOVE 40MPH THE VEHICLES STEERING REQUIRES CONSTANT COMPENSATION TO KEEP IT TRACKING STRAIGHT. IT IS VERY CONCERNING ON NARROWERE, OLDER HIGHWAYS WHERE A SMALL ADJUSTMENTS MAKES A BIG DIFFERENCE. THERE ARE NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS REGARDING THIS VEHICLES' STEERING AND IT NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED BY THE MANUFACTURER. THE JEEP IS GOING TO THE DEALERSHIP THIS WEEK AND MY EXPECTATIONS THAT THE ISSUE WILL BE ADDRESSED IS VERY LOW.

WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY WITH MY WIFE AT 60MPH THE STEERING GOT LOOSE TO THE POINT WHERE THE CAR WAS LOSING CONTROL I NEEDED TO PULL OFF THE HIGHWAY. THE 2018 WRANGLER JK HAS A NEW STEERING SYSTEM DESIGN THAT CREATES A DANGEROUSLY LOOSE AND OVERSTEER CONDITION THAT WILL INCREASE ROLLOVERS AT HIGH SPEEDS WE WOULD LIKE TO FORMALLY DOCUMENT THE STEERING ON THE JL IS FLAWED, DANGEROUS, AND DESIGNED AT A LEVEL OF LOOSENESS WHERE THE DRIVERS CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE IS DRAMATICALLY IMPAIRED. THIS VEHICLE SHOULD BE RECALLED AND OR THE ELECTRONIC SOFTWARE PACKAGE SHOULD BE REDESIGNED. WITH THIS EMAIL I AM NOTIFYING FCA THAT THEY HAVE A MATERIAL SAFETY HAZARD ON THIS PRODUCT. THE EXCESSIVE PLAY IN STEERING RISKS OVERSTEER AT LOW SPEEDS AND INCREASED ROLLOVER % PROBABILITY AT 55 MPH AND HIGHER THIS IS NOT ACCEPTABLE. THE CHANGE IN TIRES MAKES NO DIFFERENCE IN PERFORMANCE.

AS OTHER'S HAVE REPORTED, THERE IS A DEAD SPOT IN THE CENTER OF THE STEERING WHEEL. THE VEHICLE WANDERS EXCESSIVELY AND REQUIRES QUITE A BIT OF CORRECTION DUE TO THE DEAD SPOT. THIS IS NOT SAFE AND NEEDS TO BE FIXED.

Mileage: 70

I AM EXPERIENCING A DEAD SPOT IN THE STEERING OF ROUGHLY 1-2 INCHES AT BOTH CITY AND HIGHWAY SPEEDS (60+ MPH) WHERE THE STEERING IS UNRESPONSIVE. AS WELL AS "WANDERING" STEERING WHERE ANY VARIATIONS IN THE ROAD/WIND ETC CAUSE THE VEHICLE TO VEER OFF COURSE. WITH THESE TWO PROBLEMS, I AM CONSTANTLY CORRECTING THE VEHICLE TO THE POINT WHERE IT IS EXTREMELY UNCOMFORTABLE AND UNSAFE. I HAVE FOUND NUMEROUS OTHER PEOPLE THAT ARE EXPERIENCING THE SAME PROBLEM. THE FOLLOWING FORUM DESCRIBES THE ISSUES REPORTED : HTTPS://WWW.JLWRANGLERFORUMS.COM/FORUM/THREADS/MY-STEERING-ISSUES-HAVE-BEEN-FIXED.12843/

Mileage: 500

STEERING HAS A 'DEAD SPOT' WHEN CENTERED (UP TO ABOUT 10DEGREES TO LEFT OR RIGHT) WHEN TRAVELING HIGHWAY SPEEDS. THIS MEANS THE DRIVER HAS TO CONTINUALLY STEERING TO THE LEFT OR RIGHT (ABOUT 10DEGREES) TO THE LEFT OR RIGHT JUST TO KEEP THE CAR CENTERED. WHEN DRIVING CLOSE TO OTHER CARS OR HIGHWAY MEDIAN, THIS COULD CAUSE YOU TO VEER OFF YOUR LANE AND LEAD TO A POTENTIAL ACCIDENT.

Mileage: 1,000

I AM EXPERIENCING A DEAD SPOT IN THE STEERING OF ROUGHLY 2-3 INCHES AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS (60+ MPH) WHERE THE STEERING IS UNRESPONSIVE. AS WELL AS "WANDERING" STEERING WHERE ANY VARIATIONS IN THE ROAD/WIND ETC CAUSE THE VEHICLE TO VEER OFF COURSE DRAMATICALLY. WITH THESE TWO PROBLEMS, I AM CONSTANTLY CORRECTING THE VEHICLE TO THE POINT WHERE IT IS EXTREMELY UNCOMFORTABLE AND UNSAFE. I HAVE DRIVEN NUMEROUS OTHER JEEP WRANGLERS (PRIOR MODELS) AND HAVE NEVER HAD SUCH ISSUES. I HAVE FOUND NUMEROUS OTHER PEOPLE THAT ARE EXPERIENCING THE SAME PROBLEM.

STEERING IS LOOSE. JEEP WANDERS WITHIN THE LANE AND YOU ARE REQUIRED TO CHASE IT. STEERING IS MOST DIFFICULT IN THE 45-60 ZONE. IT FEELS THERE IS EXCESSIVE PLAY IN THE STEERING WHEEL. YOU CAN TURN IT 1/2'+ ANY DIRECTION BEFORE THE WHEELS RESPOND. DROVE IT FOR 46 MILES AND TOOK BACK TO DEALER BUT THEY COULDN'T FIND ANYTHING WRONG AND GAVE IT BACK 3 DAYS LATER. VEHICLE ORIGINALLY DELIVERED WITH TIRES INFLATED TO 44 PSI. I LOWERED THEM TO 36 PSI AS RECOMMENDED ON THE DOOR FRAME AND IT REDUCED THE WANDERING BY ALMOST HALF BUT STILL IS A VERY LOOSE STEERING VEHICLE.

Mileage: 20

THERE IS A NOTICEABLE STEERING DEAD ZONE (PLAY) WHEN THE STEERING WHEEL IS AT-OR-NEAR CENTERED POSITION. FURTHERMORE, THE VEHICLE DOES NOT SEEM TO BE ABLE TO DRIVE IN A STRAIGHT LINE (WANDERING) ON PAVED ROADS WITHOUT CONSTANT CORRECTION. THESE TWO ISSUES ARE PRESENT AT ALL SPEEDS BUT ARE ESPECIALLY NOTICEABLE AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. BOTH ISSUES COMPOUND AND MAKE THE VEHICLE UNSAFE TO DRIVE AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS, REQUIRING FREQUENT MICRO-CORRECTIONS ' WHICH ARE HARD TO GET RIGHT BECAUSE OF THE AFOREMENTIONED DEAD ZONE.

Mileage: 100

VEHICLE IS HARD TO STEER AND KEEP IN LANE. THERE SEEMS TO BE A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE BECAUSE EVEN WITH CONSTANT ATTENTION IT IS ALL OVER THE PLACE. EVEN AT SLOWER SPEEDS OF 30MPH THE EFFECT CAN BE FELT. HIGHER SPEEDS ARE VERY SCARY AND OFTEN PEOPLE BEHIND ME WONDER IF I AM DRIVING DRUNK.

Mileage: 200

THE STEERING WHEEL HAS A LOT OF PLAY, AND FEELS UNSAFE AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. THE LACK OF FEEL IN THE WHEEL COULD CASE HIGH SPEED LOST OF CONTROL AND IS UNSAFE FOR DRIVING.

Mileage: 55

NEW JEEP WRANGLER JL HAS MORE PLAY IN THE STEERING THAN ANY OTHER VEHICLE I HAVE DRIVEN IN THE PAST 20 YEARS. AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS THERE IS OVER 1 INCH OF PLAY BEFORE THE VEHICLE BEGINS TO TURN. AS A RESULT, ONE TENDS TO OVERCORRECT CAUSING A CHANGE IN DIRECTION WHICH MAKES THE CAR WANDER MORE THAN I BELIEVE TO BE SAFE. STARTED ON DAY OF DELIVERY IN MAY, 2018 AND CONTINUES TO THIS DAY. APPARENTLY NOT ALL WRANGLERS EXPERIENCE THIS, BUT SOME VERY CLEARLY DO. PROBLEM EXISTS AT ALL SPEEDS (IN MOTION) ESPECIALLY AWARE OF IT GOING STRAIGHT ON HIGHWAY.

STEERING IS EXTREMELY LOOSE AND REQUIRE CONSTANT CORRECTION TO STAY IN A STRAIGHT LINE. THERE'S A HUGE DEAD SPOT IN IT AS WELL, I FEEL LIKE I'M IN A CARTOON DRIVING.

Mileage: 17

STEERING HAS A NOTICEABLE 'DEAD-SPOT' WHILE DRIVING AND REQUIRES LARGE AMOUNTS OF INPUT TO CORRECT NORMAL ROAD DRIFT RESULTING IN AN ALMOST JERKING OR SAWING MOTION OF SEVERAL INCHES IN EACH DIRECTION TO MAKE SMALL CORRECTIONS. THE LARGE AMOUNT OF STEERING INPUT REQUIRED FROM THE DRIVER THEN CAUSES THE VEHICLE TO SWAY LATERALLY ON THE ROAD. THIS BECOMES INCREASINGLY DANGEROUS AS SPEED INCREASES. THE ATTACHED SERVICE REPORT INCORRECTLY STATES THEY WERE 'UNABLE TO DUPLICATE' THE CONDITION IN A LIKE VEHICLE. IN ACTUALITY THE OTHER 2018 JEEP WRANGLER I DROVE EXHIBITED THE SAME BEHAVIOR; REQUIRING LARGER THAN NORMAL INPUTS TO MAKE SMALL CORRECTIONS. I WAS TOLD BY THE SERVICE FOREMAN IT'S JUST INHERENT IN THE DESIGN OF THE WRANGLER.

Mileage: 600

THE STEERING IS LOOSE. YOU CONSTANTLY HAVE TO CORRECT TO THE LEFT OR RIGHT TO KEEP THE JEEP TRACKING IN THE LANE OF TRAVEL. THERE IS ALSO A "DEAD SPOT" ABOUT 1/4 TO 1/2 TO THE LEFT AND RIGHT WHERE IF YOU TURN THE STEERING WHEEL THERE IS NO MOVEMENT FROM THE FRONT WHEELS. THIS HAPPENS AT ALL SPEEDS.

Mileage: 5

STEERING VERY LOOSE AND WANDERS ALL OVER THE ROAD. YOU NEED TO CONSTANTLY MAKE CORRECTIONS WHILE STEERING. SEEMS LIKE THE JEEP WANTS TO WANDER AND IS VERY HARD TO CONTROL. IVE ONLY HAD THE JEEP FOR A WEEK.

Mileage: 50

THERE IS A DEAD SPOT IN THE STEERING. YOU MUST MOVE THE STEERING WHEEL 1/2"-1" TO THE LEFT OR RIGHT BEFORE IT WILL ACTIVATE BASED OFF OF THE STEERING INPUT. I INITIALLY THOUGHT IT WAS PART OF THE TYPICAL JEEP SETUP UNTIL I READ MANY OTHER OWNERS IN THE JEEP JLU FORUM COMPLAINING ABOUT THE SAME ISSUE. I'VE CALLED (3) DIFFERENT DEALERS WHO INDICATED THAT THEY HAD NOT HEARD OF THE ISSUE. I'VE PROVIDED A LINK TO A FACEBOOK VIDEO FROM ONE OF THE FORUM MEMBERS SO THAT YOU CAN SEE HOW MUCH PLAY IS IN THE STEERING INPUT AT 70 MPH. I WAS DRIVING IN A SEVERE RAINSTORM RECENTLY AND BEGAN TO HYDRO-PLANE AND DIDN'T FEEL LIKE I HAD THE PROPER AMOUNT OF INPUT TO STEERING THAT WOULD ALLOW ME TO RECOVER WITHOUT JERKING THE WHEEL. THIS AMOUNT OF PLAY IN THE STEERING MAKES IT DIFFICULT TO CORRECTLY ADJUST IF AN IMMEDIATE INPUT IS NEEDED WITHOUT OVER CORRECTING. HTTPS://WWW.FACEBOOK.COM/GROUPS/JEEPWRANGLERJL/PERMALINK/1014060645441660/ THIS HAS HAS BEEN ONGOING SINCE THE DAY I TOOL DELIVERY OF THE VEHICLE. I CURRENTLY HAVE APPROX. 2480 MILES ON THE VEHICLE.

MAJOR DEADSPOT AND A LOT OF PLAY IN STEERING. CONSTANT ADJUSTMENT IN STEERING WHEN DRIVING OVER 30MPH. WANDERS INTO OTHER LANE....ALMOST HAD ACCIDENT BECAUSE OF THE CONSTANT ADJUSTMENTS. BROUGHT IT TO DEALER AND NOTHING WAS FIXED.

Mileage: 110

LOOSE STEERING AND DRIFT WHILE DRIVING. UNABLE TO MAINTAIN A STRAIGHT LINE WITHOUT CONSTANT STEERING CORRECTION. VERY NOTICEABLE AT FREEWAY SPEEDS AS THE VEHICLE WILL WANT TO DRIVE LEFT OR RIGHT IMMEDIATELY AFTER YOU STOP CORRECTING STEERING. STARTED AT 19 MILES TOTAL ON THE VEHICLE. AS SOON AS I PURCHASED IT AND GOT ON THE FREEWAY IT FELT LIKE DRIVING ON ICE. FLAT OUT DANGEROUS TO DRIVE, RIGHT FROM THE FACTORY.

THERE IS 1 TO 2 INCHES OF PLAY IN THE STEERING. THE JEEP DRIFTS FROM ONE SIDE OF THE ROAD TO THE OTHER. YOU HAVE TO BE CONSTANTLY STEERING ARE YOU WILL END UP IN THE OTHER LANE OR OFF THE ROAD. IT NORMALLY HAPPENS ABOVE 35 MPH ON HIGHWAY.

Mileage: 400

MERGING ON TO HIGHWAY, STEERING STIFFENED THEN LOOSENED. STEERING WHEEL HAD TO BE AT 45-90 DEGREE ANGLE TO MAINTAIN STRAIGHT TRACK. AT HOME, I NOTICED THE TRACK BAR MOUNT HAD SEPARATED FROM THE FRAME. THE WELD ON THE OUTBOARD SIDE IS ON MOUNT INSTEAD OF THE SEAM BETWEEN THE MOUNT AND FRAME. THE FRONT AND REAR WELDS ON THE MOUNT ARE CRACKED. ONLY INTACT WELD IS THE INBOARD WELD.

WHILE DRIVING, ESPECIALLY ON THE HIGHWAY, THE STEERING HAS ABOUT AN INCH OF PLAY MOVING LEFT OR RIGHT WHERE NO CHANGE OCCURS TO THE TIRES. SO I COULD DRIVING AND MOVE THE STEERING WHEEL TO THE LEFT SLIGHTLY AND THE TIRE DOESNT MOVE LEFT. SO WHEN DRIVING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS GOING THROUGH CURVES I TEND TO DRIFT A BIT DUE TO THIS.

STEERING HAS A LARGE DEAD SPOT. VEHICLE WANDERS ALL OVER THE ROAD REQUIRING CONSTANT CORRECTION.IT IS REALLY BAD IN CROSS WINDS. THE PROBLEM APPEARS TO BE WITH THE STEERING BOX.

THE JEEP WILL NOT HOLD A LINE. IT WANDERS OR DRIFTS THUS CAUSING CONSTANT MOVEMENT OF THE STEERING WHEEL TO MAINTAIN TRAVEL IN DESIRED DIRECTION. I.E. IF TRAVELING STRAIGHT, THE STEERING WHEEL REQUIRES CONSTANT INPUT. THE SAME APPLIES IN A SMOOTH CURVE. SPEED OF VEHICLE SEEMS TO NOT BE A FACTOR. I TOOK DELIVERY ON 6/12/2018 AND NOTICED THE ISSUE SAME DAY. I SCHEDULED AN APPOINTMENT WITH THE DEALER AND DELIVERED IT TO THEM ON 8/01. A NEW STEERING BOX HAS BEEN ORDERED BUT I HAVE NOT RETAKEN POSSESSION OF THE VEHICLE AT THIS TIME. THANKS, (XXXX) PARTS OF THIS DOCUMENT HAVE BEEN REDACTED TO PROTECT PERSONALLY IDENTIFIABLE INFORMATION PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).

THE STEERING HAS ABOUT 2 INCHES OF PLAY SIDE TO SIDE AND ON THE HIGHWAY AT 70 MPH IT CAN CHANGE LANES ON ME AND TAKES CONSTANT CONTROL ALL OF THE TIME. TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AND THEY SAID YES IT HAS PLAY BUT THAT IS NORMAL. THAT CAN'T BE CORRECT AS OTHER VEHICLES HAVE NO PLAY AT ALL. SOMEONE IS GOING TO GET HURT SOMEDAY IF YOU DON'T TELL THEM TO FIX THIS.

Mileage: 1,225

THE STEERING HAS A VERY LARGE DEAD SPOT WHERE STEERING INPUT RESULTS WITH ZERO RESISTANCE OR STEERING CHANGE. I CAN MOVE THE STEERING WHEEL AT LEAST 2 INCHES WITH ZERO REACTION FROM THE JEEP, BOTH AT SPEEDS AND NOT MOVING. AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS IT IS DOWNRIGHT SCARY AS IT DRIVES LIKE AN OLD 70'S JEEP/TRUCK. EVERY TINY CORRECTION REQUIRES SUBSTANTIAL SEESAWING OF THE STEERING WHEEL TO CORRECT. THIS ISSUE HAS BEEN WELL DOCUMENTED ON JLWRANGLERFORUMS.COM WITH NO REAL FIX FROM JEEP. THIS IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS...JUST IMAGINE TAKING A CURVE AT 60 MPH ON A TWO LANE ROAD WITH A LARGE TRUCK/SEMI GOING THE OPPOSITE DIRECTION, THIS IS EXTREMELY DIFFICULT TO KEEP THE JEEP IN THE LANE. SIDE WINDS AND PAVEMENT IRREGULARITIES ALSO WREAK HAVOC. THIS ISSUE HAS BEEN PRESENT SINCE THE FIRST DAY DRIVING THE JEEP HOME FROM THE DEALER. IT NOW HAS OVER 2,000 MILES .

Mileage: 5

STEERING IS VERY LOOSE WITH A LARGE DEAD SPOT. THE VEHICLE WANDERS ESPECIALLY AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. TO CORRECT WANDERING THE DEAD SPOT CAUSES YOU TO NEED TO CORRECT WITH A GREATER MOVEMENT OF THE STEERING WHEEL. THE VEHICLE AND STEERING SEEMS VERY LOOSE AND WHEN HITTING ROAD IMPERFECTIONS THE VEHICLE CAN SEEM TO FLOAT.

THE STEERING FEELS LOOSE. IT WANDERS ON THE ROAD EVEN AT LOW SPEEDS

Mileage: 1

STEERING HAS EXCESSIVE PLAY AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS MAKING IT DIFFICULT TO CORRECT STEERING WHEN CHANGING LANES. WHEN DRIVING THIS CAN CAUSE YOU TO OVER CORRECT WHICH HAS THE POTENTIAL TO CAUSE YOU TO DRIFT INTO ANOTHER LANE AND POSSIBLY HIT ANOTHER CAR.

VEHICLE WILL NOT TRACK STRAIGHT. REQUIRES CONSTANT MINOR CORRECTION OR IT DRIFTS OUT OF LANE. IT'S LIKE A DEAD SPOT IN THE MIDDLE POSITION OF THE STEERING BOX. PER THE DEALER, THERE IS NO FIX AND THIS IS CONSISTENT FOR ALL NEW JL MODELS. THE 2018 WRANGLER JK MODELS DO NOT HAVE THE ISSUE. BOUGHT BRAND NEW A FEW WEEKS AGO.

OWINNG JEEP WRANGLERS FOR YEARS, I AM ACCUSTOMED TO LOOSE STEERING. HOWEVER, THE ONE I JUST PURCHASED AND HAVE LESS 1000 MILES ON,HAS A STEERING ISSUE THAT REQUIRES CONSTANT CORRECTION, ESPECIALLY AT SPEEDS IN EXCESS OF 55 MPH AND EXPECIALLY AROUND CURVES, IS EXCESSIVE AND UNSAFE. IT IS MUCH MORE NOTICABLE THAT PREVIOUS MODELS AND EXTREMELY UNSAFE. THERE IS A BULLETIN, RELEASED BY JEEP ACKNOWLEDING THE PROBLEM, BUT APPARENTLY MINE DOESN'T MAKE THE DATES (MINE WAS MADE A MONTH AFTER THE BULLETIN EXPIRED). IT HAS BEEN TO A DEALERSHIP FOR RECALIBRATION AND/OR REPROGRAMMING (AS THE TECH BULLETIN STATES SHOULD BE DONE) BUT WAS TOLD NOTHING WAS WRONG AND IT IS WITHIN SPECS. OTHER OWNERS OF THIS MODEL ARE HAVING THE SAME ISSUE AND NOTHING IS BEING DONE ABOUT IT. I HAVE DRIVEN DIFFERENT FRIEND'S JEEPS, SAME YEAR AND MODEL, AND MOST HAVE THIS ISSUE. ONLY ONE THAT I HAVE DRIVEN DID NOT HAVE IT. FCA (FIAT CHRYSLER) NEED TO ADDRESS THIS ISSUE AS SOON AS POSSIBLE.

STEERING HAS ABOUT 2 INCHES OF PLAY (DEAD SPOT) ON CENTER. JEEP WANTS TO WANDER AND DRIFT I HAVE HAD THIS JEEP TO 2 DIFFERENT DEALERS WITH THIS PROBLEM WITH NEGATIVE RESULTS. I WAS TOLD THIS IS THE WAY THEY DRIVE. THIS IS NOT MY FIRST WRANGLER. I DROVE A 2011 JK WRANGLER FOR 7 YEARS AND I CAN SAY WITHOUT RESERVATION THIS IS NOT THE WAY THEY DRIVE.

STEERING WHEEL HAS A LARGE DEAD SPOT CAUSING THE DRIVER TO CONSTANTLY MOVE THE STEERING WHEEL LEFT AND RIGHT TO KEEP THE WRANGLER GOING STRAIGHT.

Mileage: 40

STEERING HAS PLAY IN THE WHEEL. WANDERS OWN ITS OWN AT SPEEDS ABOVE 50 WHEN WARM. AT SPEEDS ABOVE 50 MPH ITS DIFFICULT TO STAY IN THE LANE. PURCHASED NEW AND I DIDN'T TEST DRIVE AT HIGHWAY/FREEWAY SPEEDS.

Mileage: 10

THE CAR DOESN'T TRACK STRAIGHT WITHOUT CONTINUAL ADJUSTMENTS WITH THE STEERING WHEEL. IT WILL DRIFT A LITTLE RIGHT, THEN I NUDGE THE STEERING WHEEL TO THE LEFT AND IT WILL DRIFT LEFT AND HAVE TO CORRECT TO THE RIGHT AGAIN.

ISSUE WAS IDENTIFIED IMMEDIATELY UPON DELIVERY OF THE VEHICLE FROM THE SELLING DEALERSHIP. STEERING REQUIRES CONSTANT CORRECTION IN ORDER TO MAINTAIN A STRAIGHT LINE. ADDITIONALLY, THE STEERING RESPONSE 1 - 2" FROM CENTER IS NOT PRECISE AND RESULTS IN OVER-CORRECTIONS OF THE STEERING. THE SENSATION IS SIMILAR TO THAT OF TRYING TO DRIVE A STRAIGHT LINE THROUGH A FEW INCHES OF SNOW. THE SELLING DEALER ALLOWED ME TO DO A COMPARISON DRIVE WITH A LIKE MODEL (SAME MAKE, MODEL AND OPTIONS) AND A DIFFERENCE WAS ACKNOWLEDGED AND A SERVICE APPOINTMENT SCHEDULED. THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT LATER INDICATED THAT THIS ISSUE IS "NORMAL" AND THAT IT WAS NOT UNUSUAL THAT THERE WOULD BE A DIFFERENCE BETWEEN MY VEHICLE AND THE COMPARISON VEHICLE. NAVIGATING TWO LANE ROADS AND HIGHWAYS, ALONG WITH NARROW CONSTRUCTION AREAS, ARE OF CONCERN GIVEN THE VEHICLE'S TENDENCY TO WANDER AND INACCURATE STEERING CORRECTIONS/OVER-CORRECTIONS.

Mileage: 100

I HAVE HAD THIS VEHICLE FOR ONE WEEK AND I NOTICED THE STEERING PROBLEM RIGHT AWAY. MOST OF MY DRIVING IS ON THE HIGHWAY, THIS VEHICLE HAS AN EXCESSIVE STEERING DEAD ZONE WHICH LEADS TO MAJOR OVER CORRECTING AND CONSTANT STEERING INPUT TO KEEP WITHIN A STRAIGHT LINE, ESPECIALLY WHEN THERE ARE BUMPS, CRACKED, UNEVEN PAVEMENT, TURNING, WIND ETC. IT'S VERY A SCARY. I DON'T EVEN WANT TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE. MY SPEED DURING THIS IS BETWEEN 60-75.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2018 JEEP WRANGLER. WHILE DRIVING 45 MPH, THE STEERING WHEEL SEIZED WITHOUT WARNING. THE CONTACT WAS ABLE TO CONTROL THE VEHICLE UNTIL THE POWER STEERING RETURNED TO NORMAL. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO ATLANTIC CHRYSLER JEEP DODGE RAM (130 SUNRISE HWY, WEST ISLIP, NY 11795, (631) 422-0123), BUT THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE WAS NOT DETERMINED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED.

I HAVE THE NEW JL WRANGLER. THIS IS A REDESIGNED WRANGLER FOR 2018. SINCE TAKING DELIVERY ON 5/2/18 I HAVE EXPERIENCED LOSE STEERING WITH WHAT SEEMS TO BE A DEAD SPOT WITH THE STEERING WHEEL. THIS ALLOWS FOR THE JEEP TO WONDER IN THE TRAFFIC LANE. AT TIMES IT FEELS VERY UNSAFE WHERE YOU FEEL LIKE YOU COULD LOSE CONTROL OR END UP IN AN ADJACENT TRAVEL LANE. THE DEAD SPOT IS A FEW DEGREES RIGHT AND LEFT OF CENTER. IT FEELS LIKE YOU CAN MOVE THE WHEEL WITHOUT ANY STEERING INPUT TO THE FRONT WHEELS. BECAUSE OF THIS YOU ARE OFTEN FIGHTING WITH THE STEERING WHEEL AS YOU MAKE CORRECTIONS TO THE LEFT YOU END UP GOING TOO FAR AND HAVE TO CORRECT BACK TO THE RIGHT. THIS OCCURS AT ALL SPEEDS, BUT SEEMS MORE PREVALENT AT HIGHER HIGHWAY SPEEDS. MAYBE BECAUSE IT FEELS MORE SCARIER AT THOSE SPEEDS? JEEP AND FCA SO FAR SEEM TO INDICATE THIS IS NORMAL JEEP WRANGLER STEERING. HOWEVER I HAVE HAD PREVIOUS JEEP WRANGLERS WHERE THE STEERING DID NOT FEEL THIS WAY. AS WELL AS CONFERRING WITH OTHER JEEP OWNERS BOTH OF PREVIOUS MODELS AND THIS NEW MODEL WHO DO NOT EXPERIENCE THIS PROBLEM. I HAVE HAD THE JEEP IN TWICE FOR SERVICE WITH THE DEALERSHIP I PURCHASED THE JEEP FROM, BUT NOTHING WRONG HAS BEEN FOUND. I HAVE DRIVEN OVER 3600 MILES ON THE JEEP TO DATE IN HOPES THAT IT WOULD GET BETTER. HOWEVER THE ISSUE IS STILL THERE.

Mileage: 1,100

SINCE PURCHASING THIS VEHICLE IN EARLY JULY 2018 AND HAVING DRIVEN 550 MILES I CAN SAY THIS VEHICLE HAS AN EXCESSIVE STEERING DEAD ZONE WHICH LEADS TO MAJOR OVERCORRECTING AND CONSTANT STEERING INPUT TO KEEP WITHIN A STRAIGHT LANE. THIS PROBLEM IS AMPLIFIED WHEN TRAVELING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS (60+ MPH). ESPECIALLY WHEN THERE ARE BUMPS, CRACKED/UNEVEN PAVEMENT, TURNING AND WIND AND THIS CREATES AN EXTREMELY DANGEROUS DRIVING SITUATION WHICH COULD RESULT IN SERIOUS INJURY TO MYSELF OR OTHERS. THIS VEHICLE HAS A DANGEROUS "BOBBLE" OR SWAY AND DRIVING AT FASTER POSTED SPEEDS, ESPECIALLY ON MORE NARROW ROADS IS QUITE DANGEROUS. THE AMOUNT OF FORCE TO CORRECT TO STAY IN CENTER LANE IS UNLIKE ANY VEHICLE IN MY ALMOST 40 YEARS OF DRIVING I HAVE ALSO OWNED 3 OTHER JEEP WRANGLERS SO I KNOW HOW THEY DRIVE. OTHERS HAVE MENTIONED THIS COULD BE EITHER A STEERING GEARBOX OR COMPUTER FLASH ISSUE. I DID NOT PAY OVER $40,000 FOR AN UNSAFE TO DRIVE VEHICLE. THANK YOU FOR YOUR ASSISTANCE AND HELP WITH THIS SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE!

Mileage: 500

THIS IS IN REFERENCE A DEAD SPOT WHEN THE STEERING WHEEL IS CENTERED AND I'M GOING OR TRYING TO GO STRAIGHT ON THE ROAD. IT IS NOTICEABLE AT ALL TIMES BUT BECOMES UNSTABLE AT 50+MPH. IT IS DIFFICULT TO DRIVE STRAIGHT BECAUSE THE STEERING WHEEL HAS PLAY IN IT BEFORE THE WHEELS ACTUALLY TURN. MY JLUR WAS LIFTED AT THE DEALERSHIP BEFORE DELIVERY USING THE MOPAR 2" LIFT KIT. I BROUGHT THE JEEP TO THE SHOP AND WAS TOLD I NEEDED AN UPGRADED STEERING STABILIZER BECAUSE OF THE LIFT. THEY ADDED PART NUMBER 77072360 AT A COST OF $461.80. I HAVE DRIVEN THE JEEP SINCE THEN AND THE STEERING PLAY IS STILL THERE. A WEEK LATER I PUT NEW TIRES ON MY JEEP THINKING IT MAY HELP REDUCE THE DEAD SPOT CONDITION ON THE STEERING BUT IT DID NOTHING, IT FEELS EXACTLY THE SAME. THE NEW TIRES ARE 35 X 12.5 R17. STOCK TIRES WERE 33.

Mileage: 1,400

BUILD DATE 2-2018 SINCE PURCHASING THIS VEHICLE IN EARLY MARCH 2018 AND HAVING DRIVEN OVER 5,000 MILES I CAN SAY THIS VEHICLE HAS AN EXCESSIVE STEERING DEAD ZONE WHICH LEADS TO MAJOR OVERCORRECTING AND CONSTANT STEERING INPUT TO KEEP WITHIN A STRAIGHT LANE. THIS PROBLEM IS AMPLIFIED WHEN TRAVELING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS (60+ MPH). ESPECIALLY WHEN THERE ARE BUMPS, CRACKED/UNEVEN PAVEMENT, TURNING AND WIND AND THIS CREATES SOME NOT SO FUN SITUATIONS. THE SELLING DEALER SUGGESTED LOWERING TIRE AIR PRESSURE, WHICH I DID AND IT STILL DOESN'T FIX THE PROBLEM.

WHILE STARTING THE VEHICLE FOR THE THIRD TIME IN TWO DAYS AFTER PICKING UP THE CAR FOLLOWING A PCM FLASH FOR A CRUISE CONTROL RECALL, I NOTICED THE PRND LIGHTS FLASHING ON THE SHIFTIER APPROXIMATELY 10 SECONDS AFTER VEHICLE START. I SUBSEQUENTLY RECEIVED A CEL AND A "SERVICE SHIFTER' MESSAGE. I SHUT OFF THE VEHICLE, LET ALL DISPLAYS GO DARK, AND RESTARTED; THE CEL WENT AWAY. I PROCEEDED TO CONTINUE MY DRIVE HOME. ABOUT 10/15 MIN LATER, I NOTICED THE LIGHTS FLICKERING ONCE AGAIN ON THE SHIFTER. I ONCE AGAIN ELECTED TO CONTINUE HOME AS IT WAS LATE AT NIGHT. APPROXIMATELY 2/3 MILES LATER, I RECEIVED ERRORS ON THE START/STOP AND TRACTION CONTROL SYSTEMS. THE VEHICLE APPEARED TO GO INTO A "LIMP MODE" - I IT WOULD NOT SHIFT OUT OF 8TH GEAR AND I EXPERIENCED REDUCED POWER AND AN INABILITY TO MAINTAIN THE POSTED 70 MPH. I DECIDED TO EXIT AT THE NEXT OFF-RAMP AS I COULD MAINTAIN 65MPH. WHILE EXITING, I NOTICED THE GAUGE NEEDLES (SPEEDO AND TACH) SWEEP AND GOT AIRBAG WARNINGS. I HEARD THE ELECTRIC FAN GO 100% HIGH (VERY LOUD) AND I LOST POWER STEERING. I PULLED OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND SHUT OFF THE VEHICLE. AFTER LETTING IT SIT FOR APPROXIMATELY 5 MIN, I RESTARTED THE VEHICLE AND WHILE THE CEL REMAINED NO OTHER ERRORS WERE ILLUMINATED OR PRESENTED. I WAS LESS THAN 2 MILES FROM A JEEP DEALER AND DECIDED TO TRY TO CONTINUE THERE ON ACCESS ROADS. ABOUT 1/8 MILE DOWN THE ROAD, I ONCE AGAIN LOST POWER STEERING AND SAY VARIOUS ERROR MESSAGES LIKE BEFORE. I PULLED INTO A PARKING LOT AND ABORTED MY ATTEMPTS AND CALLED FOR A TOW TO THE DEALER LESS THAN A MILE AWAY. POSTED ARE PICTURES OF THE ERRORS READ USING AN OBD-2 SCANNER I HAD IN THE GLOVE COMPARTMENT. WHILE I HAVE DRIVEN CARS WITHOUT POWER STEERING IN THE PAST, IT WAS RATHER DIFFICULT WITH THE LARGER ~32" TIRES AND I AM NOT SURE A CRASH COULD BE PREVENTED IF A SMALLER PERSON WAS DRIVING.

Mileage: 4,850

TRACK BAR BRACKET AND OTHER WELDS ARE VERY POORLY DONE, WHICH CAN LEAD TO SERIOUS MALFUNCTION OR INJURY. WELDS HAVE POOR POROSITY WITH PINHOLES, SLAG INCLUSIONS, LACK OF FUSION, UNDERFILL, ETC. THE WELDS ON MY NEW 2018 JEEP RUBICON JLU THAT COST $52,000 ARE ALL MALFORMED. I DON'T SEE HOW THERE COULD HAVE BEEN AN INSPECTION PASS ON THESE WELDS, AS THEY ARE DANGEROUS. I'VE HAD THEM INSPECTED BY TWO PROFESSIONAL WELDERS WITH A COMBINED 45 YEARS OF EXPERIENCE AND THEY BOTH IMMEDIATELY AGREED. ONE USER ON THE JL WRANGLER FORUMS WITH VERY SIMILAR WELDS HAD A COMPLETE FAILURE OF THE TRACK BAR BRACKET AT A HIGHER RATE OF SPEED (HIGHWAY POSTED SPEEDS) AND WAS SOMEHOW ABLE TO GET THE VEHICLE TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD WITHOUT KILLING HIMSELF OR ANYONE ELSE. THIS POST CAN BE FOUND ON JL WRANGLER FORUMS DOT COM, SEARCH FOR "TRACK BAR SHEARED OFF AT THE WELD" THE TRACK BAR BRACKET WELD ON MY JEEP DOESN'T COVER THE TOP OF THE BRACKET BUT INSTEAD THE WELD SITS ALMOST ON TOP OF THE BRACKET EDGE AS YOU CAN SEE FROM THE ADDED PICTURES. THE SIDE WELDS ARE SIMPLY WELD BLOBS AND DO NOT FOLLOW ANY WELD STANDARDS. THIS IS SIMPLY DANGEROUS AND SHOWS THAT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INSPECTED WHEN LEAVING THIS STAGE OF THE BUILD FROM FCA. JUST TO NOTE, MOST ALL OTHER WELDS THAT WERE VISUALLY INSPECTED ARE JUST AS POORLY DONE. *TR

PURCHASED MY 2018 BILLET SILVER, 4-DOOR WRANGLER RUBICON JL ON JULY, 2 2018. BUILD DATE IS 2/2018 FOR THE VEHICLE. I NOTICED THE EXCESSIVE NEED TO OVERCORRECT THE STEERING WHEEL WHEN I DROVE IT HOME FROM THE DEALERSHIP. I TEST DROVE IT EARLIER IN THE DAY ON A 4 LANE, SPLIT HIGHWAY AND IT WAS ALMOST ENTIRELY A STRAIGHT HIGHWAY DRIVE, SO I DIDN'T NOTICE IT MUCH ON THE VERY SHORT TEST DRIVE AS I DID DRIVING THE JEEP HOME LATER IN THE EVENING ON A MUCH MORE NARROW, TWO LANE COUNTRY ROAD. THE ISSUE IS EXACTLY LIKE MANY WHO HAVE DESCRIED THE ISSUE IN THE JL WRANGLER FORUMS ONLINE (OVER 570 POSTS AS OF THIS COMPLAINT FILING) WHO'VE DESCRIBED THE WHEEL BEING UNRESPONSIVE WITH LOTS OF LEFT/RIGHT MICRO CORRECTING TO STAY IN CENTER LANE. WHILE DRIVING STRAIGHT AND ON EVEN PAVEMENT I CAN MOVE THE STEERING WHEEL APPROXIMATELY 5-7 DEGREES AND THE WHEELS AND DIRECTION IS UNRESPONSIVE. THERE WAS A TIME OR TWO DRIVING HOME WHEN I WOULD COME OUT OF A SLIGHT DIP OR BUMP IN THE ROAD AND THE JEEP WOULD COME OUT OF THE DIP, START TRACKING TOWARDS AN ONCOMING CAR OR CENTER LANE, AND CORRECTING THE WHEEL BACK TO THE RIGHT AND AWAY FROM ONCOMING TRAFFIC REALLY TOOK A LOT OF EFFORT. TIRE PRESSURE IS TO SPEC AT 37PSI IN ALL FOUR TIRES. THIS VEHICLE HAS A DANGEROUS "BOBBLE" OR SWAY AND DRIVING AT FASTER POSTED SPEEDS, ESPECIALLY ON MORE NARROW ROADS IS QUITE DANGEROUS. THE AMOUNT OF FORCE TO CORRECT TO STAY IN CENTER LANE IS UNLIKE ANY VEHICLE IN MY ALMOST 30 YEARS OF DRIVING.

Mileage: 480

STEERING ON THE FREEWAY AT HIGHER SPEEDS (60 MPH+) HAS A DEAD ZONE AND THE JEEP WANDERS BACK AND FORTH, MAKING IT DIFFICULT TO KEEP IN A STRAIGHT LINE AND VERY DANGEROUS/FEELS AS IF I COULD LOSE CONTROL. SEVERAL COMPLAINTS FOR SAME ISSUE ON NHTSA FROM OTHER 2018 JL OWNERS. NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED AND A SAFETY RECALL INITIATED TO CORRECT AS NO DEALERSHIPS ARE FIXING THE ISSUE. COULD CAUSE ACCIDENT AND FATALITY AND EXTREME LIABILITY FOR FCA.

JEEP STEERING HAS A DEAD SPOT, WHICH ALLOW THE JEEP TO WANDER BACK AND FORTH IN A LANE. IF IT HAS ANY SIDE WIND THE JEEP BECOME VERY DIFFICULT TO CONTROL. SEEM LIKE TO MUCH PLAY IN THE STEERING BOX. THIS IS NOT A JEEP THING AS THE DEALER STATES, ITS A REAL PROBLEM THAT FCA SEEM TO NOT WANT TO ADDRESS.

STEERING HAS BIG DEADSPOT IN MIDDLE WHERE YOU TURN THE WHEEL AND IT DOESN'T ACTUALLY TURN THE TIRES/VEHICLE. IT'S MORE NOTICEABLE ABOVE 60MPH. IT CAUSES THE VEHICLE TO BE ALL OVER THE LANE AND CAN BE SCARY AT TIMES AS IT WILL SOMETIMES CAUSE ME TO GET TOO CLOSE TO OTHER VEHICLES IN NEXT LANE OVER. THIS IS NOT FOR A SINGLE DATE. IT HAPPENS ALL THE TIME.

Mileage: 2,000

THE STEERING IS EXTREMELY LOOSE AND VAGUE ON CENTER. THERE IS NO MOVEMENT WITH THE WHEELS IN RELATION TO STEERING INPUT FOR 1.5 INCHES ON EITHER SIDE OF CENTER. THIS RESULTS IN CONSTANT CORRECTION AND OVER-CORRECTION CYCLES TO TRY TO MAINTAIN LANE POSITION. THE PROBLEM IS NOTICEABLE AT 45MPH, AND IS SIGNIFICANTLY WORSE AT HIGHWAY AND INTERSTATE SPEEDS (70MPH). BUMPY OR WINDY CONDITIONS MAKE THE CONTROL PROBLEMS WORSE. THE PROBLEM BECOMES MORE UNSAFE ON CURVY ROADS WITH HEAVY TRAFFIC WHERE I AM UNABLE TO MAINTAIN SPEED WITH OTHER VEHICLES AND IT'S VERY DIFFICULT TO REMAIN WITHIN LANE MARKINGS.

Mileage: 300

THE 2018 JEEP JL HAVE ELECTRONIC STEERING CONTROL AND PAST 60MPG, IT MAKES IT DIFFICULT TO STEER TO THE RIGHT. THE STEERING STICKS AND I HAVE TO MUSCLE IT TO GET IT TO STEER TO THE RIGHT WHICH HAS MADE ME ALMOST GET INTO SEVERAL ACCIDENTS.

WHEN THIS DANGEROUS INCIDENT OCCURRED, I HAD MY DAUGHTER AND TWO GRANDCHILDREN IN THE VEHICLE WITH ME AND WE WERE TRAVELING ON A FOUR-LANE, DIVIDED HIGHWAY. I WAS PREPARING TO MOVE FROM THE INSIDE TO THE OUTSIDE LANE OF TRAVEL IN ANTICIPATION OF MAKING A RIGHT-HAND TURN. WHEN I BEGAN TO TURN THE STEERING WHEEL TO THE RIGHT, IT FELT LIKE THE STEERING WAS LOCKED AND IT WAS ONLY WITH A GOOD DEAL OF FORCE THAT I WAS ABLE TO COMPLETE MY LANE CHANGE. IT WAS VERY DIFFICULT TO APPLY ENOUGH FORCE TO TURN THE STEERING WHEEL WHILE SIMULTANEOUSLY NOT APPLYING TOO MUCH SO AS TO CAUSE MYSELF TO OVERSTEER AND POTENTIAL LEAVE THE ROADWAY. WHEN I GOT TO THE INTERSECTION WHERE I NEEDED TO MAKE MY RIGHT-HAND TURN, I AGAIN HAD TO APPLY A GOOD DEAL OF FORCE TO TURN THE STEERING WHEEL AND COMPLETE MY TURN. THIS CONDITION CONTINUED UNTIL I ARRIVED HOME SOME FIVE TO TEN MILES AWAY. I WOULD LIKE TO NOTE THAT IT WAS VERY HOT THAT AFTERNOON (APPROXIMATELY 95F). I HAVE READ THAT JEEP IS AWARE OF THIS ISSUE AND THAT THE PRIME SUSPECT IN THE CAUSE OF THIS SAFETY ISSUE IS THE NEW ALUMINUM STEERING GEAR BOX THEY INTRODUCED ON THIS MODEL. THE FACT THAT ALUMINUM HAS A GREATER THERMAL EXPANSION RATE THAN THE PREVIOUSLY USED STEEL STEERING GEARBOXES CERTAINLY WARRANTS THIS SUSPICION. I HAVE ALSO READ THAT THE MANUFACTURER HAS HAD SEVERAL "CONFIRMED REPAIRS" OF THIS "STEERING LOCKUP" ISSUE BY REPLACING THE STEERING GEARBOX WITH A RUMORED NEW, MODIFIED ONE. WITH THESE CONSIDERATIONS IN MIND, I BELIEVE THE HIGH TEMPERATURES OF THAT DAY CONTRIBUTED TO THE EXPANSION OF MY JEEP'S ALUMINUM GEARBOX CAUSING IT TO BIND UP AND LOCK THE STEERING. A FURTHER INDICATION THAT THIS MIGHT BE THE CASE IS THE FACT THAT HOURS LATER AFTER BOTH THE VEHICLE AND THE AMBIENT TEMPERATE HAD COOLED, THE STEERING RETURNED TO NORMAL.

Mileage: 400

STEERING GEAR BOX LOCKS UP OCCASIONALLY WHILE TRYING TO TURN, INHIBITING A TURN FROM BEING MADE WHILE MOVING. SEEMS TO ONLY HAPPEN WHEN IT IS HOT.

THE JEEP WANDERS AND DRIFTS AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS...STEERING IS BAD!!! I GET THE WANDERING AND THE DEAD SPOT AND FLOATING FEEL WHEN ON LONG STRAIGHT AWAYS DOING 50+ MPH. IT'S A CAUSE AND EFFECT BECAUSE OF THE UNRESPONSIVENESS OF THE STEERING, SO YOU OVERCORRECT CAUSING YOU TO GO SIDE TO SIDE IN THE LANE. THUS MAKING IT ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO KEEP IT GOING STRAIGHT AND REQUIRING YOU TO DRIVE WITH TWO HANDS ON THE WHEEL. MY TIRES WERE AT 44 PSI. AIRED THEM DOWN TO 38 PSI. DID NOT HELP BECAUSE THE STEERING AT HIGHER SPEEDS IS JUST SLOPPY AND UNRESPONSIVE WITH A GOOD 1 INCH PLUS OF PLAY IN THE WHEEL. I ALSO TRIED THE ROUGH COUNTRY STEERING STABILIZER. IT DID NOTHING TO HELP THE WANDERING. IT WAS ACTUALLY WORSE THEN STOCK. IN FACT I GOT A LOT MORE BOUNCE ON THE TIRES WHEN I HIT A BUMP OR HOLE IN THE ROAD, SO I PUT THE STOCK STEERING STABILIZER BACK ON. IT SEEMS THAT IT TAKES THE COMPUTER A FEW SECONDS TOO LONG TO RECEIVE THE INPUT FROM THE STEERING WHEEL. I'M NO ENGINEER OR MECHANIC AND I'M NOT TOO SMART (LOL) BUT I CAN TELL YOU THERE IS AN ISSUE WITH THE SOFTWARE AND STEERING BOX (GEAR). LIKE I SAID, I HAVE HAD NUMEROUS JEEPS AND TRUCKS AND I HAVE BEEN A POLICE OFFICER FOR OVER 20 YEARS, SO HAVE A TON OF DRIVING EXPERIENCE AND I HAVE NEVER HAD ANY VEHICLE WITH THIS STEERING ISSUE. THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE ESPECIALLY AT HIGHER SPEEDS ON MAJOR HIGHWAYS, WHERE YOU FEEL IT AND DEAL WITH IT MOST. JEEP AND FCA NEED TO GET THERE [XXX] IN GEAR AND FIX THIS ISSUE ASAP BEFORE THERE IS A FATALITY. INFORMATION Redacted PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).

THERE IS AN ISSUE WITH THE STEERING CONTROL SYSTEM ON 2018 JEEP WRANGLER FROM THE FACTORY. THE ISSUE REQUIRES CONSTANT STEERING EFFORT TO KEEP THE VEHICLE IN LANE AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. THE VEHICLE WANDERS AROUND ALL OVER THE LANE ABOVE 65 MILES PER HOUR. THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL FOR THIS VEHICLE, BECAUSE IT IS UNSAFE TO DRIVE ON THE HIGHWAY.

HELLO , I HAVE ABOUT 1,700 MILES ON MY JLUR AND THE STEERING ISSUE IS SO FRUSTRATING.THIS PAST WEEK I TOOK A ROAD TRIP AND FOUND MYSELF MAKING CORRECTIONS CONSTANTLY. ... ON GOING SINCE PURCHASE. THE ISSUE SEEMS TO BE A DEAD SPOT/PLAY AT CENTER WHERE IT TAKES CONSTANT BACK AND FORTH..NOT AS BAD UNDER 50 MPH..ON A SIDE STREET..GETS WORSE ABOVE 50 MPH ON A FREEWAY. STEERING HAS NEVER BEEN RIGHT. MY WIFE WILL NOT DRIVE IT. I TOOK TO MY DEALERSHIP AND THEY WERE NO HELP THEY JUST INDICATED THAT'S HOW THEY DRIVE.....NOT TRUE. I WOULD LIKE TO TAKE IT TO ANOTHER LOCAL DEALERSHIP TO HAVE IT RESOLVED.I AM HOPING THIS IS POSSIBLY A STEERING BOX ISSUE- REPLACEMENT OR ADJUSTMENT .THERE ARE REPORTS OF THIS RESOLVING THE ISSUE. I REALLY NEED YOUR HELP ON THIS ISSUE. WE LOVE EVERYTHING ELSE ON THE JEEP. JUST WANT IT TO STEER CORRECTLY. THANK YOU FOR ANY ASSISTANCE YOU CAN PROVIDE TO EXPEDITE THIS ISSUE, NOTE: IT HAS HAD AN ALIGNMENT AND TIRE PRESSURE IS CORRECT AS WELL.

THE STEERING GETS STUCK AT VARIOUS TIMES WHEN TURNING TO THE LEFT. MY FAMILY WAS EXITING A HIGHWAY ON OUR RIGHT, TAKING THE OFF RAMP TO ANOTHER HIGHWAY ON OUR LEFT. THE VEHICLE DID NOT WANT TO TURN TO THE LEFT IN THE CURVE OF THE OFF RAMP. IT TOOK SIGNIFICANT FORCE TO KEEP IT FROM HITTING THE SIDE OF THE ON RAMP (WHICH WAS ON AN ELEVATED HIGHWAY) THEN OVER CORRECTED FROM THIS SIGNIFICANT FORCE AND PUT US INTO THE NEXT LANE BARELY MISSING OTHER CARS. ON ANOTHER OCCASION WE WERE NOT ABLE TO TURN TO THE LEFT WHEN MERGING LANES ALMOST CAUSING ANOTHER ACCIDENT.

THERE IS EXCESSIVE PLAY IN THE STEERING WHEEL, CAUSING CONSTANT CORRECTIONS FOR STRAIGHT HIGHWAY DRIVING, AND THE VEHICLE WANDERS ALL OVER THE LANE. CONSTANT ATTENTION IS NEEDED TO GO STRAIT. IF LOOKING AWAY FOR A SECOND, I HAVE FOUND MYSELF DRIFTING INTO AN ENTIRELY DIFFERENT LANE.

AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS OF 50 OR MORE THE STEERING HAS 3"S OF PLAY IN IT TURNING THE STEERING WHEEL WITHOUT MAKING THE VEHICLE ACTUALLY MOVE IN THAT DIRECTION. THIS MAKES IT HARD TO STAY IN MY LANE AND IT IS TIRING MAKING CORRECTIONS EVERY SECOND. MY JEEP DEALER LOOKED AT IT AND SAID EVERYTHING IS TIGHT AND GAVE IT BACK TO ME AS COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG. REALLY?

STEERING HAS A SUBSTANTIAL DEAD-ZONE IN THE MIDDLE WHERE TURNING THE WHEEL DOES NOTHING. ON TOP OF THAT, AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS ITS DIFFICULT TO KEEP THE VEHICLE IN A STRAIGHT LINE, YOU CONSTANTLY HAVE TO CORRECT TO KEEP IT DRIVING STRAIGHT.

THERE IS TOO MUCH PLAY IN THE STEERING WHEEL (NEED TO MOVE STEERING WHEEL TOO FAR BEFORE VEHICLE REACTS). ALSO, THE VEHICLE TENDS TO "WANDER" AND DOES NOT TRACK IN A STRAIGHT LINE (ESPECIALLY AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS). I HAVE TO MAKE CONSTANT STEERING CORRECTIONS TO STAY IN MY LANE. THE PROBLEM IS ESPECIALLY NOTICEABLE WHEN TRAVELING ALONG CURVES AS THE VEHICLE STARTS TO SWAY ERRATICALLY BACK AND FORTH WITH THESE ADJUSTMENTS. DRIVING THE VEHICLE TAKES TOO MUCH WORK AND SEEMS UNSAFE. I HAVE TAKEN IT TO THE DEALERSHIP TWICE FOR THIS ISSUE. THE FIRST TIME, I WAS TOLD THAT NOTHING WAS FOUND AND THAT OTHER SIMILAR MODELS DROVE THE SAME. THE SECOND TIME, SOME ADJUSTMENTS WERE MADE, BUT IT WAS STILL FOUND TO BE "IN SPEC." THIS IS MY 5TH JEEP WRANGLER - NONE OF THE OTHERS FELT THIS UNSAFE TO DRIVE. I SUSPECT THERE MAY BE A PROBLEM WITH THE 2018 JL REDESIGN.

Mileage: 200

I HAD JUST PURCHASED THE VEHICLE AND WAS DRIVING IT HOME ON THE FREEWAY, WHEN I NOTICED THE VEHICLE WANDERING ALL OVER THE ROAD. THERE WAS AT LEAST ONE INCH OF FREE PLAY/DEAD SPACE IN THE MIDDLE OF THE STEERING TRAVEL WHERE STEERING INPUT DID NOT RESULT IN CORRESPONDING TURNING EFFECT. THIS CAUSED CONTINUAL CORRECTION AND OVER-CORRECTION. IT WAS A FRIGHTENING EXPERIENCE TO SAY THE LEAST. IT WAS ESPECIALLY BAD IN WINDY CONDITIONS OR WHEN PASSING LARGE TRUCKS.

I HAVE POSTED IN ANOTHER THREAD ABOUT THE STEERING ISSUE, BUT I WANTED TO UPDATE YOU ALL AS WELL. I PICKED UP MY NEW JLU RUBICON OVER A MONTH AGO AND AFTER LIMITED DRIVING (200 MILES), IT SITS IN THE DRIVEWAY. THE DEALER TIGHTENED UP THE STEERING BOX, BUT THAT WAS NOT THE FIX. IT IS SIMPLY DANGEROUS TO DRIVE AT SPEED ON THE HIGHWAY. WHAT EXACTLY HAPPENS IS WHEN YOU TRY TO MAKE A SMALL STEERING INPUT, NOTHING HAPPENS. SO YOU ADD A LITTLE MORE INPUT AND IT OVER CORRECTS LEADING YOU TO TRY TO CORRECT IN THE OTHER DIRECTION WHICH MAKES IT OVERCORRECT IN THE OTHER DIRECTION. NOW YOU HAVE TO FIGHT IT TO KEEP IT IN ITS LANE, ITS LIKE DRIVING ON A SNOW COVERED ROAD. SO YESTERDAY I ASKED THE SERVICE MANAGER TO CALL HIS JEEP REP AND THIS IS HIS REPLY: "YES IT IS STEERING GEAR, STEERING CHUCK. THERE IS NO SENSE REPLACING WITH THE SAME ONE THEY HAVE THAT THEY ARE USING ON THE ASSEMBLY LINE. THEY NEED TO HAVE A UPDATED ONE FIRST, OR WE ARE NOT ACCOMPLISHING ANYTHING AT ALL. I AM ON IT WITH THE T/A FOR CHRYSLER.......WAITING ON HIS RESPONSE. CHRYSLER IS VERY AWARE OF THE CONCERN NOW." SO JEEP IS AWARE AND SWAPPING OUT THE STEERING BOX SEEMS LIKE IT'S NOT THE FIX. I'M NOT REAL HAPPY THAT THEY ARE NOT PUBLICIZING THIS TO NEW JLU OWNER. I DON'T KNOW WHAT A STEERING CHUCK IS, BUT EVIDENTLY IT NEEDS TO BE UPDATED. THIS IS AN ONGOING PROBLEM WHICH STARTED RIGHT WHEN I TOOK DELIVERY AND CONTINUES TO TODAY. I HAVE SINCE DROPPED THE JEEP OF AT THE DEALER AND WILL NOT PICK IT BACK UP UNTIL THE PROBLEM IS SOLVED.

NEW JL SAHARA HAS SERIOUS PLAY IN THE STEERING WHEEL MAKING IT A CONSTANT BATTLE TO GET THE CAR TO TRACK STRAIGHT. YOU HAVE TO CONSTANTLY MAKE ADJUSTMENTS TO KEEP THE VEHICLE IN YOUR LANE. I WAS PULLED OVER FOR 'ERRATIC DRIVING' ON A 45MPH CITY ROAD ON THE FIRST DAY OF OWNERSHIP. I HAVE NOT BEEN PULLED OVER IN 10 YEARS PRIOR TO THIS. THERE IS A FULL 1" OF LOOSE PLAY IN THE WHEEL WHEN DRIVING AT ANY SPEED. THE TRACK WILL NOT ADJUST IN THAT 1" RANGE SO YOU GET A 'SHAKEY' EFFECT TRYING TO STEER ACCURATELY. THIS IS MY 3RD WRANGLER MODEL AND SOMETHING IS OBVIOUSLY WRONG. IT IS NOT A "JEEP THING" AS MY TJ AND JK MODELS DID NOT HAVE THIS TYPE OF PLAY IN THE STEERING. FCA IS AWARE OF THIS ISSUE AND NEED TO STOP SALES AND ISSUE AN IMMEDIATE RECALL BEFORE SOMEONE DIES.

VEHICLE HAS AN UNUSUALLY LARGE "DEAD" SPOT WHEN THE STEERING WHEEL IS ON CENTER. VEHICLE REQUIRES CONSTANT SMALL CORRECTIONS TO REMAIN IN THE CENTER OF A LANE WHEN DRIVING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS, AND ROAD IRREGULARITIES OR WIND GUSTS CAN CAUSE ABRUPT (BUT SMALL) CHANGES IN DIRECTION REQUIRING A QUICK RESPONSE FROM THE DRIVER TO MAINTAIN THE DESIRED DIRECTION. OFF-CENTER THE STEERING CONTROL APPEARS FINE, PARTICULARLY AT LOWER SPEEDS.

I TOOK DELIVERY OF THIS NEW VEHICLE IN EARLY JUNE 2018. SINCE FIRST DRIVING IT, I AM EXPERIENCING WAY TOO MUCH "STEERING PLAY" AT THE CENTER POSITION OF THE STEERING WHEEL AT SPEEDS ABOVE 40-50 MPH, ESPECIALLY WHEN DRIVING ON PERFECTLY STRAIGHT AND SMOOTH HIGHWAYS. AT TIMES IT IS QUITE DIFFICULT TO KEEP THE VEHICLE ON A RELIABLE STRAIGHT PATH; TOO MUCH FREQUENT STEERING INPUT IS REQUIRED TO STAY COMFORTABLY CENTERED IN MY LANE. I'VE HAD SEVERAL "WHITE KNUCKLE" DRIVING EVENTS IN PERFECT DRIVING CONDITIONS (SUNNY, DRY, GOOD ROAD, NO EXCESSIVE SPEED) -- ALL DUE TO THE VAGUE STEERING AND CONSTANT NEED TO CORRECT AND RE-CORRECT A STRAIGHT-LINE STEERING PATH WHEN DRIVING ABOVE APPROXIMATELY 40-50 MPH. I HAVE HAD A JEEP DEALER INSPECT THE VEHICLE. THE DEALER ADJUSTED THE WHEEL ALIGNMENT, BUT OTHERWISE PRONOUNCED IT OK. THE WHEEL ALIGNMENT DID NOTHING TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM. I HAVE HAD THIS "WANDERING STEERING" PROBLEM ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS WHILE DRIVING THIS VEHICLE. I AM INDICATING TODAY'S DATE IN THE "WHEN DID THIS HAPPEN" SECTION OF YOUR FORM.

AT RANDOM TIMES WHEN DRIVING VEHICLE IT FEELS AS IF MY JEEP IS FLOATING OVER THE ROAD AND IN AND OUT OF MY LANE. I NOTICE IT MORE AS HIGHER SPEEDS. WHEN I TRY TO COMPENSATE IT FEELS LIKE THE STEERING IS ALL OVER THE PLACE AND YOU HAVE TO OVER CORRECT TO GET IT TO RESPOND. IT CAN BE VERY SCARY. TOOK IT TO DEALER AND HAD IT CHECKED OUT. THEY HAD OVER INFLATED THE TIRES. THEY CORRECTED TIRE PRESSURE BUT IT STILL HAPPENS AT RANDOM TIMES. THEY SAID IT CHECKS OUT FINE. I FEEL LIKE IT AN ACCIDENT WAITING TO HAPPEN. OTHER JEEP OWNERS HAVE DRIVEN MY VEHICLE AND THEY AGREE THAT IT IS NOT NORMAL. I KNOW IT HAS ELECTRONIC STEERING. IT FEELS LIKE A LOSS OF STEERING CONTROL AT TIMES.

STEERING NEARLY LOCKS UP WHILE DRIVING IN HOT WEATHER. DRIVING ON WINDY ROADS THE WHEEL FIGHTS ME WHILE TURNING ONLY TO LET GO CAUSING ME TO SWERVE. IT'S THE WORST ON HOT DAYS WITH THE TRUCK FULLY WARMED UP (MID 80'S, AC ON). THE STEERING ISSUE HAPPENS IN BOTH DIRECTIONS BUT FEELS LIKE STRONGER RESISTANCE GOING LEFT. ALSO HAD A SCARE WHEN THE WHEEL GOT STUCK GOING BACK TO CENTER AFTER MAKING A RIGHT TURN. THIS ALMOST FORCED ME INTO THE WOODS WITH MY DAUGHTER IN THE TRUCK. CHANGING LANES AND GENTLE CURVES ON THE HIGHWAY ARE ALSO SCARY. I'VE HAD THE TRUCK FOR LESS THAN 2 WEEKS AND I'M GETTING INCREASINGLY MORE NERVOUS TO DRIVE IT.

NEW VEHICLE WITH 300 MILES ON ODOMETER EXHIBITED VAGUE STEERING AND WONDERED BACK AND FORTH ALL OVER THE ROAD. REQUIRES CONSTANT STEERING WHEEL INPUT TO DRIVE IN A STRAIGHT PATH DOWN THE HIGHWAY. TIRE PRESSURES ARE ALL SET TO SPECIFICATIONS. TEST DROVE TWO ADDITIONAL IDENTICAL MODELS AND HAD THE SAME EXPERIENCE. FOUND MANY REPORTS FROM OWNERS ONLINE OF THE SAME PROBLEM. THE STEERING/HANDLING IS VERY DISCONCERTING ON THE NEW WRANGLER JL MODELS. AFTER ONE MONTH WITH THE VEHICLE, DRIVABILITY HASN'T IMPROVED. HAVE NOTIFIED JEEP DIRECTLY VIA THEIR WEBSITE AND SOCIAL MEDIA REPRESENTATIVES. WILL BE DISCUSSING ISSUE WITH MY DEALERSHIP IN THE NEAR FUTURE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2018 JEEP WRANGLER. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 70 MPH, THE STEERING WHEEL BECAME DIFFICULT TO MANEUVER. IN ADDITION, THE ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO HUDSON CHRYSLER JEEP DODGE RAM (625 ROUTE 440 SOUTH, JERSEY CITY, NJ 07305) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE TRACK BAR FRACTURED AT THE AXLE FRAME AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 800.

IN MOTION OVER 45MPH, THE JEEP WILL SUDDENLY EXPERIENCE A STEERING WOBBLE THAT CAUSES ALMOST COMPLETE LACK OF CONTROL. TO FIX THE ISSUE, SPEED MUST BE DECREASED TO <10MPH WHICH CAN BE EXTREMELY DANGEROUS DUE TO TRAFFIC AND HIGH SPEEDS. THE STEERING WHEEL IS ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO CONTROL. PROBLEM IS REPRODUCIBLE ON ALL ROADS AND IN ALL CONDITIONS. I WOULD ESTIMATE THAT THE DRIVER IS LEFT WITH 10% CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE, AND LEFT IN A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION.
