2018 JEEP WRANGLER Suspension Problems

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.

Car Shakes like crazy ( death wobble) expecially on Highway from hitting a little bump or transition on road.

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.

After purchasing seems the vin was updated with information I was not disclosed. The bcm has never worked correctly the instrument panel is erratic and even with a code reader showing P codes there’s no check light. The steering makes the entire vehicle jump over half a road. Blind spot monitors don’t know what to do sometimes they are unavailable, odometer has all 9s sometimes. I did all the checks on the vehicle at the time and what I was given showed I had a 2018 4 door Sahara and that was what I was led to believe. After having issues and getting my registration I started looking at everything more because the dealer registered me as a commercial passenger truck(still don’t know why) but found a report that says Moab/sahara and my seems my vehicles body chasis and motor are all over the place. I’m pretty sure the engine is failing as at one point in one of the reports I found it stated it failed emissions. But the overall worst is that the suspension looks like it came off the titanic compared to the body panels, there’s a lot of welding and rusted or “appearingly tampered” pieces in the chassis and the vehicle seems to be coming apart at every seam. I am currently not driving it because it looks to have sank down to where it could be dangerous I’m pretty sure the suspension, frame, and axles aren’t rated for what’s on it and sounded like something may be coming off at the wheel or axle area last time I did drive it. The vehicle I thought I was purchasing had safety guidelines and there is 2.0 parts, 3.6 parts on this along with random other countries parts. It was bought used “As-Is” but not under the pretense that they assembled it by hand from leftovers. It wouldn’t pass safety standards or emissions in a foreign country much less in the UNITED STATES. I am starting here but will be seeking legal counsel. No longer certain I even have a jeep frame or chassis or just some panels stuck to a rusting timebomb. I’ve only drove like 8,000 miles. Now I’m scared to

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!

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 contact owns a 2018 Jeep Wrangler. The contact stated while driving at approximately 55 MPH, the vehicle violently shuddered. No warning light was illuminated. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic to be diagnosed; however, the cause of the failure was not determined. The vehicle was not repaired. The vehicle was taken back to the independent mechanic to be diagnosed; however, the cause of the failure was not determined. The vehicle was not repaired. The vehicle was taken to a different independent mechanic where it was diagnosed and determined that the track bar needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was unknown.

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.

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.

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!

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.

I had the common issue with Jeep ‘18 wranglers called the “death wobble”. I read many articles saying it’s common with jeeps from the 2018 era. One day I was driving and it stopped in the middle of the road. I couldn’t accelerate or brake. I could not fully get the vehicle off a busy highway. I took it in before this to get it diagnosed and mechanics could not figure it out. After this incident I towed it to the dealership and they replaced my drive shaft because it was completely destroyed. I am now paying $2000 in repairs.

Jeep wrangler jl with 23,000 miles driving 55 mph. Jeep front end started shaking violently and brake pedal pulsating so that I could not brake or steer vehicle. Did Google search and this has been a major Jeep wrangler issue. As an engineer Jeep designers did not understand harmonic frequencies when designing or specificity front end design. This happened 3 times before Wisc. Cambridge service could replace front end steering component at $600 cost. Very dangerous on highway going 55 mph with no vehicle control. I believe you are aware of this issue and have failed your duty to force mfg to fix with a recall.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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)

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.

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.

Experienced what people are calling the "death wobble"

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

Driving at 60 mph on I-35 North Highway in Kansas City. Hit a bridge seam and the front end began to shake violently. I had to slow down to get the vibration to stop. I definitely experienced the Jeep death wobble in the front suspension.

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

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.

Trac bar bracket weld separated from axle

At highway speeds when driving over surface imperfections, the jeep randomly and suddenly starts to wobble uncontrollably, with a significant wobble in the steering wheel. This wobbling goes away when the vehicle slows down, but pops up again in a random manner when driving over any surface imperfection / bump / road seam at highway speeds

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.

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,

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 owns a 2018 Jeep Wrangler. The contact stated while driving at various speeds, the vehicle experienced a death wobble while driving over a bump or an object in the roadway. There was no warning light illuminated. The vehicle had been taken to the local dealer and the stabilizer bar was replaced; however, the failure persisted. The manufacturer had been informed of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was unknown.

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?

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.

In right lane of US19 south bound at about 58 mph, experienced extreme frame vibration after driving over deterioration of asphalt portion of road (which I have driven over hundreds of times with no abnormal effect). Immediately de-accelerated and pulled over into the grassy area of the shoulder of the road. Got out to inspected vehicle, especially the front end structure and wheels for any sign of damage; I could find none. Carefully drove the Jeep home and again inspection the undercarriage of the vehicle for any sign of damage; none found. Took the Jeep into a local shop for extensive inspection of the the vehicle suspension, steering, tires, etc. for any indication of damage which would have caused the above situation; none was found. Even when I drove the Jeep after the situation, it drove normally. I had taken the Jeep in for the 48CHZ: Recall v88 recall on 20Apr20 and 48CHZ: Recall y95 (reconfiguration or power steering assist/ElectroHydraulic Power Steering (EHPS) calibrations) on 2Jul18. I am a retired Marine Corps Officer and I do not do any "off roading" driving with my Jeep, only normal Hi-way driving. I have done no modifications to the front end/lift of the Jeep. Therefore, I am concerned why I have experienced this condition; possible the "Death Wobble" even though I have had the recall "fix". I can only deduce that I experienced what was called the "Death Wooble" which the Jeep JL was experiencing when it first came out. My Jeep only has 27,318 miles on it. Thank you for your time in this matter and I look forward to receiving some form of response. Respectfully, [XXX] LtCol.

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.

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.

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.

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!

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 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.

The contact owns a 2018 Jeep Wrangler. The contact stated while driving approximately 65 MPH, the front wheels started to shake and wobble. The contact stated no warning light was illuminated. The contact stated that the failure was corrected independently. The contact took the vehicle to the local dealer, where it was diagnosed with needing the steering bow and track bar to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired but continued to experience the failure. The contact called the local dealer and made them aware of the failure. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer had not been informed of the failure. The failure mileage was 14,480.

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 contact owns a 2018 Jeep Wrangler. The contact stated that while driving at various speeds, the vehicle drove over a bump in the roadway and experienced the death wobble.

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.

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.

i took to my local mechanic after noticing that the car shakes very time i hit bumps while driving my mechanic inspected it and noticed that there's a crack in the the weld in the front track bar bracket. same as the safety recall UA5 that FCA has for the same year and model jeep for that year and when i called them they said that mine was built after that by a month.

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.

My Jeep experienced sever wobbling, as if the front wheels were coming off. So, I took it to a repair shop and they said it was the "death wobble." When I took it to the Autonation Jeep Dealership, South, Columbus GA. I was told that they had a recall on that 2 years and 3 months ago, and since the 2 year warranty expired, there was nothing they could do about it. If a recall doesn't work, then isn't the dealership still required to fix a manufacturer defect? My Jeep had an additional recall, which the dealership performed last week, and the dealership thought this new recall (computer update) might fix the death wobble problem. When I picked up my Jeep last week after this second recall, my heat and A/C no longer worked--all controls on the Jeep no longer worked. The dealership said they just followed the procedure in the recall, and since the recall resulted in the loss of my heat, A/C and defrosting, that I needed to deal with Jeep USA. I have submitted my case to Customer Care (FCA US, LLC) at Jeep USA, and they are telling me they might be able to ship a part in 6 weeks. My car has no heater. No accountability. I need to be compensated for the damages they have caused to my Jeep! Thanks, [XXX] INFORMATION Redacted PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).

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

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.

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

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.

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.

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 WILL PROVIDE A LINK OF A PERSON WHO GOT THESE ISSUES REPAIRED THIS INDIVIDUAL HAS THE SAME MAKE MODEL AND YEAR JEEP I HAVE. HTTPS://WWW.YOUTUBE.COM/WATCH?V=ASZ1WUJBJBY . I DO NOT FEEL COMFORTABLE DRIVING THIS VEHICLE IT FEELS DANGEROUS TO ME ... MY WIFE WILL NOT DRIVE IT AT ALL AND SHE WAS THE ONE WHO WANTED THE VEHICLE SINCE WE BOUGHT IT FOR HER. THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON SINCE WE BOUGHT THE VEHICLE. 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. IT GETS SO BAD AT TIMES IN THE RAIN I HAVE TO GET IN THE RIGHT LANE AND DRIVE 30 MILES PER HOUR IN A 70 MILE PER HOUR ZONE . THE JEEP HAS ONLY 5K MILES

AFTER STEERING DAMPER RECALL WAS COMPLETED I'M STILL EXPERIENCING THE "DEATH WOBBLE".VEHICLE ONLY HAS 2,600 MILES AND HAS BEEN TO THE DEALERSHIP 3 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 TO 35 MPH. ISSUE CONTINUES TO HAPPEN AND FCA IS NOT ADDRESSING A PERMANENT RESOLUTION. I FEEL THE VEHICLE IS UNSAFE AND CAN POSE A LIFE THREATENING SITUATION FOR ME AND MY PASSENGERS.

WHEN TRAVELING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS, A SMALL BUMP IN THE ROAD CAUSES THE STEERING WHEEL AND FRONT SUSPENSION TO SHAKE VIOLENTLY. THE JEEP DEALERSHIP HAS REPLACED THE STEERING DAMPNER TWICE BUT THERE IS NO GUARANTEE IT WILL FIX THE ISSUE

MY JEEP STARTED TO SHAKE VIOLENTLY AFTER DRIVING OVER SOME SMALL BUMPS ON THE HIGHWAY WHILE DRIVING 60-65 MPH. I HAD TO PULL MY CAR OVER. I THOUGHT I BLEW A TIRE, BUT I DID NOT. I DROVE OFF WITHOUT THE VEHICLE SHAKING AFTER I WAITED A FEW MINUTES. UNFORTUNATELY, IT HAPPENED AGAIN IN THE SAME DAY WHEN I DROVE OVER A ROUGH PATCH ON THE HIGHWAY TRAVELING THE SAME SPEED. I PULLED OVER AGAIN AND WAITED BEFORE DRIVING OFF. I DID SOME RESEARCH AND LEARNED THIS IS A KNOW SAFETY PROBLEM WITH JEEPS CALLED A "DEATH WOBBLE". I MADE AN APPOINTMENT TO HAVE MY JEEP LOOKED AT ON 2-4-2020, HOWEVER THE SERVICE GARAGE HAD TO CANCEL MY APPOINTMENT DUE TO THEIR INTERNET BEING DOWN. I HAVE RESCHEDULED FOR 2-7-2020. IF THE SERVICE DOES NOT CORRECT THE PROBLEM, WHAT AM I TO DO? THANK YOU, [XXX]. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

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.

2018 JEEP WRANGLER HAS THE "DEATH WOBBLE." SPECIFICALLY, WHILE DRIVING ABOVE 50 MPH, THE VEHICLE SOMEWHAT FREQUENTLY HITS A BUMP OR CRACK IN THE ROAD WHICH CAUSES THE FRONT SUSPENSION TO VIOLENTLY SHAKE AND ESSENTIALLY LOSE CONTROL. THE ONLY CURE FOR THIS "DEATH WOBBLE" PROBLEM IS TO SLOW DOWN TO BELOW 20 MPH OR MORE OFTEN SLOW DOWN TO A COMPLETE STOP. THIS VEHICLE IS ESSENTIALLY IMPOSSIBLE TO DRIVE ON THE HIGHWAY BECAUSE OF THIS PROBLEM. I CANNOT BELIEVE THAT THIS NHTSA HAS NOT ISSUED A WARNING OR A RECALL FOR THIS PROBLEM. IT IS BEYOND DANGEROUS, ESPECIALLY IN TRAFFIC.

Mileage: 5,500

WHEN LOOKING AT THE VEHICLE ON A CAR HOIST, UNSATISFACTORY WELDS ON THE CHASSIS WERE IDENTIFIED. THE WELDS OCCURRED AT VARIOUS LOCATIONS AND INCLUDED DEFECTS SUCH AS EXCESSIVE POROSITY, EXCESSIVE WELD SPATTER, AND OFF LOCATION OF THE ORIGINAL WELD AND TOUCH UP WELDS. I AM NOT A CERTIFIED WELD INSPECTOR, HOWEVER I AM A STATE CERTIFIED WELDER, AND FEDERALLY LICENSED AIRCRAFT MECHANIC. I HAVE BEEN TAUGHT TO IDENTIFY WELD DEFECTS, AND UNDERSTAND EFFECTS THEY HAVE ON STRUCTURAL STRENGTH. FOR BEING A ROBOTICALLY WELDED FRAME I FOUND THE QUALITY OF SOME WELDS UNACCEPTABLE, AND SHOULD NOT HAVE PASSED QUALITY CONTROL AT THE FACTORY. I AM NOT AN AUTOMOTIVE ENGINEER, NOR AM I A STRUCTURAL ENGINEER, HOWEVER I ASSUME THAT THE STRUCTURAL STRENGTH OF THE FRAME IN THIS STATE IS LESS OF THE ORIGINAL DESIGN STRENGTH. THIS ISSUE SHOULD BE DEALT WITH BEFORE SOMETHING BAD HAPPENS.

NOTHING HAPPENED PER SAY. SAW A NEWS STORY REGARDING THE INVESTIGATION INTO JEEP FOR POOR WORKMANSHIP ON FRAME WELDS. HAD MY JEEP LOOKED AT AND REALIZED MINE HAS FAULTY FRAME WELDS, AS WELL. SEE ATTACHED PHOTOS.

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.

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!

TL* THE CONTACT'S DAUGHTER OWNS A 2018 JEEP WRANGLER. WHILE DRIVING 70 MPH OVER A BUMP IN THE ROAD, THE VEHICLE SHOOK VIOLENTLY. THE SHAKING IN THE FRONT SUSPENSION CAUSED THE WINDSHIELD TO FRACTURE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO GLOCKNER CHRYSLER, DODGE, JEEP, RAM OF ASHLAND (1041 GREENUP AVE, ASHLAND, KY 41101, (606) 329-8616) TO BE DIAGNOSED, BUT THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE VEHICLE OPERATED AS INTENDED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FAILURE WAS INTERMITTENT AND WAS ONLY EVIDENT WHEN TRAVELING 70 MPH. THE MANUFACTURER WAS INFORMED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 34,000. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

THIS HAPPENED AT DIFFERENT TIMES AND DIFFERENT LOCATIONS ON THE BYPASS. THIS WOBBLE IS A FRIGHTENING EXPERIENCE, AND YOUR NOT SURE WHAT TO DO TO STOP IT.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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) .

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 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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

2018 JEEP WRANGLER SPORT S, COMPLETELY UNMODIFIED, EXHIBITED VIOLENT STEERING SHAKE OR "DEATH WOBBLE" WHENDRIVING HOME FROM THE DEALER WITH 27 MILES ON THE SPEEDOMETR AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. CONDITION INTENSIFIES UNTIL SPEED IS BROUGHT DOWN TO APPROXIMATELY 45 MPH (VERY DANGEROUS IN HIGHWAY TRAFFIC). THE DEALER REPLACED THE STEERING STABILIZER BEFORE I TOOK DELIVERY OF THE JEEP. UNFORTUNATELY THE VIOLENT STEERING SHAKE (DEATH WOBBLE) PERSISTS WHEN ENCOUNTERING UNEVEN ROAD SURFACES AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. THE VEHICLE STILL CONTINUES TO GO INTO FULL BLOWN DEATH WOBBLE. HAS HAPPENED AT LEAST 5 TIMES IN 5 DAYS OF DRIVING. THIS IS MY 4TH JEEP AND THE ONE ONE I HAVE HAD THAT HAS THIS CRAZY DEATH WOBBLE. I NEED THIS FIXED.

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 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.

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

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

JEEP JLU BEGAN "DEATH WOBBLE" AT 70MPH WHILE ON I-485 (SPEED LIMIT IS 70). HAD TO SLOW DOWN TO 40MPH TO GET IT TO STOP, WHICH ALMOST CAUSED A CRASH WITH VEHICLES BEHIND/BESIDE ME SLOWING TO MATCH. SINCE THEN, "DEATH WOBBLE" HAS OCCURRED 2-3 TIMES PER WEEK ON VARIOUS ROADS. SPEEDS 50-70. I NOW HAVE 3 ROADS WHERE I CAN REPLICATE IT AND WILL BE GOING BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP. WAS TOLD MONTHS AGO BY DEALERSHIP "IT'S NOT DEATH WOBBLE; SOMETIMES STUFF GETS STUCK IN THE WHEELS AND MAKES A CLUNKING SOUND." SORRY, NOT SORRY. ENTIRE JEEP FRONT END FELT LIKE IT WAS ON HYDRAULICS.

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.

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.

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.

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.

WHILE TRAVELING ON THE FREEWAY AT SPEEDS FROM 65-75 MY JEEP WILL START TO 'DEATH WOBBLE' WHEN YOU HIT A BUMP OR UNEVEN SPOT ON THE ROAD REQUIRING ME TO DECELERATE OR COME TO A COMPLETE STOP. 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.

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

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.

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.

Mileage: 4,100

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.

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.

WHEN DRIVING AT HIGHWAY SPEED HIT BUMP MY TRUCK SHAKES VIOLENTLY THAT I HAVE TO SLAM BREAKS JUST TO GET TRUNK UNDER CONTROL THIS IS KNOWN IN THE JEEP FORUMS AS THE DEATH SHAKE THE STEERING WHEEL SHAKE ALONG WITH ENTIRE TRUCK .I HAVE HAD MY WRANGLER SERVICED TWICE ALREADY AND THEY PUT IN STEERING DAMPER IN THE FIRST TIME AND 1 MONTH LATER IT WAS DOING IT AGAIN THEN I BROUGHT IT BACK AND THEY REPLACED IT AGAIN THE DAMPER WAS BAD FROM FACTORY NOT EVEN A WEEK LATER ITS DOING IT AGAIN,

Mileage: 21,000

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.

I HAVE BROUGHT MY VEHICLE TO THE DEALERSHIP TWO TIMES FOR THE DEATH WOBBLE. ON HIGHWAYS, GOING 55+ IF MY CAR HITS AN UNEVEN SURFACE OR BUMP, THE CAR SHAKES UNCONTROLLABLY UNTIL I REDUCE MY SPEED. IT DOESN'T HAPPEN EVERY TIME, BUT NOTICED ITS WHEN MY FOOT IS STILL ON THE GAS UPON HITTING THESE BUMPS. HORRIFYING - ESPECIALLY DRIVING WITH CHILDREN. PEOPLE DRIVING NEXT TO ME COULD SEE THE CAR DOING THIS AT ONE POINT

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. THIS VEHICLE HAS NO MODIFICATIONS, ALL PARTS AND ACCESSORIES ARE FACTORY INSTALLED AND MAINTAINED. DEALERSHIP HAS REPLACED THE STEERING DAMPENER WITH ISSUE CONTINUING. THIS ISSUE HAS BEEN OCCURRING OFF AND ON SINCE APPROXIMATELY 10K MILES OF USE.

!!! CAR CURRENTLY @ DEALERSHIP FOR 5TH TIME FOR SAME ISSUE !!! WHEN DRIVING @ HWY SPEEDS AND HIT A BUMP DIVOT OR POTHOLE THE ENTIRE JEEP VIOLENTLY VIBRATES SHAKES AND SWAYS FROM FRONT TO BACK. AFTER THE LATEST "FIX" NOW IT STILL VIBRATES SHAKES SWAYS AND NOW BOUNCES THE VEHICLE INTO ANOTHER LANE MY FAMILY & I NEARLY HIT ANOTHER VEHICLE ON THE HWY ON SATURDAY 3/23/19. 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. IT WAS A WHITE KNUCKLE DRIVING EXPERIENCE I DON'T WANT TO HAPPEN AGAIN. ITS DANGEROUS UNSAFE ALARMING & THREATENING TO ALL DRIVERS!

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.

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

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.

JEEP ATTEMPTED A SECOND FIX OF THE DEATH WOBBLE PROBLEM. BY CHANGING OUT THE DAMPENERS AND EXTENDING SOME ROD.

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.

STEERING WHEEL SAME. AS TRUCK SLOWED DOWN SHAKING STOPPED... DEALER REPLACED STABILITY BAR AND STATED PROBLEM WAS CORRECTED...

I HAVE ALREADY FILED ONE COMPLAINT ON THIS AND HEARD NOTHING. THIS IS THE SECOND TIME I HAVE HAD MY 2018 WRANGLER INTO THE SHOP FOR REPAIR FOR THE SAME ISSUE OF THE "DEATH WOBBLE" (WHEN HITTING A BUMP ON THE HIGHWAY IT GOES INTO A TERRIBLE WOBBLE YOU MUST SLOW WAY DOWN FOR). NO RECALL AND STILL HAVING PROBLEMS. THE LAST TIME IT WAS IN THE SHOP RECENTLY IT WAS IN THERE FOR 4 WEEKS. THIS IS RICICULOUS!

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

VIOLENT SHAKING IN THE FRONT END WHEN HITTING ANY BUMP IN EXCESS SPEEDS OF 50+MPH

Mileage: 5,000

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2018 JEEP WRANGLER. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 50 MPH, THE VEHICLE TRAVERSED A POTHOLE AND EXPERIENCED WHAT WAS KNOWN AS THE DEATH WOBBLE. THE CONTACT WAS ABLE TO SLOW DOWN THE VEHICLE, WHICH CORRECTED THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO BILL ESTES CHRYSLER DODGE JEEP RAM (LOCATED AT 745 E 56TH ST, BROWNSBURG, IN 46112, (317) 620-5175) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE TRACK BAR OR SWAY BAR NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FAILURE RECURRED FIVE TIMES. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 4,000.

Mileage: 4,000

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

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.

Mileage: 12,800

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.

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

WAS ON THE EXPRESSWAY AND IT STARTED SHAKING TERRIBLY WHEN I HIT A BUMP. HAD TO PULL OVER. HAPPENED THREE TIMES TODAY. I'VE NOTICED IT RANDOMLY ON OTHER RDS BUT NEVER THIS BAD.

Mileage: 10,000

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: 700

WHILE DRIVING HIGHWAY SPEEDS AND HITTING A BUMP OR GOING ACROSS A RAILROAD TRACK. I GET SUDDEN VIBRATION IN THE FRONT END END AND THROUGH MY STEERING WHEEL ALSO KNOWN AS THE DEATH WOBBLE. VERY DANGEROUS ESPECIALLY IF GOING IN A CORNER ON AN INTERSTATE.

Mileage: 6,500

ON THE HIGHWAY WHILE TRAVELING STRAIGHT AHEAD AT SPEEDS ABOVE 65 MPH ANY TIME THE VEHICLE IS INTRODUCED TO A BUMP, DIP IN THE HIGHWAY, TRANSITION TO A BRIDGE OR CHANGE IN PAVEMENT THE STEERING WHEEL SHAKES VIOLENTLY AND THE VEHICLE IS VIRTUALLY UNCONTROLLABLE. IN ORDER TO GET THE VEHICLE TO STOP SHAKING SPEED MUST BE REDUCED TO 30 MPH OR LOWER. THE VEHICLE IS NOT DRIVABLE AT HIGHWAY SPEED AS EVERY BUMP, DIP OR ROAD TRANSITION CAUSES THIS SYMPTOM.

Mileage: 500

THE STEERING WHEEL AND FRONT END WILL START SHAKING AT HIGHER SPEED AFTER HITTING SOME SMALL BUMP. IT'S GETTING SO BAD I'VE TO SLOW WAY DOWN ON THE FREEWAY TO GET THE JEEP BACK UNDER CONTROL. IT WOBBLES FROM ONE SIDE OF THE LANE TO THE OTHER. IT'S AT THE DEALERSHIP NOW BUT THEY DON'T KNOW WHAT'SS TRULY WRONG WITH THE JEEP. THE JEEP IS NEW WITH LESS THEN 13000 MILES. IT'S ALSO THE NEW JL MODLE

Mileage: 10,000

VIOLENT SHAKE IN STEERING WHEEL AND THE BEGINNING OF LOSS OF CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE. SPECIFICALLY AT HIGHWAY SPEED WHEN YOU DRIVE OVER A BUMP SUCH AS A BRIDGE EXPANSION JOINT, THE STEERING WHEEL WILL BEGIN SHAKING BACK AND FORTH VIOLENTLY. THIS RESONATES THROUGHOUT THE VEHICLE. IT CAN CONTINUE FOR IN EXCESS OF 15 SECONDS AND I NEED TO REDUCE THE JEEP'S SPEED TO LESS THAN 40MPH, AT WHICH TIME THE SHAKING GENERALLY STOPS. SLOWING TO 40MPH IN HIGHWAY TRAFFIC IS DANGEROUS TO ME AND OTHERS ON THE HIGHWAY. IF IN A LOW TRACTION SITUATION (SUCH AS SNOW) THIS WOULD LIKELY RESULT IN TOTAL LOSS OF CONTROL OF THE JEEP. THIS HAS BEEN TO THE DEALER 3 TIMES FOR THIS PROBLEM. BECAUSE THE DEALER IS LOCATED IN A RURAL AREA THEY HAVE BEEN UNWILLING TO DRIVE TO A HIGHWAY AND THEREFORE HAVE NOT REPLICATED THE PROBLEM. THE LAST TIME I WENT TO THE DEALER I SHOWED THE DEALERSHIP MANAGER A VIDEO OF THIS OCCURRING, AND HE WAS APPALLED AND SAID IT SHOULD NOT HAPPEN AND THAT I SHOULD CALL JEEP CUSTOMER CARE WHICH I DID. I HAVE CALLED ON DECEMBER 1,12,19,26 AND 27. THE CASE HAS BEEN ASSIGNED TO A CASE MANAGER, BUT THEY HAVE NOT CALLED ME. I HAVE ATTEMPTED TO ESCALATE TO A MANAGER, BUT I HAVE TOLD THEY ARE BUSY AND NOTHING THEY CAN DO, JEEP HAS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE WITH MY CAR AND THEY HAVE TO DATE REFUSED TO EVEN CALL ME BACK ( I HAVE ALSO CONFIRMED MY PHONE NUMBERS EACH TIME I HAVE CALLED AND HAD THEM RECORDED IN THE CASE RECORD).

Mileage: 22,000

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?

MY 2018 JEEP WRANGLER JL HAS DEVELOPED WHAT APPEARS TO BE A 'DEATH WOBBLE ' AFTER APPROXIMATELY 5000 - 7000 MILES.

THE RADIO IS BEING REPLACED FOR THE SECOND TIME. IT HAS THE START STOP FEATURE AND IT WILL GO COMPLETELY DEAD AND REQUIRE TIME TO RESTART I WAS DRIVING 60 MPH AND IT STARTED SHAKING VIOLENTLY AND IT HAS DONE IN TWICE IN TWO DAYS. IT IS TERRIFYING I HAD TO PULL OFF TO THE SHOULDER.

Mileage: 19,400

DEATH WOBBLE WHEN HITTING BUMPS ON THE HIGHWAY ABOVE 60MPH. I HAD TO PULL OVER AND SLOW DOWN TO 45 MPH FOR IT TO STOP. DEALER REPLACED THE STABILIZER WITH AN AFTERMARKET ONE SINCE THE REPLACEMENT PART IS ON BACKORDER AND THE ISSUE IS STILL PRESENT.A STEERING STABILIZER WILL NOT FIX THE ISSUE, IT ONLY MASKS IT. THE VEHICLE HAS 1200 MILES ON IT AND IS COMPLETELY STOCK. THEIR IS SOMETHING WRONG WITH EITHER THE TRACK BAR JOINTS OR THE STEERING GEOMETRY. FCA WILL NOT ADMIT THE KNOW ITS AN ISSUE.

Mileage: 1,200

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

Mileage: 1,800

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

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.

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

VIOLENT SHAKING-SEEMS LIKE THE FRONT TIRES ARE ALTERNATING ON AND OFF THE ROADWAY AT HIGH SPEED. IT HAPPENS AFTER HITTING A SMALL UNEVEN AREA ON A HIGHWAY WHILE TRAVELING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS (70). HAVE TO APPLY THE BRAKE TO BREAK IT OUT OF THE SHAKING.(DOWN TO ABOUT 45MPH). THIS IS SCARY, I AM A WOMAN WITH CHILDREN. THE DATE BELOW IS JUST THE LAST AND THE WORST TIME IT HAS HAPPENED. IT'S BEEN BACK AT THE DEALERSHIP FOR THIS A FEW WEEKS AGO AND TAKEN BACK TODAY FOR THE SAME ISSUE. I DONT BELIEVE JEEP KNOWS WHAT'S WRONG. THE DEALERSHIP IS TRYING TO FIND THE PROBLEM.

Mileage: 16,300

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Mileage: 6,500

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.

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.

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

'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.

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.

MY 2018 JEEP WRANGLER JL EXPERIENCED THE JEEP "DEATH WOBBLE" ON THE FREEWAY AT SPEEDS ABOVE 60 MPH AFTER RUNNING OVER MINOR PAVEMENT IMPERFECTIONS. THE WOBBLE WAS SO SEVERE EACH TIME I HAD TO PULL OFF THE FREEWAY ONTO THE BERM AND COME TO A COMPLETE STANDSTILL FOR THE WOBBLE TO STOP. THE WOBBLE OCCURRED FOUR TIMES IN THREE DAYS. I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE ON 03/30/2018. THE DEATH WOBBLE MANIFESTED IN EARLY OCTOBER, 2018. I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER FOR INSPECTION WITHIN A WEEK. THE ONLY PROBLEM DISCOVERED WAS THE TIRES WERE ALL OUT OF BALANCE. THE DEALER BALANCED THE TIRES. TODAY IS NOVEMBER 20. SO FAR, THE DEATH WOBBLE HAS NOT REOCCURRED.

Mileage: 11,000

VEHICLE EXHIBITS VAGUE, WANDERING STEERING. IT COULD BE DESCRIBED AS JITTERY UNDER CERTIAN CONDITIONS LIKE BUMPY ROADS WHILE PASSING TRUCKS.

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.

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

WHILE IN MOTION ON THE HIGHWAY, A VIOLENT SHAKING OCCURS ON THE STOCK JEEP WRANGLER UNLIMITED ALL NEW JL 2018 WITH MINIMAL TRANSITION FROM PAVEMENT TO A DIFFERENT PAVEMENT OR BRIDGE TRANSITION. VIOLENT SHAKING IN THE STEERING WHEEL AND WHEELS LASTS FOR 15-20 SECONDS WHILE TRAVELING THE DISTANCE OF A FOOTBALL FIELD OR MORE. VERY HARD TO KEEP CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE AND NOT HAVE A POTENTIAL CATASTROPHIC ACCIDENT. SAME ISSUE AS PRIOR JK MODEL COMPLAINTS OF THE 'DEATH WOBBLE'. THIS HAS OCCURRED 3 TIMES WITH UNDER 5,000 MILES ON THIS BRAND NEW VEHICLE. NO MODIFICATIONS HAVE BEEN DONE TO THE JEEP. TIE ROD IN FRONT CONNECTED TO THE RIGHT PASSENGER SIDE WHEEL HAS A SLIGHT BACK AND FORTH MOVEMENT WHEN MOVED BY HAND WHILE WHEELS ARE ALIGNED STRAIGHT FORWARD IN THE PARKED POSITION. OTHER SIDE DOES NOT HAVE THE SAME GIVE WHEN I TRIED TO SEE IF IT WOULD MOVE. ANOTHER PERSON ON THE JEEP WRANGLER FORUM ONLINE IS EXPERIENCING THE SAME PROBLEM AT ABOUT THE SAME MILEAGE ON THE JL.

IT STARTED WITH THE 'DEATH WOBBLE' DRIVING INTERSTATE SPEED, 65, OVER A BRIDGE AND GO OVERING ONE OF THE BRIDGE SPANS SPACERS.THE "DEATH WOBBLE" IS A VERY DANGEROUS VIBRATION THAT OCCURS IN THE FRONT END OF A VEHICLE. WHEN A VEHICLE EXPERIENCES DEATH WOBBLE, THE ENTIRE STEERING SYSTEM RAPIDLY TURNS BACK AND FORTH, MAKING CONTROLLING THE VEHICLE VERY HARD. THE ONLY WAY TO STOP THE DEATH WOBBLE ONCE IT STARTS IS TO SLOW THE VEHICLE DOWN UNTIL NORMAL STEERING CONTROL IS RESTORED. AT 65 THE WHOLE JEEP SHOCK AND MY WIFE AND I WERE QUITE SCARED. I PUT HAZARDS ON AND SLOWED TO ABOUT 10 MPH AND THE WOBBLE STOPPED. A FEW DAYS FROM THEN WE TOOK THE NEW 2018 JEEP WRANGLER UNLIMITED WITH 3000 MILES INTO THE JEEP DEALER SERVICE DEPARTMENT. THEY WERE ABLE TO REPLICATE THE DEATH WOBBLE. THEN UPON INVESTIGATION THE DISCOVERED 'ABOUT 10 NUTS AND BOLTS THAT WERE FINGER TIGHT'. EXACT WORDS FROM THE DEALER. THEY COMMENTED THEY WERE GOING TO REPORT THIS ISSUE AS WELL. SO BETWEEN THIS AND THE PENDING RECALL OF THE 'TRACKING BAR BRACKET', I AM SCARED OF AL THE WELDS ON THE VEHICLE AS WELL AS ALL THE BOLTS NOW. *DT CONSUMER STATED EVEN THOUGH THE BOLTS WERE TIGHTENED IT STILL WOBBLES.

THERE HAS BEEN A MAJOR RECALL RELATED TO THE TRACK BAR WELDS ON THE JL MODEL WRANGLERS AND WHEN I SEARCH MY VIN IT IS NOT INCLUDED BUT MANY OF THE WELDS ON MY FRAME ARE RUSTING ALREADY AND APPEAR TO BE "BAD" WELDS.

Mileage: 1

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

THE WELDS ON THE REAR SUSPENSION ARE HORRIBLE. THERE ARE LARGE PIECES OF SLAG WHEREVER THERE ARE WELDS. THERE ARE ALREADY PLACES WHERE SOME SLAG HAS FALLEN OFF AND SPOTS HAVE STARTED TO RUST. THE ENTIRE FRAME HAS SLAG ON IT AND HUGE MESSY WELDS. THERE ARE WELDS MISSING ALONG THE FRAME. THE FRAME WAS DENTED AND HIT WITH SOMETHING BEFORE BEING INSTALLED. ALL OF THESE THINGS CAN LEAD TO WEAKENING IN THE METAL OR FAILURE IN THE WELDS.

FRONT TRACK BAR WELDS ARE OF POOR QUALITY, POROUS, LACK OF PENETRATION AND NOT CONTINUOUS AS A WELD SHOULD BE. WELDS APPREAR AS UNSAFE WELDS FOR HOLDING THE TRACK BAR IN PLACE WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE. ALL OTHER WELDS ON VEHICLE HAVE RUST SHOWING ON LEADING EDGES AND ALSO LACK OF PENETRATION ON WELDS THOUGHT OUT THE WELD BEAD. VEHICLE IS GARAGE KEPT WITH 195 TOTAL MILES.
