This Problem Across All Years
Concern: Suspension, steering, and electrical system malfunction Description of the Problem: While driving at highway speeds (approximately 75 mph), the vehicle experiences a wiggling or unstable sensation in the suspension, making the car feel unsafe. At the same time, the steering wheel becomes stiff and difficult to turn. Additionally, a warning message appears stating “Service Shifter.” When this occurs, the electrical system freezes, affecting vehicle functions. This electrical malfunction lasts for 1 to 2 days, during which systems do not respond properly before eventually resetting on their own. Safety Concern: The suspension instability, loss of steering responsiveness, and electrical failure at high speeds present a serious safety risk to the driver and others on the road. Request: Requesting a full inspection of the suspension, steering system, shifter system, and electrical components, including any sensors or modules that may be causing these failures.

The steering wheel started to shake and then escalated to the whole car shaking at which time I had to stop the vehicle on the highway to make it stop shaking. This isn’t the first time this has happened.

My 2019 Jeep Wrangler Sahara with 2.0 liter turbo engine has had two failed “Rear Axle Assemblies or differentials” within 3 years of each other. The first time was in July 2022, and my service repair order says rear Diff replacement. Now this time, my dealer is saying we need the whole rear axle assembly which is on national back order. No current ETA for delivery, with no additional info other than none are even in production at this time. Since my vehicle is under warranty for another 4,000 miles or so, I would like to use Stellantis warranty for my repair. However, They are no help and are saying we cannot order a different OE part, or a used part. The vehicle is unsafe to drive as I can feel my loss of control especially on wet roads in Florida. After searching the internet I have found this is a common problem with the sport, and Sahara versions from 2018-2025. Now that we can’t even get replacement parts, it creates a whole other set of problems. I would like to mention everything is factory on my Jeep and I have never been off roading. Not even once. So 2 failed rear axles is just unacceptable.

When driving over 55 + jeep shakes violently also does the same when going in reverse. Rollover warning ⚠️ light is constantly on warning me not to drive over a certain mph. Diagnostic test came back as faulty suspension.

Our rear axle broke while driving on the highway 600 miles from home with our 2 children. Vehicle was towed to the dealership where it was confirmed. Vehicle has now sat for 3 months because the part is on backorder. It seems as though this is a common issue if they can't keep up with the part needed. There is no warning lights or any way to know this happens until you get stuck. We had the vehicle in the shop not long before getting brakes and an Inspection and there were no issues noted.

Our 2019 Jeep recently experienced the “death rattle” where the steering and suspension shake violently at speeds 65 mph and above. This recently occurred on a 70 mph freeway and nearly caused a sideswipe accident with a large semi as I was thrown from my travel lane. The Jeep owners forum (and Fiat Chrysler America) know about this issue with the steering dampener, but neither the NHTSA nor FCA has seen fit to issue a warning or recall. Our Jeep is never taken off-road and is under 60,000 miles. We are the original owners, and the Jeep is currently with the dealer.

while driving on Interstate Highyway aproximately 65 MPH and passing over a bridge the front end started shaking violently. I hit the brakes and it finally stopped as I slowed. It did this 6 times on the same trip and has repeated multiple times. I took it to the dealer and told them it had done this when I first bought it and they said they would have to evalaute it. When I first bought the car it had 19k miles on it with this death wobble. They said it needed a recall accomplished and it never happened again. Now the car has 71k miles on it and it is happening again. The dealer says they have to order a part. I believe the car is unsafe to drive on an interstate with this condition. Also owners with similar Jeeps have to be aware that this condition which was fixed with a recall can return after so many miles. They will not tell me the component or part number of the component.

The car is having electrical issues that the dealer service is unable to diagnose. They have since ordered a part but they are not certain that this will fix the problem. The car has been in service 3 times. Twice for an uncontrollable shaking that comes from no where, this has fixed the problem temporarily, however it continues. If I hit highway speeds the car shakes making it difficult to drive. The electrical issue for lack of a better word causes the car to stop as there is no acceleration at this point, making it difficult and extremely dangerous to drive. I drive an hour and half to work with fear. I don't want to cause an accident nor do I want anyone else getting hurt. The car has had issues since we first bought it. But thought ok, they are trying to fix the issues so have said nothing until now. Now the electrical system fails causing the care to be undrivable. We had to already have it towed to the dealer. Paid for the diagnostic issue which resulted in nothing and paid for a rental car.

I hit a bump at 65 mph. Then my jeep started to shake from side to side so viciously that I thought it was going to fall apart. I did some research and it’s called a death wobble! For some reason there are no recalls on my specific Vehicle .

Sometime in January of 2019, while living in Florida my Jeep had recall work done to make repairs related to the “death wobble” prevalent in 2018-2020 Jeeps. In 2020, after purchasing the vehicle, I experienced the death wobble. I then took my vehicle in to Orlando Chrysler, and was informed that when the recall repair was done, the part involved was installed backwards. The completed the necessary repair. I had not experienced the situation again until yesterday, when I picked up my Jeep from the Dodge dealership in Greenville, South Carolina, where Another recall was being dealt with. I returned to the dealership and was told in no uncertain terms they did nothing, and because there are no outstanding recalls on the vehicle related to the death wobble, they are under no obligation to do anything about it, including checking to see if the previously recalled parts that were replaced need replacing again. However, as it is occurring again my Jeep is once again unsafe to drive.

While driving at interstate speed and passing over an irregular surface the jeep started to shimmy and I later found out it was called "Death Wobble". The jeep started to wonder across the lanes of the highway and I had to slow to 45 mph to stop the shimmy and get control of the vehicle, I assume the the problem is in the steering or the front suspension. After talking to a mechanic I found out that a recall has already been performed to replace the steering vibration damper. The mechanic could not find any loose or damaged front end parts upon inspection. Since the initial incident the shimmy has happened multiple times at slower and slower speeds. There was no prior warning by the jeep instrument panel.

The front suspension steering damper on my vehicle not effectively damp oscillation of the steering system, resulting in a sustained shake or shimmy in the steering wheel. This can be more noticeable when driving at speeds exceeding 55 Miles Per Hour (MPH) 88 Kilometers Per hour (KPH) after contacting a bumpy road surface and in temperatures below 40° Fahrenheit (5° Celsius).

1st problem was death wobble on highway took to dealer fix, 2nd problem was death wobble on highway tire rods fixed. 3rd problem stealing lock on highway and car wobbling. Towing to dealer. All times car had to be towed. All times going 50 on highway which has been dangerous.

Had damper replaced due to death wobble at 39k miles under extended warranty related to FCA lawsuit. At 59k miles experienced same death wobble and nearly crashed at highway speeds. Took it in and they said the cause was the tie rods were bad, damper was within threshold, but would replace it too as a courtesy and abundance of caution. Wouldn’t do damper replacement without tie rod fix though. Didn’t have damper and would take 5 days to get in (1 day for tie rod part), but when I stated I wanted to repair it they miraculously came up with all the parts and had it finished before tie rod part even showed up. My complaint is that the original FCA lawsuit where they replaced damper was a bandaid for the real problem which is the tie rods. I paid the $2500 but will be pushing this up the chain of command. I know the lawsuit alluded to the damper not being the root of the problem but a cheaper fix for Jeep. The entire experience has been shady at best. Stew Hansen’s in Des Moines, Iowa was the service department.

I bought this 2019 jeep wrangler and it is still under manufacturer warranty on the transmission and the steering damper . The transmission in my car was leaking bad and I took it to the jeep dealership and they did not know what was wrong or how to fix it . They are all incompetent and stupid and unprofessional and know nothing about cars also the recall on the steering damper was done 2 years ago and now I had to replace it because the car was dangerously shaking very bad . The transmission is still under manufacturer warranty and I took it to another shop and he fixed the leak in the transmission and he said it’s it’s the cooler line connector in the transmission so this repair that cost me 478 dollars should be refunded to me from Jeep manufacturer since it’s still under warranty

When driving at speeds of approximately 45+ the front end for no apparent reason begins to violently shake back & forth making the vehicle impossible to control. You must immediately put on the brakes to slow the vehicle until the wobbling stops. This has progressively gotten worse. It’s what is referred to as the Jeep death wobble. It is in the shop now waiting to be looked at.

Driving 60+ miles you hit a bump and the truck starts shaking real bad the whole truck That the only way to make the vehicle stop from shaking is slowing down the speed to 30 mph or complete stop until it goes away the terrible shaking. I already reemplace many suspension parts like the track bar,tie rod and the drag link and still having that issue

The contact owns a 2019 Jeep Wrangler. The contact stated while driving 65 MPH, the vehicle started vibrating and shaking abnormally. The contact stated no warning light was illuminated. The contact took the vehicle to the local dealer, where it was diagnosed with needing the tires to be balanced. The vehicle was repaired but continued to experience the failure. The manufacturer had been informed of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 18,000.
This issue has been going on for over a year now. Vehicle shakes violently when leaving uneven surfaces such as coming off of a bridge on the highway. You have to come to a complete stop to get it to stop shaking. This is very dangerous when on a highway. Vehicle has been inspected by local dealership and parts have been ordered but continue to be on backorder. The dealership states that they have seen other jeeps with this issue. I personally know people who have also experienced this, and not all have the same year as my jeep.

I have a 2019 Jeep wrangler. Within the first 3 months of having my jeep I experienced issues with the battery. I came to a stop at a stop sign, the auto on/of turned the vehicle off but then it wouldn't come back on when I tried to drive. It showed a battery light and the auto on/off sign with an exclamation mark first then all lights on the dashboard started flickering, windshield wipers came on, and then it started beeping. I had to get a tow truck to get my car out the street. When I took it to the dealership they said both batteries needed to be replaced. Since then I have had the same situation happen twice for a total of 3 times in my 1 year of having the car. Each time I have to tow the jeep to the dealership and replace the batteries. They check the fuse but can't figure out the cause. As for the steering, I cannot go over 80 mph without experiencing "death wobble".

I purchased this vehicle used and out of warranty in February of this year 2023. I've had continuous issues with the steering. I have contacted my local dealerships explaining my issues. I've contacted FCA explaining my issues. By both I'm told I need to bring my vehicle in for a diagnostic test that will cost me $250 plus dollars and then ANY REPAIR will cost out of pocket. The vehicle wonders while driving at speeds any speed, but more so at highway speeds, I have almost 2" of slop in my steering wheel, a shimmy in the front and have experienced DEATH WOBBLE numerous times. My family will not ride in my wrangler and I personally feel it is UNSAFE as well. I have already personally replaced ball joints and an aftermarket steering stabilizer in hopes of correcting these issues. I learned that FCA is aware of an issue with the aluminum steering gear of which my wrangler still has. I also learned of a TSB for the steering stabilizer, track bar and software update for the power steering itself. As previously stated ALL MY SYMPTOMS ARE EXACTLY AS THESE TSB'S DESCRIBE, and I had no knowledge of them prior to purchasing and experiencing these issues.
The front axle steering stabilizer shock/damper failed at approximately 36 months after delivery, to the point where the the front end shakes violently when the vehicle goes over a bump at highway speeds and the front tires hit the bump at diffferent times, i.e., diagonal overpass joint. This is a known issue, commonly referred to as "death wobble." Stellantis has settled a class action lawsuit related to this phenomon, Reynolds, et. al. vs FCA US LLC, and extended the vehicle warranty for this issue to 8 years and 90,000 miles. That's all well and good. Here's the problem: There are no parts available. Jeep has sourced a FOX SHOX steering stabilizer but it has been on continual backorder since October 2022. My vehicle was diagnosed in November 2022. I can't get a part at least until the end of summer 2023. An extended warranty doesn't help if I can't get the unsafe condition fixed. There is another FOX SHOX product available that will solve this problem but it is a more expensive part. There are also other suppliers that can provide an acceptable part. Jeep has shown zero urgency to take care of their customers, and FOX SHOX is obviously overwhelmed with the demand. Stellantis and Jeep need to act with more urgency to find sufficient parts to fix the affected vehicles, even if it means sourcing a higher-priced part.

When I was driving on a plane road with no bumps my steering wheel started to shake violently making the whole car and dashboard shake. I’ve called jeep to inform them but they said it is not covered and there is no recall for my vehicle instead want to run a diagnostic and have me pay for the repairs and diagnostic even though it’s a leased vehicle.

Was driving interstate in San Diego, CA about 65 mph and on 4 different occasions when I hit a bump or rough patch of road the front end of the car and steering wheel started shaking violently. It was hard to control the vehicle and I had nowhere I could go because I was in traffic at high speeds. Was finally able to move over to a side lane and slow the vehicle down which caused the shaking to stop. No lights of any kind came on in the vehicle. Very dangerous for this to be happening on CA roads with such heavy traffic. Not only does it put me at risk, but others as I have to slow down to 40-45 mph for the shaking to stop. Will be taking it in to dealership for inspection. As I have researched...this appears to be another case of the "death wobble".

Will be taking it in to dealership for inspection. As I have researched...this appears to be another case of the "death wobble".
I experienced the Jeep Death Wobble on 5 occasions. All five happened at 60 mph or above. The car would suddenly shake violently and felt like it was falling apart. I feared i couldn't steer it, which I had a hard time doing, until i calmed down and started braking. When i got to a slower speed it went back to normal. The front track bar was replaced and an alignment was needed again at 12,000 miles. I first noticed the car going out of alignment before this all happened, then the wobble followed at higher speeds. It was a very scary experience all five times. I read about it and found that the last few times when i hit a small bump it would activate the wobble until i slowed down. This is very upsetting for me as my daughter also drives the car and I feel it is now unsafe since the car is out of alignment once again after 3 months. Jeep needs to address this ASAP. The car has 13,000 miles and is a 2019.

I have experienced the death wobble 4-5 times. The dealer says they have already replaced the steering damper once already. I am concerned there are more issues with the steering system on this Jeep.

Vehicle's front end violently shakes harmonically side to side when driving over 50 mph upon hitting uneven surfaces on highway and interested. When this occurs, the driver loses the ability to safely steer and must brake which is also unsafe to do on the highway or interstate. The harmonic vibration resonates until the speed is reduced to approximately 35 mph.
I have been experiencing the death wobble ever since I bought the Jeep. I’ve brought it back to the dealer 2 times and they just told me to get different tires. I spent 1,500 on new tires and still experience the same thing. When I go over bumps or bridge seams on the freeway, my entire front end wobble out of control almost causing me to crash every time. My kids are terrified to drive in the jeep, and I keep asking for it to be fixed before someone gets hurt. Date of incident would be from Aug 30, 2021 to today Feb 31, 2023. It’s every time I drive on the freeway.

No warning. Driving down the road at 45 or above taking a curve and hitting a bump in the road the jeep starts bouncing and the steering starts jerking. I have been informed that there is a law suit stating that this is because of front suspension steering damper.

At any speed over 55 mph any bump or irregularity on the road causes the front tires to rapidly bounce up and down from the left side wheel to the right side wheel. There's almost zero steering control. Emergency braking to under 20 mph is necessary to stop the vibration and regain steering control. Sometimes a complete stop in the travel lane of a highway is necessary. The vehicle was purchased used with 18K miles. After 5K miles a vibration was felt at the front wheels anytime driving over bridge or overpass. At 30K miles the vibration/bounce occasionally required emergency braking. The closest dealer was booked during the Holidays and it was over 30 days for an appointment. During the appointment was told it was the steering dampener, a "known issue" but, the parts are on backorder, no ETA provided. The vehicle is currently unable to drive over 50 mph over any surface. Found almost 500 related posts online for this model vehicle going back to 1980. Why is there not a recall on this failing part?

Bought a used 2019 Jeep Wrangler with approx 17000 miles. At speeds between 60-75 mph on highway roads that have small bumps and or divots, the front axle begins a divergent shudder and wobble side to side that is uncontrollable. It has happened now 7 times. In traffic I have almost caused accidents because the vehicle is not controllable with the steering wheel. At highway speeds, the only way to make the divergent wobble decrease and go away is to immediately step on the brakes in an emergency mode, hope you don't get rear ended and pull off the road. The vehicle has been inspected in detail by two different organizations. I have had the alignment checked, it's perfect. Shocks are perfect. Everything is fine, accept, when the perfect harmonic is reached on a bump at highway speeds, the front axle goes ballistic and makes the vehicle uncontrollable. This is a safety issue that has/will kill people. There are no warning lamps or caution lights. The vehicle is in perfect condition.

Death wobble where the Jeep shakes so violently that you can lose control. It has done this since new. I take it back to the dealer and they say Jeep is aware of the problem and they are working on a fix. Jeeps fix is a replacement steering damper. When I reported it to the dealer, I was told I had to wait until a fix was released. finally at 2125 miles they replaced the first damper. On the way home it death wobbled again. I had to wait again; at 2285 miles they replaced the track bar. The Jeep didn't handle or feel right but it didn't death wobble until Thanksgiving 2022 250 miles from home. I brought it back in and they replaced the steering damper again at 14668 miles. I was told by the service department there are over 6000 dampers on back order. This needs to be a recall since it affects thousands of Jeep Wranglers. My wife refuses to drive the Jeep.

“Death wobble” is happening on Highway when going over 65mph. Took it to the dealership and said there is nothing wrong with the Jeep. Steering wheel shakes violently causing entire vehicle to rattle. Very scary and hard to control

My Jeep is experiencing the death wobble when driving in the highway. Which causes the jeep to violently shake the right side of the front wheel. I have taken it to two jeep dealerships and was told that it can be due to the suspension or differential. I have not drove this jeep on rough terrain or 4 by 4. The dealership is looking into the suspension system for the death wobble problem. The jeep currently stands at 40,000 miles. I also have a warning lamp that shows to service the axle locker system. According to the dealer, the axle locker system is an electrical issue and not a mechanical one. I wanted to report this problem as it is a safety issue and it is dangerous to drive in this condition.

Death wobble same as my 2008 wrangler that I traded in for a newer model and same problem! Someone will die, it's terrible!!! It happened 3 times in 1 day. I can't take it on the expressway at all.

On 10-23-2022 while driving on I64 in West Virginia I experienced extreme shaking in the steering wheel and bouncing in the front end of my Jeep. I took the vehicle to the Jeep dealer in Beckley, WV and when I explained the problem a member of the service department stated "That is the shimmy shock." I was told there had been an information bulletin put out on this problem and a temporary solution recommended. On September 5, 2019, I took my Jeep into the dealer I bought it from in ref. to recall# V41 and had the steering damper replaced. On October 31, 2022, I took it in to the dealer for repair and the mechanic noted the wrong damper is installed, the right shock is leaking, and they recommended replacing the Michelin tires that have only 39121 miles on them.

Both front shocks broke and needed to be replaced. Needed a 4-wheel alignment because of this. Broke steering damper. Part not able to get fixed as Chrysler won't release the required part until November 15th even though other Jeeps of this year have been recalled due to this issue. I have the repair paperwork. Experienced a "Death Wobble" on Thursday, October 27th. I'm lucky that I didn't panic and was able to get it out of traffic and on the right side of the road. The Jeep and cab shook violently. Issue confirmed by an independent repair shop. Have paperwork to backup claim. No one else besides the independent shop verified the issue. Dealership claimed it couldn't exist because my vehicle style is not part of the original recall for this issue they are aware of. No, there was no prior warning before this occured.

The steering has become very loose, causing the vehicle to feel as though it were drifting with every bump. Entering into a parking lot, or going over speed bumps cause the vehicle to feel as though you are jerking the steering wheel back & forth, with the whole body of the vehicle rocking. Changing lanes requires the upmost care when merging, so as not to cause too much movement, otherwise the entire vehicle rocks back & forth as though you were off-roading on extremely uneven turf. God forbid you attempt to avoid hitting something that jumps in front of you car; that is bound to cause the car to flip! Doesnt matter if you're traveling 5mph or 65 mph, the drifting is obvious & pretty scary.

When driving down the interstate my 2019 jeep hit a small bump in the road. Front end started shaking violently. At first I thought I had blown a tire but tire pressure warning did not show on dashboard. I let off the gas and it ebbed till gone. I was going 70 miles an hour when it started. It was intermittent through out the day and started each day after

Experienced the death wobble. Front tires began to oscillate violently causing loss of steering control on a highway. Went on for ~20 seconds, almost ran off the road and would have crashed. No indications prior to event, smooth highway speed driving right up to extreme violent shaking. Fighting with the wheel to steer to stay on the road was ineffective. The only thing that saved us was it suddenly stopped on its own. Before this event there were several short, less severe instances of wobbling.

Experienced “death wobble” at 60mph. Vehicle has 22k miles and steering components checked out to be good. This is very unsafe and scary. Steering wheel started shaking violently and had to slow way down, almost to complete stop, to regain control. Thank you

While driving on the highway out of the blue my jeep starts to shake and vibrate. It happens without warning a makes it hard to control steering.

When on the highway going over 55 MPH and hitting a bump the steering wheel and entire vehicle begins to move rapidly and violently from side to side. This causes your vehicle to feel like it's losing control. The only way to stop this from continuing is to slow the vehicle down significantly. This presents a significant danger of losing control because of the shaking or being hit from behind on the highway due to slowing down significantly. The dealer has attempted to repair this defect twice within the last 2 months by replacing the steering damper and it is still occurring. No warning messages are illuminated when this occurs.

My Jeep wanders tremendously, at times it’s hard to keep it on the road. And sometimes it will veer to the left or right unexpectedly. I’ve almost hit two incoming cars because of this. This problem needs to be fixed on this model vehicle immediately or someone is going to get hurt or killed. Sometimes if you hit a bump the steering will vibrate tremendously until you come to a stop. There’s no way to control the vehicle when this happens.

The contact owns a 2019 Jeep Wrangler. The contact stated that upon entering the highway at 60 MPH, his vehicle hit a few bumps in the road and the vehicle experienced the "death wobble". The contact stated that he had experienced the failure while between two semi-trucks as he firmly held onto the steering wheel. The contact also stated that he lost control of the vehicle and that his vision had been obstructed due to the violent shaking moving his glasses off his face. As the vehicle began to slow down, the shaking stopped, and the contact pulled over. The contact then carefully drove the vehicle home without incident. The contact had taken the vehicle to a dealer who initially denied that they had never heard of such a failure. The contact left the vehicle in the dealer's possession for a week; the dealer then notified the contact of a service bulletin which was related to the failure. A software update was performed on the vehicle and returned to the contact. Despite the repair, the contact stopped driving the vehicle because of fear that the failure might occur again. The manufacturer was not informed of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 30,000.

purchased vehicle in sept 2019 and had no issues until recently. Hitting bumps on freeway causes extreme shaking which lasts upwards of 6 to 10 seconds. Having this occur on icy roads can result in total loss of stability. I've taken this into the dealership already once, and issue still occurs. From research it looks like this issue has been present in jeeps for decades. Why hasn't the NHTSA forced jeep to notify the public of the issue?

While driving with traffic at highway speeds, bumps in the road surface cause the Front End of my 2019 JEEP WRANGLER to bounce violently and I have to reduce the speed to around 45 MPH to have the suspension return to normal. I have brought the vehicle to Golling Jeep Dealership 3 times. They replaced the Steering Damper in May of 2021which temporarily resolved the issue. I brought the car back in August and September where the dealership reports they could not duplicate the failure. In a recent Detroit Free Press Article, this condition was called an "Alleged Death Wobble". Golling tells me there is nothing wrong. There was no accident, no known damage and there was no warning of any kind. I just watch for bumps and drive slower - not with the speed of traffic on I 696 in Oakland County Michigan. I believe this is Unsafe and I told Golling's Service team the same. What Can I do? [XXX] INFORMATION Redacted PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).

Subsequent to my yearly annual service which included a tire rotation, my 2019 Jeep Wrangler Sport developed the "Jeep Death Wobble". At speeds in excess of 60 mph and with a certain series of road bumps, the Jeep begins to violently wobble until speed is reduced to approximately 58mph.

I own a 2019 Jeep Rubicon and the steering wheel rotates violently (~25° back and forth) while driving at any speed and when I hit a bump on the road. Even a small bump on the road causes this problem. I have researched this and some Jeep websites call it a ‘death wobble’. 25° violent steering wheel rotation at 70 mph is very startling it is an extremely unsafe. It almost caused me to crash on more than 3 occasions. There are no apparent recalls about this issue but this problem is reported on several Jeep websites. Are there any plans to implement any sort of safety warning or a recall about this problem? Thank you and please keep me posted.

Above 65, if I hit a bump, my Jeep gets the "Death Wobble" reported in many other Jeeps. I am scheduled to have the Damper replaced, but many forums state this is only a band-aid and will wear out or won't truly fix the problem.

WHEN DRIVING 70 MILES AN HOUR AND HIT A BRIDGE SEAM WHICH INTERSECT THE HIGHWAY AT 45 DEGREE ANGLE THE CAR GOES INTO A VIOLENT DEATH WOBBLE. WE HAVE HAD 2 JEEP SERVICE DEPARTMENTS LOOK AT THE ISSUE STATING NOTHING IS WRONG WITH THE CAR. WE ARE STILL EXPERIENCING THIS DEATH WOBBLE

MY 2019 RUBICON FROM DAY 1 HAS HAD A DANGEROUS WANDERING ISSUE. IT IS VERY DIFFICULT TO KEEP THE VEHICLE ON A STRAIGHT TRACK AND SOMETIMES TO EVEN STAY IN YOUR LANE. IT IS ESPECIALLY DANGEROUS ON THE HIGHWAY IN WINDY CONDITIONS. WRANGLER STYLE JEEPS ARE KNOWN FOR CATCHING THE WIND HOWEVER, WITH THE WANDERING PROBLEM IN THE STEERING YOU TEND TO OVERSTEER TO COMPENSATE MAKING THE VEHICLE VERY DIFFICULT TO CONTROL. I COMPLAINED ABOUT THIS THE FIRST DAY I BOUGHT IT NEW AND WAS TOLD THAT THIS IS HOW JEEPS ARE. I KNOW HOW ALL VEHICLES ARE AND WHERE THEY CROSS THE LINE WITH A SAFETY ISSUE. IF YOU GO ON LINE AND PUNCH IN JEEP WANDERING ISSUES THERE ARE LITERALLY THOUSANDS OF POST ABOUT THIS PROBLEM AND IT APPEARS THAT JEEP JUST IGNORES THIS SAFETY ISSUE. I WOULDN'T BE TAKING THE TIME TO WRITE THIS IF IT WERE JUST AN INCONVENIENCE. THIS IS A SERIOUS AND DANGEROUS PROBLEM. MY WIFE HAS A 2019 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE AND IT RIDES LIKE A LUXURY CAR. SHE WON;T EVEN DRIVE MY RUBICON BECAUSE SHE IS SO SCARED OF HOW IT WANDERS. THE STEERING WHEEL HAS TO BE CONSTANTLY COMPENSATED BACK AND FORTH TO KEEP IT IN LINE. SO MUCH SO THAT I WORRY SOME TIMES THAT IF THERE WERE A COP IN BACK OF ME THAT HE WOULD THINK I WAS IMPAIRED THE WAY THE VEHICLE IS ALWAYS BACK AND FORTH. I BOUGHT MY 4 DOOR 2019 RUBICON BRAND NEW AND IT ONLY HAS 21,000 MILES ON IT NOW. NO ONE SHOULD HAVE TO BE AFRAID TO DRIVE A BRAND NEW VEHICLE WITH A SAFETY ISSUE LIKE THIS AND JEEP SHOULD HAVE FIXED THIS OBVIOUS ISSUE AND NOT BE IGNORING IT. LETS NOT WAIT TILL SOMEONE GETS KILLED BECAUSE OF THIS ISSUE. FROM THE RESEARCH I HAVE DONE AND HUNDREDS OF POST I HAVE READ IT APPEARS THIS PROBLEM IS LIMITED TO WRANGLER MODEL JEEPS. PLEASE HELP!!

LETS NOT WAIT TILL SOMEONE GETS KILLED BECAUSE OF THIS ISSUE. FROM THE RESEARCH I HAVE DONE AND HUNDREDS OF POST I HAVE READ IT APPEARS THIS PROBLEM IS LIMITED TO WRANGLER MODEL JEEPS. PLEASE HELP!!
STEERING HAS EXTREMELY TOO MUCH PLAY. THE VEHICLE VEERS EVERYWHERE AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. STEERING WHEEL SHAKES VIOLENTLY IF YOU HIT A BUMP AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. EXTREMELY DANGEROUS.

STEERING IS VERY UNSTABLE AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. IT WILL DRIFT LEFT TO RIGHT EVEN THOUGH THE STEERING WHEEL IS STRAIGHT. WHEN HITTING A BUMP ON THE ROAD THE CAR WOBBLES OUT OF CONTROL. IT DOES THIS AT LOW SPEEDS OR HIGH SPEEDS.

DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY BETWEEN 65/70 MPH ON A STRAIGHT AWAY. I HIT A BUMP/POTHOLE IN THE ROAD. MY JEEP BEGAN TO WOBBLE, RATTLE AND SHAKE CAUSING THE STEERING WHEEL TO STUTTER IN MY HANDS. I THOUGHT I WAS GOING TO CRASH! I LET OFF THE GAS AND SLOWLY APPLIED THE BRAKES WHILE MAKING MY WAY TO THE SHOULDER AWAY FROM TRAFFIC. I HAD TO COM TO A COMPLETE STOP FOR IT TO STOP SHAKING. IT HAPPENED AGAIN ON MY WAY HOME, EXCEPT THIS TIME THE ONLY DIFFERENCE BEING I WAS GOING 55/60 MPH.
TRAVELING I81 N AT 62 MPH AT APROX 1129 JUST BEFORE THE I80 EXIT AT THE BRIDGE. IT IS A SLIGHT CURVE IN THE ROAD. WE HIT A BUMP AND MY JEEP WENT NUTS AGAIN. IT WOBBLE, STUTTERED, AND SHOOK. SIMILAR TO WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU HAVE A TIRE BLOWOUT. THE STEERING WHEEL SHOOK CAUSING LOSS OF CONTROL. LET OFF THE GAS AND SLOWLY APPLIED THE BRAKE. AT 50 MPH REGAINED CONTROL AND CONTINUED ON OUR WAY. MY CELLPHONE WAS NOT SHOOK OUT OF ITS HOLDER LIKE LAST TIME. SO I GUESS THAT'S A PLUS.

WHEN ON THE HIGHWAY, IT STARTING SHAKING VIGOROUSLY. I HAD TO SLOW DOWN TO STOP IT FROM SHAKING. I WENT FROM ABOUT 70 MPH TO ABOUT 35 MPH IN ORDER TO STOP IT FROM SHAKING. I TRIED LOOKING UP WHAT IT COULD BE AND FOUND THAT IT'S BEEN CALLED THE "DEATH WOBBLE." I'VE ALSO CHECKED IT FOR RECALLS AND NOTHING CAME UP AT THIS TIME. I TRIED CALLING FCA, HOWEVER AFTER BEING ON HOLD FOR MORE THAN 2 HOURS, I HANGED UP. I HOPE YOU GUYS CAN HELP WITH ANSWERS ON THIS AS IT SEEMS THAT I'M NOT THE FIRST ONE TO EXPERIENCE THIS. THANK YOU.

WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AT APPROXIMATELY 70 MPH, THE JEEP BEGAN TO SHAKE (WABBLE) VIOLENTLY. THE STEERING COLUMN BECAME HARD TO CONTROL DUE TO THE SHAKING OF THE JEEP. SLOWING DOWN DID NOT SEEM TO HELP SO I PULLED OFF THE FREEWAY AND CAME TO A COMPLETE STOP. THIS ALLEVIATED THE ISSUE TEMPORARILY. HOWEVER, THE SHAKING/WABBLE OCCURRED 6 MORE TIMES DURING MY 200-MILE TRIP. I TOOK MY JEEP INTO THE DEALER TO GET FIXED AND WAITED 3 WEEKS FOR THE PART TO COME IN. DURING THIS TIME, THE WABBLE HAPPENED TWICE AT FREEWAY SPEEDS (65 MPH+). BOTH TIMES, I HAD TO PULL OFF THE FREEWAY AND COME TO A COMPLETE STOP TO REMEDY THE ISSUE. MY SERVICING DEALER REPLACED THE STEERING DAMPENER AS THEY SAID THAT WAS THE ISSUE. UNFORTUNATELY, AT FREEWAY SPEED, I ENCOUNTERED THE SHAKING/WABBLE AGAIN. SPEEDS OF 50 MPH OR LESS DO NOT SEEM TO TRIGGER THE SHAKING, BUT IT OCCURS INTERMITTENTLY AT SPEEDS OVER 50 MPH. AS LONG AS I AM IN THE SLOW LANE WITH ROOM TO EXIT THE ROAD, IT IS SAFE TO DRIVE. HOWEVER, IT IS A HUGE SAFETY ISSUE IF THERE IS NO WAY TO EXIT THE ROADWAY WHEN IT OCCURS AS THE ONLY WAY TO STOP THE SHAKING IS TO COME TO A COMPLETE STOP.

MANY TIMES, MY JEEP IS DOING UNSAFE WOBBLE LIKE THE WHEELS ARE GOING TO COME OFF. GOING AT SPEEDS OF 55-65 . VERY HARD TO HANDLE AND KEEP ON ROAD. TOOK TO DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID THERE WERE NO RECALLS. COULDN'T FIND ANYTHING WRONG. I HAVE A HANDICAPPED DAUGHTER AND THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY ISSUE. IT WOULD HAPPEN ALSO WHEN GOING OVER RAILROAD TRACKS OR SIMPLY DOWN THE HIGHWAY.

WHILE DRIVING MY 2019 JEEP WRANGLER JL ON A HIGHWAY, AT ABOUT 75 MILES PER HOUR, THE FRONT END OF THE VEHICLE STARTED VIGOROUSLY SHAKING FROM SIDE TO SIDE. IT FELT AS THOUGH THE FRONT TIRES WERE GOING TO FALL OFF. I HAD TO REDUCE TO A SPEED OF LOWER THAN 50 MILES PER HOUR (WHICH IS UNSAFE ON A HIGHWAY THAT RUNS 70 MILES PER HOUR) IN ORDER FOR THE SHAKING TO CALM DOWN. I TOOK THE VEHICLE IN TO JEEP THAT SAME DAY AND REPORTED THE ISSUE. AFTER 2 DAYS, THEY INFORMED ME THEY COULD NOT RE-CREATE THE ISSUE AND THEREFOR DID NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG. THEY MADE NO REPAIRS. FAST FORWARD TO ABOUT 9 MONTH LATER AND IT HAS HAPPENED AGAIN. I WAS DRIVING ON THE SAME HIGHWAY TODAY. AT ABOUT THE SAME SPEEDS, AND EXPERIENCED THE VIGOROUS SHAKING OF MY STEERING WHEEL AND FRONT PORTION OF THE VEHICLE.

ONCE I HIT A SPEED OF 70MPH ON THE HIGHWAY AND IF I HIT THE SLIGHTEST BUMP, MY ENTIRE JEEP STARTS TO SHAKE VIOLENTLY. IF I KEEP MY FOOT ON THE GAS AT MY STEADY SPEED, IT JUST GETS WORSE. THE ONLY THING I CAN DO IS TAKE MY FOOT OFF THE GAS, HOLD ON FOR DEAR LIFE, AND HOPE I DON'T CRASH BC AT THAT POINT I HAVE NO CONTROL. I CANNOT MERGE INTO OTHER LANES TO TRY TO MAKE IT OFF THE HIGHWAY FOR SAFETY AND I CAN'T DO ANYTHING ACCEPT WAIT FOR THE VIOLENT SHAKING TO STOP. ALSO TO HOPE ALL VEHICLES SURROUNDING ME THAT ARE GOING HIGH SPEEDS ARE PAYING ATTENTION SINCE MY SPEED DRASTICALLY CHANGES AND THEY DON'T CRASH INTO ME. I HAVE TWO TODDLERS AND THEY SCREAM AND THEIR HEADS ARE JOLTED FROM SIDE TO SIDE IN THEIR CAR SEATS AS I WAIT FOR IT TO STOP. THIS HAPPENS ALMOST, IF NOT ALL, ANY TIME I GO ABOVE 70 MILES AN HOUR AND THERE IS A BUMP IN THE ROAD. IT HAS NOT BEEN ONE TIME ONLY. I NO LONGER CAN DRIVE MY BRAND NEW JEEP WRANGLER ON THE HIGHWAY AND I DO NOT TAKE MY TODDLERS IN THE CAR ON THE HIGHWAY ANYMORE. I AM A SINGLE MOTHER AND I COMMITTED TO THE LARGE MONTHLY AUTO LOAN PAYMENTS TO ENSURE MY KIDS WOULD BE SAFE WHILE DRIVING AND I WOULD HAVE A DEPENDABLE VEHICLE. I HAVE NEITHER BUT I STILL HAVE THE LARGE MONTHLY PAYMENT.

AT SPEEDS OF 45-55 ANY BUMP OR EXPANSION JOINT ON HIGHWAY CAUSES SHAKING IN STEERING WHEEL FOR A SUSTAINED PERIOD OF TIME. IT LASTS WELL BEYOND THE IMPACT AND IF I MAINTAIN SPEEDS THE SHAKING IN THE WHEEL AND FRONT END CONTINUES. I HAVE TO ACTUALLY SLOW DOWN ON THE HIGHWAY FOR THE SHAKING TO GO AWAY. I DO NO'T FEEL SAFE TRAVELING WITH THIS VEHICLE ON THE HIGHWAY AND HAVE A PIT IN MY STOMACH THINKING ABOUT OTHERS WHO MAY HAVE THIS ISSUE. I WISH I HAD KNOWN ABOUT THESE ISSUES BEFORE I BOUGHT THE 2019 JEEP WRANGLER UNLIMITED SAHARA. MY JEEP ONLY HAS 1,300 MILES ON IT.

ON SEPTEMBER 24, 2019, I RENTED A 2019 JEEP WRANGLER IN LAS VEGAS, NEVADA. OVER THE COURSE OF 8 DAYS THIS VEHICLE HAD THREE INCIDENTS OF EXTREME STEERING SYSTEM VIBRATION, AKA, DEATH WOBBLE. THESE INCIDENTS OCCURRED ON PAVED HIGHWAYS WHILE TRAVELING AT 45MPH, 60 MPH AND 65 MPH. DURING THESE EPISODES OF DEATH WOBBLE, THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO SHAKE VIOLENTLY, SIMILAR TO EXPERIENCING A TIRE BLOWOUT AND WAS DIFFICULT TO KEEP UNDER CONTROL. APPLYING THE BRAKES SLOWLY TOOK THE VEHICLE OUT OF THE WOBBLE ONCE THE SPEED WAS REDUCED TO ABOUT 10 MPH. FORTUNATELY NO INJURIES OR DAMAGE OCCURRED AS A RESULT OF THESE INCIDENTS, HOWEVER THESE WERE EXTREMELY VIOLENT EPISODES AND COULD LEAD TO TRAGIC CONSEQUENCES IF THE NECESSARY REPAIRS ARE NOT ADDRESSED.
ON SEPTEMBER 24, 2019, I RENTED A 2019 JEEP WRANGLER IN LAS VEGAS, NEVADA. OVER THE COURSE OF 8 DAYS THIS VEHICLE HAD THREE INCIDENTS OF EXTREME STEERING SYSTEM VIBRATION, AKA, DEATH WOBBLE. THESE INCIDENTS OCCURRED ON PAVED HIGHWAYS WHILE TRAVELING AT 45MPH, 60 MPH AND 65 MPH. DURING THESE EPISODES OF DEATH WOBBLE, THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO SHAKE VIOLENTLY, SIMILAR TO EXPERIENCING A TIRE BLOWOUT AND WAS DIFFICULT TO KEEP UNDER CONTROL. APPLYING THE BRAKES SLOWLY TOOK THE VEHICLE OUT OF THE WOBBLE ONCE THE SPEED WAS REDUCED TO ABOUT 10 MPH. FORTUNATELY NO INJURIES OR DAMAGE OCCURRED AS A RESULT OF THESE INCIDENTS, HOWEVER THESE WERE EXTREMELY VIOLENT EPISODES AND COULD LEAD TO TRAGIC CONSEQUENCES IF THE NECESSARY REPAIRS ARE NOT ADDRESSED.
THIS ENTERPRISE RENT A CAR OWNED JEEP HAS UNDER 14,000 MILES ON THE ODOMETER. AT HIGHWAY SPEED ABOVE ABOUT 70 MPH, A SMALL BUMP OR TRIGGER SUCH AS AN OVERPASS EXPANSION JOINT, INITIATES VIOLENT SHAKING AND BOUNCING OF THE FRONT END. THE SHAKING DOES NOT DISSIPATE UNTIL THE VEHICLE IS SLOWED TO ABOUT 30 MPH. THIS PROBLEM IS EASILY REPEATABLE. HIGHWAY SPEED + LITTLE TRIGGER YIELDS VIOLENT SHAKING. THE SHAKING IS SO STRONG THAT 2 HANDS ON THE WHEEL ARE NEEDED TO KEEP THE VEHICLE FROM CAREENING OUT OF CONTROL.

STEERING IS WEIRD IT RANDOMLY JERKS TO THE RIGHT AND LEFT, I HAVE TAKEN IT IN MULTIPLE TIMES AND THEY CAN'T SEEM ANYTHING WRONG WITH IT BUT IT CAN'T BE SAFE THAT MY JEEP JERKS AND VEERS WHILE DRIVING

AS I DROVE OFF THE LOT I NOTICED THE INSTRUMENT PANEL HAD A DISTORTION ON IT. DEALERSHIP WAS UNABLE TO FIX (AFTER A SOFTWARE UPGRADE). MORE CONCERNING IS THE CAR SHAKES VIOLENTLY WHEN HITTING A BUMP IN THE ROAD. I TOOK IT IN 3 TIMES WITHOUT RESOLUTION. ALWAYS ON THE HIGHWAY, AT FIRST AT HIGH SPEEDS, NOW EVEN GOING BELOW THE SPEED LIMIT. SOMETIMES IT RESOLVES ON IT'S OWN, BUT LATELY I HAVE TO SLOW DOWN OR STOP TO MAKE THE SHAKING STOP. (WHICH IS VERY DANGEROUS WHEN DRIVING ON A 65MPH HIGHWAY), THE STEERING WHEEL SHAKES LEFT TO RIGHT AND IS VERY LOOSE DURING THESE TIMES. I FEEL VERY UNSAFE AND IT FEELS LIKE THE WHEELS ARE GOING TO FALL OFF. THIS IS A BRAND NEW VEHICLE. IT HAPPENED 5 TIMES ON A 15 MILE TRIP TO WORK THIS MORNING AND HAS BEEN HAPPENING SINCE I BOUGHT THE CAR IN LATE FEBRUARY 2019.

I WAS GOING AROUND 65 MPH ON THE FREEWAY AND I HIT A POTHOLE, MY JEEP STARTED TO "DEATH WOBBLE". IT STATED TO VIOLENTLY SHAKE AND VIBRATE ALMOST PULLING THE STEERING WHEEL OUT OF MY HAND. I SLOWED DOWN TO UNDER 45 MPH AND IT STOPPED. THE VIOLENT SHAKING LASTED FOR ABOUT 6-10 SECONDS. I JUST PURCHASED THE JEEP 2 DAYS AGO. IT IS COMPLETELY STOCK WITH THE FACTORY TIRES AND THE PRESSURE IN THEM WAS FINE. IT WAS ALSO NOT COLD, THE HIGH AT THE TIME WAS 97 DEGREES.

I JUST EXPERIENCED THE DEATH WOBBLE ON A HIGHWAY IN COLUMBUS OHIO. I WAS DRIVING AROUND 65 AND HIT A SMALL BUMP AND THE CAR STARTED SHAKING VIOLENTLY. IT DID NOT STOP AFTER ABOUT 60 SECONDS SO I PULLED OVER TO THE BERM. IT SCARED ME TO DEATH. I FELT LIKE I HAD NO CONTROL. I STARTED BACK UP AND MADE IT SAFELY TO MY DESTINATION. I PLAN TO CALL LOCAL DEALER SINCE I AM AWAY FROM WHERE I PURCHASED IT ORIGINALLY.

STEERING ISSUES CAUSED BY WEAK STEERING COMPONENTS AND POOR SUSPENSION GEOMETRY. DEATH WOBBLE AND JUMPY, LOOSE, WANDERING STEERING FROM FACTORY. BROUGHT INTO DEALER MAY FOR UPDATED OEM TRACKBAR WITH STIFFER BUSHING UPDATE AND UPDATED STEERING STABILIZER. THIS HAS TIGHTENED STEERING SOMEWHAT AND REDUCED THE AMPLITUDE OF DEATH WOBBLE BUT HAS NOT ELIMINATED IT. JEEP STILL WANDERS AND JUMPS ONTO ADJACENT LANES WHEN HITTING EXPANSION JOINT ON FREEWAY. DEALER SERVICE MANAGER REFUSES TO CONSIDER ALTERNATIVE FIXES THAT HAVE BEEN SHOWN TO HAVE POSITIVE RESULTS FOR OTHERS. WIND NOISE FROM A PILLAR AND FREEDOM TOP. DEALER NOTED BUT FAILED TO FIX INADEQUATE DEFROSTER CHANNELING RESULTS IN THE DEFROSTER ONLY CLEARING THE CENTER OF WINDSHIELD. DRIVER CANNOT SEE OUT OF WI SHIELD. DESIGN FLAW SINCE THIS IS ON ALL 2018 AND 2019 JL. DEALER REFUSES TO FIX FRAGILE WINDSHIELD GLASS. SERVICE MANAGER AGER REFUSES TO CONSIDER THIS AN ISSUE EVE. THOUGH 1000S HAVE LOST THEIR WINDSHIELD AND HAVE BROKEN NUMEROUS ONES IN SHORT ABOUT TS OF TIME TOO SHORT LOWER CONTROL ARMCOUNTRY OL ARMS IN NOT ENOUGH CASTER AND LACK OF A CASTER ADJUSTMENT RESULTS IN POOR STEERING. ALL ABOVE ITEMS OCCUR WHEN JEEP IS IN MOTION AND REPRESENTS TS A HAZARD ON THE ROAD. *DT

WANDERING LOOSE DEAD STEERING, BRAND NEW VEHICLE WITH ONLY 176 MILES. THE VEHICLE WANDERS AS YOU DRIVE DOWN THE ROAD, TRYING TO STAY IN A STRAIGHT LINE REQUIRES MUCH VIGILANCE AND ATTENTION, IF YOU LOOK DOWN TO ADJUST YOUR TEMPERATURE OR ADJUST THE RADIO, THE VEHICLE WILL VEER TOWARDS ANOTHER LANE OF TRAFFIC EVEN THOUGH YOU'VE MADE NO STEERING INPUT CHANGES, THEN YOU NEED TO MOVE THE STEERING WHEEL 1.5 TO 2 INCHES TO START TO GET STEERING INPUT TO CORRECT THE VEHICLE FROM THE OTHER LANE AND BACK INTO YOURS. IT SHOULD BE MORE RESPONSIVE. THE VEHICLE REQUIRES EXCESSIVE STEERING AND VEERS ON IT OWN. ALSO WHEN DRIVING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS AND YOU ENCOUNTER A BUMP OR POTHOLE, THE VEHICLES FRONT END WILL SHAKE WOBBLE AS IF YOU'VE LOST CONTROL FOR ONE TO TWO SECONDS, I WOULD HATE TO ENCOUNTER THIS GOING AROUND A TURN AT A FREEWAY SPEED. THIS BRAND NEW VEHICLE IN THE YEAR 2019 SHOULD NOT OPERATE THIS WAY, IT IS UNSAFE FOR THOSE INSIDE THE VEHICLE AND POSSIBLE OTHERS WHEN IT VEERS ON ITS OWN.

AFTER ABOUT 2700 MILES ON THE ODOMETER OUR STOCK JEEP WRANGLER UNLIMITED RUBICON WITH NO AFTERMARKET PARTS STARTED TO HAVE VERY POOR STEERING, AND WAS HARD TO KEEP IN OUR LANE. IT ALSO STARTED TO HAVE THE STEERING WHEEL SHAKE BACK AND FORTH FAST WHEN HITTING AN EXPANSION JOIN IN THE ROAD OR A BRIDGE. THE JEEP IS NOW DIFFICULT TO KEEP IN OUR LANE, AND IS VERY DIFFICULT TO DRIVE ON NARROW, WINDY OR ROADS WITH CONSTRUCTION. WE WERE ALMOST IN MULTIPLE ACCIDENTS ONCE THIS STARTED ON A ROAD TRIP. THIS ISSUE GETS WORSE AND WORSE WITH SPEED. YOU CAN GRAB THE TIE RODS ENDS AND TRACK BAR AND OTHER STEERING COMPONENTS AND THEY ALL NOW HAVE LIKE 1/8 IN OF PLAY AT EACH END. YOU CAN EASILY SHAKE THEM UP AND DOWN / BACK AND FORTH. THIS WAS NOT AN ISSUE FOR THE FIRST 2500 OR SO MILES. THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION AS AT TIMES YOU HAVE TO SLOW DOWN VERY FAST DUE TO THE STEERING WHEEL SHAKING. ALSO, IT VEERS FROM SIDE TO SIDE DUE TO THE LOOSE STEERING WHERE YOU CAN MOVE THE STEERING WHEEL OVER 1 1/2 INCHES WITHOUT THE TIRES MOVING AT ALL. I HAVE VIDEOS OF ALL THESE ISSUES OCCURRING, AND YOU CAN ALSO SEE THE STEERING COMPONENTS MOVING WHEN THE STEERING WHEEL IS TURNED BEFORE THE PLAY IS OUT AND THE WHEELS MOVE. WE ARE NOW SCARED TO DRIVE OUR VEHICLE DUE TO OUR SAFETY AND THE SAFETY OF OTHERS ON THE ROAD.

IN DECEMBER, ON TWO DIFFERENT OCCASIONS, I EXPERIENCED WHAT I HAVE COME TO FIND OUT IS KNOWN AS THE 'DEATH WOBBLE' IN MY NEW WRANGLER JL. AFTER GOING OVER A SERIES OF SMALL BUMPS ON A HIGHWAY AT 65-70MPH, MY JEEP WENT INTO A VIOLENT SHAKING EPISODE. I ACTUALLY THOUGHT ONE OF THE WHEELS WAS COMING OFF. THE DEALERSHIP SAID THAT THIS COULD BE REPAIRED BY REPLACING THE STABILIZER BAR WITH A HEAVIER DUTY ONE. THEY DID THE REPAIR. ON FRIDAY OF LAST WEEK, I HAD 6 EPISODES OF THE DEATH WOBBLE IN ONE DAY. THE DEALER IS TAKING MY JEEP BACK IN TOMORROW TO LOOK AT IT AGAIN. THIS MIGHT BE THE SCARIEST THING I HAVE EXPERIENCED IN MY 30+ YEARS OF DRIVING.

VEHICLE HAS BEEN AT DEALER SINCE OCTOBER WITH WHAT I HAVE FOUND BY RESEARCH TO BE CALLED A "DEATH WOBBLE" THE VEHICLE SHAKES UNCONTROLLABLE AROUND CORNER AND OVER BUMPS AND CANNOT BE DRIVEN. I HAVE CONTACTED JEEP CUSTOMER SERVICE SEVERAL TIMES PER WEEK SINCE THIS HAS STARTED WITH ZERO RESOLUTION. I ATTACHED SERVICE RECORDS OF WHAT THEY HAVE TRIED TO FIX AND HASNT WORKED. I NEED HELP.
