It went into severe vibration and vibration of steering. It was uncontrollable. It happened in my first highway trip since I purchased the vehicle. The vehicle had to be towed 100 miles. Cost of this was $5697.97. After I paid $30,000+. to Autonation in Spring Texas. Car was released to me with no inspection sticker. Electrical issues were looked at by the dealership and said there is nothing wrong. Can not see at night and turning signals work on and off. Defective roof seals that are leaking into the seatbelt tensioners. When I pull seatbelts to buckle they are wet. The tensioners are sitting in water when it rains.

Electronic sway bar failed to reconnect after taking out of four wheel drive. Push button in cab to engage /disengage does nothing. The indicator light in the instrument panel just flashes but there is nothing in the owner-€™s manual that says what the flashing light means. The vehicle is available for inspection this week but I have to fix it this weekend because it is my daily driver. It has not been inspected by anyone at this time. When I went around the first corner I realized the sway bar was NOT connected and almost lost control of the vehicle. Since I was in the mountains I had no cell phone service and I was by myself so I had no choice but drive the vehicle in this unsafe condition. Upon research online I have found that this is a known problem and there is nothing to tell you if the sway bar is connected or not. Just a flashing -€œsway bar-€ indicator light. I have not taken it to a dealership because I don-€™t trust my local dealership. I have had it take an unusually long time (approx) 10 miles to reengage the last few outings. And the only way I know it reengaged is the flashing light went out but now I have no idea if it-€™s engaged because the light just flashes

While driving on the Interstate in the city at approximately 60-65 MPH, the Jeep Wrangler steering wheel and vehicle started to shake excessively. I initially thought I had a tire blowout. I quickly slowed down and pulled over. Inspecting the vehicle I did not notice any tire issues and could not figure out why the vehicle vehemently shook. We were very scared when this happened and thought we were going to crash into another vehicle/barrier and/or vehicle was going to flip. I typically don't dive the Jeep Wrangler on the Interstate and we were extremely concerned for our safety in the vehicle after this experience. I scheduled an appointment with the dealership to inspect the vehicle. During their inspection, they quickly identified it as steering dampener and was told this is a known issue with Jeep Wranglers, but Jeep does not cover the repair. I contacted Jeep Customer Service to place a customer complaint and was also told they know many instances of this "Death Wobble" but no recall has been issued yet. There were no warning lamps, messages, or other symptoms of the problem prior to this incident.

After hitting a bump in the road my Jeep shook violently. I stopped the Jeep to see if something broke. When I started driving again everything was fine. I had it checked out at Jeep but nothing was found. After months of everything being fine I noticed a shake in the steering wheel. Tires were checked and fine. No one could explain why there was vibration at speeds around 55 mph. This happened a few times and they could not duplicate. A year later I hit a small bump in a construction area on the highway, the same violent shaking happened. I was in a construction zone next to a diesel truck with concert barrier on both sides.I had a hard time keeping control of my Jeep. The death wobble is a very dangerous problem. It has been said that Jeep has come up with a band-aid fix. Well after taking my Jeep to the service department with only 40,000 miles on my Jeep(my Jeep now out of warranty, I had an extended warranty) and it cost me over $3,055.45 for them to fix the death wobble. I do have an invoice for the charges it is not on me at this time.

Have been experiencing death wobble while driving since buying my 2015 Jeep Wrangler. Brought it to Jeep and they said they never heard of death wobble, but would check it out. Of course, they found nothing wrong. Brought it to a local garage that ended up replacing the steering damper. Now I see there is a recall for 2018 and 19 models. Can I get a refund from Jeep?

I have a 2015 Jeep rubicon purchased new from dealer with oem parts including factory tires. It was always a harder drive but after hitting 14000 miles the tires started thumping around 40 miles an hour and continued to get worse, along with wobbling, shaking and slipping over bumps. I was told the tires needed to be rotated every 5000 miles. I had them rotated but it did not resolve the problem. I took it in again as well as to a local mechanic. The mechanic said it was the tires but there was also some issues with the bearings. All this at 14000 miles. This is unacceptable for a vehicle less than a year old and a price tag of 42,000 dollars. Even though the tires had a lifetime warranty the uneven tread and wear was not covered. I ended up having a to buy a new tire and take the spare so that the front tires with the most uneven tread were replaced, at my expense. After I was told if I keep the tires rotated everytime I get an oil change I would be fine. This was not the case. Every time I went over a bumpy area on the freeway I would lose traction and wobble. The issue has been constant and the shaking and wobbling has gotten so bad I cant drive my Jeep without it turning milk into cream. I took it in for maintenance at the Jeep dealership, had the tires rotated and it was worse than before. I took it back, explained in detail and was told lots of customers have expressed the same issue but that the Jeep rubicon is not meant for freeway driving the tires are for mud, that I should get new tires and just deal with it, or sell it. Is that an acceptable way to stand behind a product" or an acceptable way to treat your customer" the vehicle has a defect. Tires that come with a 50,000 mile warranty should last longer than 14000. Shaking, wobbling, and vibrating and uneven tire tread in a vehicle is not normal. The vehicle is a lemon and a buyback should be in effect.

I have been experiencing the "death wobble" the first time when it was only a year old with 10,000 miles. It was brief and I attributed the issue to road conditions. It happened again around 20,00 miles. It was brief and again on the same freeway attributed to road conditions. I recently experienced it again at 39,000 miles - it was so severe, and violent, shaking the entire vehicle- it was extremely difficult to control the vehicle. I made an appointment at the dealership. The diagnosis was a cracked drag link assembly, need front stabilizer shocks, and rear shocks. On top of that they said there is a crack in the radiator, believed to be from the violent shaking. It's no longer under warranty, with only 39,000 miles - 3,000 miles over and they won't do anything. I have been a long time customer at planet Jeep in flagstaff, AZ. This has been a horrible experience. I will never go back there and won't recommend.

I bought my Jeep used with approx. 22,000 miles on it on January 1,2017. I had began smelling burning from under the Jeep. With a oil change the man stated that it was leaking from the front and rear axil assembly. I called the dealer and explained the problem and made a appointment. I had approx. 35000 miles on the Jeep. I was told after picking up my Jeep by the dealership that the leaks were fixed. In about a 2 weeks I could still smell burning. I thought it may be residual from being fixed. The check engine light came on and I called to make appointment. I had checked the tire pressure and the tires for any issues. I told service that the Jeep became rougher to drive and harder to steer, 2 weeks after that I was driving on the interstate, hit a bump and the steering wheel began to pound & shake uncontrollably. It felt like the front tires were shaking back and forth fast. I almost lost control of the Jeep. I pulled over ( 4 lanes of traffic) to the side to assess the issue. The tires were intact with no visible issues. When I started back up the wheels were no longer doing the wobbling. I did read and found "the "death wobble" is a creative term coined by Jeep owners that describes a situation when the front axle begins violently oscillating, causing the car to shake (or wobble) in a manner which makes the vehicle hard to control". I drove to the dealership and explained the issue and told the service department worker it was unsafe to drive and it needed fixed. I do have extended warranty. I was told that they could not fix it and it would take 2 to 3 weeks before I could get a appointment. I was very upset knowing it was not safe but had no choice to make the earliest appointment 2 weeks out. I was told I could get a rental car, I stated I was not paying for a rental when my Jeep is unsafe to drive and they will not fix it sooner. Mileage was 37,753

My 2015 Jeep Wrangler sahara unlimited has developed the "death wobble" and I don't know how to fix it. It will begin to violently shake after hitting any small bump on the roadway at speeds ranging from 50 mph to 70 mph*. shaking is so bad that I have to come to a complete stop as fast as possible because its very difficult to control while it shakes. * I only said at speeds up to 70 mph because that's the fastest speed limit where I live. I have no doubt that it will do it more violently at higher speeds.

At 34,000 miles I started to experience a rotational vibration in the front end of my vehicle and the drivers front suspension started to get louder over a couple weeks so I took the car to a dealership, they diagnosed it as the ball joints were worn and they said it was still loud due to tires age (which were rotated with every oil change at approx 4,000 miles). The tires were not worn due to age but instead cupped due to damaged suspension component, the dealership that I had the vehicle serviced at on 12/15/2016 at 32,534 miles found the tread depth to be at 8/32 or greater. I took the vehicle in a few days later back to the dealership that did the repair and they found the tread depth to be at 9/32.

- White Lake, MI, USA

At 11600 miles, the front tires on the vehicle are severely cupped and chopped on the inside driving surface. The vehicle has had poor handling since delivery. At 2400 miles, the vehicle was serviced for poor handling, wandering, tire oscillation at highway speed. The dealer did "steering repairs" and returned the vehicle. At 11500 miles the vehicle was returned to the dealer for identical handling and steering problems. The dealer reported there was no problem with the suspension and rotated the tires. When the vehicle was returned, and driven at 30+ miles per hour, there was a terrible howl coming from the rear of the vehicle, and the steering problems persisted. When the vehicle was taken back to the dealer, the tire damage was revealed to the owner, and the dealer advised that these particular tires need to be rotated every 2500 miles or this damage will occur. The dealer, and Chrysler, refused to replace the tires, stated the steering was fine, and said the tires need to be rotated as stated above. The tires are bf goodrich mud terrain tires, which came from the factory. The unsafe steering remains unrepaired, the two tires are ruined at 11000 miles, and Chrysler and the dealer have refused to do anything further to remedy the situation or repair the vehicle. This needs to be investigated as a steering/suspension defect, which the company is unwilling to remedy, or even replace ruined tires. The companies only remedy is to mandate a ridiculous rotation schedule for the tires. Please look into this.

My Jeep has 15000 miles and for the past year I has been suffering what is call the "death wobble". the car all the sudden will start shaking uncontrollable making it very hard to control the steering. I took it to westgate Jeep service in raleigh nc. They said nothing is wrong with it but it keeps doing it. I'm taking back this week. The death wobble starts when I go over an even section of the road and usually at a speed over 60 mph. The only way it stops is bringing the speed to almost 30 mph making very dangerous in the highway

I recently purchased a new Jeep rubicon unlimited and had the dealer install a mopar 4 inch factory approved lift kit. The kit has a lot of issues with it and not a whole lot of answers to fix them. I was driving the vehicle with my 13 year old daughter in the passenger seat when the steering wheel started to shake uncontrollably and we headed into oncoming traffic. I was able to get control of the Jeep only by slamming on the brakes and turning away from the oncoming traffic. The dealership has been very helpful with trying to answer my questions but they are now saying this is a mopar parts issue and they are in a holding pattern until they can get some answers. I called mopar and they said it is the dealers responsibility and Chrysler has the final say about the repair process. The Jeep has less than 800 miles on it and im in a rental minivan. Too cool !!!!!! list of issues : alignment castor cannot be corrected to factory specs due to lack of adjustment. Front axle is not centered due to lack of adjustment steering drag link digs into inside of wheel and knocks off the balance weights. The track bar bracket is not strong enough and has bent allowing the stabilizer and track bar to have excessive play. These issues all deal with the steering components and was caused by the installation of this lift kit.
