My car has been experiencing the 'death wobble' as some dealerships have told me that. The steering gets a mind of its own and its super hard to control sometimes. I purchased a brand new car and it feels like im driving a lemon. Almost every other day since I purchased it (one month ago) seems like ive almost gotten into an accident.

Wheels have a groove behind the spokes that accumulate water and dirt that settles to the bottom while parked and affects tire balance, causing dangerous shaking while driving. It is especially problematic on wet winter roads where they fill with water during while driving that pools in the bottom and freezes overnight. In less that 10,000 miles I have had this problem three times with water/ice and twice with mud.

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.

I purchased my 2018 Jeep Wrangler unlimited jl in June of 2018. Within the first month of having the vehicle the problems began. I initially had windshield seals that were missing so the Jeep would fill up with water from behind the dashboard. The dealership said they "fixed the problem" and then my windshield cracked because they didn't install properly, now it is leaking again behind the steering wheel. This will be my 3rd visit to the dealership for this problem. Then the "death wobble" began around 8/9,000 miles, almost causing multiple accidents. My vehicle has been in two dealerships since October 2018 trying to fix all of the issues occurring. The Jeep is being sent to the dealership for the 5th time on April 10, 2019 for ongoing steering issues. The damper (recall) in the vehicle was replaced 4 times without success and the steering continues to worsen. Keep in mind, the damper recall fix was only available at my dealership in January of 2019. I now have 18,000 miles on the vehicle, loose and wobbling steering, can't maintain a lane while driving, vibration and wobbling while breaking, the emergency break is no longer engaging (manual transmission), and just put in a complaint with Jeep a few weeks ago after little success with the dealership. Jeep is telling me that my unsafe, unstable vehicle has too many miles on it to buyback. I have had the vehicle for less than 10 months and have never had this many issues with any of my other vehicles in my life. The vehicle will be going back to the original dealership I purchased it from for the 5th time for steering issues and 3rd time for the windshield seals, along with many other issues. I no longer feel safe in my own vehicle in which I am paying a high price for every month.

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.

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 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

"death wobble" violent left to right shaking in the steering wheel and whole front end of Jeep. Happens anytime after hitting bump, pothole, bridge joint; on any type of road and speeds from 40mph to 80mph+. issue does not resolve its self until slowing the vehicle down to very low speeds, sometimes as low as 30mph.* 'upgrades' or any aftermarket parts/work have been done to the Jeep.

At highway speeds (60-80mph) the vehicle shakes violently after going over a bump or deformity in the road. Has occurred on multiple occasions. Everything shakes not just the steering wheel. Lasts until vehicle speed reduces.

- Snohomish, WA, USA

At a speed of approx. 75 mph after hitting a number of pumps/potholes on the highway the steering wheel started to vibrate/shake like crazy - a terrifying situation in rush hour on a highway. The shaking stopped once the speed was under 50 mph.

- Bloomfield Hills, MI, USA

When traveling above 70mph and hitting a rough place on the road the steering shakes violently including the dash until you slow down to 40mph. This has happened 6+ times now with the local deal ship not knowing how to fix. We were almost rear ended because of this. And thank goodness their wasn't an abandoned vehicle on the shoulder. We have a video of this happening

Bf goodrich mud terrain T/a on the 2 door Jeep Wrangler willy package is standard.. this tire is a hazard for such a light car in wet conditions. Many Jeep drivers have reported slipping on the road even at low speeds. One driver who had them on his truck, said his truck very slipped on wet roads like his Jeep Wrangler is doing now. I now have to drive so slow on wet curves, well below the posted, and much slower than all the other cars. Jeep put a excellent off road tire on a car, to be driven on roads. The normal tire, the Goodyear Wrangler, is a excellent tire. I was never advised that wet roads will be a hazard to drive on. When accelerating on the on ramp to I-10, my Jeep lost traction with a small amount of acceleration on the wet road. Exiting the I-35 on wet roads, my tires lost traction on the curve, rated at 35mph, when going under 30. I ended up in the grass. 30+ years driving. 10+ years driving Jeep. Never an accident or off the road. These tires are a huge safety problem on 2 door Wrangler. Just read the Jeep forums at all the problems.

At highway speed the vehicle develops a pronounced shimmy which lasts for several seconds when encountering a bump in the road. Identical to what was commonly called the "death wobble" on my 97 Wrangler.

The front wheels of the vehicle often shake violently at highway speeds when the vehicle hits a small bump in the road. Often the triggering event could also be uneven or patched sections of freeway. The front end shaking is so violent, control of the vehicle is difficult. The vehicle must be slowed immediately below 50mph to stop the shaking. This will happen at least once, every time I drive on a freeway.

- Plymouth, MI, USA

Excessive / severe front wheel shake when hitting bumps, pot holes, etc. Front wheels, along with the steering wheel will shake severely when hitting bumps at highway speeds. Vehicle control is greatly impacted. Front wheels and steering wheel will not stop shaking until vehicle is nearly brought to a complete stop. Ability to keep control of the vehicle and stay within your lane requires extreme/extended braking at highway speeds. Vehicle has been service by an authorized Jeep service department. Jeep recommended part(s) were replaced but the problem still exists.

- Andover, MN, USA

Jeep steering wheel and front end begin shaking violently when a small bump is struck at higher speeds. This forces the driver to slow to unsafe speeds on the freeway potentially creating accidents.. Jeep currently will not correct the problem, but only allows the dealership to replace the steering damper, which fails within the same week.

- Reynoldsburg, OH, USA

Experiencing 'death wobble' at high speeds when hitting bump in road. Jeep shakes violently. One time I had to come to a complete stop. Seems as if something is loose with the steering or suspension isn't up to par.

- Powell, TN, USA

While driving on a highway, construction zone on a speed below 55, suddenly the steering started to wobble. Steering took a 45 degree to the right and was about to hit a car next but gained control back by holding the steering tight and steering to left, lost control fo the vehicle for almost 30 secs and reduced speed to 20 mph turning on the emergency blinker (this was on a freeway). Awaiting to schedule a service appointment with the dealer.
