Bought my jeep in July. On 6 different occasions now it starts vibrating really bad. I can't get it to stop, can't steer it. I've heard of the death wobble and I'm pretty sure this is what's happening. I have an appointment Tuesday August 24 to put a new stabilizer on it. Has there been a recall on my jeep that wasn't fixed properly. It's a dangerous situation when it happens because I have no control over my vehicle at all. I've been lucky so far that it's happened in places that there were no other vehicles in front of me. There's no way I could stop if there was. I have no way of knowing if the stabilizer will fix the problem.

My 2007 Jeep Wrangler has a seriously dangerous problem commonly referred to as the death wobble! I had never heard of it until it did it while I was driving down a smooth suburb street and I searched the internet for help. The Jeep owners community named it the death wobble because it literally wobbles and shakes without any warning lights, without anything triggering it, on every type of road, and at every speed. After it happened on the interstate with my son in the car with me, I no longer allowed my children to ride in the Jeep at all. We almost died that day as it shook so violently almost putting us in the opposite side of the interstate! we missed getting T-boned by an 18 wheeler by just a hair. It was so frightening! the Jeep dealership service dept said there's nothing that they can do about it and that it was very common. How is such a danger common"?? how can these vehicles be legally sold?" the last time it happened I was alone and I ended up in a ditch. I was able to drive out of the ditch and went to nearby auto shop. Their diagnosis was that the engine "sling a rod" they said. For 3 months now, I have been making payments on a Jeep sitting dead in an auto shop. As a single mom I can't afford such a huge repair and route 66 warranty company decided to cancel my already paid for extended warranty when I filed the claim on it. They denied it and said they're canceling me. This vehicle is going to kill someone. Please help!!

Death wobble, uncontrolable, violent shaking of front end of vehicle. Very little streaing and breaking ability to move out of the flow of traffic. Occures frequently, for example, three times in one week; traveling between 40 and 55 mph. I don't dare drive faster. Jeep is not lifted or modified.

The day before yesterday my car died on the side of the road, I thought maybe I had ran out of gas because the light was on. I filled up with the gas can and the Jeep did not start. I tried to jump it using cables and it wouldn't turn over. I went to autozone and bought a new battery, the Jeep started after that. Yesterday I got an oil change, they checked my battery and showed me the oil after the change, said everything was golden. I was on my way home when my battery light popped on again, I kind of shook it off considering I just replaced it. Well my car jerked me forward, every single light turned on and my steering wheel locked up. I pulled off to the side of the high way as much as I could and my car was completely dead. I got it towed to a mechanic and they called to tell me that the issue was my "tipm" and that I would have to get it towed to a dealership. As I googled what that was regarding my year make and model I found out there was a recall on this about 7 years ago for my Jeep specifically.

Suspension failure: I've had issues with my steering column since having bought this vehicle. About a week ago my gear box fell out of the vehicle causing loss of steering control. I have been having issues with the steering column shaking violently since having it repaired. This shaking was also a problem for me about three months ago.

I was driving down a merge lane coming off of northbound highway 65 in springfield Missouri entering onto james river freeway on 2/19/2018 when my Jeep steering wheel started shaking violently. I pulled off the road and then drove very slowly for approximately 1 mile to park at my place of employment. I had to tow Jeep. I would describe this as the "death wobble" that seems to be a not so uncommon issue with Jeep. I have high mileage, but replaced engine due to another Jeep issue, so approximately 70000 miles on new engine.

When driving at speeds of 50 to 55 mph the Jeep will go into an uncontrollable wobble which you have to bring the Jeep to almost to a complete stop to get it under control.have had it to the place of purchase in June 2016 3 times. They say they have fixed it but it is still doing the same thing.last fix they turned brake rotors and reset tire pressure. No help.

While driving, if the vehicle hits a small bump, the front end shakes violently back and forth until I am able to stop the vehicle. This problem is widespread and can be found on the internet as the "Jeep death wobble". we've spent $900 to have this fixed and have been to 2 different garages to have it fixed and the mechanics can't find anything more that is wrong and claim it's a design flaw in the vehicle.

"takata recall" as of yesterday, December 14, 2015, a white tape started coming out of the steering column. A few weeks ago, the air bag light would come on and go back off which I thought was odd but, it went back out so I wasn't concerned and it never stayed on for any length of time. Then yesterday I get in my Jeep to go to work and as I turn the wheel out of my driveway, I could hear this noise like someone was wrinkling up paper. It is only eight miles from my home to work so, I kept listening to figure out what it was. By the time I got to work, there was a white tape coming out of the steering column. After work, I took it and had it looked at and was told that the "clock spring" is unraveling in the steering column. Usually this is only seen when you have been in an accident and the air bag has been deployed. I have never been in an accident so, it should not be unraveling inside the steering column. I was also told, I shouldn't drive my vehicle because there is a chance the air bag will deploy. I got it home and now it is sitting in my driveway.

This problem is known as the Jeep death wobble. On a 25 mile stretch of road between sonoita, AZ and tucson, Arizona I had to pull off the road 5 times in one trip to stop dangerous and almost unmanageable front-end steering vibrations. Jeep as far as I know has not issued a recall, but from reading automotive literature I understand that have issued 4 or 5 modification kits none of which has been successful in solving the problem. The Jeep steers normally at low speed or on straight glass smooth highways. However above 40 mph with any rhythmic ripple or individual pothole a front end hopping vibration starts that can only be controlled by stopping the vehicle and then pulling back onto the highway. I had a non-dealer garage fix it once and Jeep reimbursed me (but no formal recall). The problem reappeared in six months and I pressured the garage into fixing it again. Some time after that the problem reoccurred and they would not do anything. According to automotive literature Jeep as issued 4 or 5 different engineering changes for the problem, but none have produced a permanent fix. This tells me that the "Jeep death wobble" is less if a wear issue, but rather an engineering failure. Once the front end starts to bounce the tire in contact with the road will steer the vehicle to the opposite side of the road. Then the tire on the other side comes down and steers the other direction and the front end bounces sided-to-side with increasing violence.

Hit a slight bump at highway speeds and the Jeep suddenly started shacking violently. This is also commonly known as the "death wobble". I had no control over my vehicle and had to swerve over and stop, causing traffic behind me to have to react suddenly.
