After running my 2018 Jeep Wrangler sahara unlimited jl for a short time, I would shut the car off then when restarted five minutes later, I would smell "maple syrup". constant problem when car heated up to running temp. Fan box emitted smell. Took car to dealer. Dealer said possible pin hole leak so they replaced the heater coil. When finished they said they could see residue where it had been leaking. I can occasionally smell this still after two months.

New 2018 Wrangler jl sport with 1500 miles. Reporting that when I ride over a bump, such as a transition from pavement to an overpass, at a speed greater than 55 or 60 mph, the front end violently shakes / wobbles as what I hear other describe as a death wobble. This forces me to reduce speed to as low as 20 mph for the wobble to cease. This happens each day as I drive the same route to work and therefore drive over the same overpass. Relevant is that the bump within the transition from pavement to overpass is not what I would consider a significant bump.

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.

Brand new Jeep Wrangler would shake violently when hitting a small bump when traveling on highways. Looked up symptoms and it sounds like what is called a "death wobble". had to slow down to under 30 mph to get it to stop.

- Plain City, OH, USA

At highway speeds an extreme front end - steering vibration (wobble) has occurred on several occasions causing a dangerous situation of having to immediately slow down on the highway. I then maneuver to the side of the roadway where it will re-set and I continue on. This condition has occurred several times over the past month and twice yesterday. My 2018 Jeep Wrangler has 4500 miles and I have not made any modifications on it since the June 2018 purchase. When this occurs the entire Jeep shakes rather violently and is an immediate concern and driving distraction.

Death wobble. Bought brand new 2018 Jeep sahara in June. 12/1/2018 hit a bumpy road and went into a violent shake. It did it twice more later that day on 12/2 it did this again. All at speed 55-80 the shaking is so bad it is hard to control vehicle. Your hands will be numb after trying to hold the steering wheel.

Missing welds and very poor and incomplete welds on the frame horns. Was replacing front bumper and noticed a weld that burned right through the metal in the frame and left a hole through the metal allowing the weather and elements to penetrate the inside of the frame. Upon further inspection, I also found incomplete welds and welds that were missing completely on one frame horn that were all present on the exact same frame horn located on the other side of the frame. On the frame horn missing the welds, the metal plates supporting the frame horn were not flush or even, the plate was crooked. On the frame horn where the welds were present, the plate was flush and even. This is the location where the bumper is bolted to the frame to protect the front of the vehicle. The welds could not be seen unless the bumper was removed

Death wobble

Whith only 6, ooo miles on my Wrangler I noticed some slight shimmying while driving on the main roads then when I got on the expressway I had just reached about 65mph and my Jeep started shaking uncontrollably which forced me to pull over and call a tow truck. It took almost two months for the part to come in ( stearing damper) and 2 tries for the dealership to fix the problem. I have had it back one week.

When driving at highway speeds steering seems loose and not very responsive. It takes a good deal of turn in the wheel for it to move the wheels a little. If you have to move quickly the wheel does not react. I feel it is unsafe because if you needed to get out of the way and move the wheel it does not respond, in my option the steering is too loose and does not have any resistance behind the wheel and is dangerous and could cause an accident.

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.

While driving on the highway, going around a bend at 65 miles an hour, the Jeep started shaking so violently I had to pull over to the side of the road. It felt like the Jeep was going to fall apart right under me. It stopped shaking when I slowed down to around 35 miles. It was toed to a dealership. It only has 3100 miles & 4 months old. Dealership said they found nothing wrong. It has not happened since but still afraid it will happen again and cause an accident.

I have been experiencing the Jeep death wobble when I drive my Jeep on the freeway. It is very frightening, I have to whip knuckle the steering wheel to keep the car in the lane and not swerve out of the lane. The shake is so violent it feels like the tires are going to fall off. I have brought my Jeep in twice already. I do not feel safe in it and am very concerned that Jeep is not addressing this issue.

The Jeep begins to shake and eventually wobble at highway speeds. The onset is quickly and does not typically go away without drastic reduction in speed. It has happened 4 times in the pat week. I have a video showing the event but am unable to upload. It starts with a small shaking and then increases in intensity to a rocking of the vehicle with steering stability issues.

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.

When driving our new 2018 Jeep Wrangler jl sport, that has not been modified, we have experienced on numerous occasions what is come to be known as the death wobble. It began around the 5,000 mile range. This happens when we hit a pothole, expansion joint or quite honestly any abnormality in the road and the speed of the vehicle can be anywhere from 40 mph or higher. Just recently I was going 65 mph on a major highway and clipped a pothole and it felt like my Jeep was going to fall apart. The only way to stop the wobble is to apply the brakes. When on a major highway going with the flow of traffic at 65 mph the dangers are tremendous in having to do this. Our Jeep is no longer safe to drive.

Only has 10K miles. Has occurred 4 times in total.
