Steering shimmy/shake/wobble when driving at speed. Steering does not return to straight after making turn. Steering wheel feels loose and and play so it feels like it does not immediately respond when turned. This issue has happened on multiple occasions and continues to occur. Vehicle has been taken to Jeep for service and repairs did not correct issue. Another service appointment scheduled.

At first when traveling at high speeds in cold weather the steering would become extremely stiff when turning left and then it would loosen up quickly causing the vehicle to swerve very badly. The dealership updated the steering modem and it stopped for approximately 3 months. This week when going straight over a bridge on the highway at high speeds the vehicle shook violently (referred to as death wobble) and it felt like the tires were going to fall off. It has been with the dealership for 5 days and I still don't have it back yet.

I was driving at 45 miles per hour when my service shifter light went off. Within 1 minute I lost my power steering, and brakes. My car locked into gear and I lost all ability to accelerate. At that point the car started dinging and prompting every code in the car. Sway bar engagement, rear electronics, fuel low, tire pressure, change oil.....I can't remember every one. When I got my car to stop I could not get the car to turn off and all of the fans were blowing on high along with the motor reeving. I finally got it to turn off and called for a tow. The repair shop told me the car had thrown over 100 codes but none were active. They kept my Jeep for 10 days and told me they took it apart and checked everything. I was told because no issues were current they could not find a problem though.I picked it up and not 8 miles down the road the same exact thing happened. This time however I was in heavy traffic where I was almost hit and because I had no brakes or power steering I almost hit a person walking. Thank god I was able to avoid all of that and get pulled over to safety. It is currently in the shop again.

My 2018 Wrangler will not go straight I need to correct all the time. If I look off to my side mirrors or my instruments when I look back to the road I must correct. If there is a wind it becomes a serious problem. I requested the dealer fix the problem and they replaced the steering shock.that did not solve the problem. Help

Jeep violently shakes when hitting a road irregularity at highway speeds. The wheel wobbling stops only when significantly reducing speeds. Reducing at that rate of speed can be very dangerous. I have had 4 steering dampeners replaced by the dealer. Having owned multiple Jeep, I never expected to experience death wobble on a brand new stock vehicle. The dealer is waiting for a track bar and new stabilizer to install. I am not confident in their ability to resolve this issue without aftermarket parts. This is an unsafe condition that needs immediate attention. Jeep looks at this as an exaggerated issue and have been quoted saying no one has died from death wobble. Do we have to wait until someone dies for it to be a real safety issue?

I leased my Wrangler October 28 2018. Within two weeks I got what is called the 'death wobble' the steering shakes uncontrollably and the front tires shake side to side when you hit a bump going over 50mph. Took vehicle in to dealer. After waiting over two weeks steering damper was replaced. Two months later same issue. Took back to dealer new steering damper put on along with what they said was 'other issues ' I now know they also replaced the track bar. Two weeks later same issue. Took to another dealer whom I heard delt with this more. They again replaced the track bar. Two days later same issue. I filed a complaint with the manufacturer. They say it doesn't fall in the lemon law. I have no answers and am forced to drive an unsafe vehicle under 45mph. I have no answers and the dealership says there is nothing they can do.

Takata recall I purchased a 2018 Jeep sahara with 18 miles on it and have brought it to the shop 2 times for death wobble. It still has the issue and its getting worse. The Jeep dealership seems to have no answers on how to fix it. The last issue made me slow down to approximately 20mph on the highway nearly resulting in a rear ending accident.

I have a 2018 Jeep Wrangler jl and since I got the truck in July 2018, there has been at least 10 times during which I'm driving on the highway going over 50 miles per hour where I will hit a bump in the road and the steering wheel starts shaking violently. It happened 2 times today during a 2 hour drive. It can last for over a minute and I need to slow down considerably to get it to stop.

While driving at approx 60-65mph, in 30 degree weather and on the highway, I was coming around a bend and the steering locked up. I could not turn my steering wheel and almost collided with a tractor trailer and was heading straight into the median. After pulling on the steering wheel and slowing down, the steering then loosend and my car swerved almost hitting the car in the next lane over. This has happened on 2 other separate occasions besides the one just explained. I'm very concerned over the safety of my family. The dealership 'couldn't duplicate the problem' so no repair was done. This is a serious problem and needs to be addressed asap.

Death wobble. The steering system in the vehicle will shake violently after hitting a bump at speeds between 40mph and 70mph. The shaking of the steering system continues until the vehicle is slowed to speeds around 40mph and below, at which time the shaking fades until it dissipates completely. The shaking cannot always be anticipated and can cause panic with the driver, especially a driver that has never experienced the shaking before or has never driven the vehicle before. The vehicle has been taken to the dealership to address the issue. The steering damper was replaced, but the issue was not resolved. The vehicle is scheduled to go back to the dealership for further inspection of the issue. At this point, I would deem the vehicle unsafe to drive at highway speeds.
