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 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.

After hitting some minor pot-holes on the highway while going 55-60 mph, the front end of my Jeep began shaking violently, making it hard to hold the steering wheel to control the vehicle. I had to come to almost a complete stop to regain control, this has occurred twice, with the dealer changing the steering stabilizer both times. The first time it happened was about a month ago, this time it occurred on 03/08/2019

Death wobble if I hit any little bump or crease in the road. I have to stop the vehicle completely for it to stop. Also if I let go of the stearing wheel, yhe vehicle vears off to the right or left.

Car was brought in 3 times for death wobble. First could not replicate, then part was replaced with a part removed from another vehicle as the required part was on nationwide back-order. That part was defective, car went back in the shop and waited for new part to come in. On 3/6/19 the death wobble reoccurred with my vehicle. It does not stop until you reduce your speed - difficult to do in heavy traffic. Currently have not received response from dealer to bring car back in. They had fca engineer look at it the last time it was in and will not send me copy of the documentation.

"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.

There is a lot of play in the steering at normal speeds. Also while driving down the road minor bumps make the car jart in either direction and when larger bumps are hit the vehicles steering wheel shakes violently back and fourth until I slow down. My wife stated that she looked in her rearview mirror as I was following he and she said it looked like the wheels were wobbling. The car is currently in the shop waiting to be repaired. They said the steering dampner needed replace, but from what I read that will just mask the problem for now

A very extreme vibration in the steering wheel occurs at certain times when an uneven road is encountered at highway speeds also known as death wobble. The steering damper was replaced and does not solve this issue. The vehicle must be pulled over to the emergency lane and a complete stop must occur before continuing on. Until this proses has been completed it feels like the vehicle is loosing control by the operator. This usually occurs at a speed of 45 miles an hour on up.

My vehicle has under 3000 miles. I have already taken it in once to see a dealer about this problem. When going 50mph or higher, after I hit a bump, my steer wheel will vibrate for a couple of seconds then stop. Twice now, after hitting a bump on the highway, going over 50 mph and surrounded by traffic, the steering wheel and the vehicle shook violently. The first time it lasted about 10 seconds. I immediately took to dealer and their paperwork says that the steering dampener was replaced. The second time just happened but luckily it only lasted 2 seconds. Both times it only stopped shaking after I slowed down under 50 mph while on a busy highway which has cars going 70 mph. This a major safety concern. I've been reading on forums and I'm not the only driver experiencing this. Please make this aware before someone gets injured or even killed due to this defect.

When traveling around 65 mph, whenever I hit a pothole or bridge expansion joint the front end of my 2018 Wrangler jlu starts to shimmy. On the internet it's given the nickname of "death rattle". the shimmy/vibration lasts from 5 to 10 seconds and sometimes requires slowing down to make it stop.

Jeep attempted a second fix of the death wobble problem. By changing out the dampeners and extending some rod. Well it did help with the death wobble, if you hit certain bumps just right with the wheel turn, it still feels like there's a slight wobble, that is quickly corrected. After this second fix. My Jeep no longer rides like it used to. I find myself drifting more easily and the steering not as it was before

Death wobble. Vehicle has been in twice to get fixed. Once for a month. Now we have less than 4000 miles on it and it is still there. We have a horrifying video also.

I have a Jeep Wrangler unlimited jl sport purchased in June of 2018. Just recently every time I get above 60-65 mph I get a massive amount of vibration also known as 'death wobble' this is happening at highway speeds and can start even if I dont hit a bump or pothole. The only way to get out of it is to brake hard to slow the vehicle down to stop it. Has possed a safety hazard to me because it makes me loose control of the vehicle as I cant turn out to move my vehicle to the side of the road. The death wobble is caused by a combination of items and this should be investigated to see wether a safety notice is needed.
