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.

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 highway speeds, 3 times now the steering wheel begins to shake quite violently and impeded one's ability to control the car. This condition appears to last until speed is significantly reduced. The Jeep Wrangler 4 door is a 2018 with less than 6K miles.

Vehicle purchased new from dealership. Within first 100 miles was traveling down hwy at approximately 70 miles per hour, I hit a bump in the road while bearing left. Truck started shaking violently. Steering wheel same. As truck slowed down shaking stopped... dealer replaced stability bar and stated problem was corrected... within first week of truck being returned, I was traveling on hwy, this time hit a bump in road while bearing right. Truck started shaking violently to the point I barely avoided an accident with a vehicle to my front and another to my side... vehicle was returned to dealership, this time spoke with general manager, was told as of yet their is no solution. Corporate will have to recommend a fix. I've owned this vehicle for approx 1 month and 2 weeks. It's been in dealers possession for this and numerous other problems for more than half that time. At time of first repair I asked dealership for repair paperwork, was told it was not ready, it would be mailed to me. At time of second I am still awaiting documentation from first incident which has still not been provided. First incident occurred 1/24/19. Dealer kept vehicle for approximately 20 days. Second incident occurred morning of 2/26/19 as of this writing.

I have already filed one complaint on this and heard nothing. This is the second time I have had my 2018 Wrangler into the shop for repair for the same issue of the "death wobble" (when hitting a bump on the highway it goes into a terrible wobble you must slow way down for). No recall and still having problems. The last time it was in the shop recently it was in there for 4 weeks. This is riciculous!

Going approximately 70 mph on the freeway my Jeep very suddenly began to shake/vibrate very violently. Extremely difficult to maintain control. Felt like the car was going to come apart/tires were going to fall off. After slowing down to maybe 30 mph the shaking resolved. Jeep has approximately 5800 miles on it.

- Stow, OH, USA

Leased the Jeep Wrangler jl in October 2019. Within 3 weeks, the "Jeep wobble" occurred on the highway at a speed of 65 mph. Going over a bridge, the car hit a connector in road and started shaking violently. I was in the left lane and had to slow the car down immediately as it felt out of control, causing cars behind me to brake. I moved over a lane and the car stopped shaking once I slowed down below 50mph. I brought the car in to dealership and was told it's not under recall and it's not a safety issue. I completely disagree that it's not a safety issue as dodging cars on the highway in order to slow my car down while it shakes violently is clearly a safety issue for everyone on the road. The dealership installed a dampener. I finally got the car back after a week and within days, the same thing happened on the highway. I brought the car back in to the dealership where I was told they were contacting Chrysler to see if they installed the part correctly. My car was there for another week while they waited for Chrysler to return their phone call. They installed a stronger part, I was told and then finally had my car back. Within a couple of weeks, the wobble happened again. I dropped the car back at the dealership last week on 2/13 where it remains. I have not received word on what is being done at this point. Extremely frustrating as we are leasing this car and it's been at the dealership for almost 4 weeks total, which is one month payment without me even driving the car. We are looking into lemon law since this particular vehicle is not part of any recall. Again, this is a major safety concern for the driver and passengers in the car. I have 2 kids that travel with me in that Jeep and am never comfortable driving on the highway as I never know when that violent shake will happen.

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

Vehicle shakes and vibrates at highway speeds after a bump in the road is hit. Once it was so violently and continuous that I had to pull over and stop the vehicle so the shaking would stop. I was told this is "death wobble" a known issue in Jeep vehicles. Because I lease this 2018 Wrangler, I'd like know if there is a lemon law protecting me as a leasor so that I may exit my lease.

Death wobble. When hitting a bump at highway speeds, the steering wheel will shake side to side violently until the Jeep has slowed to around 40-45 mph. Steering is still possible but very limited. This happens when going straight or during turns at 55+ mph. This started when the vehicle had 3,800 miles. I have had the Jeep into the dealer 3 times. The steering stabilizer was replaced, then the tires were balanced. Now they are investigating tie rod ends and other possible causes.

- Newark, OH, USA

Vehicle has about 1-2 inches of free play in the steering wheel when straight. It is difficult to keep the vehicle in its lane at highway speeds, constant corrections are needed. Vehicle does not feel safe to drive at highway speeds.

- Gray, ME, USA

When traveling on the highway going approximately 70 mph I hit a bump causing both my front tires to shake uncontrollably. I had to slow down below 45mph before the shaking would stop. This happened again on my return home due to another bump on the highway. Both tires, front end, and steering wheel shake uncontrollably.

- Nashville, TN, USA

I was driving the Jeep on the highway going the speed limit of 65 mph and when changing lanes and hitting a bumpy part of the highway, the Jeep began to shake vigorously. I had to slow down to 40 mph and pull off the side of the hwy. After this incident, anytime driving the Jeep over 55 mph and hitting a bump, the Jeep would shake. I would have to slow down below the speed limit for it to regain control. The Jeep was taken into the service department and they installed a new "steering stabilizer". when traveling on the highway again going 65 mph, hitting a pothole, the Jeep began to shake again. I was able to regain control when slowing down under the speed limit to 50/55 mph. This is not acceptable for a brand new car. I should be able to go the speed limit on the highway, hit a bump, and not feel as if my life is in danger. These cars need to be recalled before someone is seriously injured including myself and my passengers.
