UA5/NHTSA 18V-675 track bar weld recall. I had the required inspection done two weeks ago, but dealer won't do the welding. I have been trying to make Jeep customer service make the local dealer fix this very serious issue, but nothing happens. I've even tried a dealer 1 hour 40 minute drive from me here in Arizona, they won't do it either.

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.

Death wobble due to defective part

- Fort Wayne, IN, USA

Hi, I purchased a 2018 Jeep Wrangler jlu new from you dealership and I have been having several significant issues with it recently. The most concerning is several issues with the steering. At highway speeds if you hit a bump like an expansion joint ; the steering wheel shakes aggressively and causes you to temporarily lose control of the Jeep and you have to slow down for it to self correct. It is similar to death wobble in a lifted Jeep but this one is stock. Also, with the colder weather the steering wheel is not turning freely at highway speeds. It is almost as if the power steering randomly turns off but the wheel is even more difficult to turn. The steering goes back to normal at slow speeds. And finally the radio and touch screen are not working properly. The fm radio randomly completely loses signal and can not find stations. Randomly even with the volume all the way up to 30 you can barely hear the radio. Several times the screen has made a pop noise and then just turned off. The blue tooth intermittently fails.

Around 7000 miles we started to get a vibration that would last till we slowed down every time we hit a bump with our Wrangler jl at highway speed. It has since turned into a violent shake that will literally rattle your teeth. You can feel the shake throughout the whole care and especially on the wheel. The bump in road does not have to be big and can be as small as the place where the road connects to an overpass. Having to slow down to around 40 mph to get it to stop when all other traffic is traveling 60+ mph is scary and we are now worried for our safety. Have taken the vehicle in to our Jeep dealer 3 times, but they have not been able to resolve the issue. They did say that they currently have 3 other jl Wrangler experiencing the same problem and they have yet to find a solution.

Last week, I drove over highway expansion joints while traveling at highway speed. My steering wheel began to shake violently and the entire front end began to shimmy and wobble. I immediately moved from the passing lane, through the center lane, to the far right lane. There, after reducing speed, the shaking stopped. I experienced this same problem this week while traveling on interstates at highway speed, 5 times within the same trip. The shaking began after hitting a seemingly small imperfection in the road. The first time, the wobbling and shaking must have been visible from the exterior as the car behind me dropped back and those to the right of me cleared the way for me to move over. The other four times were not as severe and the shaking stopped after I reduced speed. I called the Jeep dealership and spoke with the service department from the road to see if they had heard of this problem and to see if the car was safe to drive. The service rep claimed to have never heard of this issue and attributed it to a tire balance problem, although I assured him it was not. When I arrived at my destination, I researched the issue on the internet and found a problem called "Jeep death wobble" that perfectly describes my experiences. Videos posted on youtube also matched what had occurred. I plan to take my Jeep in for service when I return home. Date listed below is most recent incident and the day I contacted the dealership.

- Lancaster, OH, USA

Death wobble. At highway speeds when hit a bump the front end shakes violently you then have to slow down to 40 mph to make it stop. The vehicle is brand new and has only 1,200 miles on it. It is going to the shop for round 2 of repairs which I am sure will not remedy the issue. It has the Jeep death wobble and we don't feel safe driving it.

While driving on highway the Jeep Wrangler starting shaking badly, wobbbling, had to dealership twice same thing happening while driving on highway

- Watertown, MA, USA

On September 14, 2018, I leased my brand new Jeep jl sahara 2018. I signed up for Jeep app and immediately noticed a recall for my car - 2018 jl track bar weld, raising concern. On October 21, 2018, with less than 1000 miles, I was driving on local highway at @ 60mph, hit a bump and my entire steering/front of car began violently shaking. I immed. Slowed down to hope re-align and gain control of steering/car. It was the most frightening experience as I was going 60, had to slow to 35, while others were speeding up behind me, in addition to being scared & feeling unsafe in an out of control car. I called Jeep downingtown immed. On 10/22 to bring car in that week - 10/26. I looked it up and clearly is the known issue called the "death wobble". on 10/25, again on highway @ 65-70 mph, I hit a bump, experienced a yet worse violent shaking/out of control steering of my car. I pulled over as could not gain control slowing down. I got back on highway only to experience it yet again! I was shaking, scared as I could have been killed in addition to others!! I immed. Called Jeep dt and brought car into service. It is now 28 days and my car is still in service!!!. my experience with the dealer has been nothing but a nightmare. They tried 1) recall, 2) service software bulletin update, 3) steering stabilzer part and 4) tie rod part, none fixed problem. I last heard from them on 11/9 when they ordered tie rod - 13 days ago, unacceptable! I filed a case with Jeep Chrysler fca on 11/3- #57311328 and have had poor response. I have documented every day. I filed complaint with pa attorney general, no response. I have contacted lemon law lawyer and will be pursing action. All I want/deserve is to drive a safe car, as I'm paying for that! as NHTSA I hope you can ensure Jeep takes these cars off the road and refunds us to ensure no one gets killed!

Any description of the Jeep death wobble I have read is exactly what I am experiencing. I experienced my first incident while driving my 2018 Jeep Wrangler unlimited that I had purchased two months earlier. At highway speed's between 70 and 75 miles an hour if the vehicle hits a bump or a joint in a bridge well often begin to wobble and become almost violence. It will subside plan decreasing speed or holding the speed for about a mile or so. I brought it in to the Jeep service department and they said they see nothing wrong with the vehicle. I am at the point now where I can almost make it happen on command. My next step is to bring the mechanic in for a test drive with me. From what I've read I expect nothing to be done to help me out. I will also note that there are no modifications whatsoever to my car.

Vehicle exhibits vague, wandering steering. It could be described as jittery under certian conditions like bumpy roads while passing trucks. More alarming is the so called death wobble that occurs under certain conditions while traveling at high speed on highways and will not subside until the vehicle speed is reduced drastically to an unsafe speed for interstate travel.

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.

I have approximately 6,000 miles on my brand new 2018 jl Wrangler rubicon that has the mopar factory 2" lift, installed by the dealer. The mopar lift was installed appropriately, but yet the springs are curved, bent, and not straight. Chrysler put out a statement that this is normal, as basically all mopar lift installed on the new jl Wrangler has bent springs. This is only the beginning, because now my brand new jl Wrangler has death wobble. If you are in a vehicle that has death wobble, you would know why they call it death wobble. At varying speeds, mostly in the 35 to 45mph range, a small bump on the road causes the steering wheel and the tires to violently and uncontrollably go back and forth. The only way to stop this is to brake and slow down quickly. As you can imagine, if someone in front of you brakes suddenly, it can be very dangerous. The dealership will not fix the lift as they say curved springs are normal. They diagnosed the main problem to be a steering stabilizer, which is no back order. So, a company makes a defective product that puts the general public in danger, and their part to fix the problem is on back order. The steering stabilizer, according to mechanics is a band aid fix and really doesn't fix the main problem. Even the "Jeep guy" at the dealership indicated that it isn't a steering stabilizer.
