Standard 2018 Jeep Wrangler, no modications, factory tires, recently serviced with oil change. Day, dry conditions, no road hazards. While driving on the interstate at approx 70 mph, the asphalt area around an overpass is a little high, and when our front tires made contact with the uneven surface, the car immediately began to violently shake and wobble for over 45 seconds to a minute, and the steering wheel wobbled excessively while I was trying to troubleshoot the malfunction, and maintain control of the Jeep. I proceeded to slow for to approx 40 mph using my brakes lightly, and maintaining a grip on the steering wheel which I could barely hold onto and the oscillations, went away. I resumed acceleration back to 65-70 mph, and again encountered some more uneven pavement. The entire episode re-occured and was so violent that I needed to pull over to the side of the road and shutdown the car and visually inspect for damage. The shaking was so violent, I thought something might have broken, or the tires were about to fall off. This car has approx 16,000 miles, and never had any damage. This is the 6th time this has happened.in the past two years and it only happens on tarmac type surfaces, while going 60-75 mph.

While in cruise control mode on a highway doing speed of 70 mph when coming to a slight bump in the road on a curve causes the vehicle to go into severe shaking mode, even after canceling the cruise control by either braking or canceling manually it continues. The only way it stops is if I pull off the highway and stop the car completely.

Consumer heard a clunk/knocking noise coming from the rear of the vehicle. The right rear lower control arm bracket had separated from the frame. Manufacturer stated that the cause of the separation was that the right rear lower control arm bracket inboard weld was completely off-seam. Manufacturer repaired vehicle on 2/5/2020.

We bought this vehicle from hoffer Jeep in topeka, ks. The vehicle was won buy a person at a casino event so we are the 2nd owner. The vehicle had, I believe under 2K miles, upon our purchase. Since, we have owned the vehicle it has consistently had a "death wobble". I simply cannot count how many times at or under mandated highway speeds this vehicle has entered a 'death wobble". the most recent was from returning from manhattan ks to Kansas City the vehicle entered a "death wobble" no less than 4 times. The last time I was driving 5 miles under the 75mph speed limit when hitting some road chatter, nothing significant, caused uncontrollable chatter in front wheels, axle, generating strong vibration through the steering column and wheel. I released the accelerator and the vehicle came out of the "death wobble" at 27mph, on an incredibly busy highway. This was/is unsafe at highway speeds. The dangers it caused could have been catastrophic in nature and need to be addressed before someone is killed. This vehicle is stock and has not had its suspension, tires, etc., adjusted or manipulated in any shape, fashion, or form. Please advise on how this matter should be dealt with going forward? thanks

Driving at highway speeds the vehicles steering is dangerous and it becomes more pronounced in the wind and in the rain. It drifts dangerously and when trying to correct the drift the steering is not very responsive since it has way too much play so you begin to over correct causing even more issues. In the rain the vehicle has the feel as if it's hydroplaning and the impact from the wets roads and puddles causes the vehicle to drift even more. I found that many people have received replacements of the 1.steering box (68259507ae) 2.the damper (recall 77072360) 3.track bar (68394087aa) all of these parts have been upgraded by mopar and I'm guessing that was for obvious reasons but my dealership and customer service at Jeep/Chrysler refuse to acknowledge there is a problem yet the problem persists. I showed them proof in both videos and with the upgraded parts and it does not seem to matter to them that this is a dangerous situation. I will provide a link of a person who got these issues repaired this individual has the same make model and year Jeep I have. Https://www.youtube.com/watch?V=asz1wujbjby. I do not feel comfortable driving this vehicle it feels dangerous to me... my wife will not drive it at all and she was the one who wanted the vehicle since we bought it for her. This has been going on since we bought the vehicle. I have done the research and 1,000's of people are complaining about this, some have a dangerous wobble, some have really bad drift where its hard to keep the vehicle on the road at highway speeds, and some have both. Funny, I was told by my dealership that this was normal for a Jeep and its not acceptable I told him it felt dangerous and he agreed it drifts but says that normal for a Jeep. It gets so bad at times in the rain I have to get in the right lane and drive 30 miles per hour in a 70 mile per hour zone. The Jeep has only 5K miles

When traveling at highway speeds, a small bump in the road causes the steering wheel and front suspension to shake violently. The Jeep dealership has replaced the steering dampner twice but there is no guarantee it will fix the issue

- Anthem, AZ, USA

After steering damper recall was completed I'm still experiencing the "death wobble".vehicle only has 2,600 miles and has been to the dealership 3 times and get told every time that everything looks good. Problem occurs when I hit a bump or a rough spot on the road and the vehicle and steering wheel begin to shake like the vehicle is jumping on the road. Typically occurs when traveling over 50 mph and only corrects after you slow down to 35 mph. Issue continues to happen and fca is not addressing a permanent resolution. I feel the vehicle is unsafe and can pose a life threatening situation for me and my passengers.

My Jeep started to shake violently after driving over some small bumps on the highway while driving 60-65 mph. I had to pull my car over. I thought I blew a tire, but I did not. I drove off without the vehicle shaking after I waited a few minutes. Unfortunately, it happened again in the same day when I drove over a rough patch on the highway traveling the same speed. I pulled over again and waited before driving off. I did some research and learned this is a know safety problem with Jeep called a "death wobble". I made an appointment to have my Jeep looked at on 2-4-2020, however the service garage had to cancel my appointment due to their internet being down. I have rescheduled for 2-7-2020. If the service does not correct the problem, what am I to do? thank you, [xxx]. information redacted pursuant to the Freedom Of Information Act (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).

Stabilizer control and throttle control light came on. Vehicle was taken in for repair. Vehicle was picked up and the steering felt light. As I'm driving on the highway I hit a bump and the steering wheel began to shake violently. I slowed down and it stopped. I called the dealership and explained what happened and I'm getting the run around. Claim it could be warp rotors. It's not warped rotors after I did some research. I found out this vehicle has what's called a death wobble.

Driving at about 60 mph when I went over bridge separators and the whole front end started to wobble and shake until I slowed to approx. 40 mph thought the front wheels were going to come off.

2018 Jeep Wrangler has the "death wobble." Specifically, while driving above 50 mph, the vehicle somewhat frequently hits a bump or crack in the road which causes the front suspension to violently shake and essentially lose control. The only cure for this "death wobble" problem is to slow down to below 20 mph or more often slow down to a complete stop. This vehicle is essentially impossible to drive on the highway because of this problem. I cannot believe that this NHTSA has not issued a warning or a recall for this problem. It is beyond dangerous, especially in traffic.

When looking at the vehicle on a car hoist, unsatisfactory welds on the chassis were identified. The welds occurred at various locations and included defects such as excessive porosity, excessive weld spatter, and off location of the original weld and touch up welds. I am not a certified weld inspector, however I am a state certified welder, and federally licensed aircraft mechanic. I have been taught to identify weld defects, and understand effects they have on structural strength. For being a robotically welded frame I found the quality of some welds unacceptable, and should not have passed quality control at the factory. I am not an automotive engineer, nor am I a structural engineer, however I assume that the structural strength of the frame in this state is less of the original design strength. This issue should be dealt with before something bad happens.
