At 9700 miles both my wife and I experienced the Wrangler front end wobble. Speed was approx 60 - 65 mph on a paved bypass. Both times it was when we were transitioning from a bridge to the pavement. This happened at different times and different locations on the bypass. This wobble is a frightening experience, and your not sure what to do to stop it.

Heavy amount of rust throughout the bottom of the vehicle. Rust is located on frame welds, suspension connection brackets, and axel components. Photos were taken 10 days after purchasing from the dealership. I took the Jeep back and asked them to make sure everything was safe. The dealership looked at me like I was crazy and said yep that is normal to have rust. I asked it is normal to have this much rust on a brand new car. That is crazy. The steering jerks to the right and left constantly and you are always having to fight it to stay in a straight line. I have read from other report that this has become a common problem for this model year. I hope this issue will be resolved. I bought my car on 06/29/2019. The photos that are attached for your review were taken on 07/11/2019 thanks [xxx] information redacted pursuant to the Freedom Of Information Act (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).

This happened twice on the same day. Vehicle was in motion at approximately 60 miles per hour entering highway when a bump was hit front end started to shake and shimmy all the way through the steering wheel. Almost had to completely stop the vehicle to get the shaking to stop. This is called the Jeep death wobble. I had received a recall from Fiat Chrysler of America several months earlier to have my vehicle steering stabilizer replace. After a lot of research on this particular problem I think the vehicle manufacturer should be held liable for all front end damage done for the life of the vehicle in relation to this problem in engineering. I have seen many places where they say this problem will ruin your ball joints and your other linkages in your front end. They should inform the consumer of this problem at time of purchase.

Took vehicle in with 'wheel wobble' at 7728 miles and dealer replaced steering damper. After driving 300 miles took back to dealer with same issue. They stated that they could not duplicate and returned the vehicle. I then took to an aftermarket dual steering stabilizer that hid the problem for another 8ooo miles. Upon taking back to dealer with now 18000 miles - there is an additional steering stabilizer that factory recommends. Dealer will not take aftermarket off and install recommended factory replacement. Where is protection for consumer the vehicle was purchased for a teenage driver and it is not safe...

When driving at around 60 mph or faster, hitting a bump in the road causes the vehicle to shake somewhat violently for 10-30 seconds or so. This happens multiple times per week and started about 2 months ago.

Driving on highway @ approximately 65 mph, car lost most steering control and violently swayed from side to side (felt as if a tire had blown or come off); in inside lane of 3 lane road; extremely hard to control vehicle. Put on flashers; other driver's able to see control issue and allowed me to shakily get across other two lanes to side of road.

My 2018 Jeep jl has had non stop issues with the "death wobble" so much that I have had to park this vehicle and not drive it. It has been in three times for repairs, each time promised a fix would occur. Last week I was driving on the interstate between work and home, and I hit a regular uneven pavement one would drive over everyday, and the vehicle resonated so much that it pushed me into the left lane.. luckily no one was there but decided to park the vehicle till the next scheduled fix on 11/18. After receiving the vehicle back the instability is still there and resonates when going over any unevenness in roads. I have created a case with Jeep waive (case number 68188061) and called jim cogdill Dodge dealership in knoxville tn whom has repaired the front end the last three times. I was told on 11/22 that the dealership just got notice by a official Chrysler notification that the recall fix for the death wobble is not fixing the instability in the front end, and in some cases making it worse. They have been told to stop fixing the cars until a new part/fix is released by Chrysler. I now have a car that I cannot drive, purchase new just last year and have lost all trust in the safety of this car. I am looking for help to solution and help others whom are in my same situation. Additionally, my vehicle computer has messed up and is showing almost 1 million miles (999,999). This complaint is also part of my case as I cannot sale my vehicle, or be legal with the odometer in current status.

More than once I have experienced extreme shaking of the steering wheel and vehicle. It happens when I am on the highway and hit a bump. Each time it has happened I tense up for fear of losing control. I have to slow down to about 35mph for it to stop. This is not safe to do on the highway. It is also illegal to do as the minimum speed limit is 45mph. I brought my Jeep into the dealership on 11/11/2019 for an oil change, tire rotation and to have some dampener thing installed due to a recall. The very next day it did the same thing. I have now been trying to avoid going over 45 mph.

When traveling on highway at 50-70 mph and hitting a bump, the front of the Jeep begins to shake or wobble very hard back and forth. The only way to stop it is to hit the brakes quickly and hard, making driving very unsafe - especially increasing the danger of getting rear ended. It has been in the shop 3 times to correct this issue to no avail. Engine light also goes on and off repeatedly.

The contact owns a 2018 Jeep Wrangler. The contact received an unknown recall notice regarding the "death wobble". mountain valley motors, Inc. (7535 appalachian hwy, blue ridge, ga 30513) performed the recall repair. While the contact was taking a long road trip, the vehicle experienced the "death wobble". the vehicle was taken to miller's Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram (48 keely island road, martinsburg, wv 25401, (888) 362-8027) to have the recall repair performed again. The dealer claimed that the original recall repair was performed incorrectly and the part was installed upside down. The vehicle was repaired and able to be driven home; however, the contact stated the front end of the vehicle continued to shake. The mountain valley dealer stated that the manufacturer issued new instructions on how to install the part, which could have caused confusion. The dealer did not know when the instructions were issued. The failure mileage was 13,000. The VIN was unknown.

While driving northbound on I-275 to tampa from sarasota with my wife and newborn son, the vehicle began shaking violently after going over a bumpy part of the road around a curve of the highway. This continued until I pulled my foot off the gas and allowed the vehicle to slow 10-15 mph.

My wife experienced started experiencing the harmonic frequency anomaly aka "death wobble" just as the weather started to get cooler in NJ. I brought vehicle in to perform the tsb on 11/15. The very next day 11/16 the death wobble came back only this time much worse! she was heading to a 4H leadership training course with a car full of children, thankfully she was able to maintain control and pull off the side of the highway which in itself it not safe to do. The fix that fca has published does not work - NHTSA do your job investigate and mandate fca fix the issue not put a band aid on a broken leg.

While driving down the road at 60mph+ my Jeep goes into the death wobble when I hit a rough patch in the road. This is not a bump in the road but a rough patch! this has happened to me many times and it is extremely scary! I have to slow down to around 40mph to make it stop shaking side to side so violently I can hardly keep it on the road. I have already been in and had the upgrade done to my steering damper. I have no modifications on my Jeep... I drive it as purchased. This recently happened on the interstate while driving 70 mph in the passing lane in heavy traffic... I'm lucky to still be alive.

Just had my oil change and tire rotation done 11/1/2019 and begin experiencing wobble in frontend after going over small bumps in the road. Now I see other vehicles having the same issue. Someone described it the "death wobble" I agree I thought I was going to crash my Jeep.

I was driving my Jeep on the highway at 65mph and drove over a seam(bump) in the road. The front wheels and steering wheel began the shake violently and uncontrollably. I had to bring the vehicle to a complete stop in order for the shaking to stop. Finding a place to come to a complete stop on the highway is not safe at all.

When I hit a small bump going over 50mph. Shakes violently. Jeep has tried to repair twice. Still does it. Very unsafe, especially for winter driving.

- Verona, WI, USA

I was driving down the highway when my Jeep Wrangler jl hit a bump and the car started shaking uncontrollably and it was very difficult to drive. I wasn't sure what was happening so I slowed down significantly in case I needed to pull over. The shaking then stopped but after about 15-20 seconds. Not less that a mile down the road did this exact same thing happen again after I hit a bump. It lasted just as long and didn't stop until I slowed down significantly. I believe this is related to an issue with the front suspension and steering column.
