I am filing this complaint due to a serious and recurring safety issue known as the “death wobble” on my 2018 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited JL. This defect causes violent front-end shaking at highway speeds when hitting bumps or making minor steering corrections. The issue began during the first week of ownership and has persisted through five separate service visits. Repairs have included steering damper replacements, track bar, alignments, and balancing, but the issue continues to return. A dealership technician confirmed the shaking on October 9, 2023, during a test drive at over 70 mph. The vehicle was only sent to a certified Jeep service center on the fourth visit. After researching the problem, I found this is a well-documented and widespread issue among Jeep owners — especially on Wrangler models of certain years. There are numerous forums, websites, and videos where other owners describe the exact same symptoms, often with no long-term resolution. I shared this information with the dealership to help them understand the seriousness of the issue, and only then did they investigate further. I have video evidence of the defect, technician confirmation, service records, and text messages showing dealership delays. This defect creates a major safety concern, especially with children in the car, and could easily cause an accident.

It is the death wobble. I took the car in once. My cars started violently shaking when I would hit 58 Miles per hour and curve to the left, or the right and shakes so uncontrollably that I would have to tap the brakes but not too hard. Is I did not want to go off the road period there were cars that were behind me. That would shoot off to every direction trying to get around me. And yes, of course it's dangerous. Not supposed to be going down the interstate. Drinking a d*** Bloody Mary anyways. I took it into 2 dealerships. There are car places around where I live. They went ahead and diagnosed it and charged me $5060 or no 70 something. To fix it and it was even worse, so I brought it back to them. They tried to balance the other tire but that did not work, and that is the point where the other mechanics came over and said, that's the death wobble, which I had never heard of. He then told me about the staring damper, which then I looked everything up and saw that you had a class action settled where you were supposed to take cars in and fix them. However, this person seems scared of their own shadow, so who knows, but I asked for the history to see if anything had been done? And you guys, Jeep or Jeep, refuse to give it to me, said I would have to call the dealership, I called the dealership, they said, oh we don't give you a copy of that. I said, well, why wouldn't you? I mean, it is my car that I'm buying from y'all and they said, yeah, sorry, we don't do that. You'll have to get like a car, fax or something. I'm like, hold on, you guys. Sure, don't want to pay for anything. Considering this whole entire thing. Is your fault? And uh, the fact that you guys asked for a Vin number in order to fix my vehicle is ridiculous because whether you had the Vin numbers stored or not, it's a 2018, and I got the d*** death wobble. Now, mine happens to be a limited edition golden eagle. And you will see in the videos. I told them it was going to end up costing them a lot mor

Unknown-APPARENTLY THIS IS AN ON GOING WRANGLER ISSUE BUT WAS NEVER recalled AND I SEE NO COMMENTS. I see all over the forums that this is a problem and it is driving me insane coming from the left front wheel well area not only during breaking, but both breaking and slowing down no foot on gas or break. There is a very large, creaking, loud, creaking noise, coming out of that area. It also makes the steering wheel bobble, which I think is causing what everybody is saying, the death wobble. I’ve taken it to Jeep . I have done multiple car washes. I’ve tried everything they are telling me that there’s nothing wrong with it but you can clearly hear that sound and it goes creek creek creek, creek, creek, creek, creek, over and over and over again until the car stopped, and there is also a loud grinding noise when you start the vehicle as well.

Gray, TN

WHEELS

When going over a bump in the road at speeds above 35 mph the front end shakes the steering wheel and it feels like the front end is jumping up and down and is hard to control. I have spent over 1k in parts and labor including a new stabilizer shock, drag link, tie rod ends and more. It still does it even after these repairs. The front end has been aligned and tires and wheels balanced. The vehicle is dangerous to drive and there does not seem to be a fix for it. FCA said replacing the steering stabilizer would fix it but had no effect. The cause has been labeled unable to determine. I habe had it at two different shops and a lotnof suspension/steering pieces replaced.

I purchased my 2018 Jeep wrangler and has less than 13k miles. I been having alot of front shaking (death wobble) since purchasing the vehicle. I have heard of complaints about the front end shaking violently and have had this problem a few times. Especialy at highway speeds if I hit a pothole as such. I can get it to stop if i am able to slow down and apply light brake pressure. I have checked all the steering for tight ess and even had the track bar replaced (as per other owners). But still have the problem occasionally. As for alignment, the jeep runs really well and straight without problems. I hear theres possible problems with the aluminum steeringg box (which I do have) vs. the steel steering box (I hear has a recall??). Is there any other issues as this is really scarry. Other than the replacement track bar everything is stock on this vehicle. Behicle was purchased from Cascade Auto in Wenatchee Washington 22 July 2022 with 10,893 miles.

This Jeep has the notorious “Death Wobble”. It has been inspected numerous times, there was a recall on a part ~May be a sway bar or a stabilizer bar etc- that did absolutely nothing to fix it. I’ve had the entire suspension replaced and it still does it constantly when driving over bumps in the road -specifically when the front right tire goes over a bump, around the 30+ mph. The entire front end of the Jeep jumps all over the road, the steering wheel shakes violently back and forth and you lose control of the vehicle. It’s terrifying when it happens, especially on the freeway. My two teenagers have both experienced this while driving and they were terrified trying to control it, had no idea what to do and almost lost control of the car because of how violently this one shakes. They both are anxious about driving the vehicle all together. I purchased this new and it started right away. Took it to the dealer and they new exactly what I was talking about but had no idea how to fix it. There is no warning, it’s just happens suddenly amen going over a bump in the road. It’s SO SCARY!

I was driving my wife's vehicle at the time of this incident. While driving at highway speeds (55+ mph) I went over a cracked/uneven section of the roadway. The steering column began to vibrate and jump in my hands. The front wheels were rattling and bouncing, making it difficult to control the steering path of the vehicle. It was only after slowing down the speed of the vehicle that the rattling / jumping of the steering column stopped. The uneven section of road I had gone over hadn't been that severe enough, I thought, to cause any damage. I drive over that same route several times a week and it was no different than before, other than I was driving the Jeep. I asked my wife if this had ever happened to her before. She said it had, but it stopped and she thought it may just be a wearing or broken steel belted radial tire. We were getting the tires replaced soon. After getting new tires, the problem is persisting. The mechanic did not find any damaged wheels or tires, the steering didn't appear loose or damaged. After checking this site for vehicle recalls, but finding none, I was perplexed. After conducting further research I found out about the "Death Wobble" and FCA's Customer Satisfaction Notification V41 Steering Damper fix.

TRAVELING ON AN INTERSTATE AT 65 MPH AND WENT ACROSS THE METAL STRIP JUST BEFORE A BRIDGE. THE FRONT WHEELS STARTED WOBBLING VIOLENTLY AND THE STEERING WHEEL SHOOK BAD AS WELL. THIS HAPPENED TWO MORE TIMES THIS TRIP AT THE SAME TYPE OF SITUATION. THE SECOND TIME I TRIED TO SLOW DOWN TO GET THE JEEP TO STOP WOBBLING BUT AN 18 WHEELER WAS DIRECTLY BEHIND ME AND ALMOST RAN UP THE REAR OF MY VEHICLE. I HAD THREE MISHAPS ALL THE SAME ON THIS TRIP. I USE THE JEEP AROUND TOWN, BUT WON'T DRIVE IT AT HIGH SPEEDS. I HAD THE DAMPER REPLACED IN THE JEEP THREE DAYS PRIOR TO THIS TRIP. THIS IS THE PART THAT FCA SAYS CAUSES THE PROBLEM. I HAVE ANOTHER APPOINTMENT NEXT WEEK TO HAVE THE JEEP CHECKED OUT. THE DATE THIS HAPPENED TO ME WAS NOV. 8TH, 2019. BEING A FIRST TIME OWNER OF A JEEP, I THINK I SHOULD HAVE BEEN MADE AWARE OF THIS PROBLEM WHEN I BOUGHT THE JEEP FROM THE DEALER.

SEVERAL TIMES WHEN DRIVING AT APPROX. 65-70 MILES PER HOUR ON THE FREEWAY, I EXPERIENCED THE "DEATH WOBBLE" A VIOLENT SHAKING OF THE FRONT END OF THE JEEP INCLUDING THE WHEELS, FRONT END, STEERING WHEEL AND DASHBOARD ETC. THE ONLY WAY TO STOP IT IS TO SLOW TO ABOUT 50 MPH OR LESS. THIS OCCURS WHEN GOING ACROSS A SEPARATION ON A FREEWAY OR OVER A BUMP IN THE ROADWAY. THIS FIRST OCCURRED WITH ABOUT 3025 MILES ON THE NEW JEEP. IT ALWAYS HAPPENS ON THE HIGHWAY AS THERE MUST BE SPEED OVER 65-70 FOR IT TO OCCUR. IT WAS VERY DANGEROUS AND FRIGHTENING TO HAVE TO DECELERATE IN THE FAST LANE OF TRAFFIC ON THE WORST AND MOST DANGEROUS FREEWAY IN AMERICA, THE 91 THROUGH CORONA AND RIVERSIDE, CA. VERY VERY DANGEROUS AND I AM FORTUNATE I DID NOT CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. I HAVE A SHORT VIDEO SHOWING ONE EPISODE WHEN I WAS ALREADY CONSIDERABLY SLOWED.

WHEN HITTING A BUMP - I.E. BRIDGE EXPANSION JOINT - AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS THE VEHICLE'S FRONT WHEELS WENT INTO A SEVERE WOBBLE WHEN REQUIRED AN IMMEDIATE DECELERATION TO ALLEVIATE. NUMEROUS INSTANCES. QUITE SCARY IN HEAVY TRAFFIC, EVEN FOR AN EXPERIENCED DRIVER AND A FORMER GENERAL MANAGER OF A FIVE-STAR CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP!! EXTENSIVE RESEARCH FOUND A NUMBER OF PEOPLE HAVING THIS PROBLEM, YET NO RECALL OR "FIX" FROM FCA HAS EVIDENTLY BEEN FOUND. IN PREVIOUS RESPONSES FROM CORPORATE THEY INDICATE THAT IT IS NOT A SAFETY ISSUE AND I MUST VEHEMENTLY DISAGREE. THE COMMON TERM USED IS "DEATH WOBBLE"!! DO WE NEED TO WAIT UNTIL AN INEXPERIENCED DRIVER OR INNOCENT FELLOW TRAVELER BECOMES A VICTIM?. MY JEEP IS IN THE SHOP NOW AWAITING SOME SORT OF DISPOSITION.

I PURCHASED MY 2018 JEEP WRANGLER UNLIMITED JL IN JUNE OF 2018. WITHIN THE FIRST MONTH OF HAVING THE VEHICLE THE PROBLEMS BEGAN. I INITIALLY HAD WINDSHIELD SEALS THAT WERE MISSING SO THE JEEP WOULD FILL UP WITH WATER FROM BEHIND THE DASHBOARD. THE DEALERSHIP SAID THEY "FIXED THE PROBLEM" AND THEN MY WINDSHIELD CRACKED BECAUSE THEY DIDN'T INSTALL PROPERLY, NOW IT IS LEAKING AGAIN BEHIND THE STEERING WHEEL. THIS WILL BE MY 3RD VISIT TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR THIS PROBLEM. THEN THE "DEATH WOBBLE" BEGAN AROUND 8/9,000 MILES, ALMOST CAUSING MULTIPLE ACCIDENTS. MY VEHICLE HAS BEEN IN TWO DEALERSHIPS SINCE OCTOBER 2018 TRYING TO FIX ALL OF THE ISSUES OCCURRING. THE JEEP IS BEING SENT TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR THE 5TH TIME ON APRIL 10, 2019 FOR ONGOING STEERING ISSUES. THE DAMPER (RECALL) IN THE VEHICLE WAS REPLACED 4 TIMES WITHOUT SUCCESS AND THE STEERING CONTINUES TO WORSEN. KEEP IN MIND, THE DAMPER RECALL FIX WAS ONLY AVAILABLE AT MY DEALERSHIP IN JANUARY OF 2019. I NOW HAVE 18,000 MILES ON THE VEHICLE, LOOSE AND WOBBLING STEERING, CAN'T MAINTAIN A LANE WHILE DRIVING, VIBRATION AND WOBBLING WHILE BREAKING, THE EMERGENCY BREAK IS NO LONGER ENGAGING (MANUAL TRANSMISSION), AND JUST PUT IN A COMPLAINT WITH JEEP A FEW WEEKS AGO AFTER LITTLE SUCCESS WITH THE DEALERSHIP. JEEP IS TELLING ME THAT MY UNSAFE, UNSTABLE VEHICLE HAS TOO MANY MILES ON IT TO BUYBACK. I HAVE HAD THE VEHICLE FOR LESS THAN 10 MONTHS AND HAVE NEVER HAD THIS MANY ISSUES WITH ANY OF MY OTHER VEHICLES IN MY LIFE. THE VEHICLE WILL BE GOING BACK TO THE ORIGINAL DEALERSHIP I PURCHASED IT FROM FOR THE 5TH TIME FOR STEERING ISSUES AND 3RD TIME FOR THE WINDSHIELD SEALS, ALONG WITH MANY OTHER ISSUES. I NO LONGER FEEL SAFE IN MY OWN VEHICLE IN WHICH I AM PAYING A HIGH PRICE FOR EVERY MONTH.

IF I RUN OVER A BRIDGE EXPANSION JOINT OR BUMP IN THE ROAD AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS THE FRONT SUSPENSION WILL START SHAKING AND MY STEERING WHEEL WILL FEEL COMPLETELY LOOSE. SOMETIMES IT CORRECTS ITSELF AND OTHER TIMES IT IS SUCH A VIOLENT SHAKE YOU HAVE TO REDUCE YOUR SPEED DOWN TO 40 MPH OR LESS UNTIL IT STOPS. ONE INCIDENT WAS WHEN I WAS EXITING THE HIGHWAY AND AS I WAS MERGING IN I HIT A COUPLE OF BUMPS IN THE ROAD. IT STARTED TO SHAKE SO VIOLENTLY THAT I THOUGHT I WAS GOING TO LOOSE CONTROL. THANKFULLY I WAS ONLY DOING 35 TO 40 MPH. IT WAS SO BAD THE PERSON BESIDE ME SLAMMED ON THEIR BRAKES. I HAD TO SLOW DOWN TO 15 MPH BEFORE IT STOPPED. THEN IT WAS LIKE NOTHING EVER HAPPENED.
