While driving steering wheel and front of car is shakes/wobbles violently

Filed Jul 13, 2016 · Steering, Suspension · MN

My jeep violently shakes when I'm driving speeds of 50+ and it is very dangerous because as we all know highways and freeways are speeds between 55 and 70 and I cannot drive over 50. The other day it started to shake so bad that I had to pull over and almost hit the cement guard rail. I have to transport my grandchildren from time to time and god forbid anything happen to them chrysler will be responsible. I have done research and this issue is called the death wobble and is the perfect name for it. They need to do a recall on this issue before someone gets killed. Please make chrysler do the right thing and fix this problem.

Out of know where the engine just started knocking, and the smell of gas and the steering wheel started acting out of control. I had to park it and get another car. But I still have it because I really like my jeep!

Within the last 6 months my jeep's engine has shut off" while driving" at various speeds 5 different times but not exceeding 60mph. Four of the six times I was able to shift into neutral and restart the engine, two times I had to wait approximately 5 minutes before it would restart. The incident at 60mph happened on a 4 lane highway and luckily I was close to the shoulder when it shut off and I was able to get it off the road before the steering locked up and no one was hurt. The computer never registers any problem and my mechanic has stated that it could be numerous issues but nothing for sure. To the best of my knowledge jeep has never issued a warning or recall for this issue. This is extremely dangerous and an accident just waiting to happen.

Four times in the last year, the vehicle when traveling over 50mph, develops what online research describes as "death wobble". The steering wheel vibrates suddenly in your hands, the front end wobbles and it is difficult to control. Slowing down below 50mph usually resolves the issue...but that is an unacceptable solution. Seems to happen when the vehicle is warmed up and has traveled 20+ miles. A major national tv channel has produced a news article about this with film of the vehicle during the "death wobble". We believe that congress has asked jeep about this issue previously. The jeep company in our town suggested rotating tires and checking brakes. They claim to have never heard of this issue, however there are lots of online complaints. In addition to lots of complaints, there's been lots of money spent on lots of parts and labor to fix the issue. Everyone seems to have a different opinion as to what the problem and solution are. Even though there are only 45000 miles on the vehicle, it cannot be trusted to provide a safe journey. We are disappointed with the company and vehicle. Hoping for a recall soon! (on a side note, a neighbor of ours has also experienced this same issue with his jeep. If we are aware of 2 people with the same issue, it has to be a major issue with the vehicle.) please help. Thanks.
