When driving at 40 MPH or faster the car will hit a bump and start shaking violently to the point where loss of control could occur. Could possibly be just the tires, but seems a lot of earlier jk wranglers suffer from this.

I've experienced the occurrence known as the "jeep death wobble" twice now since buying this jeep last year. Both happened while driving approx. 50mph on highway.

Purchased a 2007 jeep wrangler less than a couple years ago with around 53k miles. I have just start experiencing what is known as death wobble, in the middle of my trip from colorado to virginia and the jeep has been shaking violently at random intervals on the highway. This is known as I seen over 200 complaints online and chrysler refuses to take responsibility and recall these jeeps . I am taking to dealer but I won't stop until chrysler reimburses for these repairs and want other people included the government to look into this. Someone is going to get hurt this is not right this needs to be addressed.

Vehicle is exhibiting an unsafe speed wobble while driving above 40 MPH, vehicle only has 50k miles, I already had all of the suspension components replaced and the condition remains, chrysler/jeep as a manufacturer should come up with a repair whether it is covered by manufacturer or by customer paid, there should be a proper repair for the problem, this condition could potentially cause an accident and injury

Within a couple weeks of driving I was on the interstate at about 65 MPH and hit a small bridge bump, the steering wheel started shaking violently. I had to pull over. I brought it to the dealership and they said they fixed it. The shaking was still there just not as violent. In the past 7 years I have brought it to the dealership 4 times for the same problem. They say they fixed it and the same thing happened. After the warranty ran out they charged me over $3,000.00 to fix it. Again got a little better for awhile, the shaking wasn't as bad. Then it happened again. I brought it back they said there was nothing wrong with it. I had someone take a video on the interstate after I hit a bridge bump showing violent shaking and dangerous control. I showed the dealership the problem they said they have seen it before and told me to call chrysler. I called them they said they never heard of that problem but would get back to me in a week. Two weeks went by so I called them and they said there was nothing they could do and bring it back to the dealership which told me to call them. I am driving a death trap on the interstate and no one will identify and fix the problem. Updated 01/12/16*lj the consumer stated no one could explain why the tires were chopped, when all the suspension and steering components checked out fine. Updated 01.19.16.*jb

While traveling down a 35 MPH county road, I went into a small turn and my jeep started violently shaking to the point that I could not control the steering. I have researched this on the web and have seen it often called "death wobble". I managed to pull over into a church parking lot and decided to turn around and take it back home. Once I got going, the steering wheel again began violently shaking and again I had no control of the vehicle. I called my husband to come get me because I was not driving this vehicle anymore like this. He crawled under the jeep and noticed the welds of the steering stabilizer bracket had completely broken off from the front axle. This is the second time this has happened. On oct 11, 2011, I lost control of the jeep and ran off the road into a ditch. There was $4000 worth of damage including replacement of the front axle because the steering stabilizer bracket had separated from the axle! I have no doubt in my mind because of the occurrence of this second incident that the first accident was at no fault of my own but instead a manufacturer flaw in the design of this bracket!

After driving (between 45 MPH and 55 MPH) over a series of small bumps in the road (paved highway), I experienced (and am now continuing to experience, on a more frequent basis) a very dramatic, violent, terrifying, and nearly uncontrollable shaking of my entire vehicle (2007 jeep wrangler) which I have recently learned online (from reading countless reports from other jeep wrangler drivers experiencing the same terrifying event) is being called the dreaded jeep "death wobble" (appropriately named as one rightly feels as though the driver of and passengers within vehicle could possibly suffer a tragic and life-ending accident resulting from this obvious very serious vehicle malfunction). As a loyal jeep customer and owner over the past 3 decades (having my vehicles regularly serviced as recommended at their authorized chrysler/jeep locations), I immediately reported this matter to chrysler/jeep corporation and after asking if a recall has been issued, was told "no" and that none was being considered. In absolute amazement (and disgust), I advised chrysler/jeep that such inaction by chrysler/jeep would not only place its vehicle owners at great personal risk (accident and possibly even death from resulting accidents), but could also subject chrysler/jeep to legal action such as class action suits being filed nationwide by each state's attorneys general's offices. Please kindly fully investigate and take immediate corrective action to require chrysler/jeep to fully address and correct this unsafe, terrifying (and possibly even life-threatening) matter. Thank you.

Jeep performs death wobble at 50-60 MPH. Numerous trips and $$ to mechanics (plural) over end of 2012-present with no fix. This is wrong. Chrysler needs to buck up and fix it before it kills.
