Filed Nov 19, 2018 · Steering · 136,000 miles · CA

At about 50 to 70 MPH, there is a violent shaking. I've looked it up and may have referred to it a 'desth wobble' extremely terrifying and you have to suddenly slow down in heavy traffic which could cause an accident. Also. Onlookers can get distracted due to the shaking and haven an accident as well. It feels like extreme turbulence. This has occurred at least 5 times.

Death wobble at high speeds feels like jeep is falling apart

While driving and the vehicle hits roughly 55 MPH the vehicle starts shaking violently. The steering wheel nearly snatches out of my hand in a violent matter. The vehicle feels as though it is about to crash. I have to slam on breaks, hoping no one is behind me, to slow the vehicle to stop the violent shaking. The shaking is known as the "death wobble".

While driving at a slow to moderate speed, the front end shakes uncontrollably and you can't control the steering. This happens driving slow, or at 60 MPH, straight-a-ways or curves. The only way to get it stopped is to apply the brakes and come to a stop. This jeep has not been lifted, it has the same parts on it as what was on it when purchased and I was told nothing was done to it. This is extremely dangers and scary for the driver.

I have filled a previous complaint but the problem has not been corrected I have had 2 steering dampers replaced by jeep in the past, now they are acknowledging the defect but not offering any knowledge of how to fix the death wobble ( violent shaking and loss of control of vehicle) this is still happening with only 50,000 miles on my car, we like the jeep but we are afraid to drive it much or take on road trip this is my only vehicle I am a single mom I can not afford to have the steering components replaced at my cost so I am forced to drive a car that is unsafe for me and my daughter , my wrangler has a bad name due to so many people experiencing this it is unsellable. Im stuck with a very dangerous jeep! This has gone on too long why are you not forcing a recall are you waiting for deaths due to this.

The front end began an uncontrollable wobble at about 55 miles per hour. The only way to stop it was to gradually slow down to a stop. There was no apparent reason for it to began. I did not hit anything. The road I was traveling was an improved smooth paved road. The car could not be controlled.

I am experiencing what has become known as jeep wobble and even has been called death wobble. Driving at speeds over 50 MPH the vehicle begins to wobble uncontrollably and will not stop until speeds go below 20 MPH. This occurs at times without unstable road conditions and it is almost always occurring when crossing a bridge or any where that the road surface changes. Jeep has replaced the steering stabilizer and dampener three times with no success and replaced the shocks as well.
