Takata recall....while driving about 68 MPH on an interstate overpass today, my jeep went into the dreaded "death wobble". It was horrifying...I lost control of the vehicle and thought I would fall over the overpass. There was no warning, no bumps or pot holes. This is the scariest thing I've ever experienced on the road. It felt like 4 blow-outs simultaneously. I cannot believe there is no recall on such a dangerous issue.

Just as all the other 2007 jeep wranglers my clockspring has gone bad and my airbags and horn malfunction constantly. I filed a reports years ago but that seems to have been removed. I see that the 2008 jeep wranglers had this recalled, but 2007 jeeps were not good enough. Guess our lives and the lives of our families don't mean squat.
Violent front end shake at 50 MPH
Fuel over flows when filling up. Jeep shakes violently at random times. Air bag lights up and dings at random times
My 2007 jeep jku sahara will completely shut down and stall at any given time while I am driving at any speed. The wipers and horn will go off even when in the "off" position, followed by the engine stalling. My wheels will lock up and I cannot give the vehicle gas. I can only brake and slightly turn off to the side of the road. This is extremely dangerous because there is no telling when it will happen. Recall for tipm has already been "reprogrammed" and apparently there are no power modules available. The dealership told me that if a certain code does not pop up, that I will have to replace everything on my own. Well, how am I suppose to do that when there are no power modules available? This problem needs to be fixed asap.
As I was driving on the highway, reaching speeds of approximately 60mph, I hit a rough patch in the road and the jeep begin to shake back and forth very forcefully, pulling to the right. Once I let off the gas and the jeep slowed down to approx. 40mph, it finally stopped. Every time I hit a rough patch it will shake violently. My husband and I have named this "the death wobble".
We hit a bad patch in the road, and the jeep began to shake violently. My husband took his foot off the accelerator and let it slow down on it's own, I pushed the hazard lights, and we carefully moved into the emergency lane. We examined the tires and undercarriage not knowing what had happened. We thought maybe our shocks needed replacing which we subsequently did. This issue has occurred twice since. Again, the vehicle shakes violently and is very difficult to manage. We simply let the vehicle slow (without hitting brakes) and eventually, it comes back under control. Honestly, I am very uncomfortable in the vehicle at this point if we are on rough roads.
Vehicle goes into a very bad shaking and wobble of the front suspension, typically at highway speeds and after passing over a bump in the road, frequently even a very small bump. The only way to stop the rattle/wobble after it begins, is to come to a complete stop. I have had several repair shops examine it, alignment checked, tires replaced, suspension parts replaced.
