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.

The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 105,000.

While driving my 2007 jeep wrangler on an interstate going 70 miles per hour the whole jeep shuck violently, apparently this is known as the death wobble. I had no idea why my whole jeep was shaking and thought I jade a flat tire. I immediately pulled to the side of the interstate. I was terrified to continue my trip and I am still afraid to drive it. It is going to the shop on friday. This was a very terrifying experience for me. I love my jeep and this problem should be corrected before people are killed and not after the fact.

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".

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.

Death wobble!!! Death wobble!!! As I was driving down the interstate with heavy traffic, I hit a bump goin 65 MPH and suddenly with out any warning the front end of my jeep started rapidly wobbling back and forth across the road, nearly causing multiple accidents. It startled me severely, I was able to turn on my hazard lights and started to slowly decelerate while trying to steer to the shoulder. It took until I got down to 25mph for it to stop shimmying. I stopped on the shoulder to inspect the front end off the highway, checked my tire pressure, the shocks, axle and all other parts to see what broke. Everything appeared to be normal and I could not find anything that caused the sever wobbling back and forth of the front end, so carried on, very cautiously. This happens quite often, sometimes going as low at 45mph, but only when something in the road knocks it off balance. I do not feel safe in my jeep at all. The jeep dealer tells me there is nothing wrong with the jeep's suspension and I have had several independent mechanics tell me they dont know what to replace inorder to correct the problem that the only thing they have luck with fixing the issue is too replace the entire front-end along with the axle. This is the type of issue that this agency was established to correct. Something has to be done before people are killed due to a major enginnering defect by jeep.

I was driving on interstate at approx 65 MPH. I switched lanes and all of a sudden had this intense shaking initially thinking a tire was going down. I didn't stop until I got down to about 25mph. I did all I could to keep the jeep in the lane. I have read about death wobble...I can't believe this is happening. This is a 2007 jeep wrangler unlimited sahara 4-dr 4x4.

At approximately 50mph if I hit a minor bump in the road my jeep begins to shake violently and control is lost to the vehicle to the point that you must come to a complete stop before regaining control. This is called "death wobble" by online communities and service repairmen. The incident almost caused a collision as I was unable to keep the car in my lane and ran another car into a ditch. Luckily no one was hurt or property damaged.
