Hi.. My Jeep has the death wobble and that my Jeep is not included in the recall due ; according to the Jeep dealership. The recall has expired for my 2009 Jeep Wrangler. My kids and grand was in the car when my Jeep after hitting a bump started shaking in the middle of the highway. Please help me. I would get it fix on my own, but I can not afford it and this should not happen when it's a known issue and a safety issue. I can be reached at [XXX].

Experienceing the well known death wobble in front suspension at speeds around 50 MPH. Have tried multiple fixes yet condition still remains. Also will go into death wobble at other speeds if hit a pothole or bridge to road gap, hump or bump in road. This jeep has no custom modifications. 2009 jeep wrangler with only 26000 miles, new tires, have experienced this death wobble shortly after purchasing it new from the dealer. I also own ram trucks and fixed the death wobble on my 2005 ram with new track bar bushings. Bushings in my 2009 jeep show no play at all.

I have a 2009 jeep wrangler unlimited x, purchased new. A few years after purchase I began experiencing 'death wobble.' a mechanic's diagnostic stated my track bar was bent and my bushings were worn and needed replacing as a result of all the violent side to side shaking. This was repaired at great expense out of pocket. This repair seemed effective for some time before the speed wobble started up again this past year. During one episode, the harsh shaking caused my left side blinkers and brake light to fail. No one should reasonably be expected to operate a vehicle when it has the potential to suddenly, unexpectedly, uncontrollably, violently, harshly, and dangerously start shaking, especially while in operation at highway speeds. I avoid driving on the highway anymore because I can't keep up with the flow of traffic before jarring shaking will start. Any driving is now increasingly dangerous to me, my passengers, and other nearby drivers. The uncontrollably violent shaking is difficult to control, frightening, and forces me to abruptly pull over, greatly increasing my chances of being severely injured or even killed in an accident. It is not right for jeep owners to suffer this. This is a known issue for jeep. They should be liable for and reimburse jeep owners any and all costs associated with repairs, alternate transportation, injuries, deaths, distress, or any other conditions or complications arising from, related to, or otherwise resulting from 'death wobble.' causes for this hazard vary, so diagnostics and repairs can be extremely lengthy and costly, not to mention repairs needed for other areas of the vehicle worn and damaged as a result of such aggressively unsafe shaking. This is not standard wear and tear, but a serious, dangerous and potentially deadly issue that should be addressed and corrected by the federal safety agency, the center for auto safety, lawyers, and courts.

Tl* the contact owns a 2009 jeep wrangler. While driving down a hill on a bridge, the front end of the vehicle started to wobble rapidly and experienced the "death wobble". The same failure recurred two weeks later as the front end started to wobble again going down a hill. The contact stated that two lug nuts detached from the front passenger side tire due to the vibrations from the "death wobble". The contact researched the failure on the internet and called an independent mechanic. It was diagnosed that a shock in the front end rods or steering dampener caused the failure. The vehicle was repaired. An unknown dealer stated that there was no recall for the failure. The failure mileage was 102,600.*dt

While driving at highway speeds and upon hitting rough road conditions the front on the jeep begins to shake uncontrollably. You must slow or come to a stop to make it go away. This has happened four times to me. It is by far the most terrifying thing that has ever happened to me in 50 years of driving. The dealer has told me it was worn dampeners and replaced them. Of course this did not happen for the first 50k miles, so I must wait until the conditions appear again to see if the problem is solved.
