Hello, Recently my 2010 Jeep Wrangler has developed the infamous death wobble. It is one of the most terrifying things I've ever experienced. Being on the freeway, doing 75, having my vehicle suddenly start shaking and wobbling like it's coming apart at the seams, and having to come to a complete stop in the middle of rush hour traffic, 3 lanes away from the shoulder has given me extreme anxiety! I have read in depth about this issue, I have read that there have been lawsuits and tech bulletins, but never a recall because "nobody has died from this". Believe me, it's only a matter of time, whether it be a heart attack or an accident, it will happen.

Sporatic uncontrollable shaking while driving. Only stops when you slow down to around 20mph. I googled it and it's known as the "death wobble" and is very prevalent problem with jeeps. Dealership says it needs new steering stabilizer. It is very dangerous.

I have what is known as a 'death wobble' at any time my jeep goes into a severe wobble of the front axle and steering. I was in 3rd gear going 30 MPH slowing down for a stop sign, when the jeep went into the 'death wobble'. It is so severe it feels like the front end is going to break apart. The only way to stop this is to take your foot off the gas and put the manual transmission in neutral. My mechanic told me not to ever put your foot on the brake, because that can cause even more damage. My mechanic and I don't understand why jeep doesn't want to address this issue of safety. Jeep just told me that yes they have heard of this complaint but they usually know how to fix it. But it will cost me a lot of money. I feel they should be addressing this issue as what it truly is "a safety issue"
