2013 Jeep Wrangler steering problems

Filed Apr 29, 2026 · Steering · TN

My 2013 RHD jeep wrangler is showing codes B1B02 and B1B06. I took it to jason lewis automotive in sparta tn yesterday. The airbag light is on and the horn does not work. These are the exact same failures identified in safety recall s40. The previous owner of my car got this done in 2021 but the remedy has failed and the safety risk is back. They confirmed that the clockspring is bad and needs replacing. The confirmed the codes and it matches the s40 recall.

I'm experiencing the death wobble and I wanted to see if there's a way it can be fix or if a recall is out for this.

Soon after I purchased my unmodified 2013 jeep wrangler (as new) I began to experience extreme front suspension vibration (death wobble) when encountering a bump in the road while traveling at 40-60 MPH. Now, 6 years later I have experienced the issue hundreds of times and have spent countless thousands of dollars attempting to fix it, to no avail.

When vehicle hits a bump, it vibrates so driver is unable to control vehicle until it is brought to a complete stop. Investigation online points to "death wobble" as described by other jeep owners. Happens on both city streets and highway. Took to local jeep dealership, replaced ball joints, happened again a week later. Called dealership again, they don't seem to have an answer for us. Literally afraid to drive vehicle without a definite fix or answer.

All power was lost while driving down the freeway at 65 MPH. Lost power steering and the engine died. There was no warning that there was a problem. This could have been a serious accident. Found other instances of this happening on the internet: http://www.carproblemzoo.com/jeep/wrangler/2013/engine-shut-off-without-warning-problems.php

While driving at highway speeds, ranging from 50-65 MPH, if I take a turn that has a bump or am on a straightaway and hit a bump the entire car starts to violently shake, the steering wheel jerks left and right and it feel like the front tires are fishtailing. The only way to stop this violent oscillation is to slow the car down to under 45 MPH which can be extremely difficult to do on the highway. I have talked with a couple of mechanics and a jeep dealership and no one seems to know what could be causing the "death wobble". This happens randomly and without warning so I do not recall when it last happened. Therefore, I am choosing today's date in order to complete the form. I am also unsure of the exact mileage on my car when this happened since it has happened multiple times since I bought the car in 2013. I entered the approximate number of miles on the car when I remember the death wobble first occurring.

Driving on highway and the engine shut off for no apparent reason. When the engine is off there is a loss of power steering etc. This has happened several times. Starting at about 32,000 miles. The dealership has tried to fix it but the vehicle still has this problem.
