Death wobble. Dealership that has it now (Campbell Chevorlet in Bowing green ky) knows and fails to fix or report it.

ABS sensor has failed at 35,000 miles and has left me without antilock brakes which impairs the braking ability of my vehicle in emergency situations. This needs to be issued as a recall.

When it first started, I would have to be going at minimum 55-60 mph. But it got so bad to the point that I would be going 15-20 mph and out of nowhere my vehicle would start violently shaking and my steering wheel would jerk side to side. The ONLY way to get it to stop would be to completely let off the pedals and let it come to a complete stop by itself. Hitting the brakes could cause it to flip. Having to come to a stop, regardless of the location could cause a serious accident or pile up. Trying to control the steering wheel when this is occurring could cause an accident as well. This is not something that happens here and there. This incident is so frequent that there are websites that try to warn and help others bc it happens so after. Its cost me $4000 trying to fix it. Please look into this and help us resolve this issue before it costs someone their dad or mom or brother or sister, or someone their child or grandchild. Thank you for your time. It is greatly appreciated.

I have numerous warning lights all on at the same time and constantly chiming as I drive. These are the following lights that are all on: check engine, air bag, ABS, brake, and traction control. I have read past communication which addresses problems. I truly believe none of these issues were addressed prior to my purchase in 2020.

With less than 30,000 miles, this car developed a "death wobble." At unpredictable moments, the whole car will start shaking and it is nearly impossible to control the steering wheel. Until you slow down to almost a stop, the shaking continues indefinitely. I've since discovered that this a known problem with Jeeps, but Jeep refuses to contribute a penny to fixing it.

When driving at Interstate Speeds (65-70), and any roadway imperfections (uneven pavement, pot holes, broken pavement) are hit, the vehicle will start to violently shake, will feel like you'll lose control and sometimes the vehicle fishtails. I did Google Searches on this to see if other Jeep Owners were having similar problems, and found many instances for this model year. They referred to this as the "death wobble". I took mine into the dealership and they did over $1000 worth of work to it, and it has helped it some. Not sure that it is completely fixed.

Defective bearing in rocker arm leading to engine failure. It is a common problem with the engine on these vehicles. When engine failure occurs, there is loss of power steering, propulsion, and difficult braking.

My steering wheel controls are no longer working. This includes the horn, channel and volume control. They will work when the steering wheel is turned 45deg from top dead center. My research shows that this issue is caused by the "clock" spring assembly behind the air bag. Jeep currently has a recall out for rhd wranglers and their clock spring assembly. I believe there are also issues with the lhd (left hand drive) models as well. I am taking this to the dealer in the morning. Note the problem occurs when the vehicle is in motion or not.

All buttons except cruise control on the steering wheel have quit working. The horn won't work either. When it quit working the volume buttons started acting up then it all just quit at once. I'm sure if all that has stopped working then the air bag won't either. I believe it's the clock spring causing all this chaos.

When I am on the highway and I'm going at faster speed then on the city street there is a wobble and my truck feels as if it is going to flip over or something. Also when I am on the city streets and drive over and uneven pavement I get the same wobble or sometimes it feels as if my truck is being lifted off the ground.
