While driving at approximately 50 MPH the jeep front end and steering started to violently stake and wobble and did not stop until the jeep came to full stop. This happened again a few miles down the road after encountering a small bump in the road. Again this violent wobble did not stop until the jeep came to a complete stop.
2014 Jeep Wrangler suspension complaints
Page 2 of 2: complaints 11 to 15 of 15, newest first, as owners wrote them.
While driving, the vehicle, which was 3 days new to us, exhibited the classic jeep death wobble. The vehicle started to violently shake from side to side and only stopped once the brake was activated. This happened 4 times before the alignment was righted and a part replaced.
I have the "death wobble" happening on my jeep for the last 3 months - but over the last month - it has gotten worse and happens at least twice a day and has gotten so bad that it has pulled my vehicle into the other lane and is sometimes uncontrollable. It eventaully is going to kill me or someone else. The dealership that I deal with is not capable of figuring out why this is doing it and says its normal - but it can not be normal for that kind of incident to happen all the time like that - and they tell me that the only fix is going to be hours of trying to diagnose and parts that could get up into the thousands of dollars - but I have had nothing but problems with this jeep and I don't feel like this should be my expense to have to cover since they know it's been happening - but can't find a fix for it
Making a right hand turn at low speed, vehicle kept turning (drifting) right, attempted to correct to the left with no response, vehicle collided with a barrier post. Jeep sustained significant front suspension damage, right fender and right wheel. At time of estimate, repair shop had found that the steering box had sheared and stated that the impact should not have caused this damage. They are investigating and will know more when they begin tear down.
At approx 50 miles per hour, vehicle breaks into a extremely severe shaking rendering it uncontrollable. Condition happens 2 or 3 times per day. Dealer has reviewed 4 times and replaced components to no avail. Finally telling me to buy new tires. Web research shows this affliction has been named "death wobble" dealers last adjustment of tow in seemed to cure temporarily. Now that it is in the 50 degree range again it happens multiple times daily. If this were to happen on snow or ice, I don't think I could control it at all.
