After about 2700 miles on the odometer our stock jeep wrangler unlimited rubicon with no aftermarket parts started to have very poor steering, and was hard to keep in our lane. It also started to have the steering wheel shake back and forth fast when hitting an expansion join in the road or a bridge. The jeep is now difficult to keep in our lane, and is very difficult to drive on narrow, windy or roads with construction. We were almost in multiple accidents once this started on a road trip. This issue gets worse and worse with speed. You can grab the tie rods ends and track bar and other steering components and they all now have like 1/8 in of play at each end. You can easily shake them up and down / back and forth. This was not an issue for the first 2500 or so miles. This is a very dangerous situation as at times you have to slow down very fast due to the steering wheel shaking. Also, it veers from side to side due to the loose steering where you can move the steering wheel over 1 1/2 inches without the tires moving at all. I have videos of all these issues occurring, and you can also see the steering components moving when the steering wheel is turned before the play is out and the wheels move. We are now scared to drive our vehicle due to our safety and the safety of others on the road.
2019 Jeep Wrangler suspension complaints

Stealing unstable wobble on highway speeds. Danger due to need to rapidly slow down in traffic to correct situation.
In december, on two different occasions, I experienced what I have come to find out is known as the 'death wobble' in my new wrangler jl. After going over a series of small bumps on a highway at 65-70mph, my jeep went into a violent shaking episode. I actually thought one of the wheels was coming off. The dealership said that this could be repaired by replacing the stabilizer bar with a heavier duty one. They did the repair. On friday of last week, I had 6 episodes of the death wobble in one day. The dealer is taking my jeep back in tomorrow to look at it again. This might be the scariest thing I have experienced in my 30+ years of driving.
Vehicle has been at dealer since october with what I have found by research to be called a "death wobble" the vehicle shakes uncontrollable around corner and over bumps and cannot be driven. I have contacted jeep customer service several times per week since this has started with zero resolution. I attached service records of what they have tried to fix and hasnt worked. I need help.
