“As far as I can tell, I am not the only one with the death wobble. While driving on the interstate about 65 MPH, I crossed over a bridge and when my front tires got to the edge of the bridge on I-65, my Jeep began shaking almost uncontrollably. This has happened at 5 times now in the last year and I assumed it was tire, shock, or alignment issues. New tires and shocks and front end aligned. Nothing different!”
NHTSA complaint #10505385, filed 2013-04, 92,000 miles“My 2007 Jeep wrangler 2 door developed a violent shake when I would hit a bump or go over railroad tracks at speeds around 15 MPH to 25 MPH. The steering wheel would jerk left and right, almost to the point that I could not maintain control of the steering wheel or the vehicle. I could feel the front wheel shaking back and forth. The only way to stop it would be to bring the vehicle to a complete stop. …”
NHTSA complaint #10389792, filed 2011-03, 22,000 miles“The power steering pump has failed 4 times. The vehicle is now 21 months old with 19,000 miles. This has become a safety hazard as I was in philadelphia twice when it failed on a weekend and had to travel over 100 miles to get the Jeep home. Somebody is going to get hurt or cause an accident. If this happened to a women I hate to see what would happen since it makes it very difficult to control the vehicle.”

I have just start experiencing what is known as death wobble, in the middle of my trip from colorado to virginia and the Jeep has been shaking violently at random intervals on the highway. This is known as I seen over 200 complaints online and chrysler refuses to take responsibility and recall these jeeps . I am taking to dealer but I won't stop until chrysler reimburses for these repairs and want other people included the government to look into this. …”
NHTSA complaint #10924536, filed 2016-11, 57,000 miles“Within a couple weeks of driving I was on the interstate at about 65 MPH and hit a small bridge bump, the steering wheel started shaking violently. I had to pull over. I brought it to the dealership and they said they fixed it. The shaking was still there just not as violent. In the past 7 years I have brought it to the dealership 4 times for the same problem. They say they fixed it and the same thing happened. After the warranty ran out they charged me over $3,000.00 to fix it. Again got a little better for awhile, the shaking wasn't as bad. Then it happened again. …”
