“Jeep death wobble in my 2007 Jeep wrangler. No rhyme or reason, car will begin to violently shake between 45 - 65 MPH. I have to completely stop and pull car to side of road in order to make this stop. Incredibly scary and dangerous. Have gone to to dealership and everyone has a different opinion all of which are unbelievable in cost when it comes to safety.”
NHTSA complaint #10954312, filed 2017-02, 75,000 miles“I almost had fatal crash with my children because of 'death wobble'. It's not funny & Jeep needs to be sued for refusing to address this issue! Over 50 times when traveling 65 MPH the vehicles shakes uncontrollably forcing me to come to a complete stop on the highway. Why are they allowed to get away with this!!!”
NHTSA complaint #10899160, filed 2016-08, 165,000 miles“I have a 2007 Jeep sahara 4x4, and have had the death wobble over ten times. The dealer said put on after market steering stab, and that did not fix it they put on a new tie rode and that did not fix it, now there saying because I tow my Jeep behind my rv that's what's causing the steering stab to go bad. The dealer is lumpe dodge in visalia california.”
NHTSA complaint #10384762, filed 2011-02, 12,000 miles“While driving on the I-64 hov, I experienced a violent shaking commonly known as the death wobble. It completely scared me. I had to immediately reduce my speed and pull to the shoulder so I didn't cause an accident, as it was during afternoon rush hour traffic. Two days later, the same thing happened, not once, but twice.”
NHTSA complaint #10483871, filed 2012-11, 65,435 miles“My Jeep is experiencing the death wobble . It almost turned over on I-85 outside of atlanta. My daughter was driving at 55mph and there was a small dip in the road. The Jeep began to shake uncontrollably. She could hardly control the steering wheel or the Jeep. We were finally able to slow down enough (almost rear ended twice) and pull over. This is not isolated. We had the Jeep in for repairs before and everything listed for repair of the death wobble replaced. It is doing it again!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! …”
