“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“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!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! …”
NHTSA complaint #11173008, filed 2019-01, 135,000 miles“Vehicle suffers extreme shaking and wobbling at speeds above 40 MPH, becomes particularly worse on lane changes and curved roads. Happens whether the surface is wet or dry. The problem is intermittent; meaning, it does not happen all the time, but is particularly worse in mornings when vehicle is cold or has not been driven overnight. The violent shaking makes vehicle nearly impossible to steer or maintain in lane, particularly dangerous on the highway. This is an extremely dangerous condition that requires immediate attention from chrysler/Jeep.”
NHTSA complaint #10396295, filed 2011-03“My 2007 Jeep unlimited sahara has the death wobble. Occurred several months ago. Mechanic couldn't figure it out, but prescribed tire inflation. Problem went away until one week ago. Can be easily replicated by going over a speed bump at about 25 MPH and turning the wheel to the left sharply. Alternatively, just traveling above 40-45 MPH on a highway, especially on a curve, will replicate. If any other Jeep driver has this problem, the only way to protect yourself is to brake slowly, get off the road and drive under 40 MPH...and much slower while turning even on side streets. …”
