“On 7/9/16 and 7/19/16, I was driving on i95 and my car started the death wobble - uncontrollable intense shaking that I almost got into an accident. The only thing that stops, I discovered recently, it is to slow down to a stop, which is pretty difficult on a highway without getting rear ended or into an accident. This apparently is common among jeeps, especially wranglers, but it should be fixed by chrysler. This is really dangerous!!”

“I have a 2010 Jeep Wrangler sahara unlimited with 62k on it. I first noticed a jar and shaking after hitting a bump a few months ago and didn't think anything of this, until tonight!y Jeep is completely stock. I was coming home from work and hit a bump on the highway and my whole entire front end completely shook where I could barely control the vehicle. I had to slow down but was scared to death because there was a semi behind me, when I slowed down it didn't do it anymore! …”

NHTSA complaint #10694741, filed 2015-03, 64,000 miles

“This has happened multiple times, while driving at a higher rater of speed (anything above 45mph) and going around a curve, the front end begins to violently shake to the point that it is difficult/impossible to control and you must pull off to the side of the road. Aka the death wobble. There was not a pot hole, or anything in the way, just a regular road. I have had to do this on several occasions and on busy highways, nearly causing an accident and being rear ended since I had to stop suddenly and pull off the road. …”

NHTSA complaint #10572776, filed 2014-03, 58,000 miles

“Yesterday while traveling with my 2 young grandchildren, I experienced something known as death wobble , a violent vibration in the front end. It happened 3 times yesterday and twice today. All times I was traveling on a freeway at around 55 MPH. It began to wobble as I entered a curve in the road. I was lucky enough to be able to slow and pull to the shoulder each time. The only way to make it stop is to stop the vehicle. I'm especially concerned because this also happened to my 2007 Wrangler. Why has Jeep not fixed this problem? It's both terrifying and expensive to fix. …”

NHTSA complaint #10861130, filed 2016-04, 119,000 miles

“While driving at 65 MPH, my Jeep started shaking uncontrollably and violently. I had no control in the car, the only thing I could do was push the brakes. I pulled my 6 speed Jeep into neutral and started slowing down and letting it glide to the side of the road. Still shaking as I am slowing down, the Jeep feels like the whole front end is going to shake apart. All cars behind me slammed on their brakes because they saw I had no control of my Jeep. A state police trooper followed me to the dealership. There is no broken axles, loose tires, tire pressure is good. …”
