“I've experiencing a terrible wobbling when driving on the highway.I only drive back and forward to work. I do not off road at all!! I almost caused an accident the other day coming from work. It was terrible to say the least. I'm really afraid to use my Jeep and will never let my family it... Please advise what I can do to get it fix . I've taking it to the dealer several times already with no results.”
NHTSA complaint #11390813, filed 2021-01, 99,000 miles“The on going death wobble issue. This last incident , I was coming home from work on the florida turnpike doing about 60 MPH and it happened again and I lost total control of the Jeep and almost got hit by an 18 wheeler... Luckily I managed to cut to my right before he hit me.”
NHTSA complaint #11405332, filed 2021-03, 99,000 miles“Death wobble. Any time a bump is hit with the Jeep above 35mph, it goes into the death wobble, which doesn't go away until the car is stopped. I've tried fixing everything possible, but it still happens. I understand this is a common problem, but it certainly seems life-threatening, as the Jeep feels like it is going to break into pieces!”
NHTSA complaint #10875383, filed 2016-06, 57,000 miles“I experienced the so- called death wobble last night and this morning on my way home from work. I was going just above 40mph. It feels like an unbalanced wheel? If I would leave off the throttle just a bit and keep it smooth at 40 MPH it would go away. I couldn't imagine the other owners who were going much faster what they must have experienced. This needs fixed and I will be at the dealership expressing my concerns. I hope no one gets hurt by this !”
NHTSA complaint #10693185, filed 2015-03, 46,000 miles“Driving on the highway my Jeep all of a sudden went out of control, I could not control the steering wheel and I was all over the road. I crossed out of control over 2 lanes on the highway, making other cars swerve to get out of my way!”
