Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“After hitting a bump in the road my Jeep shook violently. I stopped the Jeep to see if something broke. When I started driving again everything was fine. I had it checked out at Jeep but nothing was found. After months of everything being fine I noticed a shake in the steering wheel. Tires were checked and fine. No one could explain why there was vibration at speeds around 55 MPH. This happened a few times and they could not duplicate. A year later I hit a small bump in a construction area on the highway, the same violent shaking happened. …”
NHTSA complaint #11317273, filed 2020-03, 40,000 miles“My 2015 Jeep Wrangler sahara unlimited has developed the death wobble and I don't know how to fix it. It will begin to violently shake after hitting any small bump on the roadway at speeds ranging from 50 MPH to 70 MPH*. Shaking is so bad that I have to come to a complete stop as fast as possible because its very difficult to control while it shakes. * I only said at speeds up to 70 MPH because that's the fastest speed limit where I live. I have no doubt that it will do it more violently at higher speeds.”
NHTSA complaint #10970993, filed 2017-04, 60,000 miles“I recently purchased a new Jeep rubicon unlimited and had the dealer install a mopar 4 inch factory approved lift kit. The kit has a lot of issues with it and not a whole lot of answers to fix them. I was driving the vehicle with my 13 year old daughter in the passenger seat when the steering wheel started to shake uncontrollably and we headed into oncoming traffic. I was able to get control of the Jeep only by slamming on the brakes and turning away from the oncoming traffic. …”
NHTSA complaint #10730127, filed 2015-06, 728 miles“I have a 2015 Jeep rubicon purchased new from dealer with oem parts including factory tires. It was always a harder drive but after hitting 14000 miles the tires started thumping around 40 miles an hour and continued to get worse, along with wobbling, shaking and slipping over bumps. I was told the tires needed to be rotated every 5000 miles. I had them rotated but it did not resolve the problem. I took it in again as well as to a local mechanic. The mechanic said it was the tires but there was also some issues with the bearings. All this at 14000 miles. …”
NHTSA complaint #11243432, filed 2019-08, 14,000 miles“My Jeep has 15000 miles and for the past year I has been suffering what is call the death wobble . The car all the sudden will start shaking uncontrollable making it very hard to control the steering. I took it to westgate Jeep service in raleigh nc. They said nothing is wrong with it but it keeps doing it. I'm taking back this week. The death wobble starts when I go over an even section of the road and usually at a speed over 60 MPH. The only way it stops is bringing the speed to almost 30 MPH making very dangerous in the highway”
