“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”
NHTSA complaint #10839834, filed 2016-03, 13,000 miles“At 34,000 miles I started to experience a rotational vibration in the front end of my vehicle and the drivers front suspension started to get louder over a couple weeks so I took the car to a dealership, they diagnosed it as the ball joints were worn and they said it was still loud due to tires age (which were rotated with every oil change at approx 4,000 miles). The tires were not worn due to age but instead cupped due to damaged suspension component, the dealership that I had the vehicle serviced at on 12/15/2016 at 32,534 miles found the tread depth to be at 8/32 or greater. …”

The vehicle has had poor handling since delivery. At 2400 miles, the vehicle was serviced for poor handling, wandering, tire oscillation at highway speed. The dealer did steering repairs and returned the vehicle. At 11500 miles the vehicle was returned to the dealer for identical handling and steering problems. The dealer reported there was no problem with the suspension and rotated the tires. …”
