Example complaints

“I just bought the Jeep and going home on highway at speed of 50-60. Jeep was going left and right (wobbling) and steering was little shaky. I thought it may be wind and hold on to steering careful. My wife was following me in different car and she noticed that too. Why I am going left and right but still stayed in lane. After coming home I did google search I see many reference of death wobble . I see Jeep knows this issue and it is really sad to see this issue in 2020. I may return this vehicle. I am still under 250 miles / 5 day return period. I will talk to dealer in the morning. …”
NHTSA complaint #11327593, filed 2020-06, 20 miles“While driving around 44 mph the vehicle started with a death wobble, steering wheel started shaking very hard at the point I almost lost control of the vehicle and crossed the other lane. It’s very scary and dangerous that if another driver is close,we could have an accident.”
NHTSA complaint #11567643, filed 2024-01“I almost actually died twice on a road trip when i hit uneven pavement on major interstates and had to come to a complete stop in the middle of a major highway with semi trucks swerving all around me. This jeep has the death wobble and I can't get anyone to recreate the issue to get it fixed.”
NHTSA complaint #11551373, filed 2023-10“While driving on a freeway, going over 40mph if I hit a bump or do not grip to my steering wheel very very tight the steering wheel gets wobbly, and starts shaking violently for a long period of time until I slow back down to under 30mph. Luckily traffic wasn’t too bad and I was able to safely do so. But it’s dangerous to slow down that much on the freeway, especially not having complete control over the steering wheel. Has happened multiple times, not just this once.”
NHTSA complaint #11628169, filed 2024-12“On 4 occassions two while being towed behind our RV the Jeep started jumping violently. Looked on the camera and felt like we were driving over big boulders but there were none. Thankfully we were going slow enough to stop without having an accident. On all four times it did not come back when we were going again. We are terrified of driving it and more so of towing it. Dealer found nothing wrong... We don't understand.”
