“Car experiences what is called a death wobble when it goes over a small bump in the road. The steering wheel shakes uncontrollably. Happens when traveling between 40 and 50 mph. I loose complete control of the vehicle. I've taken the car to two experts who both confirmed the problem which started without warning or symptoms about mid May 2023.”

NHTSA complaint #11528500, filed 2023-06

“I have been and currently experiencing the death wobble while going on high speeds on the freeway. It feels like my jeep is out of control as the steering wheel Shakes and the whole car Shakes. I took it to the dealership where they just completed repairs for the shaking and put new suspension on. About two days later, I still experience the same shaking. There are no warning lights that come on.”

NHTSA complaint #11647193, filed 2025-03

“We have had the death wobble happen several times when driving. It was so violently shaking we tried to stop quick on a 75 mph hiway. Very dangerous and scary. This has happened many times over the last month. Had wheels realignment and new shocks. Still happening”

NHTSA complaint #11722155, filed 2026-03

“This is a known death wobble problem of jeep which i got while driving on highway with my family and could have got into an accident if would not control vehicle that time. My dealer is charger me for this issue which is costing me around 1200 usd and they are going to change the parts 1. Damper, Steering, 2. Tie rod end-outer-right or left for both sides. This is something which should have been covered under recall as its a serious safety issue.”

NHTSA complaint #11729542, filed 2026-04

“Approximately 10 months ago, I noticed my steering wheel and tires began to wobble when I hit the same patch of rough road. The severe shaking would stop once I was on smoother pavement. This would happen sporadically. I had the tires balanced during the next service appointment. The problem did not occur again until a month or so later. I do not drive everyday, as I am a retired person. This is I think the “death wobble”, and it feels as if the car is out of control!”
