  • 12/31/2020· STEERING,SUSPENSION,WHEELS

    WHILE DRIVING ON THE WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AT ABOUT 60 MPH AND TAKING A SLIGHT LEFT OR RIGHT CURVE WE HIT AN EXPANSION JOINT ON THE BRIDGE. THE FRONT WHEELS STARTED SHAKING UNCONTROLLABLY UNTIL I CAME TO A FULL STOP ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. VERY DANGEROUS SAFETY CONCERN, ESPECIALLY ON A CAR THAT HAS NOT BEEN OFF-ROAD AND WITH LESS THAN 18000 MILES AND NO MODIFICATIONS. THIS ISSUE IS VERY WELL DOCUMENTED ALL OVER THE INTERNET.

  • 12/30/2022· POWER TRAIN

    I have had both w12 & y07 recalls done and didn't have any problems with my clutch before then, now my clutch is making a strange noise and slipping. A software update to degrade power to my engine doesn't fix a clutch problem. Recalls are suppose to fix problems, not create more.

  • 12/30/2022· STEERING

    Lost all steering while driving on highway coming up to a corner, extreme safety risk. Jeep repair facility can not diagnose and repair my vehicle and it has been out of service for over 6 months this year and its at repair facility unable to be repaired-STARS has been involved. Loss of steering while driving my 6 year old granddaughter, we almost crashed into another vehicle, could have been deadly for both of us, she now won't ride in any car feeling she will get in accident.

  • 12/30/2018· STEERING

    CAR AS A VERY OBVIOUS STEERING PLAY, MORE OBVIOUS AT SPEED ABOVE 40MPH. THE JEEP IS HARD TO KEEP ON LANE IN NORMAL HIGHWAY DRIVING AND DANGEROUS.

  • 12/29/2025· VISIBILITY/WIPER

    I am reporting a defect with the driver-side sun visor on my 2019 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited. The sun visor mounting mechanism is faulty and has broken/detached during normal use. When this occurs, the visor drops down unexpectedly and obstructs the driver’s forward view. This creates a serious safety hazard, as the visor can suddenly block visibility while the vehicle is in motion, increasing the risk of a crash. The failure happened without excessive force or misuse, only routine flipping and positioning of the visor. I am aware that many other owners of 2019 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited vehicles have experienced the same sun visor failure, suggesting a widespread defect in the design or materials used. This appears to be a known and recurring issue affecting multiple vehicles of the same model year. I believe this defect should be investigated as a safety-related issue and considered for a recall, as it directly impacts driver visibility and safe vehicle operation.

  • 12/29/2021· VISIBILITY/WIPER

    The defrost is absolutely terrible. Both left and right vents do not push air causing the right and left side of the windshield to freeze up and windshield wipers to freeze up. Had to pull over in an unsafe location because visibility went to zero and created a very unsafe situation for me and my family.

  • 12/29/2019· STEERING,SERVICE BRAKES

    MY POWER STEERING HAS COMPLETELY LOCKED UP MULTIPLE TIMES WHILE DRIVING ON FREEWAYS, HIGHWAYS, AND RESIDENTIAL STREETS. THIS ISSUE HAS OCCURRED IN ALL TYPES OF WEATHER, INCLUDING RAINY DAYS AND DRY DAYS, SO THAT DOESN'T SEEM TO HAVE ANY SORT OF IMPACT ON THE ISSUE. WHEN THE POWER STEERING LOCKS UP THE VEHICLE THROWS AROUND 50 CODES, WHICH THE DEALERSHIP HAS RESET MORE THAN ONCE. EACH TIME THE STEERING LOCKS UP I HAVE TO SLAM ON MY BREAKS AND TURN MY CAR ON AND OFF MULTIPLE TIMES UNTIL THE STEERING STARTS WORKING AGAIN. I HAVE TAKEN MY JEEP TO THE DEALERSHIP TWICE - ON 11/30/2019 AND TODAY (12/29/2019) - AND HAVE CALLED MANY, MANY TIMES TRYING TO GET THIS ISSUE RESOLVED. NO ONE SEEMS TO CARE OR KNOW HOW TO SOLVE THE PROBLEM. I PICKED MY JEEP UP FROM THE DEALERSHIP FOR THE SECOND TIME EARLIER TODAY, AND MY STEERING COMPLETELY LOCKED UP AGAIN AFTER DRIVING IT 20 MILES. THIS TIME NOT ONLY DID THE STEERING COMPLETELY LOCK UP, BUT THE BREAKS WERE MALFUNCTIONING AS WELL. EACH TIME I TAKE MY JEEP TO THE DEALERSHIP THEY CLAIM THAT THE ISSUE IS RELATED TO THE SWAY BAR DISCONNECT, WHICH MAKES NO SENSE. BASED ON MY RESEARCH THERE AND MANY, MANY STOCK 2019 WRANGLERS THAT ARE HAVING THE EXACT SAME ISSUE. IF THIS ISSUE ISN'T TAKEN CARE OF WITH A SENSE OF URGENCY, SOMEONE IS GOING TO END UP LOSING THEIR LIFE. I AM TIRED OF GOING TO THE DEALERSHIP AND BEING PUSHED OUT THE DOOR EACH TIME BEING TOLD THAT THE ISSUE IS FIXED WHEN IT CLEARLY ISN'T. WHAT IS IT GOING TO TAKE FOR THIS ISSUE TO GET RESOLVED?

  • 12/28/2021· SEATS

The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was unknown.

  • 12/28/2020· STEERING,SUSPENSION

    WHEN ON THE HIGHWAY, IT STARTING SHAKING VIGOROUSLY. I HAD TO SLOW DOWN TO STOP IT FROM SHAKING. I WENT FROM ABOUT 70 MPH TO ABOUT 35 MPH IN ORDER TO STOP IT FROM SHAKING. I TRIED LOOKING UP WHAT IT COULD BE AND FOUND THAT IT'S BEEN CALLED THE "DEATH WOBBLE." I'VE ALSO CHECKED IT FOR RECALLS AND NOTHING CAME UP AT THIS TIME. I TRIED CALLING FCA, HOWEVER AFTER BEING ON HOLD FOR MORE THAN 2 HOURS, I HANGED UP. I HOPE YOU GUYS CAN HELP WITH ANSWERS ON THIS AS IT SEEMS THAT I'M NOT THE FIRST ONE TO EXPERIENCE THIS. THANK YOU.

  • 12/27/2025· STEERING,SUSPENSION,ELECTRICAL SYSTEM

    Concern: Suspension, steering, and electrical system malfunction Description of the Problem: While driving at highway speeds (approximately 75 mph), the vehicle experiences a wiggling or unstable sensation in the suspension, making the car feel unsafe. At the same time, the steering wheel becomes stiff and difficult to turn. Additionally, a warning message appears stating “Service Shifter.” When this occurs, the electrical system freezes, affecting vehicle functions. This electrical malfunction lasts for 1 to 2 days, during which systems do not respond properly before eventually resetting on their own. Safety Concern: The suspension instability, loss of steering responsiveness, and electrical failure at high speeds present a serious safety risk to the driver and others on the road. Request: Requesting a full inspection of the suspension, steering system, shifter system, and electrical components, including any sensors or modules that may be causing these failures.

  • 12/26/2020· STEERING,SUSPENSION

    WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AT APPROXIMATELY 70 MPH, THE JEEP BEGAN TO SHAKE (WABBLE) VIOLENTLY. THE STEERING COLUMN BECAME HARD TO CONTROL DUE TO THE SHAKING OF THE JEEP. SLOWING DOWN DID NOT SEEM TO HELP SO I PULLED OFF THE FREEWAY AND CAME TO A COMPLETE STOP. THIS ALLEVIATED THE ISSUE TEMPORARILY. HOWEVER, THE SHAKING/WABBLE OCCURRED 6 MORE TIMES DURING MY 200-MILE TRIP. I TOOK MY JEEP INTO THE DEALER TO GET FIXED AND WAITED 3 WEEKS FOR THE PART TO COME IN. DURING THIS TIME, THE WABBLE HAPPENED TWICE AT FREEWAY SPEEDS (65 MPH+). BOTH TIMES, I HAD TO PULL OFF THE FREEWAY AND COME TO A COMPLETE STOP TO REMEDY THE ISSUE. MY SERVICING DEALER REPLACED THE STEERING DAMPENER AS THEY SAID THAT WAS THE ISSUE. UNFORTUNATELY, AT FREEWAY SPEED, I ENCOUNTERED THE SHAKING/WABBLE AGAIN. SPEEDS OF 50 MPH OR LESS DO NOT SEEM TO TRIGGER THE SHAKING, BUT IT OCCURS INTERMITTENTLY AT SPEEDS OVER 50 MPH. AS LONG AS I AM IN THE SLOW LANE WITH ROOM TO EXIT THE ROAD, IT IS SAFE TO DRIVE. HOWEVER, IT IS A HUGE SAFETY ISSUE IF THERE IS NO WAY TO EXIT THE ROADWAY WHEN IT OCCURS AS THE ONLY WAY TO STOP THE SHAKING IS TO COME TO A COMPLETE STOP.

  • 12/17/2024· UNKNOWN OR OTHER

    I have a 2019 Jeep Wrangler, which is part of a recall for what is known as the 'Death Wobble', meaning that when driving over the smallest bump at highway speeds (~60mph), the vehicle begins to shake uncontrollably. This is a known recall and we had it fixed through the recall. After the fix at the dealer, the same death wobble problem persists again. The dealer/manufacturer is not solving the root cause, but rather putting a temporary fix on the issue. Very unsafe

  • 12/17/2019· STEERING

    STEERING DRIFTS ALL OVER THE LANES. MUST CONSTANTLY CORRECT STEERING TO KEEP IT CENTERED IN THE ROADWAY. THIS THING WILL WEAR YOU OUT AFTER A RELATIVELY SHORT DRIVE. WHEN YOU ARE BEING PASSED, ATTENTION MUST BE PAID TO THE STEERING TO KEEP YOU FROM DRIFTING INTO THE PASSING VEHICLE. WITH NO INPUT FROM THE DRIVER, THE VEHICLE WILL DRIFT TO THE RIGHT OR LEFT ON IT'S OWN. THIS IS THE WORST DRIVING VEHICLE I HAVE EVER OWNED.

    Death wobble where the Jeep shakes so violently that you can lose control. It has done this since new. I take it back to the dealer and they say Jeep is aware of the problem and they are working on a fix. Jeeps fix is a replacement steering damper. When I reported it to the dealer, I was told I had to wait until a fix was released. finally at 2125 miles they replaced the first damper. On the way home it death wobbled again. I had to wait again; at 2285 miles they replaced the track bar. The Jeep didn't handle or feel right but it didn't death wobble until Thanksgiving 2022 250 miles from home. I brought it back in and they replaced the steering damper again at 14668 miles. I was told by the service department there are over 6000 dampers on back order. This needs to be a recall since it affects thousands of Jeep Wranglers. My wife refuses to drive the Jeep.

  • 12/15/2021· STEERING

    While in 38 degree weather, the steering wheel locked up when turning to the left. Turning to the right was unaffected. This occurred immediately after engine start. I used a far larger amount of force than usual to push the steering wheel in an attempt to get it to unlock. This eventually did work, but every time I tried to turn to the left, the steering wheel felt like it was catching on something and required more force than I was accustomed to. This continued to happen though it eased as the drive went on and the car warmed up. The next day at around 35 degree weather the same thing occurred though not as bad as that first instance. It kept feeling stuck when turning left and the more I pushed it the more it eased. This did not happen over the summer when the temperature was repeatedly over 60 degrees. The binding occurred at both high and low speed.

    Filing this complaint regarding a known safety defect affecting my 2019 Jeep Wrangler Sport - specifically the steering damper column defect commonly referred to as "Death Wobble." ISSUE: My vehicle experiences violent and uncontrollable steering wheel oscillation when hitting bumps or road imperfections at highway speeds (typically above 55 mph). This phenomenon causes the entire front end to shake violently, requiring me to immediately slow down to regain control of the vehicle. This poses an extreme safety risk to myself, my passengers, and other motorists. I believe my vehicle has an issue with steering damper failure - the exact same defect addressed in Customer Satisfaction Notification V41 issued by FCA in June 2019. THE PROBLEM: While FCA issued CSN V41 covering approximately 192,000 2018-2019 Jeep Wranglers for steering damper defects, however my VIN was excluded from this notification despite experiencing the identical safety defect. FCA selectively applied the remedy to certain VINs rather than addressing all affected vehicles from these model years. SAFETY CONCERNS: This defect creates loss of vehicle control at highway speeds, significantly increasing crash risk. The NHTSA investigation (PE19-012) identified frame weld quality deficiencies and steering-related defects in 2018-2019 Wranglers affecting approximately 270,000 vehicles. Multiple investigations have documented steering looseness, steering wobble/shimmy, and loss of steering control in these model years. MANUFACTURER REFUSAL: Despite the known defect and my vehicle exhibiting the exact symptoms addressed in CSN V41, I believe once I take it in for service, Jeep will refuse to repair this safety issue under warranty, forcing me to bear the financial burden for a known manufacturing defect. REQUEST: I request NHTSA investigate why FCA limited CSN V41 to select VINs when the defect clearly affects a broader population of 2018-2019 Wranglers.

    WHILE DRIVING THE WRANGLER THE DASH WILL FREEZE GO BLACK AND RESET ITSELF WITHOUT WARING. YOU COULD BE PARKED OR DRIVING AND IT WILL HAPPEN. ACCORDING TO YOUR WEBSITE IT NOT INVOLVED IN THE RECALL FOR THE DASH YET IT IS DOING EXACTLY WHAT THE RECALL IS STATING IN THE BULLENTIN. IT'S QUITE NERVERACKING AND DANGEROUS WHEN IT HAPPENS WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY. IT'S BEEN HAPPENING FOR MONTHS NOW AND WE ARE TOLD IT'S NOT PART OF THE RECALL. THE HEADLIGHT ALSO RANDOMLY GO OUT AND YOU HAVE TO SHUT THEM OFF AND TURN THEM BACK ON TO RESET THEM. THAT HAPPENS RANDOMLY AT ALL HOURS OF THE DAY AND NIGHT.

    The board computer started to mention „service shifter“ when I was driving. Then the engine switched in neutral when I was still driving, telling a problem about the shifter. Later other systems failed, for example the servo for the steering, ehat has been very dangerous, as the steering wheel did not react anymore and I had to do a emergency break. Also, the engine could not be stopped.

    While driving my vehicle on a major highway several lights came on and I was notified that the antilock break system had been disengaged while driving. I was terrified driving this vehicle down a major highway but manage to make it home after pulling over several times when the vehicle seamed loose control. Once the vehicle was started the next day the following malfunction were emailed to me. The vehicle would not turn off for several hours, windshield wipers were running while in the off position, and the screen indicated that the vehicle was a rubicon, despite it being a Sahara. It was incredibly alarming not being able to turn this vehicle off after several attempts. The vehicle eventually turned off but upon restarting the vehicle the malfunctions would occur in addition to not being able to shift gears. 2) Powertrain Malfunction Indicator Light Electronic Throttle Control (1) Brakes & Suspension Antilock Brake System (1) Safety Air Bags
