When vehicle goes over bump on roadway at elevated speed - vehicle steering vibrates uncontrollably.
- 12/31/2021· STEERING,SUSPENSION
a safety issue that has been termed the Jeep "death wobble" has occurred numerous times over the past 6 months . When a bump or pothole is confronted , there is a violent shaking of the steering wheel and front end and it takes anywhere from 5-15 seconds to resume control of the vehicle . This usually occurs at a speed of 55-65 miles per hour . control of the vehicle is virtually impossible when this occurs and only resumes stability when speed of the vehicle declines. Three repairs have been attempted to correct the issue , with genuine Chrysler parts used , but to no avail. This safety issue and dangerous condition has been documented with Chrysler since 2010 and there are 2 class action lawsuits still in place vs. Chrysler, the most recent being one regarding 2018-2020 jeep wranglers , filed in California.

The sun visors break off and fall down, obscuring view of the road ahead. This happened on both sides after two years of ownership, was replaced under warranty, then broke apart two years later out of warranty. The dealership demands hundreds of dollars to fix PER visor. For the exorbitant price for a part that shouldn’t even wear out like that (or that quickly), the only alternative is to buy third party brackets to secure the visors instead. These brackets are not made or offered in any way by Jeep or Mopar. Broken visors on 2018-2024 models are a well-known and very common problem according to Jeep’s own service technicians and hundreds of other Jeep owners online. Jeep/Stellantis should be forced to issue a recall on the visors / install for free the necessary securing brackets and offer full refunds to any customers who already paid out of pocket to get their visors replaced at the dealership. The part/design itself is faulty and having them replaced without the addition of extra securing brackets only guarantees that they will break again in the future. Having the sun visor suddenly fall / hit you / dangle in front of your face while driving is an absolute safety hazard and it’s shocking that nothing has been proactively done by Jeep to address this concern.

Death wobbles on a stock Jeep nothing at all has been changed on this vehicle. I am unable to take this vehicle anywhere without experiencing death wobbles. Dealership will be replacing the stabilizer, but many Jeep owners are telling me that this is not a fix and more of a band aid for the problem. I am seeing this same complaint over and again in Jeep Facebook groups. The bought this vehicle brand new and do not feel safe. This is extremely concerning on the freeway as well. This happens at around 45 mph 60mph and higher, I have to slow down to a complete stop for it to stop.

Driving on the interstate with cruise control set at 79 mph (dash has digital indicator of cruise control speed, as well) and the vehicle kept accelerating upwards of 90 mph without touching the buttons or gas. Then speed would drop/deceleration would occur intermittently going down as much as 9 mph before I stopped cruise control. I had to pull the vehicle off the interstate, turn it off and back on to enable cruise control to safely function again.

Southbound on I75 in Tipp City, Ohio it was windy 15 -20 mph. Driving in right lane, experienced a burst of wind which placed me into the middle lane, fortunately no vehicle occupied this immediate lane. Vehicles forward of me showed no signs of being effected by the wind, very fortunate no one had been beside me. This is not the first time similar loss of control has happened, I’m almost afraid to drive this Jeep on highways at this point. In-town, Jeep needs constant input to keep in lane, wanders constantly.

The entire instrument cluster failed on my 2020 Jeep Wrangler and had to be completely replaced at the dealer. One day, when starting the vehicle, the entire cluster was off with no advanced warnings, no speedometer, no fuel gauge, no warning lights, no odometer, and no information display of any kind. The vehicle would still operate, but all gauges and dashboard functions were non-functional. To make matters worse, this occurred as we were leaving the hospital with our [XXX] child during a snowstorm. Our child had just been admitted for three days to the PICU for RSV-related issues. The safety of our infant was directly put at risk due to the complete loss of all dashboard and warning information while driving in hazardous conditions. We took the vehicle to the Plainfield, Indiana Jeep dealership and were informed that the entire instrument cluster needed to be replaced. We were charged $1,526 for this repair. Now, approximately one year later, the replacement instrument cluster is exhibiting similar issues. While driving, the cluster will randomly flicker or blink, indicating the underlying electrical or instrument-panel defect was not fully resolved. During these events, visibility of speed, warnings, and vehicle status is temporarily lost. This remains an ongoing safety concern. Given that NHTSA has opened an investigation into Jeep instrument-cluster failures, I believe this issue represents a systemic defect rather than an isolated incident and warrants further review.

While driving at highway speed into sun glare, the driver’s side sunvisor spontaneously detached from the support arm, fell down , and obstructed my view causing me to take emergency action to regain full traffic / road vision. I safely pulled to side of the road. No collisions or injury occurred but this could have easily resulted in a crash. Further inspection showed the plastic snapped allowing the visor arm to detach from its mount on the windshield frame causing it to fall into field of view. Unquestionably a safety concern and a design flaw.

THE STEERING ON THIS JEEP IS DANGEROUS. IT WILL NOT RETURN TO CENTER, WHICH AT LOW SPEEDS MEANS IT WILL TURN IN A CIRCLE AND YOU HAVE TO STEER BACK WHEN MAKING A TURN. AT HIGH SPEEDS IT MEANS CONSTANTLY OVERCORRECTING AND CORRECTING TO KEEP VEHICLE IN LANE. THIS IS TACKING BACK AND FORTH AT HIGH SPEEDS TO AVOID HITTING VEHICLES OR BARRIERS ON EITHER SIDE OF YOU. TERRIFYING. THERE IS ALSO A LARGE DEAD SPOT IN THE STEERING FROM ABOUT 11 TO 1 MAKING THIS EVEN TOUGHER. JEEP TOLD ME "THIS IS AS DESIGNED." EVEN THOUGH THEY COULD SEE THE PROBLEM, THE WEREN'T ALLOWED TO TRY ANY SOLUTIONS. THIS IS A SEVERE SAFETY ISSUE AND NEEDS TO BE CORRECTED/RECALLED BEFORE IT KILLS SOMEONE. THERE SHOULD BE NO VEHICLE THAT SHOULD BE "DESIGNED" NOT TO RETURN TO CENTER AND HAVE MINIMAL STEERING CONTROL AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. A SECOND PROBLEM IS THAT IT TENDS TO REALLY WANDER WITH ANY OUTSIDE FORCE. A SLIGHT BREEZE WILL MEAN YOU ARE ALL OVER THE ROAD, AND WITHOUT BEING ABLE TO RETURN TO CENTER YOU ARE AGAIN GUESSING AT CENTER AND END UP TACKING BACK AND FORTH EVEN AT LOWER SPEEDS. THE DEALER ALSO NOTED THIS.

Driving on the highway, I traveled over a concrete expansion joint which caused my vehicle to shake violently from side to side with the steering wheel moving approximately six inches in either direction. The shake/vibration stopped after speed was reduced to under 40mph. This happened multiple times travelling the same day on the freeway. The dealership recommended replacing the steering damper with a more robust part which I did -- it wasn't covered under warranty because the original steering damper wasn't compromised but I was told with this more robust one I would probably never experience it again. This was the scariest event I've encountered in a vehicle. Reproduction of the event was not consistently repeatable. This event happed on October 30, 2023 on I-695 in Maryland.

Drivers side sun visor fell from hinge and is hanging by electrical cords. Sun visor spontaneously and repetitively smacks driver every time it drops back out of mount. Resulting in an obstruction of drivers field of view when operating vehicle. Tried to make a service appointment with several local dealerships but all advised of this issue not being a recall therefore not knowing of such problem. There are several incidents documented online in forums by other owners of the same sun visor equipment malfunctioning but no address of such issue by manufacturer. Dealerships seem to handle this issue on a case by case basis. However, sometimes the dealerships are replacing the faulty sun visor with the same faulty sun visor assembly and components - recycling the issue again as a quick fix.

My 2020 jeep wrangler just had its center instrument cluster go dark. This seems to be a known issue, and I believe there is a recall for 2024 models. The recall needs to be expanded as far back as the issue is being reported. This is dangerous situation with not being able to see the gas gauge, milage and additional critical information. To make matters even more unmanageable because the jeep needs to have the exact mileage known before replacing the instrument cluster the recommendation is to drop your car off at the dealer and not drive it until the part is replaced. Because this is such a large issue the current lead-time is 5 months to get a replacement part in. No one should be expected to leave their jeep at a dealership for 5 months. Our jeep dealer actually recommended getting an after-market replacement. I am reporting this to add my voice to many others who have experienced this same issue. I am also sure this is probably way under reported. Anything you can do to extend this recall back to at least 2020 would be greatly appreciated

Suddenly at 82,000 miles, my 2020 Jeep Wrangler Sport S 4 door began shaking uncontrollably while I was driving. It was a terrifying experience. I took it to the mechanic and he replaced the steering damper. The uncontrollable shaking continued. The mechanic replaced the steering damper again. The shaking continues. I have had a wheel alignment and tires balanced. I am scared to drive the vehicle. I don't know what else to do, except trade it in?

My Jeep dealership has confirmed that a Steering Damper replacement is necessary to keep the vehicle from experiencing what is called the "Death Wobble". After going over a few bumps the entire front end shakes as if there is a flat tire. Slowing down and pulling over remedies the problem. A driver who witnessed this pulled me over to say he thought I was going to lose my driver's wheel and suggested I keep under 35 MPH. The jeep has 20,800 miles on it. The dealership reported that each dealer can only order a small number of these parts per month as there is such a backlog. It's estimated they could order mine in March of 2024! In the meantime, they don't suggest I drive the vehicle. This is OUTRAGEOUS!

Stellantis, formerly FCA, formerly Chrysler issued Recall no. 19A nearly a year ago (NHTSA Recall Number 23V-116) and still does not have a remedy for my Jeep. Because this is a dangerously defect design in the clutch system that has caused vehicle fires, I have elected to pursue an aftermarket clutch system, the Centerforce II. Once I have this installed, how do I go about having Recall 19A/23v-116 cleared to show that my vehicle has been repaired?

WHILE DRIVING AT SPEEDS BETWEEN 35 AND 65 MPH, THE VEHICLE WILL WANDER FROM LEFT TO RIGHT CAUSING THE DRIVER TO CONSTANTLY CORRECT THE VEHICLE TO STAY WITHIN THE LANE. THE VEHICLE WILL ALSO PULL TO THE LEFT OR RIGHT WHEN APPLYING THE BRAKES. ONCE I SWERVED HALF A LANES WIDTH UNDER HEAVY BRAKING. THE VEHICLE HAS 3100 MILES ON IT. AT ALL TIMES REGARDLESS OF THE ROAD CONDITION THIS BEHAVIOR EXIST AND THE INTERNET IS FULL OF COMPLAINTS. THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE, NOT A PERFORMANCE ISSUE. PLEASE WATCH THIS VIDEO AS HE DOES A GREAT JOB DESCRIBING THE ISSUES SURROUNDING THE SAFETY OF THIS PRODUCT. HTTPS://WWW.YOUTUBE.COM/WATCH?V=GZES1_CJ99S I BELIEVE IF SOMETHING DOES NOT HAPPEN IMMEDIATELY THERE WILL BE ACCIDENTS. I HAD TO FIGHT WITH JEEP TO GET A RENTAL FOR THREE DAYS. THIS IS NOT A TIRE PRESSURE ISSUE OR SIMPLE ALIGNMENT ISSUE AND THAT'S HOW THE DEALERS ARE TRYING TO FIX THIS ISSUE, WITH BAND-AIDS I ASK FOR YOU TO READ AND TAKE THIS MESSAGE VERY SERIOUS AS I AM CONCERNED FOR ANYONE WITH THIS VEHICLE AND THESE HANDLING PROBLEMS. IT IS A KNOW ISSUE AND JEEP CONTINUES TO PUT PEOPLE IN THESE CARS. THE JEEPS ARE STILL BEING SOLD WITHOUT A PROPER CONFIRMATION THAT THEY ARE SAFE. I KNOW, BECAUSE I HAVE ONE....

Steering wheel gets very hot and the steering wheel and steering column start to smoke. Burning smell is toxic. This is a safety issue that needs to be repaired by Jeep.

Driver side dashboard experienced an instrument cluster failure causing the center dashboard information to go completely blank so that the mileage, amount of gas, speed, warning lights, etc. are all no longer visible. There appears to have been a recall for a similar issue for Jeep Wrangler years 2018-2024 but I have been told my VIN is not part of that recall even though it appears to be the same cluster failure issue.
