Driving on interstate 90 in new york state, at approximately 70 miles per hour, multiple times after hitting a patch on the road or a pot hole, my vehicle and steering wheel started to shake violently until i was able to slow down enough for the vibration to stop.
There have been three separate events that occured related to the front steering shaking on the vehicle. two occurred before i had the recall done called 02v41182 steering damper. driving ~60 mph, ~30 degrees f, and after hitting a bump. i then took it in for service for the work covered under the steering dampener to be fixed. approximately 5 minutes after leaving the dealer, i was driving and the issue occurred again for the third time. i am scared for the safety of my life and integrity of the steering system as all three events occurred on the the highway.
While driving our 2018 wrangler jl in 20-30 degree temperature the steering assist locked up, causing my wife to drive the vehicle off of the road while in a slow sweeping curve. after a second or two the steering re-engaged as she was trying to steer back onto the road and she suddenly veered back onto the road. a few seconds later it happened again. fortunately nothing was struck and no one was injured. after the vehicle continued to warm up the lockup did not occur again. this was 3 weeks ago. two days ago, while starting out driving in mid 30 degree temperatures the steering again locked up for about a second before reengaging. all instances occurred after the jeep was sitting outside in the cold and started for the first time that day. both events occurred within the first 4-5 minutes of driving at speeds in the 45-50mph range while making turns to the wheel. the big danger here is that if the vehicle is in a turn and the steering goes out, the driver could try and turn hard on the steering wheel to regain control and if the steering assist kicks back in, an oversteer situation ...
We bought this vehicle from hoffer jeep in topeka, ks. the vehicle was won buy a person at a casino event so we are the 2nd owner. the vehicle had, i believe under 2k miles, upon our purchase. since, we have owned the vehicle it has consistently had a "death wobble". i simply cannot count how many times at or under mandated highway speeds this vehicle has entered a 'death wobble". the most recent was from returning from manhattan ks to kansas city the vehicle entered a "death wobble" no less than 4 times. the last time i was driving 5 miles under the 75mph speed limit when hitting some road chatter, nothing significant, caused uncontrollable chatter in front wheels, axle, generating strong vibration through the steering column and wheel. i released the accelerator and the vehicle came out of the "death wobble" at 27mph, on an incredibly busy highway. this was/is unsafe at highway speeds. the dangers it caused could have been catastrophic in nature and need to be addressed before someone is killed. this vehicle is stock and has not had its suspension, tires, etc., adjusted or manipulated ...
Tight steering at highway speeds (over 60mph) most likely to happen in colder temperatures. to give you an idea: you are driving on the highway and want to switch lanes. it will feel as if your steering wheel is locked and that you cannot steer it to the next lane. you will have trouble keeping your vehicle straight on the highway as well, constantly veering to the right. this vehicle feels very dangerous to drive at highway speeds. took the vehicle in to the dealer 3 times, with the same " we cannot reproduce the issue" run around. i am certain that there is an issue and hope jeep (fca) owns up and issues a recall.
Ongoing isue with death wobble brought back to the dealer for a third time and they changed out the steering dampener assuring me that this would solve the issue while driving at 50mph on rte 290 auburn ma vehicle hit a bump on the highway and started the whole jeep shaking and causing an unsafe condition
After going to dealership and getting death wobble fixed vehicle by removing and reinstalling the steering dampener the correct way and exhibited the same issue and once again almost caused an accident vehicle travelling at 50 mph on highway 290 holy cross corner and vehicle started to shake and wobble uncontrollably had to slow down to 30mph to make the problem go away called dealership and they stated that they would need to order a new steering dampener
The morning of feb 6, 2020, i was driving my 2018 jl (approx 16k mileage) on the highway at ~65 mph when the steering all of a sudden locked up going into a right bend in the highway. suddenly i was unable to turn the vehicle to the right to stay in the middle lane and ended halfway in the left fast lane headed straight for the concrete highway median barriers. thank goodness there were no cars on the highway next to me in the left lane that the unresponsive steering forced me into. after i slowed down, the steering went back to normal and i was able to get over to the right hand lane without incident and exit the highway. i have not felt comfortable driving on the highway or having my kids in the jeep since. the steering lockup on the highway was frightening; i feel very lucky to have escaped what looked like an imminent high speed highway accident with my own vehicle and possibly other cars nearby. separately, my husband and i have both experienced rapid steering oscillation at highway speeds, a jarring full vehicle wobble when going ...
2020 jeep wrangler unlimited rubicon. the driver side control arm bracket on my front axle is not welded on one side. the weld missed the bracket all together. there is a recall for some 2020s, but mine is not listed. jeep told me since mine is not listed, there is nothing they can do. also even if it was impacted, there is no fix yet. my front axle could come loose at any time due to missing weld causing a loss of control. this is a serious safety concern and they will not do anything about it.
