Problems with 2010 Jeep Wrangler STEERING

Sporatic uncontrollable shaking while driving. only stops when you slow down to around 20mph. i googled it and it's known as the "death wobble" and is very prevalent problem with jeeps. dealership says it needs new steering stabilizer. it is very dangerous.

I have what is known as a 'death wobble' at any time my jeep goes into a severe wobble of the front axle and steering. i was in 3rd gear going 30 mph slowing down for a stop sign, when the jeep went into the 'death wobble'. it is so severe it feels like the front end is going to break apart. the only way to stop this is to take your foot off the gas and put the manual transmission in neutral. my mechanic told me not to ever put your foot on the brake, because that can cause even more damage. my mechanic and i don't understand why jeep doesn't want to address this issue of safety. jeep just told me that yes they have heard of this complaint but they usually know how to fix it. but it will cost me a lot of money. i feel they should be addressing this issue as what it truly is "a safety issue"

After researching the internet i cam across the acronym of the issue. what happened is exactly described in this article as the "death wobble." http://abc7news.com/archive/8547340/ this has happened multiple times while i'm driving at an average speed or high speed. if i hit a dip or turn at a average to high speed my jeep shakes uncontrollably. today i was driving to work on the 60 eastbound in the high speed lane going the speed limit (cruise control). my jeep hit a dip and shook so uncontrollably i almost had to do a complete stop on the freeway. i tried the best i could to merge to the slow speed lane to possibly exit the freeway. a few vehicles were behind me when this happened and it almost caused a severe accident. it literally feels like the axel is going to snap in half or the vehicle may even flip if the shaking were to continue. when the vehicle is shaking like this the only way i've experienced for it to stop is quickly slowing down almost to a complete stop. if i slow down slowly it still shakes uncontrollably so much so ...

Tl* the contact owned a 2010 jeep wrangler. while driving 68 mph, the vehicle shook uncontrollably. there were no warning indicators illuminated. a local dealer was notified (camacho auto sales inc, 1358 e palmdale blvd, palmdale, ca 93550 (661) 449-8600). the vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. the contact mentioned that the vehicle was surrendered to the dealer. the manufacturer was notified of the failure and stated that someone was investigating and would call the contact back. the approximate failure mileage was 61,000.

I was returning home from the grocery store and was driving on a paved city street with no potholes, speed-bumps, or other obstructions. as i made a left turn into our driveway i heard a noise and then suddenly the jeep turned hard right and i hit another care parked on the right side of our driveway. i had no control of the steering. upon inspection, i noticed that the stud coming from the steering gear box had sheared in half between the steering gear box and the pitman arm. there was nothing that i did that would have caused this to happen. also, this jeep has never been off road. i contacted chrysler and they said i need to contact my insurance company. they offered no assistance.

Wasn't due for an oil change for 3000 miles i use synthetic rod blew while on freeway with my daughter in the car . no brakes no warning no steering we could have died! chrysler turning their head! mechanic says it's a defect in engine and never seen an engine blow at 64,000 miles and still have all proper levels of fluids! i was going 65 miles an hour on a freeway thank god it was a straight stretch and i was in the right lane, had there been a turn or had we have been on a bridge we would have died or seriously injured someone else!

On 7/9/16 and 7/19/16, i was driving on i95 and my car started the "death wobble" - uncontrollable intense shaking that i almost got into an accident. the only thing that stops, i discovered recently, it is to slow down to a stop, which is pretty difficult on a highway without getting rear ended or into an accident. this apparently is common among jeeps, especially wranglers, but it should be fixed by chrysler. this is really dangerous!!

Yesterday while traveling with my 2 young grandchildren, i experienced something known as "death wobble", a violent vibration in the front end. it happened 3 times yesterday and twice today. all times i was traveling on a freeway at around 55 mph. it began to wobble as i entered a curve in the road. i was lucky enough to be able to slow and pull to the shoulder each time. the only way to make it stop is to stop the vehicle. i'm especially concerned because this also happened to my 2007 wrangler. why has jeep not fixed this problem? it's both terrifying and expensive to fix. i will never purchase another jeep.

Jeep goes into a death wobble at 60/65 mph. replaced steering stabilizer and still wobbles.

There are recalls already for the issue below for right hand steering vehicles. this recall should be applied to all jeep wrangler vehicles 2007-2012. a broken electrical circuit in the airbag clockspring wiring assembly can lead to non-deployment of the driver frontal airbag and will not be able to properly protect the driver in the event of a crash, increasing the risk of injuries. anytime that the steering wheel is moved from neutral/straight position the airbag light will turn on and a chime is heard.

I have what is commonly known as the jeep "death wobble". i cannot believe that a recall has not been issued for this. i almost caused an accident entering a highway with a construction zone as there was no where to pull over. the jeep was uncontrollable at 55 mph.
