Uncontrollable shaking when hitting a bump at highway speeds on highway
Jeep started violently shaking when hitting a bump in a city road, tightened lose sway bar, but a couple weeks later noticed violent shaking again when traveling on the highway and almost caused me to lose control of the vehicle and had vehicle towed home. will not drive as i am terrified of causing an accident and death.
I am experiencing the death wobble. it happened once a few weeks ago and then nearly five times in a 180 mile drive. each time nearly caused and accident and the potential complete loss of control. this occurred at seven speeds ranging from 55 to 75 and when hitting small road imperfections.
I was driving my jeep on the highway at 65mph and drove over a seam(bump) in the road. the front wheels and steering wheel began the shake violently and uncontrollably. i had to bring the vehicle to a complete stop in order for the shaking to stop. finding a place to come to a complete stop on the highway is not safe at all.
Traveling on an interstate at 65 mph and went across the metal strip just before a bridge. the front wheels started wobbling violently and the steering wheel shook bad as well. this happened two more times this trip at the same type of situation. the second time i tried to slow down to get the jeep to stop wobbling but an 18 wheeler was directly behind me and almost ran up the rear of my vehicle. i had three mishaps all the same on this trip. i use the jeep around town, but won't drive it at high speeds. i had the damper replaced in the jeep three days prior to this trip. this is the part that fca says causes the problem. i have another appointment next week to have the jeep checked out. the date this happened to me was nov. 8th, 2019. being a first time owner of a jeep, i think i should have been made aware of this problem when i bought the jeep from the dealer.
