NHTSA Complaint #10896229 — 2012 JEEP WRANGLER

THE DEATH WOBBLE IS A TERRIFYING EXPERIENCE, ESPECIALLY WHEN IT OCCURS FOR THE FIRST TIME. SO FAR, THE ISSUE HAS OCCURRED AT 40-50 MPH ON A TWO WAY ROAD. DURING THE SEVERAL TIMES THAT IT HAS OCCURRED, I THOUGHT THAT A CRASH WOULD BE INEVITABLE IF I DIDN'T STOP THE CAR RIGHT AWAY. THE STEERING IS BARELY CONTROLLABLE AND IT GETS TO THE POINT WHERE YOU THINK THAT THE CAR WILL SWERVE OFF THE ROAD OR LIKELY FLIP. I AM NOT ONLY WORRIED ABOUT MY OWN SAFETY, BUT ALSO THE SAFETY OF OTHER ON THE ROAD. I HAVE BEEN LUCKY AND HAVE BEEN ABLE TO STOP THE CAR IN TIME. I AM VERY HESITANT TO LET ANYONE DRIVE THE VEHICLE BECAUSE OF THIS ISSUE. IF YOU ARE NOT EXPECTING IT, THE WOBBLE IS TRULY TERRIFYING. I CANNOT BELIEVE THAT A COMPANY HAS SUCH POOR DESIGN QUALITY. THIS ISSUE SHOULD BE ACKNOWLEDGED BY THE COMPANY AND A FIX SHOULD BE PROVIDED BEFORE SOMEONE GETS HURT. LESS THAN A YEAR AFTER TAKING THE VEHICLE TO THE MECHANIC, THE ISSUE HAS RESURFACED AND NOW IT IS EVEN WORSE. IT TRULY IS A SAFETY CONCERN AT THIS POINT.
