NHTSA Complaint #11164232 — 2018 JEEP WRANGLER

MY BRAND NEW 2018 WRANGLER JL HAS THE "DEATH WOBBLE": WHEN TRAVELING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS AND I HIT A SHARP BUMP, THE FRONT END SHAKES UNCONTROLLABLY. I NEED TO TAKE MY FOOT OFF THE GAS, GET INTO THE BREAKDOWN LANE AND GO DOWN TO CLOSE TO ZERO MPH BEFORE THE SHAKING STOPS, THEN I NEED TO RE-MERGE INTO TRAFFIC. VERY SCARY (I USUALLY HAVE FAMILY IN CAR WITH ME) AND VERY DANGEROUS. IT'S IN THE SHOP NOW. PARTS ARE ON BACKORDER AND THEY WON'T RELEASE IT TO ME UNTIL ITS FIXED--I PRESUME B/C ITS TOO DANGEROUS. I EXPERIENCED THE DEATH WOBBLE 7 TIMES BETWEEN WHEN I DROVE IT OFF THE LOT AND WAS ABLE TO SECURE AN APPOINTMENT WITH THE DEALER. *DT*JB
