2018 JEEP WRANGLER Electronic Stability Control Esc Problems

I HAVE A LEMON JEEP THAT HAS CAUSED ME MANY ACCIDENTS DUE TO THE STEERING ISSUE AND ENGINE OVERHEATING AND LEAKING OIL WHICH I ALMOST STARTED A WILDFIRE IN NORTHERN CALIFORNIA MOUNTAINS HIGHWAY 299. UNACCEPTABLE, FCA DOESNT CARE ....

WHILE IN CRUISE CONTROL MODE ON A HIGHWAY DOING SPEED OF 70 MPH WHEN COMING TO A SLIGHT BUMP IN THE ROAD ON A CURVE CAUSES THE VEHICLE TO GO INTO SEVERE SHAKING MODE, EVEN AFTER CANCELING THE CRUISE CONTROL BY EITHER BRAKING OR CANCELING MANUALLY IT CONTINUES. THE ONLY WAY IT STOPS IS IF I PULL OFF THE HIGHWAY AND STOP THE CAR COMPLETELY.

WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 40 MPH THROUGH A DOUBLE CURVE ON A CITY STREET THE STEERING LOCKED UP ON MY 2018 JEEP WRANLGER. A STEERING ERROR, CHECK ENGINE LIGHT, TRACTION CONTROL AND ABS LIGHT ALL CAME ON. THE VEHICLE HAD TO BE TOWED BACK TO THE DEALER. THIS IS NOW THE 3RD TIME THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN TAKEN TO THE DEALER (TWICE VIA TOW). EACH TIME, THE SCANNER HAS GIVEN THE SAME CODES YET FCA HAS RETURNED THE VEHICLE TO ME STATED ITS FIXED. THE STEERING LOCKING UP COULD HAVE RESULTED IN AN ACCIDENT HARMING MYSELF OR ANOTHER VEHICLE.

THE JEEP CAUGHT FIRE WHILE DRIVING NORMALLY YESTERDAY ON THE I95 HIGHWAY AT NORMAL SPEED.

ON MARCH 16TH DROVE TO WORK AND PARKED CAR. LEFT WORK AND GOT INTO CAR IN PARKING LOT. UPON TRYING TO START THE CAR WE EXPERIENCED MULTIPLE ELECTRICAL ISSUES AS WELL AS LOSS OF POWER STEERING, TRACTION CONTROL, STABILITY CONTROL, ENGINE START/STOP FAILURE, PUSH START UNRESPONSIVE. CAR FINALLY STARTED ALTHOUGH MULTIPLE LIGHTS REMAINED ON. DROVE THE CAR SLOWLY TO FCA DEALER CLOSEST TO HOME AND EXPLAINED ISSUES TO SERVICE ADVISOR TYLER PENNINGTON. DEALER HAD CAR IN SERVICE FOR APPROXIMATELY 3 WEEKS UNTIL TODAY 4/3/2020. PICKED UP FROM SERVICE MANAGER AL BEGIL. MR. BEGIL EXPLAINED THAT THEY NEVER COULD PHYSICALLY FIND THE SOURCE OF THE ISSUES DESPITE GOING THROUGH MANY WIRING HARNESSES, MODULES, FUSE BOXES, ETC. COMMUNICATED WITH FCA ENGINEERING MULTIPLE TIMES OVER THE THREE WEEKS. SEEMS LIKE IT WAS ENGINEERING ADVISED DEALER TO TRY SOMETHING AND IF THAT DOESN'T WORK TRY LET ENGINEERING KNOW AND THEN THEY WOULD TRY SOMETHING...

STABILIZER CONTROL AND THROTTLE CONTROL LIGHT CAME ON. VEHICLE WAS TAKEN IN FOR REPAIR. VEHICLE WAS PICKED UP AND THE STEERING FELT LIGHT. AS I'M DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY I HIT A BUMP AND THE STEERING WHEEL BEGAN TO SHAKE VIOLENTLY. I SLOWED DOWN AND IT STOPPED. I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP AND EXPLAINED WHAT HAPPENED AND I'M GETTING THE RUN AROUND. CLAIM IT COULD BE WARP ROTORS. IT'S NOT WARPED ROTORS AFTER I DID SOME RESEARCH. I FOUND OUT THIS VEHICLE HAS WHAT'S CALLED A DEATH WOBBLE.

DRIVING AT ABOUT 60 MPH WHEN I WENT OVER BRIDGE SEPARATORS AND THE WHOLE FRONT END STARTED TO WOBBLE AND SHAKE UNTIL I SLOWED TO APPROX. 40 MPH THOUGHT THE FRONT WHEELS WERE GOING TO COME OFF.

WHILE DRIVING THE POSTED SPEED LIMITS, ON ANY STREET, I AM CONSTANTLY FIGHTING WITH THE STEERING WHEEL JERKS OUT OF MY HANDS, EVEN THOUGH I HAD SEVERAL PROFESSIONALS LOOK AT MY TIRES, WHEELS, SUSPENSION COMPONENTS, TIE RODS, STABILIZER BAR, STEERING DAMPENER, BALL JOINTS, ETC. MY JEEP HAS THIS MASSIVE DEATH WABBLE, WHERE I CONSTANTLY HAVE TO FIGHT THE STEERING WHEEL! ON 15+ DIFFERENT TIMES (IT DOES NOT MATTER IF I AM DRIVING ON A HWY 70MPH, SECONDARY ST'S 40MPH, 5-LANE ST'S AT 50MPH, OR WHILE DRIVING IN A SUBDIVISION AT 25MPH), JUST TRYING TO TURN MY JEEP BECOMES A HUGE CHALLENGE, EVEN ON A GOOD DAY! I BELIEVE THAT MY ELECTRIC POWER STEERING IS ALSO DEFECTIVE TOO, THE STEERING WHEEL VIOLENTLY JERKS ME INTO ONCOMING TRAFFIC, & INTO OTHERS LANES WITHOUT ANY WARNINGS! I FINALLY CONTACTED 'SYNERGY MANUFACTURING' WHO TOLD ME THAT ALL OF THE STEERING COMPONENTS ON THE JL'S...

DRIVING ALONG HIGHWAY SPEEDS, 70-75MPH AND HIT SLIGHTLY UNEVEN TERRAIN (THE LIP FROM A BRIDGE ONTO THE HIGHWAY) THE VEHICLE BEGAN SHAKING UNCONTROLLABLY. THIS CONTINUED FOR A WHILE UNTIL I EVENTUALLY WAS FORCED TO SLOW DOWN BY PULLING TOWARDS THE SHOULDER. I HAVE RESEARCHED THIS PROBLEM AND I CAN SEE NUMEROUS PEOPLE CALLING IT BY THE TERM "JEEP DEATH WOBBLE". THE ISSUE IS ROUGHLY THE EXACT SAME AS EVERYONE ELSE. MY VEHICLE HAS BEEN CHECKED BY THE DEALER AND THEY STATE THEY SERVICED IT BY REPLACING THE STEERING DAMPER HOWEVER THE ISSUE HAS STILL CONTINUED AFTER THAT. IT IS RANDOM HOWEVER EXTREMELY SCARY WHEN TRAVELING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS AND HAVING THE VEHICLE UNCONTROLLABLY SHAKE UNTIL YOU HAVE TO SLOW DOWN, WHICH IS NOT EASY TO DO ON A BUSY HIGHWAY.

MY JEEP BEGAN WOBBLING A FEW MONTHS AFTER I PURCHASED IT LAST JULY 2018.WOBBLING HAS ONLY OCCURRED WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY. THEY DID A COMPUTER UPDATE LAST YEAR THAT WAS SUPPOSE TO FIX THE PROBLEM BUT ON 10/5/19 MY JEEP BEGAN TO WOBBLE UNCONTROLLABLY ANY TIME I REACHED 50 OR ABOVE. I TOOK IT IN ON MONDAY 10/13 AND WAS TOLD THE PROBLEM WAS REPAIRED BUT THE NEXT DAY WHILE DOING 50MPH IT BEGAN TO WOBBLE. THE TEMPERATURE READS 800 DEGREES RANDOMLY SINCE THE START AND THEY FINALLY TOLD ME PROBLEM WAS FIXED. THE CARS STALLS RANDOMLY AT RED LIGHTS AND I NEED TO TURN IT OFF AND RESTART IT. WHEN THIS HAPPENS THE GAS PETAL LOCKS AND I AM NOT ABLE TO DO ANYTHING UNLESS I RESTART THE CAR. THIS ALSO HAPPENED ONE TIME WHILE I WAS REVERSING THE CAR WHEN I SHIFT TO DRIVE THE CAR DID...

HAVE HAD THE JEEP FOR ONLY 3 WEEKS NOW AND ON THE SECOND WEEK THE "ENGINE LIGHT" TURNED ON, TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND WAS TOLD IT WAS DUE TO NOT CLOSING TIGHT THE GAS CAP TIGHT WHEN I PUT GAS BUT THE THING IS THAT "I" HAD NOT EVEN FUELED IT BECAUSE I DID NOT HAVE THE JEEP LONG ENOUGH TO NEED TO FUEL IT UP. THE "SESPENSION", STEERING IS VERY WOBBLY TO AND FROM ANY WHERE I DRIVE IT IN TOWN OR CITY AND MORE SO WHEN I DRIVE IT ON THE FREEWAY, IT IS A TASK AND SRUGGLE; ARMS AND HANDS ARE SORE AFTER I GET HOME FOR ME TO TRY TO KEEP IT STEADY , IF I DO NOT STAY FOCUS AND HOLD TIGHT ONTO THE STEERING WHEEL WHEN DRIVING IT , THE JEEP WILL GO ON EITHER TO THE LEFT OR RIGHT. I HAVE...

JEEP JLU BEGAN "DEATH WOBBLE" AT 70MPH WHILE ON I-485 (SPEED LIMIT IS 70). HAD TO SLOW DOWN TO 40MPH TO GET IT TO STOP, WHICH ALMOST CAUSED A CRASH WITH VEHICLES BEHIND/BESIDE ME SLOWING TO MATCH. SINCE THEN, "DEATH WOBBLE" HAS OCCURRED 2-3 TIMES PER WEEK ON VARIOUS ROADS. SPEEDS 50-70. I NOW HAVE 3 ROADS WHERE I CAN REPLICATE IT AND WILL BE GOING BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP. WAS TOLD MONTHS AGO BY DEALERSHIP "IT'S NOT DEATH WOBBLE; SOMETIMES STUFF GETS STUCK IN THE WHEELS AND MAKES A CLUNKING SOUND." SORRY, NOT SORRY. ENTIRE JEEP FRONT END FELT LIKE IT WAS ON HYDRAULICS.

THE CAR SHAKES UNCONTROLLABLY WHEN DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AND AFTER HITTING A BUMP OR IMPERFECTION IN THE ROAD. I HAVE HAD THE PROBLEM FIXED ONCE BEFORE A FEW MONTHS AGO. LAST WEE WHEN DRIVING BACK FROM DROPPING MY SON OFF AT COLLEGE THE CAR SHOOK UNCONTROLLABLY AT LEAST A DOZEN TIMES. THE CAR SEEMED TO SHAKE AT HIGHER SPEEDS AND I WOULD HAVE TO PULL THE CAR OFF THE ROAD TO ALMOST A COMPLETE STOP TO MAKE THE SHAKING STOP.I ALSO HAD THE CAR REPAIRED FOR THE SAME ISSUES AT SCAP JEEP IN FAIRFIELD CT A FEW MONTHS AGO. THEY SAID IT WAS THE STEERING DAMPER. THE CAR WAS FINE FOR A FEW MONTHS BUT THE PROBLEM CAME BACK AGAIN. THE INCIDENT HAPPENED ON 8/25. WE FEAR TAKING THE CAR ON THE HIGHWAY.

I DO NOT KNOW THE EXACT CAUSE, BUT THE VEHICLE HAS EXTREMELY LOOSE STEERING AND WANDERS ALL OVER THE LANE WHILE DRIVING AT ALL SPEEDS. VERY DIFFICULT TO CONTROL VEHICLE WHICH MAKES IT EXTREMELY UNSAFE TO DRIVE AT HIGHER SPEEDS. COMBINE THE TWO WITH A BUMP IN THE ROAD, AND THE VEHICLE JUMPS TO THE SIDE. LOOSE STEERING IS EASILY NOTICED WHILE THE VEHICLE IS TURNED OFF AND PARKED.

WHILE STEPPING ON THE BRAKES, THE SERVICE SHIFTER LIGHT COMES ON, POWER STEERING GOES OUT, THEN THE DASHBOARD GOES CRAZY WITH ALL SORTS OF WARNINGS BLINKING AND DINGING: SWAY BAR, STABILITY CONTROL, BLIND SPOT ALERT, AUTO PARK, ETC. TEMP GOES UP AND DOWN, SPEEDOMETER GOES CRAZY. WHEN THE VEHICLE IS SHUT OFF AND RE-STARTED, IT USUALLY STARTS AS NORMAL. MOST OCCURRENCES HAVE BEEN WHEN SLOWING DOWN (IN LINE AT A DRIVE THRU, APPROACHING A STOPLIGHT). THE JEEP HAS BEEN IN THE SHOP 4 TIMES. THIS SERVICE SHIFTER LATE FIRST CAME ON JUNE 23 AND IT OCCURRED FOUR TIMES THAT DAY.FIRST THEY REPAIRED THE POWER STEERING. THE PROBLEM HAPPENED AGAIN AND THEY REPLACED THE MODULE IN THE STEERING COLUMN. THE PROBLEM HAPPENED AGAIN AND THE DEALERSHIP COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM. IT HAPPENED AGAIN AND THE VEHICLE HAD TO BE TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP WHERE IT IS STILL SITTING

DRIVING DOWN ROAD YESTERDAY WITH NO RAIN, COMPLETELY DRY AND 89 DEGREES, ALL THE SUDDEN MY JEEP MAKES A DINGING NOISE AND THE SERVICE ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL LIGHT COMES ON. I CALLED DEALERSHIP THEY SAID IF IT CAME BACK ON OR DIDN'T GO OFF TO SCHEDULE AN APT. I ASK IF SAFE TO DRIVE, RESPONSE WAS I GUESS NOT SURE, SHOULD NOT HURT ANYTHING. THIS SAME DEALERSHIP HAD TO ENTER A CODE INTO MY COMPUTER LAST WEEK BECAUSE MY JEEP WAS AUTOMATIC, BUT WHEN YOU GOT IN IT, IT SAYS DEPRESS CLUTCH AND TURN KEY, FOR STRAIGHT DRIVE. ALSO THE CENTER CONSOLE LIGHTS SOME TIME WOULD WORK AND SOMETIME NOT, AFTER THE UPDATE THAT STOPPED. NOT SURE WHAT TO DO ABOUT THE ESC LIGHT, IT DID GO OFF.

STEERING WHEEL GOT LOCKED IN PLACE GOING AT HIGH SPEEDS ON FREEWAY. HAS HAPPENED ABOUT 3 TIMES NOW. FIRST TIME THIS HAPPENED VEHICLE WAS GOING ABOUT 65 MPH ON A CURVE. ALSO, HAS EXCESSIVE SWERVING WHEN VEHICLE IS ON HIGHWAY.

VEHICLE SHAKES UNCONTROLLABLY WHEN HITTING A BUMP AT SPEEDS OF APPROXIMATELY 50MPH OR HIGHER. IT FEELS AS IF YOU'VE POPPED A TIRE. SHAKING WILL NOT STOP UNTIL YOU SLOW DOWN SIGNIFICANTLY. THIS ISSUE IS OFTEN CALLED THE 'DEATH WOBBLE.' NO MODIFICATIONS TO THE VEHICLE, LESS THAN 7 MONTHS OLD AT THE TIME OF THE FIRST INCIDENT. CONSISTENTLY HAPPENS AT LEAST ONCE EVERY OTHER WEEK.

TRYING TO AVOID A LARGE DIRT CLUMP LEFT IN THE ROAD BY THE ROAD MAINTENENCE CREW I SWERVED TO THE LEFT AT 35 MILES AN HOUR AND THE ESM/ESC LIGHT CAME ON AND THE JEEP TOOK OVER THE CAR I COULD NOT APPLY THE BRAKES OR CONTROL THE STEERING THE SPEED DID NOT DEMINISH AND THE VEHICLE CROSSED AN INTERSECTION ROLLING UP AN EMBANKMENT SO THAT THE FRONT OF THE JEEP WENT IN THE AIR AND CAME DOWN HARD CAUSING THE FRAME TO BREAK AND THE FRONT AXLE TO BEND. IF I COULD HAVE AT LEAST BEEN ABLE TO CONTROL THE STEERING I COULD HAVE TURNED IN THE DIRECTION I HAD INTENDED TO GO THIS COULD HAVE BEEN AVOIDED. JEEP IS NOW TRYING TO FIX THE CONTROL SYSTEM AFTER THE DAMAGE WAS REPAIRED. THE LIGHT REMAINED ON EVEN AFTER THE JEEP STOPPED. I SEE OTHERS HAVE HAD TROUBLE WITH THIS...

!!! CAR CURRENTLY @ DEALERSHIP FOR 5TH TIME FOR SAME ISSUE !!! WHEN DRIVING @ HWY SPEEDS AND HIT A BUMP DIVOT OR POTHOLE THE ENTIRE JEEP VIOLENTLY VIBRATES SHAKES AND SWAYS FROM FRONT TO BACK. AFTER THE LATEST "FIX" NOW IT STILL VIBRATES SHAKES SWAYS AND NOW BOUNCES THE VEHICLE INTO ANOTHER LANE MY FAMILY & I NEARLY HIT ANOTHER VEHICLE ON THE HWY ON SATURDAY 3/23/19. WE HAVE HAD THE VEHICLE INTO DEALERSHIP 4 TIMES SINCE JANUARY 2019 FOR THEM TO FIX THIS ISSUE AND FCA/DEALERSHIP HAVE NO IDEA HOW TO REMEDY THIS ISSUE. AFTER THIS LAST INCIDENT ON 3/23/19 I DON'T WANT MY FAMILY OR MYSELF IN THIS JEEP. I WAS VERY SCARY ON 3/23/19 BEING BOUNCED INTO ANOTHER LANE WITH OTHER CARS RIGHT BEHIND AND ALONG SIDE OF ME. IT WAS A WHITE KNUCKLE DRIVING EXPERIENCE I DON'T WANT TO HAPPEN AGAIN. ITS DANGEROUS UNSAFE ALARMING...

I WAS DRIVING AT 45 MILES PER HOUR WHEN MY SERVICE SHIFTER LIGHT WENT OFF. WITHIN 1 MINUTE I LOST MY POWER STEERING, AND BRAKES. MY CAR LOCKED INTO GEAR AND I LOST ALL ABILITY TO ACCELERATE. AT THAT POINT THE CAR STARTED DINGING AND PROMPTING EVERY CODE IN THE CAR. SWAY BAR ENGAGEMENT, REAR ELECTRONICS, FUEL LOW, TIRE PRESSURE, CHANGE OIL.....I CAN'T REMEMBER EVERY ONE. WHEN I GOT MY CAR TO STOP I COULD NOT GET THE CAR TO TURN OFF AND ALL OF THE FANS WERE BLOWING ON HIGH ALONG WITH THE MOTOR REEVING. I FINALLY GOT IT TO TURN OFF AND CALLED FOR A TOW. THE REPAIR SHOP TOLD ME THE CAR HAD THROWN OVER 100 CODES BUT NONE WERE ACTIVE. THEY KEPT MY JEEP FOR 10 DAYS AND TOLD ME THEY TOOK IT APART AND CHECKED EVERYTHING. I WAS TOLD BECAUSE NO ISSUES WERE CURRENT THEY...

CAR WAS BROUGHT IN 3 TIMES FOR DEATH WOBBLE. FIRST COULD NOT REPLICATE, THEN PART WAS REPLACED WITH A PART REMOVED FROM ANOTHER VEHICLE AS THE REQUIRED PART WAS ON NATIONWIDE BACK-ORDER. THAT PART WAS DEFECTIVE, CAR WENT BACK IN THE SHOP AND WAITED FOR NEW PART TO COME IN. ON 3/6/19 THE DEATH WOBBLE REOCCURRED WITH MY VEHICLE. IT DOES NOT STOP UNTIL YOU REDUCE YOUR SPEED - DIFFICULT TO DO IN HEAVY TRAFFIC. CURRENTLY HAVE NOT RECEIVED RESPONSE FROM DEALER TO BRING CAR BACK IN. THEY HAD FCA ENGINEER LOOK AT IT THE LAST TIME IT WAS IN AND WILL NOT SEND ME COPY OF THE DOCUMENTATION.

VEHICLE STEERING WHEEL COMPLETELY LOCKS UP WHILE DRIVING ON HIGHWAY NEARLY CAUSING AN ACCIDENT AS YOU ARE UNABLE TO CORRECT WHEEL FOR UP TO 10 SECONDS. WHILE TSB 08-092-18 WAS ISSUED 7 MONTHS AGO THIS PRESENTS A SIGNIFICANT POSSIBILITY FOR ACCIDENT AND INJURY AND SHOULD BE RECALLED FOR ANYONE AFFECTED.

POWER STEERING STOPPED WORKING WHEN DRIVING ON HIGHWAY. ONLY CAN STEERING 10 DEGREES EITHER RIGHT OR LEFT. THANK GOD, I WAS ABLE TO PULL OVER. I RESTARTED AND STEERING CANE BACK.

JEEP WONDERS FROM LEFT TO RIGHT ABOVE 40 MILES, EXCESSIVE PLAY IN STEERING WHILE DRIVING IN CITY SPEEDS AND HIGHWAY ,BOUGHT IT BRAND NEW STARTED FROM DAY ONE HAVE BROUGHT IT TO DEALERS 4 TIMES , HAVE CALLED CHRYSLER FCA CUSTOMER CARE ONLY TO B TOLD THERE IS NO PROBLEM WITH JEEP AND IT IS DOING WHAT IT IS DESIGN TO DO ,?EALER WILL NOT LOOK AT PROBLEM ANYMORE AND TELLS ME TO CALL FCA !!!DEALER OPEN A CASE ON THE JEEP FCA CAME BACK AND SAID VEHICLE IS DOING WHAT IT IS DESIGN TO TO IT IS WITHIN SPECS, .NO COPYS WERE GIVEN TO ME !!!!ASE WAS CLOSED

I PURCHASED A 2018 JEEP WRANGLER (JL 4 DOOR SAHARA) IN AUGUST 2018. AT SPEEDS EXCEEDING 55 MPH THE JEEP SHAKES UNCONTROLLABLY MAKING HANDLING/STEERING CLOSE TO IMPOSSIBLE. I HAVE TO SLOW DOWN TO ABOUT 25 MPH TO GAIN CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE. THIS HAPPENS WHEN I HIT EVEN A SLIGHT BUMP IN THE ROAD. MY JEEP HAS ALREADY BEEN TO DEALERSHIP FOR A SIMILAR ISSUE (RECALL ON TRACK BAR FRAME BRACKET) AND NOTHING WAS FOUND. I HAVE A $48,000 VEHICLE THAT I CAN'T TAKE ON THE HIGHWAY. CURRENTLY LESS THAN 5000 MILES ON THE WRANGLER. VERY DANGEROUS!

PURCHASED THE BRAND NEW 2018 JEEP WRANGLER SAHARA WITH 40 MILES ON NOVEMBER 30, 2018. CURRENTLY, THIS VEHICLE HAS 1,975 MILES. IN LATE DECEMBER 2018 HIT A BUMP ON A HIGHWAY DRIVING THE POSTED SPEED OF 70MPH AND THE VEHICLE VIBRATED A BIT AND HAD TO SLOW DOWN TO HANDLE THE VEHICLE. EACH WEEK AFTER DRIVING THE VEHICLE ON DAILY COMMUTE IN CITY CONDITIONS AT THE POSTED SPEED OF 25-30MPH, AFTER HITTING A BUMP IN THE PAVEMENT THE VEHICLE DOES NOT HANDLE WELL, AS IF I WOULD LOSE CONTROL. ON JANUARY 27, 2019 DRIVING ON A RAMP AT THE SPEED OF 45MPH UPON ENTERING THE INTERSTATE THE VEHICLE HIT A BUMP IN THE PAVEMENT, THE VEHICLE BEGINS AN UNCONTROLLABLE VIBRATION AND WAS SHAKING THE STEERING WHEEL, I HAD TO PULL OVER. AFTER RESEARCHING THIS ISSUE ONLINE WITH THE SAME ISSUE, I FEEL UNSAFE DRIVING MY ONLY VEHICLE. FOR A VEHICLE...

WHILE DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE HIGHWAY AT APPROXIMATELY 70 MPH WHEN GOING OVER POT HOLES OR BUMPS LIKE ONES AT BRIDGE CROSSINGS THE STEERING LOSES CONTROL AND VIBRATES AND SHAKES. THE DRIVER HAS NO CONTROL OF THE STEERING YOU MUST SLOW DOWN TO APPROXIMATELY 45 MPH TO REGAIN CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE. ONE INCIDENT ON THE HIGHWAY HAPPENED WHEN WE WERE SWITCHING LANES ON THE INTERSTATE AT APPROXIMATELY 70 MPH THE ROAD CONDITION WAS SMOOTH AND AS WE MERGED INTO THE LEFT LANE THE STEERING VIBRATED AND SHOOK AND TEMPORALLY DID NOT HAVE CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE IN TILL WE SLOWED DOWN TO APPROXIMATELY 45 MPH. THE DEALERSHIP THAT I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE FROM HAS AFTER SEVERAL ATTEMPTS TO REPAIR THE VEHICLE CLAIMED THEY FIXED IT. THIS IS NOT THE CASE IT IS STILL A PROBLEM

A SMALL BUMP CAUSES THE STEERING WHEEL AND FRONT END OF THE CAR TO VIOLENTLY SHAKE. IT HAPPENS AT VARYING SPEEDS, TAKING YOUR FOOT OFF THE ACCELERATOR OR TRYING TO BREAK DOES NOT GET IT TO STOP, YOU RIDE IT OUT.THE WHEELS ARE SHAKING ALONG WITH THE STEERING WHEEL. IN ADDITION, THE CLOCK DOESN'T KEEP TIME AND RADIO INTERMITTENTLY DROPS STATIONS, SCANS THROUGH ALL OF THE STATIONS OR PICKS UP STATIC. I HAVE A VIDEO OF NOT BEING ABLE TO CONTROL THE RADIO(ON OR OFF), UNABLE TO CHANGE THE VOLUME OR SHUT THE RADIO OFF. I WAS NOT ABLE TO USE TOUCH SCREEN OR THE CONTROLS ON THE STEERING WHEEL IN ORDER TO OPERATE THE RADIO. IT HAS BEEN BROUGHT IN FOR SERVICE ON FOR THE SHAKING 3 TIMES NOW, GOING ON 4. JEEP SAYS IT'S FIXED THE PROBLEM BY REPLACING THE STEERING STABILIZER/DAMPENER. JEEP KNOWS IT IS HAPPENING AND...

BOUGHT MY JEEP 2018 WRANGLER BRAND NEW, HAD ISSUED WITH THE STEERING BECOME VERY HARD TO TURN WAS BARELY TURNING ON A CORNER STREET. LITERALLY IMPOSSIBLE TO MAKE A RIGHT TURN,ALL OF A SUDDEN IT JUST BECAME EASY TO TURN AS IF NOTHING WAS WRONG. ALSO A SERVICE SHIFTER LIGHT AND THE STABILITY CONTROLL LIGHT COMES ON EVERY NOW AND THEN, NOW THE ISSUE IS THE SCREEN IS DISPLAYING AN ANTI THEFT SCREEN ASKING FOR A THEFT CODE AND JEEP WILL NOT TURN ON.

EXTREME SHAKING IN THE FRONT END WHEN HITTING ANY BUMP IN EXCESS SPEEDS OF 50+MPH

VIOLENT SHAKING IN THE FRONT END WHEN HITTING ANY BUMP IN EXCESS SPEEDS OF 50+MPH

ON THREE SEPARATE OCCASIONS I HAVE EXPERIENCED WHAT IS KNOWN AS THE "DEATH WOBBLE" WHERE THE JEEP FEELS LIKE IT IS OFF BALANCE AND SHIFTING FROM SIDE TO SIDE; ALMOST LIKE YOU ARE SLIDING ON ICE. THIS HAPPENS AT A RATE OF SPEED OF 45 MPH OR LESS. MY JEEP HAS 5,400 MILES ON IT AND HAS NEVER BEEN MODIFIED.

WHEN DRIVING IN COLD WEATHER OR JUST AFTER THE JEEP HAS BEEN SITTING IN LARK FOR A FEW HOURS IT WILL ALLOW ME TO STEER AT LOW SPEEDS BUT AFTER 45-60 MPH IT WILL LOCK ON ME A FEW TIMES UNTIL THE ENGINE IS FULLY WARM

I BOUGHT THIS WRANGLER JL MODEL NEW THIS PAST SUMMER. SINCE THAT TIME I HAVE EXPERIENCED 3 SEPARATE OCCASIONS WHERE THE FRONT END SHAKES UNCONTROLLABLY WITH THE STEERING WHEEL SHAKING BACK AND FORTH. THIS OCCURRED ONCE ON A MULTIPLE LANE ROAD TRAVELING APPROXIMATELY 45MPH AND ONCE ON A HIGHWAY TRAVELING APPROXIMATELY 70MPH. I HAVE BEEN TOLD BY THE JEEP DEALER THIS IS TERMED A "DEATH WOBBLE."

MY STEERING WHEEL SHAKES/VIBRATES RAPIDLY MULTIPLE TIMES DAILY AT SPEEDS VERYING FROM 20MPH THROUGH 80MPH. IT HAPPENS WHEN I HIT A BUMP OR SOME KIND OF IREGULAR FORM IN THE ROAD AND IT LAST FROM 5 SECONDS ALL THE WAY TO 35 SECONDS.

BOUGHT JEEP JL 2018 BRAND NEW, I HAVE NOTICED ON AT LEAST THREE OCCASIONS THAT WHEN DRIVING ON REGULAR ROADS, STREETS, AT SPEEDS OF 25-45 MPH AND COMING TO A COMPLETE STOP, AT A LIGHT, OR STOP SIGN, OR STOPPING FOR A CAR IN FRONT OF YOU, AFTER TAKING YOUR FOOT OFF THE GAS, APPLYING THE BRAKE, JUST BEFORE YOU COME TO A COMPLETE STOP THE JL LUNGES FORWARD, WHILE YOU ARE STILL ON THE BRAKE. COULD THIS BE SOMETHING WRONG WITH THE ECM?

ON 10-10-18 (15000MILES) I STARTED TO EXPERIENCE A DEATH WOBBLE THAT WAS GETTING WORSE VERY QUICKLY. I TOOK IT TO MY DEALERSHIP AND THEY HAD IT FOR 31 DAYS. THEY SAID IT WAS A PROBLEM IN ONE OF MY TIRES. I DROVE IT 200 MORE MILES AND IT STARTED AGAIN. I CALLED THEM BACK AND THEY TOLD ME THAT CRYSTLER SAID THERE WAS NO FIX FOR IT AND IT WAS STILL SAFE. AS IT CONTINUED TO GET WORSE, I CALLED CRYSTLER, AND THEY HAD THEIR TECH REACH OUT TO MY DEALERSHIP (TOOK 3 WEEKS). THEY SAID THEY NEEDED TO INSTALL AN AFTER MARKET STABALIZER BAR, WHICH THEY DID - AND AS I DROVE AWAY AND ON TO THE INTERSTATE THE JEEP WENT VIOLENTLY OUT OF CONTROL AND I WAS ALMOST HIT BY 4-5 OTHER VEHICLES ON THE INTERSTATE. I WAS ALMOST KILLLED. I DROVE RIGHT BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP AND...

MY ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL SERVICE LIGHT CONTINUES TO COME ON, EVEN AFTER SEVERAL REPAIRS AND SOFTWARE UPDATES.

RADIO SCREEN SHOWS "DISPLAY HOT" VERY OFTEN. ENTIRE DASHBOARD IS EXTREMELY HOT TO THE TOUCH. IF YOU TOUCH THE VENTS, THE HEATED VENT WILL BURN YOUR FINGER. THERE IS A BURNING RUBBER SMELL.

WHILE IN MOTION AT UP TO 50 MPH, ON CITY STREETS, ESC WARNING LIGHT AND CONTACT DEALER MESSAGE LIT UP ON DASHBOARD. STEERING REQUIRES NUMEROUS CORRECTIONS TO STAY ON PATH IN LANE.

INTERMITTENT LOSS OF POWER STEERING AND/OR SEIZING. UPON DRIVING TO EXIT HIGHWAY AND GET TO DEALERSHIP ENGINE INDICATOR LIGHT CAME ON AND EVENTUALLY JEEP STOPPED DEAD WHILE DRIVING. COULD NOT BE PUT IN NEUTRAL TO MOVE OFF OF ROAD AND WOULD NOT RESTART AT ALL.*DT CONSUMER STATED AUTO WINDOWS WOULD NOT WORK ALTHOUGH THE CHILD LOCKS WERE DISENGAGED. RECEIVED RECALLED OCT. 5TH 2018 JUST AFTER CONSUMER PURCHASED THE VEHICLE WITH MILAGE OF LESS THAN 1200. UPDATED 1/30/18*JB

SOON AFTER PURCHASING MY 2018 JL WRANGLER IN APRIL I BEGAN EXPERIENCING STEERING ISSUES. WHEN VEERING LEFT OR RIGHT TO CHANGE LANES, TAKE A CURVE, ETC. THE STEERING WHEEL WOULD 'LOCK' UP AND I'D NEED BOTH HANDS TO PULL IT BACK TO KEEP THE JEEP IN MY LANE. IT ONLY LASTS FOR A FEW SECONDS. I HAD RECEIVED NOTIFICATION THAT IT WAS TIME FOR MY FIRST MAINTENANCE APPOINTMENT AFTER PURCHASING THE JEEP, SO I CALLED TO SCHEDULE THAT AND ALSO TOLD THEM ABOUT THE STEERING ISSUE. ONE DAY PRIOR TO THE APPOINTMENT, MY DASHBOARD ALERT NOTIFIED ME TO "SERVICE THE ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL". SINCE I ALREADY HAD THE APPOINTMENT, I KNEW THIS COULD BE ADDRESSED AT THAT TIME. THEN A FEW DAYS LATER I RECEIVED THE SAFETY RECALL U48 FOR STEERING INTERMEDIATE SHAFT. I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP AND LET THEM KNOW THAT I HAD RECEIVED THE RECALL NOTICE AND THAT...

MY JEEP HAS BEEN DRIFTING AND STEERING HAS BEEN AWFUL ON HIGHWAY, ESC AND SERVICE LIGHTS CAME ON. ALL WELDS UNDER THE VEHICLE ARE ABSOLUTELY HORRIBLE, AND I ABSOLUTELY DO NOT FEEL SAFE RISKING MY LIFE AND MY CHILD'S LIFE IN THIS VEHICLE WITH WELDS AND COMPONENTS THAT LOOK AS IF THEY WILL BREAK OR FAIL AT ANY MOMENT

ABOUT A WEEK AND HALF AGO I GOT IN MY VEHICLE AND TURNED THE VEHICLE ON (STILL IN PARK) WHEN I RECEIVED TWO WARNING/SERVICE ALERTS. FIRST WAS, "SERVICE ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL", AND SECOND, "STOP/START UNAVAILABLE SERVICE STOP/START SYSTEM". FYI, THE VEHICLE HAS ONLY BEEN IN MY POSSESSION FOR A FEW MONTHS, SOMETHING LIKE THIS SHOULDN'T HAPPEN. I HAVE ATTACHED THE IMAGES OF THE WARNINGS.

STEERING WANDERS RIGHT AND LEFT AND IS VERY LOOSE AND LACKS CONTROL TO BRING IT BACK WHILE IN MOTION. PARTICULARLY BAD WHEN TURNING
