2018 JEEP WRANGLER Wheels Problems

MY VEHICLE HAS THE "DEATH WOBBLE" ON THE HIGHWAY AT ANY SPEEDS ABOVE 55 MPH. IF I HIT A SMALL BUMP ON THE ROAD, SUCH AS A HIGHWAY JOINT, MY STEERING WHEEL SHAKES VIOLENTLY AND UNCONTROLLABLY AND MY WHEELS ALSO UNCONTROLLABLY VIBRATE. I AM UNABLE TO CONTROL THE VEHICLE WHEN THIS HAPPENS AND IMMEDIATELY TRY TO SLOW DOWN AND HOLD ONTO THE STEERING WHEEL AS HARD AS I CAN.

UA5/NHTSA 18V-675 TRACK BAR WELD RECALL. I HAD THE REQUIRED INSPECTION DONE TWO WEEKS AGO, BUT DEALER WON'T DO THE WELDING. I HAVE BEEN TRYING TO MAKE JEEP CUSTOMER SERVICE MAKE THE LOCAL DEALER FIX THIS VERY SERIOUS ISSUE, BUT NOTHING HAPPENS. I'VE EVEN TRIED A DEALER 1 HOUR 40 MINUTE DRIVE FROM ME HERE IN ARIZONA, THEY WON'T DO IT EITHER.

I WAS DRIVING STRAIGHT AT A SPEED OF 65 MILES PER HOUR ON A BUSY, MAIN HIGHWAY. WITHOUT WARNING, THE JEEP WENT INTO A "DEATH WOBBLE" AND WAS UNABLE TO BE CONTROLLED. I WAS UNABLE TO STEER THE VEHICLE AND I WAS FORCED TO COAST TO A STOP ALONG THE SHOULDER. ONLY UPON BRINGING THE CAR TO A COMPLETE STOP DID THE THE VIOLENT SHAKING STOP. I WAS UNABLE TO DRIVE THE CAR PROPERLY AFTER THAT, AS THE STEERING WAS LOOSE AND NOT CORRECTLY CONTROLLED. I MADE IT TO A GAS STATION WHILE DRIVING SLOWLY AND WAS TOWED TO A DEALERSHIP FROM THERE.

ANY DESCRIPTION OF THE JEEP DEATH WOBBLE I HAVE READ IS EXACTLY WHAT I AM EXPERIENCING. I EXPERIENCED MY FIRST INCIDENT WHILE DRIVING MY 2018 JEEP WRANGLER UNLIMITED THAT I HAD PURCHASED TWO MONTHS EARLIER. AT HIGHWAY SPEED'S BETWEEN 70 AND 75 MILES AN HOUR IF THE VEHICLE HITS A BUMP OR A JOINT IN A BRIDGE WELL OFTEN BEGIN TO WOBBLE AND BECOME ALMOST VIOLENCE. IT WILL SUBSIDE PLAN DECREASING SPEED OR HOLDING THE SPEED FOR ABOUT A MILE OR SO. I BROUGHT IT IN TO THE JEEP SERVICE DEPARTMENT AND THEY SAID THEY SEE NOTHING WRONG WITH THE VEHICLE. I AM AT THE POINT NOW WHERE I CAN ALMOST MAKE IT HAPPEN ON COMMAND. MY NEXT STEP IS TO BRING THE MECHANIC IN FOR A TEST DRIVE WITH ME. FROM WHAT I'VE READ I EXPECT NOTHING TO BE DONE TO HELP ME OUT. I WILL ALSO NOTE THAT...

ON SEPTEMBER 14, 2018, I LEASED MY BRAND NEW JEEP JL SAHARA 2018. I SIGNED UP FOR JEEP APP AND IMMEDIATELY NOTICED A RECALL FOR MY CAR - 2018 JL TRACK BAR WELD, RAISING CONCERN. ON OCTOBER 21, 2018, WITH LESS THAN 1000 MILES, I WAS DRIVING ON LOCAL HIGHWAY AT @ 60MPH, HIT A BUMP AND MY ENTIRE STEERING/FRONT OF CAR BEGAN VIOLENTLY SHAKING. I IMMED. SLOWED DOWN TO HOPE RE-ALIGN AND GAIN CONTROL OF STEERING/CAR. IT WAS THE MOST FRIGHTENING EXPERIENCE AS I WAS GOING 60, HAD TO SLOW TO 35, WHILE OTHERS WERE SPEEDING UP BEHIND ME, IN ADDITION TO BEING SCARED & FEELING UNSAFE IN AN OUT OF CONTROL CAR. I CALLED JEEP DOWNINGTOWN IMMED. ON 10/22 TO BRING CAR IN THAT WEEK - 10/26. I LOOKED IT UP AND CLEARLY IS THE KNOWN ISSUE CALLED THE "DEATH WOBBLE". ON 10/25, AGAIN ON HIGHWAY @ 65-70...

DEATH WOBBLE!!! MY BRAND NEW JEEP WITH ONLY 9400 MILES ON HER GOES INTO SUCH AN ALMOST UNCONTROLLABLE SHAKE WHEN ON HIGHWAY AFTER I HIT A BUMP. MY SPEED IS AT APPROX 65-70. DEALER TELLING ME NOT 'THEIR PROBLEM'

MY 2018 JEEP WRANGLER JL EXPERIENCED THE JEEP "DEATH WOBBLE" ON THE FREEWAY AT SPEEDS ABOVE 60 MPH AFTER RUNNING OVER MINOR PAVEMENT IMPERFECTIONS. THE WOBBLE WAS SO SEVERE EACH TIME I HAD TO PULL OFF THE FREEWAY ONTO THE BERM AND COME TO A COMPLETE STANDSTILL FOR THE WOBBLE TO STOP. THE WOBBLE OCCURRED FOUR TIMES IN THREE DAYS. I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE ON 03/30/2018. THE DEATH WOBBLE MANIFESTED IN EARLY OCTOBER, 2018. I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER FOR INSPECTION WITHIN A WEEK. THE ONLY PROBLEM DISCOVERED WAS THE TIRES WERE ALL OUT OF BALANCE. THE DEALER BALANCED THE TIRES. TODAY IS NOVEMBER 20. SO FAR, THE DEATH WOBBLE HAS NOT REOCCURRED.

WE BOUGHT THIS JEEP SUV IN MAY 2018 AND FROM THE ACQUISITION DATE WE NOTICED A PRONOUNCED AND DANGEROUS SHAKING OF THE WHEELS, STEERING WHEEL. AND BODY OF THE VEHICLE EVERY TIME A ROAD BUMP OR UNEVEN PAVEMENT IS ENCOUNTERED WHEN DRIVING 55 MPH AND ABOVE. FOR THE SHAKING TO STOP WE HAVE TO SLOW TO UNSAFE SPEEDS BELOW 50 MPH ON THE HIGHWAY.

VEHICLE HITS SMALL BUMP IN ROAD (HAPPENS WHILE ON SIDE STREETS AND HIGHWAYS) AND STEERING WHEEL/TIRES BEGIN TO SHAKE VIOLENTLY. MUST SLOW VEHICLE SIGNIFICANTLY TO STOP SHAKING. FEELS AS THOUGH I HAVE A FLAT TIRE OR A TIRE IS ABOUT TO COME LOOSE.

WHEN DRIVING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS (ABOUT 55MPH-70MPH) IF THE JEEP HITS A MINOR BUMP, IT WILL VIOLENTLY SHAKE. BOTH THE STEERING WHEEL, WHEELS AND THE ENTIRE CAR ARE AFFECTED. YOU CAN NOTICE THE VIOLENT SHAKING/VIBRATIONS FROM OUTSIDE THE CAR. THE ONLY WAY THE SHAKING STOPS IS BY SLOWING DOWN SIGNIFICANTLY. IT HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES SINCE I'VE HAD THE CAR, WHICH IS ONLY A FEW MONTHS OLD AND IS STOCK. NOTHING IS LIFTED OR MODIFIED.
