My vehicle has under 3000 miles. I have already taken it in once to see a dealer about this problem. When going 50mph or higher, after I hit a bump, my steer wheel will vibrate for a couple of seconds then stop. Twice now, after hitting a bump on the highway, going over 50 mph and surrounded by traffic, the steering wheel and the vehicle shook violently. The first time it lasted about 10 seconds. I immediately took to dealer and their paperwork says that the steering dampener was replaced. The second time just happened but luckily it only lasted 2 seconds. Both times it only stopped shaking after I slowed down under 50 mph while on a busy highway which has cars going 70 mph. This a major safety concern. I've been reading on forums and I'm not the only driver experiencing this. Please make this aware before someone gets injured or even killed due to this defect.
There's about a half second delay in the horn when pressing the center of the steering wheel. This could be a safety concern if you're trying to warn an unattentive motorist in a potential collision.
Currently I have two issues I believe my 2018 Wrangler jl to be experiencing. The first is a constant clicking noise coming from the undercarriage of the vehicle, mainly in the rear. This occurs at slow speeds (10mph or less). The dealer replaced my rear axle but to no avail. The second issue is that I do not believe I am able to fill my fuel tank to the proper capacity. ( have a 4-door jl) from 'low mileage' warning to full, typically I get about 16 gallons.
My Jeep is very dangerous. The Jeep will only drive ok if you drive on a L newly paved and totally flat surface. - when you hit a bump there is an extended vibration, questionable handling characteristics and the car literally jumps lane and moves side to side without having any control over the vehicle. It happens every time I drive and repeatedly each time I drive. The Jeep also has the Jeep death wobble - the crazy vibration of the whole car. Both issues are worse at higher speeds but when it happens you have absolutely no control over the car.. the front end vibrations transition into the vehicle jumping lanes and movement that varies in severity due to speeds. It is very scary and very dangerous. I have brought the car to the dealer and both the dealership and Chrysler's special regional tech have confirmed this issue. It happens while in motion, on any street, at any speed, whether driving straight or turning - it happens all the time, at any moment with no notice. It happens every day you drive the car so hard but I put in todays date bc you asked for a date. It did happen today for Chrysler special regional tech too. It also happens at all speeds but is worse at higher speeds.
I go and get in my Jeep, it's raining a little turn on defrost and the windshield cracks, just sitting still, it's not snowing sleeting or freezing rain just raining

Three times within the last 2 weeks, I have been on the expressway and the car started shaking violently side to side. Each time I was between 60 and 75 mph the shaking stopped when I got down under 45 mph. It felt as if the car was going to shake apart. I have not made any changes or alterations to the car since I purchased it. I have an appointment for it to be looked at on Tuesday. It is a jl model
Upon hitting a bump of road defect at highway speeds, the vehicle wobbles uncontrollably until such time as the speed is reduced, often to unsafe limits on the same highway. The issue has occurred on various occasions, too many to list below.
This new vehicle was sold to me with open recall on track bar frame welds that they never told us about the dealer had me drive it back to them which was S 3 hour drive which I did but I'm very upset when I found out that they could be fined and the dealer put my whole family at possible risk twice home and back because of there mistake I do believe that there holding documents from being finalized with this car but am not sure
Jeep was recalled in October over a track bar weld issue where some vehicles we improperly welded. Mine had to go to the dealer 3X as the dealer was unsure what to do. Was told it was fine. Just received another recall that the recall may not have been done properly and will need to be reinspected. I have 0 faith in the safety of this Jeep.
When driving at 60 mph on highway, and crossing over a bridge, the front of the Jeep, and steering wheel started shaking very badly. It seemed like the front end was going to fall apart. I had to slow down to about 35 mph for it to stop. The roads were clear, but it was below freezing out.
Driving on the 355 tollway driving 76 mph, I went over a bridge that had a slope (bump) and the Jeep started shaking violently. The steering wheel was uncontrollable. Being in the middle lane I had many "near misses" of other cars potentially hitting me. I let off the gas peddle and had to pull over before the shaking stopped. Being the family car, I am no longer driving in fear of an accident may occur. I contacted the service department but am hesitant to drive the Jeep there.
During highway driving, between 70-75 mph, when I hit a defect in the road, the car will begin to shake violently. Sometimes it stops when I decelerate, but other times, I have to pull off on to the shoulder. My Jeep was leased in August 2018. I first noticed the shaking in November. I have alerted my dealership's service department.
2018 Jeep Wrangler jl. Front end will shake violently on occasion when going over 55 mph- has happened 4 times in the last week. I initially thought I had a flat tire and it feels like the tires are going to fall off. It will continue until vehicle slows down which is difficult to do on the highway!! this is a stock vehicle with only 2800 miles on it. I've seen others describe it as a "death wobble" and it's definitely scary when it happens. Seems like others are having the same issue and nothing is being done about it. I've owned 6 Jeep and have never experienced this.
Steering is loose and unresponsive, Jeep wonders into lanes on highways, hard to keep straight, constant steering wheel input needed to maintain a straight line at highway speeds, after hitting some pumps at highway speeds the front wheels shake and the steering wheel occilates, in some case vilantly causeing temporarily lose in control of Jeep. Can turn steering wheel several inches in both directions without the wheels turning.unknown as to what the problem is, I have been pulled over by police who thought I was a drunk driver due to not maintaining a straight line. Almost involved in an accident with my children in car, hit a bump at highway speed and the wheels shook and steering wheel occilated and could not maintain my lane, was pulled over by driver in other car as we thought we had struck but luckily not, my dealer has already replaced sevaral parts but they cannot fix problem...still at dealer with no hope of being fixed
Vehicle's front end shakes uncontrollably when you hit a bump at high speeds. You almost have to stop in order to stop the shaking. It has been occurring continuously since I got the car. Jeep has ordered parts for the alleged remedy, but they are on backorder - which means a lot of this is going on.
