As I was driving this vehicle alone on route 910 in PA, I smelled a burning smell and the clutch seemed to have trouble shifting gears. I was driving approximately 40 mph, attempted to shift gears, heard a loud bang and saw fire at my feet, looked in the rear view mirror and saw fire in the back. I pulled the emergency break and jumped out of the car. It then burst into flames and incinerated the car with all my belongings in it.
I was driving on the freeway around 75 mph I-??m not sure what happened or why but the jeep started violently shaking back-and-forth I-??m not sure how to explain it. But I very easily could have lost control. Where I live there is snow and ice so I-??m not sure why that happened but would like to see if there-??s something I could check. Or if there-??s been a recall. Nobody was hurt thank God no lights came on. I was able to slow down the Jeep safely.
there was a recall for death wobble on steering, took it in, supposedly fixed. a month went by and wobble came back, took back to jeep, they said i needed new tires. (of course warranty was just getting ready to expire.) bought new tires, death wobble is getting worse and worse. if you hit a bump in road and your going 45mph, you have to try and stop vehicle it is shaking sooo bad. not fair i have to pay
The navigation/radio screen has delamination. At first, I thought it was just cosmetic. Starting in July of 2024, it started doing things independently, such as changing channels, the source, and switching between navigation and backup camera; on [XXX], it started turning on Bluetooth and calling 911. I can not turn it on because it continues to call 911. The vehicle only has 20,900 miles. The local dealership and Jeep are aware of the problem and have offered to repair it at a cost to me. This is a manufacture defect that needs to be fixed/recalled by Jeep. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)
Radiator overflow bottle leaks. Warning light only comes on after empty. Refill of antifreeze was necessary every two weeks or less depending on driving conditions. Also know of this happening with another vehicle of the same make/model owned by family member.

Incident date: [XXX], electrical problems causing loss of steering, 65 miles per hour, EXTREME action required to keep on road. 2018 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited Sport (4 door), 3.6L engine, bought new July 2018, Everett Washington. RPM and speedometer gauges went to zero, loss of power steering, all dashboard warning lights blinking on/off, digital speedometer only showed dashes (- - -) windshield wipers came on scraping bare hot window (outside air temperature 104 degree F), radiator fan went full on, engine kept running but miss-firing/rough, managed to get off freeway and stopped, turned off ignition for 5 minutes. On restart, all errors (except Check Engine Light) disappeared and car appeared normal, no stored warning messages. This is second occurrence. Picture is similar to my errors (it is from Jeep Forum, [XXX] Location: [XXX]. What is going to happen if I am off road and it dies" Or on a Los Angeles Freeway" I might be dead.

I had the common issue with Jeep -??18 wranglers called the -??death wobble-??. I read many articles saying it-??s common with jeeps from the 2018 era. One day I was driving and it stopped in the middle of the road. I couldn-??t accelerate or brake. I could not fully get the vehicle off a busy highway. I took it in before this to get it diagnosed and mechanics could not figure it out. After this incident I towed it to the dealership and they replaced my drive shaft because it was completely destroyed. I am now paying $2000 in repairs.
Jeep wrangler jl with 23,000 miles driving 55 mph. Jeep front end started shaking violently and brake pedal pulsating so that I could not brake or steer vehicle. Did Google search and this has been a major Jeep wrangler issue. As an engineer Jeep designers did not understand harmonic frequencies when designing or specificity front end design. This happened 3 times before Wisc. Cambridge service could replace front end steering component at $600 cost. Very dangerous on highway going 55 mph with no vehicle control. I believe you are aware of this issue and have failed your duty to force mfg to fix with a recall.
my vehicle has extremely bad death wobble, only 55 thousand miles on it. its a extreme safty hazard ! i just had my tires rotated and balanced and the problem is not any better ! once i hit 65 mph its shakes uncontrollably and i have to slow down to 40mph to get it to stop! that is extremely dangersous on a highway to be driving like this ! it has been like this since i got my car at 33,000 miles in august 2021
Cannot drive over 65 mph without Jeep shaking uncontrollably. This is not a problem with just me but 100-??s if not 1000-??s of others. JEEP NEEDS TO FIX THE PROBLEM!!!
While driving my daughter to daycare, the rear window spontaneously exploded. The vehicle was stopped at a traffic light. Our daughter was in the backseat in a rear facing car seat and she was inconsolable after the event due to the loud sound. We had had several issues with the read window. The defroster keeps coming off despite multiple attempts by several dealerships to repair. We then the window replaced in fall 2021 but the defroster kept detaching so we gave up and just accepted it the poor design. There are several reports on Jeep forums of spontaneous explosions similar to this and rear defroster detaching. None of this issues have resulted in a safety recall.
There has been a recall since February 2023 that has not been handled yet. I have yet to receive any information on how they are handling this recall that is a potential fire hazard. 10 months should be sufficient time to be in touch with consumers. I was told when I called the manufacturer that I could use my warranty. I will not use a warranty on a recalled issue.
Paint bubbling and Rust accumulation on all 4 doors and door hinges, hood and hood hinges and varius body panels. Jeep has been taken to a Jeep dealership and no further communication from Jeep on if this is going to be corrected or not. Engineers should know not to put steel and aluminum together without proper coatings or protections.
Was stopped at stop light jeep still running and all sudden neutral flashing and wouldn-??t shift back up into park at all. Had to disconnect battery wait 30 seconds and hook back up for it to shift into park-?? started it up and everything is now good. For now
I get a service shifter message and then vehicle steering wheel locks mid driving. Read it is the wiring harness. And is a repeats issue with jeep wrangler. My 2018 wrangler is at the dealership.
When I hit a bump of any size my Jeep starts shaking uncontrollably. The first time it happened I had a panic attack because I had no idea what was going on and feared for my life. I pulled to the right side of the road and came to a complete stop for it to stop shaking. Everyone-??s safety around me could me at risk including mine since sometimes I don-??t know when it-??ll happen and I can-??t take my hand off the steering wheel to try and see to move over to the right side of the road. It happens very often. First time was I believe in March 2023.
There is a missing weld on the lower passenger rear control arm bracket that looks like a manufacture defect. I recently started hearing a clanging noise and brought it to the mechanic. I was not put at risk of safety (for the tie being). The problem has been confirmed and looked at ONLY by a mechanic. There were no warning lights. How do i get the welding fixed? the dealer will not help me repair it.
