There is a lot of play in the steering at normal speeds. Also while driving down the road minor bumps make the car jart in either direction and when larger bumps are hit the vehicles steering wheel shakes violently back and fourth until I slow down. My wife stated that she looked in her rearview mirror as I was following he and she said it looked like the wheels were wobbling. The car is currently in the shop waiting to be repaired. They said the steering dampner needed replace, but from what I read that will just mask the problem for now

A very extreme vibration in the steering wheel occurs at certain times when an uneven road is encountered at highway speeds also known as death wobble. The steering damper was replaced and does not solve this issue. The vehicle must be pulled over to the emergency lane and a complete stop must occur before continuing on. Until this proses has been completed it feels like the vehicle is loosing control by the operator. This usually occurs at a speed of 45 miles an hour on up.

When driving at highway speed, approx 70 mph, and hitting a small bump in the road the steering column and interior of the car shook violently. (death wobble). I had to slow down rather quickly and was almost rear ended by the car behind me, . this happened prior and we brought it back to the dealer and they the replaced a part, but that obviously that did not fix the problem.the first time it happened my wife was driving and I told her it's just a Jeep and that is how they ride over bumps, but after it happened to me, I knew right away that was what she felt the first time! we brought the car to the dealership and they said it this is not the first time someone has complained about this. The car is at the dealership and we are not sure it will ever be fixed properly. She does not want to drive the car again

I had the Jeep in for service, the front end wobbled violently and it is hard to keep the Jeep going straight in the lane with one hand, two hands must be used! the dealership installed a new stabilizer shock to take care of the the front end wobble which seems to of helped. When going over bumps in the road at speeds above 55 miles an hour I can still feel the wobble but its dampened by the shock. The dealership flashed the ECM with an update for the steering, but in my opinion it did not fix the problem. I see this same problem on other Jeep all over the internet, and have also driven other 2018 Jeep Wrangler at other dealerships and they also have the same problem. It has to be something with the electric assist on the steering. I don't think this vehicle is safe to drive! I have a 19 year daughter who cant understand why I dont let her drive the vehicle! try to explain that to your daughter who thinks loves the vehicle. I do have a ref# 11164329

Too much play in the steering wheel, dead zone between 11:00 and 1:00. Have to drive with two hands on the wheel at all times to keep it in a straight line and feels dangerous at highway speeds. Dealership says column flash is up to date and is operating as designed. If that indeed is the case, then it's a bad design. Been waiting 8 months to hear of a fix but nothing as of 3/07/2019.

2 weeks ago my Chrysler advised the dealership to replace the steering damper after I experienced violent vibration in the wheel when hitting a bump on the highway going 70mph. Yesterday it happened again at only 63mph on the highway. Taking it back again to have it evaluated. The vehicle only has 4400 miles on it.

Steering wheel 'locked up' while negotiating a curve. Driving about 60-65. Mph. Had a hard time not driving off the roadway.

There's an inch of steering play, both left and right. Vehicle swerves and is difficult to maintain a single lane. Constantly having to correct steering and feels that if I were to over correct in an emergency situation I could easily lose control. Feels like I'm driving in high winds. Took vehicle to dealership day after it was purchased and they adjusted to the toe and reprogrammed the steering box. Feels slightly better, but still having same issues maintaining a lane. Doesn't matter if I'm driving at a low or higher rate of speed. Is most noticeable while driving straight, and not as noticeable while turning, but still noticeable.

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.

The steering wheel is shaking violently at high speeds at uneven surfaces after the replacement of the steering dumper and the software update still the car has the same problem.really hard to keep it straight on the highway, excess play on the steering wheel.not safe at all

Jeep attempted a second fix of the death wobble problem. By changing out the dampeners and extending some rod. Well it did help with the death wobble, if you hit certain bumps just right with the wheel turn, it still feels like there's a slight wobble, that is quickly corrected. After this second fix. My Jeep no longer rides like it used to. I find myself drifting more easily and the steering not as it was before

When traveling at speeds above 60 mph and a bump is hit or a bridge is crossed, the steering wheel, front tires, and front of the truck vibrates violently. Two steering dampers have been put on the Jeep which reduces the shaking for a short period of time before it returns.

- Chagrin Falls, OH, USA

Death wobble. Vehicle has been in twice to get fixed. Once for a month. Now we have less than 4000 miles on it and it is still there. We have a horrifying video also.

I have a Jeep Wrangler unlimited jl sport purchased in June of 2018. Just recently every time I get above 60-65 mph I get a massive amount of vibration also known as 'death wobble' this is happening at highway speeds and can start even if I dont hit a bump or pothole. The only way to get out of it is to brake hard to slow the vehicle down to stop it. Has possed a safety hazard to me because it makes me loose control of the vehicle as I cant turn out to move my vehicle to the side of the road. The death wobble is caused by a combination of items and this should be investigated to see wether a safety notice is needed.

- Lawrenceburg, IN, USA

At highway speeds (60-80mph) the vehicle shakes violently after going over a bump or deformity in the road. Has occurred on multiple occasions. Everything shakes not just the steering wheel. Lasts until vehicle speed reduces.

- Snohomish, WA, USA

When hitting a pothole, bridge connection, or other large bump at speeds of 60+ mph, the steering wheel and vehicle shake violently. This requires a drastic reduction of speed on the highway, along with tight control of the steering wheel. The speed reduction is potentially dangerous to you and other vehicles near you, let alone the violent shaking of the vehicle causing potential mechanical problems and human error. Quick fix at Jeep dealership replacing stabilizer acts as a band aid without any actual solution to the issue.

- Amesbury, MA, USA

At highway speeds, 3 times now the steering wheel begins to shake quite violently and impeded one's ability to control the car. This condition appears to last until speed is significantly reduced. The Jeep Wrangler 4 door is a 2018 with less than 6K miles.
