RECALL unable to be remedied by Manufacturer despite numerous attempts at two different dealers. Concerned for my safety as well as the safety of my family and elderly parent I care for. "Fuel starvation may result in an unexpected loss of motive power, which can cause a vehicle crash without prior warning."
While driving the car randomly starts to violently shake (also known as death wobbles ). Steering is effected until car is almost brought to a complete stop. The car is very hard to keep on the road and is extremely dangerous. There was a recall and issued which I brought it into the dealership for but it has been 3 months and they still do not have the parts to fix it.
2021 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited 4xe has now lost total power twice and had extreme 'Death Wobble' issues. In 08/2021, at approx 1,400 miles, the vehicle lost all power and control on the highway while going speed limit at 70 mph. The screen reported issue with electronic stability control system. It was a dangerous situation trying to move to the side of the highway with no power nor power steering. Once on the side, multiple warning lights were on and vehicle would not start but control lights remained on. I called the dealership/service department of South Point Dodge and their recommendation was to disconnect the battery connection to reset. I was driving from Houston so I was desperate to get the car to start as my family was waiting outside of the car on the highway as well. I reconnected battery terminal and was able to restart the vehicle. At around 12k miles, I started experiencing extreme Jeep Wobble aka 'Death Wobble.' This occurred often while doing speed limit between 55-65 mph/higher on the highway and if vehicle hit a bump. The only way to stop the shaking was to slow down by braking to approximately 35-40 mph. In 02/2023, dealer changed out the 'dampners' and did update for electrical recall. On 03/14/2023, at approx 23k miles, the vehicle again lost complete power, would not restart and multiple warning lights came on. Control panel reported Electronic Stability Control Issue, Fuel Door Open when it physically was not, Vehicle in Drive while physically in park. Vehicle would not restart. Disconnected the battery terminal but this did not correct the issue. Vehicle was manually put into neutral to put onto tow truck. This vehicle has caused several life threatening concerns. Despite the recall fixes, the same issues continue to be present and long term solution is not available at this time. Had I known this Jeep would have such a dangerous electrical system that cannot be fixed, I wouldn't have purchased such an expensive, dangerous, worthless car.

My Jeep steering is extremely loose, and very difficult to keep between the lines on the road. If the wind is blowing, it is nearly impossible. My biggest concern however, is the wobble that occurs when on the expressway. This has now happened to me five times while traveling on the expressway at around 70-75 miles per hour. The Jeep begins to wobble back and forth and you literally loose all control of steering. The only way to get it to stop is to push on the brakes and decelerate, but it is terrifying.
While driving on the highway I drove over a bridge bump and the truck started to wobble uncontrollably forcing me to slow down to 30 miles per hour before it stopped. This happened two times. We brought it to the dealership who replaced the steering damper and it happened again so they adjusted the camber of the alignment and said it should fix the issue. I have an email from the dealership where we purchased the jeep and the sales manager emailed us back indicating that what the dealership did to correct the issue is correct, but that it is not a permanent fix and that they know of the issue and are not sure how to correct it.
Jeep dealer Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram FIAT of Manhattan (678 11th Ave New York, NY 10019-7047) has to be added to the list of Jeep dealerships refusing (or unable) to assist with safety recalls ZB7 and ZD8. We will keep filing complaints with NHTSA until all Jeep dealerships start to assist Jeep drivers with these federally required and mandated repairs.
Manufacturer Recall Number ZB7 NHTSA Recall Number 22V-865 No JEEP dealerships around NY State (even the Oneonta NY dealership who sold me the actual vehicle) seem willing to assist and schedule a repair. How do I file a complaint?
On Jan. 27, 2023, I was driving my 2021 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited (31,440 miles on the odometer) on the interstate, going about 65-70 mph in high volume traffic. Suddenly my right front tire started wobbling like it was going to fall off! I have never experienced anything like this. I was extremely frightened, fearing I might have a wreck or cause someone else to wreck if control of my Jeep were lost. My heart beat sped up, my hands clinched the steering wheel. I was able to slow down and the wobble went away but my anxiety did not go away. It happened about 4 more times that day on the interstate. I was traveling and concerned about my safety and that of others. I was also concerned about what was happening with my Jeep, how could I fix it, COULD it be fixed, and how was I going to pay for it. I thought the front end of my Jeep needed to be re-aligned so I took it to the dealership I bought it from, they inspected it and said it did not alignment. Said the Jeep had developed a "wobble." I was told that parts to fix this issue were not available in the U.S. and they had no ETA on when/if a part would be available. They took my phone number and said they would call if something changed. Now I have a Jeep that I am afraid of - actually terrified of. I only drive on the city streets and stay away from the interstate. My life has been limited in so many way because of this issue. I was not issued any paperwork on this problem.
After entering the highway and going 60MPH+ the vehicle began shaking like crazy. I thought maybe it was road construction causing the shaking. I switched lanes but the shaking continued. I slowed down and it stopped. I sped back up again over 60MPH and it continued. The seat belt locked so that I could barely move. After a search online, this is being categorized as -??death wobble-?? and it-??s stated it occurs once the car has a certain amount of miles. Despite this, I don-??t see a recall for it. Since this happens only at a high rate of speed, it seems very unsafe and people should be warned.
Took 2021 Jeep wrangler rubicon 4xe for loss of motive power to victorville jeep California, dealer performed recall when I picked the vehicle I received my vehicle with a check engine light which was bot present at moment of dealership taking vehicle in.

Jeep has a seriously dangerous issue when you hit a bump on the highway, other online call it a -??death wobble-??, extremely dangerous, started happened around 21000 miles on ours. Only way to get it to stop shaken is to stop the vehicle. I have several videos of this occurring and would be happy to send them, this app won-??t allow videos to be uploaded. I called the dealer to have the issue looked at, no recall has been issued yet according to our dealer.
I am now on my 4th new windshield. I've owned my Jeep for less than 2 years, the last two windshields had to be replaced within 3 months of each other. I understand that Jeeps have a reputation for windows easily cracking, but the manner in which they crack and spread is terrifying. It will start as a small chip and then quickly escalate to a spider web crack that rapidly expands in length. A lot of times this happens on a highway (chip of rock will hit the windshield or edge of it) and as I'm driving to get where I need to go, the crack just crawls across - seems very dangerous. Typically I am not in a situation where I can stop - just need to head home and then call for a replacement.
While driving down the highway, my Jeep started to violently jump. I had to completely come to a stop in the middle of the highway before my jeep would stop jumping. I was going about 65 in heavy traffic which was very scary.
I have a 2021 Jeep 4xe that suddenly stopped traveling 50-60 mph. I lost power, power steering, breaks and acceleration all at once on a busy multi lane road. I had more than half a tank or gas and 83% battery and had an oil change maybe 1000 miles ago. My car went from high speed to stopped in a matter of 3 seconds giving me no warning lights until it happened. I managed to use the downhill I was on and all the arm power I had to get to a side street. After 15 mins it started working again, but I had tt towed to a dealership to check out. It shows on here I have the odometer recall outstanding, but I actually have that one completed. I lost my odometer around 13000 miles driven and went approx 3 months without one as the dealerships had no idea how to fix or order the part.

I was driving down the freeway, came upon traffic which caused me to come to a stop. When the traffic cleared and I put my foot on the gas, the jeep refused to go forward and stalled out. I had just enough power to get to a safe area on the side of the freeway. My jeep flashed the D on the gear shifter and I got a notification to put the car in "park." On the control panel screen it showed "check charging system" and "check transmission." It also showed a message showing blind spot alert was disabled and the battery light. I had nearly a full tank of gas when this happened and at least 34% of electric left to drive on electric mode when this occurred. My Uconnect app showed the message "charging fault error has occurred" when this happened on the freeway.
mY jEEP WRANGLER HAS BEEN TAKEN TO THE DEALERSHIP SERVICE DEPARTMENT A TOTAL OF 4 TIMES FOR SEVERE SHAKING PROBLEMS WITH THE STEERING WHEEL COMPONENT MY CAR SHAKES UNCONTROLLABLY WHEN the car reaches or goes OVER 40 MILES AN HOUR. The whole vehicle shakes including tires and wheels, it has gotten to the point where shaking will not stop at all unless I bring the car to a complete stop. they have made zero attempts to diagnose the car the service department does not even test drive the vehicle at all the miles in when taken to the dealership are the same miles out when I pick up the car I'm terrified I'm going to eventually get into an accident I have no other choice but to drive the car as is my only means of transportation. The fourth repair didn't happen until 6.13.2022 I waited on a part for three months. the part was ordered back on 3.22.2022
While driving my vehicle and going about 30-40mph, the dashboard began flashing and telling me there was a charging system failure. At that point I could no longer accelerate and the "D" light on the gear shift was blinking. After putting the car in park, it would not allow me to change the shift gear to a different position. The Jeep app on my phone alerted me that my vehicle could not charge which was strange because I was driving and not charging at all. I had to pull over in the middle of a very busy intersection and turn off my car and turn it back on just to get it going again. When I turned it on, everything was back to normal and I was able to drive. This is very dangerous and luckily I was not on the highway and going 60mph when this happened or it could have been catastrophic.
4 times I have started my 2021 Jeep 4xe and the engine light came on and wouldn-??t shift out of park. It would take around 10 minutes and numerous attempts turning it off and on to get it to shift out of park. Once while driving on the highway the Jeep shutdown at 60 mph slowly down to 30 mph suddenly. There was a warning on the dash that said to put the car in park and then odd. I pulled over to the side of the road to have the Jeep locked in park once shut the system off. Another time after having gotten it back from the service department at the dealership for the lock up issue, the Jeep wouldn-??t accelerate higher than 45 mph.
