2018 Jeep Wrangler complaints

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2018 JEEP WRANGLER. THE CONTACT NOTICED THAT THE FRONT WINDSHIELD WAS CRACKED ON BOTH THE DRIVER AND PASSENGER SIDES. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO LARRY ROESCH CHRYSLER JEEP DODGE RAM (200 W GRAND AVE, ELMHURST, IL 60126, (630) 333-9121) WHERE IT WAS DETERMINED THAT THE WINDSHIELD NEEDED TO BE REPAIRED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 30,000.

STEERING WANDERS TERRIBLY SINCE THE DAY I BROUGHT IT HOME. BEEN BACK TO DEALER 2X AND CONTACTED FCA 2X. DEALER RECOMMENDED ADDING DUAL STEERING STABILIZER SO I DID- NO DIFFERENCE. I HAVE CHANGED THE DRAG LINK - NO DIFFERENCE. YOU SIMPLY CANNOT STAY IN YOUR LANE WITH THIS VEHICLE.

THE VEHICLE WILL UNEXPECTEDLY PULL TO THE LEFT WHILE DRIVING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. THIS OCCURS AFTER A FEW MINUTES OF HIGHWAY DRIVING AND WILL WORSEN THE LONGER THE VEHICLE IS DRIVEN. I HAVE DEMONSTRATED THIS TO MULTIPLE DEALERSHIP SERVICE ADVISERS AND ALL ATTEMPTS TO FIX THE ISSUE HAVE NOT WORKED. THE LAST ATTEMPT A FIX BY A DIFFERENT DEALERSHIP I WAS TOLD CHRYSLER DOES NOT HAVE A FIX FOR THIS AT THIS TIME. I BELIEVE THIS HAS THE POTENTIAL TO CAUSE AN ACCIDENT ESPECIALLY IN POOR ROAD CONDITIONS.

LOOSING COMMUNICATION WITH BODY CONTROL MODULE CODE U0141 . STARTED HAPPENING AT 4300 MILES. DRIVE AROUND 25 MILES AT 70 TO 75 AND ALL GAUGES FLASH AND CYCLE. TRANSMISSION GOES INTO LIMP MODE. AND IF YOU SHUT IT OFF IT WON'T START OR CRANK OVER UNTIL IT COOLS OFF. TOOK IN TO DEALER FOR WTY REPAIR, THEY REPLACED THE FUSE BOX , BUT THAT DIDN'T FIX IT. THEY TRIED AGAIN AND GIVE UP ON IT. SAID LIGHT BAR AND WINCH VOIDED THE WTY. WHICH BOTH CONNECT AT BATTERY AND WINCH HAS NEVER BEEN USED AND LIGHT BAR VERY SELDOM. IT HAS 8300 MILES ON IT NOW IT MAY GO 2 MONTHS AND BE FINE OR IT MAY DO IT 3 TIMES IN ONE DAY. LAST TIME IN SHOP WAS 2/27/19 THEY HAD IT FOR 10 DAYS THAT'S WHEN THEY DECIDED IT WAS ACCESSORIES AND NO WTY. IT WENT ALMOST 2000 MILES NOT ACTING UP UNTIL TODAY 5/25/19.

THE 2018 JEEP WRANGLER UNLIMITED JL HAS AN ISSUE WITH "LOOSE STEERING" OR " OVER CORRECTING". WHEN TRYING TO KEEP THE JEEP IN A STRAIGHT LINE IT TENDS TO "DRIFT". CAUSING THE DRIVER TO CONSTANTLY MOVE THE STEERING WHEEL. IT IS WORSE IN AREAS WITH HILLS OR ROADS WITH MANY TURNS. DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY IN SPEEDS IN EXCESS OF 40 MPH POSES AN ISSUE WHEN GOING AROUND A CURVE. IF THE DRIVER TURNS THE WHEEL EVEN THE SLIGHTEST BIT TOO CLOSE YOU CAN END UP IN A WALL.

THE JEEP WANDERS ALL OF THE ROAD AND IS IMPOSSIBLE TO KEEP IT GOING IN A STRAIGHT LINE. HIGHWAY SPEEDS ARE WHEN ITS THE WORST. YOU WEAR YOURSELF OUT TRYING TO CONSTANTLY CORRECT THE STEERING. VERY UNEASY FEELING. TOWING A SMALL TRAILER IS AN EVEN MORE DIFFICULT FEAT, AND FEELS LIKE A CRASH IS JUST AROUND THE CORNER.

DEATH WOBBLE, AROUND 70MPH A BUMP CAN CAUSE VIOLENT SHAKING OF THE STEERING WHEEL. ONLY STOPS WHEN YOU SLOW DOWN TO 40MPH OR LESS, MAKING IT VERY DANGEROUS WHEN YOU ARE ON THE HIGHWAY.

WHILE TRAVELING ON THE FREEWAY AT SPEEDS FROM 65-75 MY JEEP WILL START TO 'DEATH WOBBLE' WHEN YOU HIT A BUMP OR UNEVEN SPOT ON THE ROAD REQUIRING ME TO DECELERATE OR COME TO A COMPLETE STOP. MY VEHICLE HAS BEEN BACK TO THE DEALER 5 TIMES SINCE MY PURCHASE IN NOV OF 2018. FIVE DIFFERENT THINGS HAVE BEEN REPLACED AND ONE OF THE DAMPENERS HAS BEEN REPLACED TWICE NOW. IT'S BEEN AT THE DEALER FOR 3 WEEKS STRAIGHT NOW. CHRYSLER SAYS THAT THERE IS NOTHING THAT THEY CAN DO AT THIS TIME AND REFERRED ME BACK TO THE DEALER, THE DEALER SUGGESTED I GET AN ATTORNEY SPECIALIZING IN THE LEMON LAW. I HAVE DONE SO AND ALSO WILL BE TALKING TO THE FEDERAL TRADE COMMISSION. SO FAR I HAVE LOST A DAYS WORK AND FIVE 30 MILE TRIPS TO AND FROM THE DEALERSHIP ONLY TO FIND OUT THAT THE PROBLEM STILL PERSISTS. IT'S VERY DANGEROUS TO DRIVE. THE DEALERSHIP SAID THAT THE NEW ONES WILL SOMETIMES HAVE A LITTLE 'WIGGLE' TO THEM AT TIMES AND I INFORMED HIM THAT IF I HAD KNOW THIS I WOULD NOT HAVE BOUGHT IT HAD I KNOW THIS. I AM VERY UPSET WITH CHRYSLER AT THE MOMENT . I HAVE NEVER HAD A PROBLEM OUT OF MY 2015 JEEP WRANGLER SAHARA UNLIMITED OR MY 2009 JEEP ALI WRY. I AM VERY DISAPPOINTED IN JEEP.

RANDOM TIMES VEHICLE WON'T START,EVERYTHING TURNS ON BUT ENGINE WON'T TURN OVER. WILL EVENTUALLY START AFTER SOMETIME. HAPPENS AFTER DRIVING VEHICLE AND PARKING IT. HAVE READ ONLINE THAT THIS IS HAPPENING TO OTHERS. SO FAR HAS HAPPENED 4 TIMES IN ABOUT A MONTH.

STEERING WHEEL GOT LOCKED IN PLACE GOING AT HIGH SPEEDS ON FREEWAY. HAS HAPPENED ABOUT 3 TIMES NOW. FIRST TIME THIS HAPPENED VEHICLE WAS GOING ABOUT 65 MPH ON A CURVE. ALSO, HAS EXCESSIVE SWERVING WHEN VEHICLE IS ON HIGHWAY.

STEERING WHEEL PROBLEMS. CAR HAD LESS THAN 200 MILES IS HARD TO STAY IN STRAIGHT LINE. TOO MUCH AND EXCESSIVE STEERING. DANGEROUS TO DRIVE.

LOOSE STEERING PLAY IN WHEEL ALWAYS CORRECTING TO STAY ON ROAD

VIOLENT STEERING WHEEL SHAKING AND FRONT END STEERING SHAKING WHEN DRIVING OVER ROAD IMPERFECTIONS OVER 45 MPH. LOOSE AND WANDERING STEERING RESULTING IN MULTIPLE STEERING CORRECTIONS TO REMAIN STRAIGHT IN LINE ON A FLAT STRAIGHT AND LEVELED SURFACE. WRANGLER WAS IN DEALERSHIP, NOT FIXED, THEY SEEMED LIKE THEY DIDN'T WANT TO DEAL WITH THE ISSUE AND THEY ARE AWARE OF THIS ISSUE ON OTHER NEW JEEPS. THIS ISSUE HAS BEEN ONGOING SINCE I BOUGHT THE JEEP.

AT 60-65 MPH ON TWO LANE ROAD I HAVE TO PUT CONSTANT INPUT INTO THE STEERING TO KEEP THE CAR TRACKING IN THE LANE. THE PLAY IN THE STEERING IS EXCESSIVE. I HAVE HAD THE VEHICLE IN SERVICE 3 TIMES BUT IT HAS NOT BEEN REPAIRED. I WAS INFORMED ON MY LAST SERVICE SPOT. THAT THEY WERE AWARE OF A PROBLEM BUT HAD NO SOLUTION AT THIS TIME.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2018 JEEP WRANGLER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE STEERING WHEEL HAD BEEN LOOSE AND UNRESPONSIVE. THE DEALER CHARLIE'S DODGE CHRYSLER JEEP RAM (725 ILLINOIS AVE MAUMEE, OH 43537, (419) 893-0241) INDICATED THAT THE SAFETY PROBLEM WAS A KNOWN ISSUE FROM THE MANUFACTURER BUT THAT A PERMANENT REMEDY HAD NOT BEEN DETERMINED. THE DEALER REPLACED THE STEERING DAMPER HOWEVER, THE FAILURE RECURRED AND THE SECOND REPAIR WAS TO REPLACE THE STEERING GEAR BOX, THEY UPDATED THE TRAC BAR AND REALIGNED THE VEHICLE BUT THE UNSTABLE STEERING CONDITION CONTINUED. A DISTRICT MGR. AND THE SERVICE CENTER MGR. TEST DROVE THE VEHICLE, PROVIDED NO TECHNICAL GUIDANCE AS THE DISCRETION WAS FROM THE MANUFACTURER TO DETERMINE A REMEDY. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED YET. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE, HAD ISSUED A RECALL CAMPAIGN FOR NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 18V343000 (STEERING) HOWEVER THE CONTACT WAS UNCERTAIN IF THE FAILURE WAS RELATED TO THE RECALL BECAUSE IT WAS EXCLUDED BY THE MANUFACTURER. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE 245.

VIOLENT STEERING WHEEL SHAKING AND FRONT END STEERING SHAKING WHEN DRIVING OVER ROAD IMPERFECTIONS OVER 60 MPH. LOOSE AND WANDERING STEERING RESULTING IN MULTIPLE STEERING CORRECTIONS TO REMAIN STRAIGHT IN LINE ON A FLAT STRAIGHT AND LEVELED SURFACE. WRANGLER WAS IN DEALERSHIP FOR MORE THAN 40 DAYS TOTAL FOR BACKORDERED PARTS AND REPAIRS. WRANGLER PICKED UP TODAY AFTER 3RD VISIT. STEERING DAMPER REPLACED FOR 2ND TIME. DRIVER SIDE SHOCK ABSORBER REPLACED. VIOLENT SHAKING HAS BEEN RESOLVED SO FAR. BUT LOOSE AND INDIRECT STEERING IS STILL PRESENT. VIDEOS AVAILABLE UPON REQUEST.

ISSUE WITH THE UCONNECT OPERATING SYSTEM. SYSTEM CONTINUALLY FREEZES AND FAILS TO RESPOND WHILE DRIVING. BACKUP CAMERA FREEZES AND AT TIMES DOES NOT TURN ON WHEN BACKING. APPLE CAR PLAY AND ANDROID AUTO MALFUNCTIONS. THE CALLS STAY CONNECTED BUT DROP FROM THE IN-CAR AUDIO BACK TO THE PHONE FORCING YOU TO UNPLUG AND THEN PLUG BACK IN THE PHONE WHILE DRIVING. SYSTEM OPERATES MOST OF THE CARS ELECTRICAL FUNCTIONS. BEEN IN FOR SERVICE 3 TIMES AND HAVE SHOWN PROOF OF MALFUNCTION AND CHRYSLER AND DEALER REFUSE TO REPLACE UNIT. CHRYSLER SAYS THE PHONES AND CARRIERS ARE THE ISSUE. SYSTEM FAILS WITH BOTH IPHONE 7 ON VERIZON AND SAMSUNG NOTE 8 ON T-MOBILE. IT IS ILLEGAL TO OPERATE A MOTOR VEHICLE IN GEORGIA AND USE YOUR CELL PHONE AT THE SAME TIME AND THE SYSTEM FAILURE PUTS YOU AT RISK WHEN YOU ARE REQUIRED TO UNCONNECT AND RECONNECT PHONE WHILE DRIVING.

WHILE AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS, THE STEERING WOBBLES ON BUMPS.

WHILE DRIVING THE STEERING IS LOOSE, THE VEHICLE WANDERS AND IS DIFFICULT TO MAINTAIN MY LANE AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. IT HAS BEEN TO THE DEALER 5 TIMES FOR THIS ISSUE.THEY HAVE COMPLETED THE TSB CONCERNING THE ISSUE AND IT HAS NOT REPAIRED THE PROBLEM. THIS NEEDS TO BE INVESTIGATED AND REPAIRED BEFORE SOMEONE IS HURT OR KILLED BECAUSE OF IT. MY VEHICLE IS CURRENTLY PARKED BECAUSE MY WIFE IS AFRAID TO DRIVE IT.

VEHICLE WON'T START. ISSUE STARTED ON 5/6/2019 WHEN I GET TO MY WORK PARK THE CAR AND AT THE TIME TO GO HOME CAR DIDN'T START. VEHICLE WAS COMPLETELY STOPPED WITH TRANSMISSION IN P, DOORS CLOSED, PUSHED THE BRAKE PEDAL AND THE START BUTTON AND NOT START. ALL DASHBOARD LIGHTS ARE ON I'M ABLE TO TURN THE LIGHTS ON, FOG LIGHTS AND STEREO. I HAVE REPLACED THE BATTERY OF THE KEY TO ELIMINATE THAT VARIABLE IT DIDN'T WORK. TRIED TO START IT WITH THE NOSE OF THE KEY AT THE START BUTTON, NOT WORK. I LEFT THE VEHICLE AND DRIVE AWAY FROM IT LIKE 1-MILE DISTANCE CAME BACK AND THE VEHICLE STARTED. THIS ISSUE KEEPS HAPPENING EVERY SINGLE DAY, IN THE MORNING, AFTER WORK, ANY TIME. AND TODAY 5/9/19 THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT TURNED ON. VEHICLE WON'T START RANDOMLY. NEED A SOLUTION ASAP.

STEERING WHEEL LOCKING UP WHILE DRIVING CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO NOT TURN LEFT. ALSO LOTS OF PLAY IN THE STEERING CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO SWAY.

STEERING IS LOOSE AND VEHICLE IS DIFFICULT TO DRIVE STRAIGHT. VEHICLE WANDERS AROUND THE ROAD AND CAUSES VEHICLE TO SWAY INTO OTHER LANES.

WHILE DRIVING AT NORMAL HIGHWAY SPEEDS (60MPH AND ABOVE) EACH OVERPASS, SEAM OR POTHOLE IN THE ROAD CAUSES MY 2018 WRANGLER TO SHAKE AND VIBRATE UNCONTROLLABLY. AT TIMES THIS "DEATH WOBBLE" IS SO VIOLENT THAT THE ONLY WAY TO MAKE IT STOP IS TO PULL OVER AND COME TO A COMPLETE STOP. IMAGINE TRYING TO KEEP CONTROL OF YOUR JEEP WHILE IT'S SHAKING UNCONTROLLABLY AND YOU HAVE TO CROSS 3 LANES OF TRAFFIC TO PULL OVER. THIS WAS MY EXPERIENCE ON 5.4.19. THIS WAS NOT THE FIRST TIME. THIS IS ALSO AFTER THE DEALERSHIP AND MANUFACTURER HAVE "REPAIRED" THE ISSUE ON 3 PREVIOUS OCCASIONS.

THE DEFROST WILL NOT CLEAR THE DRIVER SIDE OF THE VEHICLE IT BLOWS IN THE CENTER OF THE VENT AND THERE IS NO AIRFLOW ON THE DRIVER SIDE. IF THE WINDOW FOGS UP YOU HAVE TO PULL OVER SO YOU DO NOT WRECK. I HAVE A PHOTO OF THE ACTUAL WINDOW.

AFTER INSTALLATION OF THE JEEP MANUFACTURED AND WARRANTIED 2 INCH MOPAR LIFT KIT AT THE JEEP DEALERSHIP, THE VEHICLE'S STEERING WHEEL AND FRONT END WILL VIOLENTLY SHAKE AFTER HITTING A BUMP AT SPEEDS OF 50 MILES PER HOUR AND ABOVE. THIS WAS MOST COMMONLY SEEN WHEN DRIVING OVER BRIDGES AT SPEEDS OF AROUND 50 MPH. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHEN THEY CLAIMED THEY COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE RESULTS. I THEN HAD TO RISK MY OWN SAFETY TO DEMONSTRATE TO A TECHNICIAN THAT THE PROBLEM WAS INDEED HAPPENING. THIS OSCILLATION OF THE STEERING AND SUSPENSION COMPONENTS IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS AND REQUIRES ME TO COME TO A COMPLETE STOP BEFORE THE VEHICLE WILL STOP SHAKING. I ALSO HAVE LITTLE TO NO CONTROL OVER THE VEHICLE WHEN THIS HAPPENS UNTIL THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN SLOWED DOWN SUBSTANTIALLY. THE PROBLEM IS ONGOING AND HAS YET TO BE SOLVED.

STEERING IS LOOSE AND VEHICLE IS DIFFICULT TO DRIVE STRAIGHT. VEHICLE WANDERS AROUND THE ROAD AND CAUSES VEHICLE TO SWAY INTO OTHER LANES.

WHILE DRIVING ABOUT 65 MILES PER HOUR I RAN OVER A BRIDGE EXPANSION JOINT ON A BRIDGE APPROXIMATELY TEN OR MORE TIMES DURING MY TRIP. ON THREE OCCASIONS WHEN I RAN OVER THE EXPANSION JOINT THE FRONT OF THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO SHAKE VIOLENTLY UP THROUGH THE STEERING WHEEL CAUSING ME TO LEAVE MY LANE OF TRAVEL. I FEEL IF A CAR WAS NEXT TO ME AT THE TIME I COULD HAVE CRASHED. APPLYING BRAKES AND SLOWING ENDED THE PROBLEM EACH TIME.

FRONT WHEELS SHAKE VIOLENTLY WHEN HITTING SMALL BUMP IN HIGHWAYS AT CRUISING SPEEDS,STOCK ROAD TIRES AND WHEELS, DEALER CHANGED STEERING STABILIZER , HELPED BUT STILL DOES IT,

JEEP WILL START DEATH WOBBLE WHEN DRIVING OVER 60 MPH IF VEHICLE DRIVES OVER UNEVEN ROAD, BUMPS, DIP IN ROADS. ENTIRE FRONT END SHAKES VIOLENTLY AND WILL NOT STOP UNTIL SPEED IS DECREASED BELOW 45 MPH.

WANDERING AND LOOSE. STEERING DOES NOT TRACK ON CENTER BUT NEEDS TO BE CONTINUOUSLY CORRECTED. IMMEDIATELY AFTER PURCHASE WAS TAKEN TO DEALER TO CHECK ALIGNMENT AND WAS TOLD THIS WAS NORMAL. AT SPEED IT IS VERY UNCOMFORTABLE TO DRIVE AS IT WILL WANDER AND HAS A DEAD SPOT WHEN STEERING WHEEL IS LEFT AT THE CENTER POSITION.

GEAR IS STUCK IN PARK. NOT ABLE TO MOVE GEAR FROM PARK TO ANY OTHER GEAR. HAVING TO WAIT FOR A LONG PERIOD OF TIME FOR TRANSMISSION TO COOL DOWN IN ORDER TO SWITCH GEARS.

VEHICLE STEERING WHEEL SHAKES FROM THE SLIGHTEST CRACK OR IMPERFECTIONS IN THE ROAD ALSO WANDERS BACK AND FORTH MAKING IT DIFFICULT TO KEEP IN LANE

THE VEHICLE WANDERS ON THE ROAD AND REQUIRES TOO MUCH CORRECTIVE STEERING. THE DEALER TOLD ME UP TO 2 1/2' OF STEERING WHEEL PLAY IS ACCEPTABLE, BUT I FEEL IT'S UNSAFE. ESPECIALLY IN WINDY CONDITIONS IN THE MOUNTAINS, AND ABOVE 50 MPH, THE STEERING IS VERY UNRESPONSIVE AND THE VEHICLE SOMETIMES WANDERS SEVERAL FEET FROM THE TRAVEL LANE WHILE I TRY TO CORRECT THE ANGLE. THIS IS THE 32ND JEEP I HAVE OWNED, AND OUR FAMILY STILL HAS THREE OTHERS, INCLUDING A 35 YEAR OLD CJ-8. ALL OF THEM STEER MUCH BETTER THAN MY COMPLETELY STOCK 2018 RUBICON. MY JEEP IS 14 MONTHS OLD AND HAS 10,000 MILES ON IT. IT HAS BEEN TO THE DEALER A FEW TIMES AND THEY TELL ME THE STEERING IS NORMAL FOR THIS MODEL, AT THE SAME TIME ADMITTING THAT THE JL STEERING IS WORSE THAN PRIOR YEARS. I HAVE BEEN TOLD THERE IS NOTHING THAT CAN BE DONE TO MAKE THIS VEHICLE SAFER.

I NOTICED, ALL BE IT 9 MONTHS AFTER BUYING, MY 2018 JEEP WRANGLER UNLIMITED REAR SEAT BELT IS ALMOST CUT IN TWO PIECES. I DON'T HAVE PEOPLE IN MY VEHICLE THAT OFTEN, MAYBE ONCE EVERY COUPLE MONTHS. I ADVISED MY DEALER OF THE ISSUE IN JANUARY WHEN I TOOK IT IN FOR AN OIL CHANGE. THE SERVICE MANAGER TOLD ME "THEY TEND TO DO THAT, ITS FROM THE SEATS BEING LAID DOWN". HE STATED MINE WAS SO BAD THERE WAS NO WAY HE COULD WARRANTY IT. HE THEN TOLD ME TO TAKE IT AND HAVE IT PATCHED, REALLY HAVE IT PATCHED? HERE IT IS 3 MONTHS LATER AND THE DRIVERS SIDE REAR SEAT BELT IS DOING THE SAME THING AND MY SEATS HAVEN'T BEEN LET DOWN.

SEVERAL TIMES WHEN DRIVING AT APPROX. 65-70 MILES PER HOUR ON THE FREEWAY, I EXPERIENCED THE "DEATH WOBBLE" A VIOLENT SHAKING OF THE FRONT END OF THE JEEP INCLUDING THE WHEELS, FRONT END, STEERING WHEEL AND DASHBOARD ETC. THE ONLY WAY TO STOP IT IS TO SLOW TO ABOUT 50 MPH OR LESS. THIS OCCURS WHEN GOING ACROSS A SEPARATION ON A FREEWAY OR OVER A BUMP IN THE ROADWAY. THIS FIRST OCCURRED WITH ABOUT 3025 MILES ON THE NEW JEEP. IT ALWAYS HAPPENS ON THE HIGHWAY AS THERE MUST BE SPEED OVER 65-70 FOR IT TO OCCUR. IT WAS VERY DANGEROUS AND FRIGHTENING TO HAVE TO DECELERATE IN THE FAST LANE OF TRAFFIC ON THE WORST AND MOST DANGEROUS FREEWAY IN AMERICA, THE 91 THROUGH CORONA AND RIVERSIDE, CA. VERY VERY DANGEROUS AND I AM FORTUNATE I DID NOT CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. I HAVE A SHORT VIDEO SHOWING ONE EPISODE WHEN I WAS ALREADY CONSIDERABLY SLOWED.

MANUAL TRANSMISSION STARTED POPPING OUT OF 2ND GEAR AROUND 9500 MILES. TRANSMISSION HAD TO BE REPLACED. AT 11,500 CREEKING NOISE WHEN TURNING LEFT/RIGHT. HAD TO HAVE REAR AXLES & REAR DIFFERENTIAL REPLACED.

STEERING HAS LOCKED UP NUMEROUS TIMES WHEN ATTEMPTING TO TURN LEFT. HAPPENS IN COOL/COLD TEMPERATURES.

PURCHASED NEW 2018 JEEP WRANGLER ON MONDAY APRIL 1,2019. NOTICED VEHICLE WAS LEAKING IN DRIVEWAY LESS THEN 24 HOURS AFTER PURCHASE. CALLED DEALER AND RETURNED VEHICLE FOR EVALUATION OF LEAK. ISSUE-FACTORY DEFECTIVE TRANSMISSION. HAD NOT BEEN THOROUGHLY INSPECTED PRIOR TO DELIVERY AND WAS DELIVERED TO US WITH FACTORY DEFECTIVE TRANSMISSION DUE TO CRACKED CASING.

THE VEHICLE STEERING IS SOMETIMES UNCONTROLLABLE. THE VEHICLE MERGES RIGHTS AND EVEN PULLS RIGHT WHEN YOU TRY TO STEER TO THE LEFT. THIS HAPPENS AT SPEEDS OVER 40 MPH

VEHICLE SHAKES UNCONTROLLABLY WHEN HITTING A BUMP AT SPEEDS OF APPROXIMATELY 50MPH OR HIGHER. IT FEELS AS IF YOU'VE POPPED A TIRE. SHAKING WILL NOT STOP UNTIL YOU SLOW DOWN SIGNIFICANTLY. THIS ISSUE IS OFTEN CALLED THE 'DEATH WOBBLE.' NO MODIFICATIONS TO THE VEHICLE, LESS THAN 7 MONTHS OLD AT THE TIME OF THE FIRST INCIDENT. CONSISTENTLY HAPPENS AT LEAST ONCE EVERY OTHER WEEK.

THIS VEHICLE WANDERS IN THE LANE LEFT TO RIGHT WHEN DRIVING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. WHEN PASSING TRACTOR-TRAILERS IT MOVES FROM SIDE-TO-SIDE CAUSING A DIFFICULT AND PERHAPS DANGEROUS SITUATION. FCA'S SLOW RESPONSE, TESTING AND UPGRADING, ALONG WITH THEIR DEALER'S USE OF THE STANDARD PHRASE: "OPERATING AS DESIGNED" IS ANNOYING AND DANGEROUS, AND I JUST HEARD IT FROM A DEALERSHIP SERVICE ADVISOR TODAY IN GEORGETOWN, TX! LET'S ASSUME THAT HAZARDOUS DRIVING CONDITIONS OF A VEHICLE SHOULD HAVE BEEN NOTICED BY THE POTENTIAL BUYER IN THE TEST DRIVE, AS ANTICIPATED BY THE PHRASE, "OPERATING AS DESIGNED", THE VERY LEAST A CAR MANUFACTURER COULD DO IS TO WARN THE POTENTIAL OWNERS OF A POSSIBLE PROBLEM, SINCE MANY NEW AUTO TEST DRIVES DO NOT INVOLVE VEHICLES TRAVELING 70-80MPH. STEERING ISSUES SHOULD NOT BE TAKEN LIGHTLY BY ANY AUTO MANUFACTURER! *TR

WHEN HITTING A BUMP - I.E. BRIDGE EXPANSION JOINT - AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS THE VEHICLE'S FRONT WHEELS WENT INTO A SEVERE WOBBLE WHEN REQUIRED AN IMMEDIATE DECELERATION TO ALLEVIATE. NUMEROUS INSTANCES. QUITE SCARY IN HEAVY TRAFFIC, EVEN FOR AN EXPERIENCED DRIVER AND A FORMER GENERAL MANAGER OF A FIVE-STAR CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP!! EXTENSIVE RESEARCH FOUND A NUMBER OF PEOPLE HAVING THIS PROBLEM, YET NO RECALL OR "FIX" FROM FCA HAS EVIDENTLY BEEN FOUND. IN PREVIOUS RESPONSES FROM CORPORATE THEY INDICATE THAT IT IS NOT A SAFETY ISSUE AND I MUST VEHEMENTLY DISAGREE. THE COMMON TERM USED IS "DEATH WOBBLE"!! DO WE NEED TO WAIT UNTIL AN INEXPERIENCED DRIVER OR INNOCENT FELLOW TRAVELER BECOMES A VICTIM?. MY JEEP IS IN THE SHOP NOW AWAITING SOME SORT OF DISPOSITION.

I PURCHASED MY 2018 JEEP WRANGLER UNLIMITED JL IN JUNE OF 2018. WITHIN THE FIRST MONTH OF HAVING THE VEHICLE THE PROBLEMS BEGAN. I INITIALLY HAD WINDSHIELD SEALS THAT WERE MISSING SO THE JEEP WOULD FILL UP WITH WATER FROM BEHIND THE DASHBOARD. THE DEALERSHIP SAID THEY "FIXED THE PROBLEM" AND THEN MY WINDSHIELD CRACKED BECAUSE THEY DIDN'T INSTALL PROPERLY, NOW IT IS LEAKING AGAIN BEHIND THE STEERING WHEEL. THIS WILL BE MY 3RD VISIT TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR THIS PROBLEM. THEN THE "DEATH WOBBLE" BEGAN AROUND 8/9,000 MILES, ALMOST CAUSING MULTIPLE ACCIDENTS. MY VEHICLE HAS BEEN IN TWO DEALERSHIPS SINCE OCTOBER 2018 TRYING TO FIX ALL OF THE ISSUES OCCURRING. THE JEEP IS BEING SENT TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR THE 5TH TIME ON APRIL 10, 2019 FOR ONGOING STEERING ISSUES. THE DAMPER (RECALL) IN THE VEHICLE WAS REPLACED 4 TIMES WITHOUT SUCCESS AND THE STEERING CONTINUES TO WORSEN. KEEP IN MIND, THE DAMPER RECALL FIX WAS ONLY AVAILABLE AT MY DEALERSHIP IN JANUARY OF 2019. I NOW HAVE 18,000 MILES ON THE VEHICLE, LOOSE AND WOBBLING STEERING, CAN'T MAINTAIN A LANE WHILE DRIVING, VIBRATION AND WOBBLING WHILE BREAKING, THE EMERGENCY BREAK IS NO LONGER ENGAGING (MANUAL TRANSMISSION), AND JUST PUT IN A COMPLAINT WITH JEEP A FEW WEEKS AGO AFTER LITTLE SUCCESS WITH THE DEALERSHIP. JEEP IS TELLING ME THAT MY UNSAFE, UNSTABLE VEHICLE HAS TOO MANY MILES ON IT TO BUYBACK. I HAVE HAD THE VEHICLE FOR LESS THAN 10 MONTHS AND HAVE NEVER HAD THIS MANY ISSUES WITH ANY OF MY OTHER VEHICLES IN MY LIFE. THE VEHICLE WI

I PURCHASED VEHICLE IN FEB 2018. WITHIN THE FIRST WEEK OR TWO STARTED HAVING PROBLEMS. A COWORKER PURCHASED A 2018 JEEP CHEROKEE. SHE RETURNED IT IN TWO MONTHS BECAUSE IT WOULD NOT START. ANOTHER COWORKER'S GIRLFRIEND PURCHASED A 2018 RUBICON WITH ENGINE LIGHT PROBLEMS, STARTING ISSUES, AND RADIO NOT WORKING. MY VEHICLE HISTORY: REAR DEFROSTER SENSOR ON BACK WINDOW DOES NOT STAY SECURED. 4TH RETURN TO DEALER. SECOND WINDOW TO BE REPLACED. PANEL LIGHT FOR REAR WINDOW DEFROSTER CONTINUES TO LIGHT, BUT SENSOR IS NOT CONNECTED. HAVE BEEN ON WAIT LIST SINCE MARCH 2019 FOR NEW WINDOW TO ARRIVE. IT APPEARS THE SENSOR CORD IS TOO SHORT TO REACH WINDOW WHEN RAISING. DEATH WOBBLE HAS HAPPENED 3X WHILE IN MOTION ON HIGHWAY AND HAS BEEN AT THE DEALERSHIP 3X FOR THIS ISSUE. VEHICLE DOES NOT CORRECT ITSELF WHILE DRIVING AND IT FEELS LIKE THE VEHICLE IS COMING APART. HAD TO CONTINUE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY, SLOWING DOWN DID NOT CORRECT THE PROBLEM, UNTIL I REACHED A SAFE PLACE TO PULL OVER. ONCE COMING TO A COMPLETE STOP, IT CORRECTED ITSELF. THE JEEP LOOSES TOTAL CONTROL AND I AM AFRAID SOMETHING MAY COME APART CAUSING INJURY OR DEATH. FREEDOM TOPS HAD RATTLE INSIDE OF THEM WITH HUGE WIND NOISE WHEN IN MOTION. PROBLEM CORRECTED WHEN DEALERSHIP SWITCHED OUT FREEDOM TOPS. NOW THE FREEDOM TOP IS TOO BIG FOR FREEDOM BAG. THE BAG APPEARS TO BE COMING APART WHEN ZIPPED. DROVE TO STORE AND GOT OUT OF THE VEHICLE. TRIED TO REMOTE LOCK THE VEHICLE, WHICH FAILED. TRIED TO START JEEP, IT WOULD NOT STA

VEHICLE HAS THE TENDENCY TO WANDER DURING HIGHWAY DRIVING. YOU WOULD HAVE TO CONSTANTLY PROVIDE INPUT TO THE STEERING WHICH CAUSES FATIGUE. IT DRIVES AND FEEL LIKE YOU'RE IN A WINDSTORM.

VIOLENT VIBRATION (DEATH WOBBLE) AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS EXPERIENCED TO STOCK JEEP WRANGLER SAHARA UNLIMITED. OCCURRED WITHIN FIRST 3000 MILES OF OWNERSHIP (NOVEMBER 2018). RETURNED TO JEEP DEALER FOR FIX BUT PROBLEM SEEMS TO HAVE RETURNED.

AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS IF I HIT A BUMP I GET WHAT THOSE IN THE JEEP COMMUNITY CALL A DEATH WOBBLE. I HAVE TO REDUCE MY SPEED TO A DANGEROUSLY SLOW SPEED, ESPECIALLY DURING BUSY MORNING AND AFTERNOON COMMUTES. I HAVE HAD THE STABILIZER REPLACED TWICE, THE 3RD TIME I WENT IN THE SERVICE GROUP SAID THEY COULDN'T REPLICATED SO THEY CAN'T DO ANYTHING ANY CAR THAT HAS SOMETHING CALLED A DEATH WOBBLE SHOULD NOT BE ON THE ROAD. ITS ABSOLUTELY REDICULOUS THAT THIS IS A THING. I AM IN A 9 MONTH OLD CAR, 12K MILES, THIS SHOULD NOT BE HAPPENING TODAY WAS THE LAST STRAW - CAR DRIVING NEXT TO ME ON HIGHWAY, AS I WAS DEALING WITH THE PROBLEM OPENED HIS WINDOW AND YELLED THAT MY TIRE WAS SHAKING. THIS NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED

I PURCHASED ON SEPTEMBER 14, 2018 THAT HAS WHAT IS CALLED THE "DEATH WOBBLE". IT ONLY OCCURS WHEN DRIVING OVER 60 MILES AN HOUR. IT IS CAUSED BY A FAULTY STEERING DAMPER. I BROUGHT IT IN FOR THE FIRST TIME IN DECEMBER 4, 2018 WHEN I COULD NOT GAIN CONTROL OF THE CAR AND ALMOST WRECKED. IT WAS THE 6 TIME IT HAD HAPPENED. THE CAR WAS SEIZED IMMEDIATELY, IT WAS A SAFETY ISSUE. I WAS TOLD TO CLEAN THE CAR OUT AND THEY COULDN'T TELL ME WHEN I WOULD HAVE IT RETURNED. I ALSO WAS HAVING THEM CHECK THE BRAKES AS THEY HAD BEEN SQUEAKING. I DID NOT RECEIVE THE CAR BACK UNTIL JANUARY 8 2019. AT THAT TIME, I WAS TOLD IT WAS FINE. THE BRAKES CONTINUED TO SQUEAK AND WHEN IT SNOWED, I FOUND OUT THE DEFROSTER WAS NOT IN WORKING ORDER. I WAS TOLD THE DEFROSTER PART WAS ON BACK ORDER (STILL NOT FIXED AND ITS APRIL 1, 2019) AND THEY GRINDED THE PADS OR ROTORS DUE TO A GLAZE ON THEM. THE BRAKES WERE SOFT AND STILL SQUEAKING. ON FEBRUARY 20 THEY SAID THEY WOULD ORDER NEW BRAKES. MARCH 1, BRAKES LOCKED UP AND I ALMOST WRECKED. I PUMPED THEM AND THEY WORKED AFTER THAT. I IMMEDIATELY DROVE THE CAR THERE AND LEFT IT. THE BRAKES WERE REPLACED, AND I PICKED THE CAR UP ON THE MARCH 7, 2019. MARCH 16, 2019 I WAS GOING OVER THE BRIDGE AT 65 MILES AN HOUR AND THE "DEATH WOBBLE" STARTED AGAIN. I ASKED MY HUSBAND TO DRIVE IT AND IT DID IT TO HIM AS WELL AT ABOUT 65 MILES AN HOUR AS HE WENT OVER A BUMP. WE LEFT TOWN ON SUNDAY MARCH 17 AND DID NOT RETURN UNTIL THE 22. ON MARCH 23, 2019 WE BROUGHT THE CAR IN. TH

AT 3800 MILES MY VEHICLE EXPERIENCED VIOLENT STEERING WHEEL VIBRATION. THE DEALERSHIP REPLACED THE STEERING DAMPER. WITHIN WEEKS IT STARTED TO OCCUR AGAIN. I OPENED A CASE WITH CHRYSLER AND THE DEALERSHIP AND IT APPEARS THE FIX IS REPLACING IT WITH ANOTHER AFTERMARKET STEERING DAMPER THAT ISN'T AVAILABLE TILL JULY. THE FREQUENCY AND SEVERITY OF THE WOBBLE IS INCREASING. THIS MORNING ON A 20 MINUTE COMMUTE IT OCCURRED TWICE. ONCE AT 70MPH AND THEN ONCE AT 58MPH EXITING THE HIGHWAY. TURNING THE WHEEL TO GET OF THE EXIT WAS DIFFICULT AND THE VIBRATION CONTINUED UNTIL I GOT THE CAR DOWN TO 30MPH. I CALL CHRYSLER AGAIN TELLING THEM I'M ACTUALLY SCARED NOW TO DRIVE MY VEHICLE ON THE HIGHWAY AND AT THIS RATE AM RISK FOR AN ACCIDENT AND CAN'T WAIT TILL JULY FOR REPAIR.

THIS IS REGARDING WHAT'S KNOWN IN THE JEEP COMMUNITY AS THE 'DEATH WOBBLE.' I BOUGHT MY CAR BRAND NEW IN SEPTEMBER OF 2018, AND I'VE EXPERIENCED THE DEATH WOBBLE. I'LL BE ON THE FREEWAY, DRIVING 65+ MPH, ALL OF THE SUDDEN HIT A BUMP OR RUMBLE IN THE ROAD AND THEN LOSE CONTROL OF MY STEERING. THE JEEP STARTS VIBRATING (WOBBLING) UNCONTROLLABLY. THE ONLY WAY TO STOP THIS IS BY SLOWING DOWN ENOUGH TO COME TO A STOP, WHICH CAN PROVE DIFFICULT AND DANGEROUS ON THE FREEWAY. THIS IS SOMETHING I FEEL SHOULD BE FIXED. MY CAR HAS NEVER BEEN IN AN ACCIDENT, HAS ALL NEW PARTS SINCE I BOUGHT IT BRAND NEW AND SHOULDN'T HAVE THIS PROBLEM.
