Chrysler (FCA US, LLC) is recalling certain 2018-2024 Jeep Wrangler vehicles.

AS I AM DRIVING AT A NORMAL SPEED ALL OF A SUDDEN MY 2019 JEEP WRANGLER WILL BEGIN TO SHUDDER BACK AND FORTH FIERCELY. THE FIRST TIME IT HAPPENED ON JANUARY 4, I THOUGHT I HAD A LOOSE AIR FLAT TIRE. I STOPPED IN THE BREAKDOWN LANE, GOT OUT AND CHECKED BUT THERE WAS NOTHING WRONG. WHEN I BEGAN DRIVING AGAIN, THE CAR DROVE FINE. THE NEXT MORNING ON JANUARY 5, THE CAR DID THE SAME THING IN ALMOST THE SAME ARE WHERE RI 95 CUTS OFF TO RI295. THE STEERING WHEEL STARTED SHAKING FOR A GOOD 50-100 FEET BEFORE IT STOPPED. I WAS ALONE BOTH TIMES. THE 3RD TIME, I WAS TAKING MY 29 YEAR OLD DAUGHTER TO THE DOCTORS IN WAKEFIELD, RI AND TRAVELING ON RT 1. ALL OF A SUDDEN THE VEHICLE STARTED SHAKING, IT REALLY SCARED MY DAUGHTER WHO INSISTED WE DRIVE RIGHT TO THE DEALERSHIP AFTER HER APPOINTMENT. AFTER HER APPOINTMENT AND ON THE WAY TO THE DEALERSHIP, IT HAPPENED ONE MORE TIME. I WALKED INTO THE DEALERSHIP AT PAUL BAILEY'S IN NORTH KINGSTOWN. THIS IS WHERE I ALWAYS GO FOR MY SERVICE ON ALL MY JEEPS. THEY WERE PLEASANT WAS ALWAYS AND I TOLD THEM IN HAD WHAT I THOUGHT WAS THE DEATH RATTLE AND HE CORRECTED ME AND SAID DID I MEAN THE DEATH WOBBLE? I MADE AN APPOINTMENT TO GO BACK JANUARY 18 TO HAVE THEM LOOK AT MY CAR. I AM CONCERNED THAT THIS MAY BE HAPPENING WITH ALL CARS AND MAY CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. I ONLY HAVE 18000 MILES ON THE CAR, IT IS STILL UNDER WARRANTY.
Steering, Jan 4, 2021
I WAS DRIVING TO WORK ON A STRAIGHT ROAD THAT EVENTUALLY CAME WITH A SLIGHT BEND TO THE LEFT. AS I APPROACHED THE BEND, MY STEERING WHEEL WOULD NOT TURN TO MAKE THE BEND. I HAD TO PULL WITH BOTH HANDS ON THE LEFT SIDE OF THE STEERING WHEEL TO MAKE THE TURN ON THE BEND. AFTER PULLING HARD I WAS ABLE TO MAKE THE TURN ON THE BEND. IT WAS A CLOSE CALL TO CRASHING INTO A CORN FIELD IF I WASN'T ABLE TO MAKE THIS BEND IN THE ROAD.
Steering, Suspension, Wheels, Jan 4, 2021
I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY GOING 50MPH AND THE FRONT END STARTED VIGOROUSLY SHAKING SO MUCH THAT I HAD TO PULL OVER AND STOP. IT SHOOK ME TO THE POINT THAT I WAS DIZZY. I WAS TOLD THAT IT WAS CALLED THE DEATH RATTLE, HOWEVER WHEN I TOOK IT THE THE DEALERSHIP TO GET IT FIXED I WAS TOLD THAT IT IS NO LONGER CALLED THAT. THEY DIDN'T KNOW THAT IT WAS HAPPENING ON THE 2019 WRANGLER SPORT

MY 2019 JEEP WRANGLER ALONG WITH OTHER JEEPS CURRENTLY HAVE A POORLY MANUFACTURED STEERING BOX THAT IS ONLY MARKED AS A SERVICE BULLETIN INSTEAD OF A RECALL. I RECENTLY EXPERIENCED AN UNSAFE AND UNEASY STEERING ISSUE ON MY RECENT ROAD TRIP ON MY 35,000 MILE JEEP (STOCK). PING PONGING IN BETWEEN LANES AND HAVING CLOSE CALLS WITH OTHERS ON THE ROAD BECAUSE OF THE WANDERING AND SLIGHT PULL THE JEEP HAS AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS WHICH CAN BE ANYWHERE FROM 45MPH-70MPH. I'M HOPING THIS WILL BE ADDRESSED PROMPTLY AND WITH URGENCY FOR ALL WRANGLER OWNERS TO KEEP THE ROADS SAFER FOR EVERYONE.
Steering, Suspension, Wheels, Dec 31, 2020
WHILE DRIVING ON THE WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AT ABOUT 60 MPH AND TAKING A SLIGHT LEFT OR RIGHT CURVE WE HIT AN EXPANSION JOINT ON THE BRIDGE. THE FRONT WHEELS STARTED SHAKING UNCONTROLLABLY UNTIL I CAME TO A FULL STOP ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. VERY DANGEROUS SAFETY CONCERN, ESPECIALLY ON A CAR THAT HAS NOT BEEN OFF-ROAD AND WITH LESS THAN 18000 MILES AND NO MODIFICATIONS. THIS ISSUE IS VERY WELL DOCUMENTED ALL OVER THE INTERNET.
Steering, Suspension, Dec 28, 2020
WHEN ON THE HIGHWAY, IT STARTING SHAKING VIGOROUSLY. I HAD TO SLOW DOWN TO STOP IT FROM SHAKING. I WENT FROM ABOUT 70 MPH TO ABOUT 35 MPH IN ORDER TO STOP IT FROM SHAKING. I TRIED LOOKING UP WHAT IT COULD BE AND FOUND THAT IT'S BEEN CALLED THE "DEATH WOBBLE." I'VE ALSO CHECKED IT FOR RECALLS AND NOTHING CAME UP AT THIS TIME. I TRIED CALLING FCA, HOWEVER AFTER BEING ON HOLD FOR MORE THAN 2 HOURS, I HANGED UP. I HOPE YOU GUYS CAN HELP WITH ANSWERS ON THIS AS IT SEEMS THAT I'M NOT THE FIRST ONE TO EXPERIENCE THIS. THANK YOU.
Steering, Suspension, Dec 26, 2020
WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AT APPROXIMATELY 70 MPH, THE JEEP BEGAN TO SHAKE (WABBLE) VIOLENTLY. THE STEERING COLUMN BECAME HARD TO CONTROL DUE TO THE SHAKING OF THE JEEP. SLOWING DOWN DID NOT SEEM TO HELP SO I PULLED OFF THE FREEWAY AND CAME TO A COMPLETE STOP. THIS ALLEVIATED THE ISSUE TEMPORARILY. HOWEVER, THE SHAKING/WABBLE OCCURRED 6 MORE TIMES DURING MY 200-MILE TRIP. I TOOK MY JEEP INTO THE DEALER TO GET FIXED AND WAITED 3 WEEKS FOR THE PART TO COME IN. DURING THIS TIME, THE WABBLE HAPPENED TWICE AT FREEWAY SPEEDS (65 MPH+). BOTH TIMES, I HAD TO PULL OFF THE FREEWAY AND COME TO A COMPLETE STOP TO REMEDY THE ISSUE. MY SERVICING DEALER REPLACED THE STEERING DAMPENER AS THEY SAID THAT WAS THE ISSUE. UNFORTUNATELY, AT FREEWAY SPEED, I ENCOUNTERED THE SHAKING/WABBLE AGAIN. SPEEDS OF 50 MPH OR LESS DO NOT SEEM TO TRIGGER THE SHAKING, BUT IT OCCURS INTERMITTENTLY AT SPEEDS OVER 50 MPH. AS LONG AS I AM IN THE SLOW LANE WITH ROOM TO EXIT THE ROAD, IT IS SAFE TO DRIVE. HOWEVER, IT IS A HUGE SAFETY ISSUE IF THERE IS NO WAY TO EXIT THE ROADWAY WHEN IT OCCURS AS THE ONLY WAY TO STOP THE SHAKING IS TO COME TO A COMPLETE STOP.

I WAS DRIVING A 2019 JEEP WRANGLER THAT I BOUGHT AT THE END OF JANUARY 2020, I BARELY HAVE 3,300 MILES ON IT, DUE TO COVID AND REMOTE WORKING.

I'VE DRIVEN THIS HIGHWAY SEVERAL HUNDRED TIMES AND NEVER HAD THIS PROBLEM, THANKFULLY THE ROADS ARE NOT AS CROWDED AS THEY USUALLY WOULD HAVE BEEN AND AN ACCIDENT WAS AVOIDED. I HAVE READ ONLINE THAT OTHER PEOPLE HAVE HAD THIS SAME ISSUE OF A "DEATH WOBBLE" BUT I HAVE NOT RECEIVED AN OFFICIAL RECALL FROM JEEP OR FIAT CHRYSLER AUTOMOBILES.

BOUGHT THE 2019 JEEP JL CERTIFIED USED NOV 24. TOLD THE DEALER THAT THE JEEP PULLS TO THE RIGHT AND THE VEHICLES ALIGNMENT MIGHT BE OFF. THE TOLD ME THEY DID ALIGNMENT AND EVERYTHING IS GOOD.

TOOK TO DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID THERE WERE NO RECALLS. COULDN'T FIND ANYTHING WRONG. I HAVE A HANDICAPPED DAUGHTER AND THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY ISSUE.

WHILE DRIVING MY 2019 JEEP WRANGLER JL ON A HIGHWAY, AT ABOUT 75 MILES PER HOUR, THE FRONT END OF THE VEHICLE STARTED VIGOROUSLY SHAKING FROM SIDE TO SIDE. IT FELT AS THOUGH THE FRONT TIRES WERE GOING TO FALL OFF. I HAD TO REDUCE TO A SPEED OF LOWER THAN 50 MILES PER HOUR (WHICH IS UNSAFE ON A HIGHWAY THAT RUNS 70 MILES PER HOUR) IN ORDER FOR THE SHAKING TO CALM DOWN. I TOOK THE VEHICLE IN TO JEEP THAT SAME DAY AND REPORTED THE ISSUE. AFTER 2 DAYS, THEY INFORMED ME THEY COULD NOT RE-CREATE THE ISSUE AND THEREFOR DID NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG. THEY MADE NO REPAIRS. FAST FORWARD TO ABOUT 9 MONTH LATER AND IT HAS HAPPENED AGAIN. I WAS DRIVING ON THE SAME HIGHWAY TODAY.

IN OCTOBER 219 I EXPERIENCED THE SAME 'DEATH WOBBLE' DRIVING 65MPH ON THE HIGHWAY WHEN GOING OVER THE OVERPASS. THE DEALER SAID NORMAL AND WOULD REPLACE THE DAMPER TO HELP BUT NORMAL. THIS IS NOT NORMAL AND IS UNSAFE ESPECIALLY WHEN DRIVING WITH CHILDREN IN THE VEHICLE AT HIGH RATE OF SPEED.

WHEN THE VEHICLE HITS 25-35MPH, THE POWER STEERING CUTS OUT COMPLETELY AND CAN ONLY BE CONTROLLED VIA AGGRESSIVE WRESTLING WITH THE STEERING WHEEL. VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO DEALER 11-2-20. DEALER REPORTED THAT THEY COULD NOT REPLICATE PROBLEM AND THAT I PROBABLY NEEDED A NEW POWER STEERING PUMP BUT THAT THE PART IS ON BACK ORDER UNTIL 4/2021 AND THAT I SHOULD COME AND GET THE CAR. II WAS ALSO TOLD THAT I WAS #20 ON A LIST OF WRANGLER RUBICONS THAT ARE WAITING FOR THIS PART AND THAT THEY ONLY GET ONE POWER STEERING PUMP FROM THE MANUFACTURER EVERY 30 DAYS. I PICKED UP THE CAR ON 11-9-20 AND THE POWER STEERING CUT OUT IMMEDIATELY ON THE DRIVE HOME ONCE I HIT 35MPH.
