| Product type code | VEHICLE |
| Description of the problem | 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. |
