| Description of the problem | 2018 jeep wrangler sport s, completely unmodified, exhibited violent steering shake or "death wobble" whendriving home from the dealer with 27 miles on the speedometr at highway speeds. Condition intensifies until speed is brought down to approximately 45 mph (very dangerous in highway traffic). The dealer replaced the steering stabilizer before i took delivery of the jeep. Unfortunately the violent steering shake (death wobble) persists when encountering uneven road surfaces at highway speeds. The vehicle still continues to go into full blown death wobble. Has happened at least 5 times in 5 days of driving. This is my 4th jeep and the one one i have had that has this crazy death wobble. I need this fixed. |
