 Description of the problemI recently had a local jeep dealer install a mopar factory 2" lift kit on my 2018 jeep wrangler rubicon a few weeks ago. Since the 2" lift was installed, when the jeep hits a highway break, bump/pothole, anywhere between 30mph up to normal highway speeds, i get the "death wobble" in the steering wheel and the vehicle shakes violently. This jeep still has the factory original tires and rims installed, and has no other add-ons to the vehicle. I have to slow the vehicle down to 25 mph for the death wobble to stop. I traveled 35 miles a few days ago on a state highway at speeds between 40-65 mph, in 32 degree temps, and the vehicle went into a "death wobble" (7) times, five of which i have on video for the upcoming lawsuits. It appears more vulnerable to a death wobble if the front drivers wheel hits a bump or pothole first. Additionally it appears to enter into a death wobble more easily if you are on a curve in a left hand directional turn. All known recalls have been performed to this vehicle that i know of, to include the updated work and inspection to the steering stabilizer dampener/shock. Someone is going to die from this issue if it is not fixed if they haven't already, either the driver of the jeep, or a unwitting party in oncoming traffic, especially if this happens on an ice covered road! I have videos of the death wobble, but no photos, which are all that are allowed for posting on this website for this complaint. I would be happy to share the videos with nhtsa investigators if they wish to contact me.

    A recall is when a product is removed from the market or a correction is made to the product because it is either defective or potentially harmful.
