| Component | SUSPENSION |
| Product type code | VEHICLE |
| Description of the problem | 2018 jeep wrangler has the "death wobble." specifically, while driving above 50 mph, the vehicle somewhat frequently hits a bump or crack in the road which causes the front suspension to violently shake and essentially lose control. The only cure for this "death wobble" problem is to slow down to below 20 mph or more often slow down to a complete stop. This vehicle is essentially impossible to drive on the highway because of this problem. I cannot believe that this nhtsa has not issued a warning or a recall for this problem. It is beyond dangerous, especially in traffic. |
