| Description of the problem | My 2018 jeep wrangler jl experienced the jeep "death wobble" on the freeway at speeds above 60 mph after running over minor pavement imperfections. The wobble was so severe each time i had to pull off the freeway onto the berm and come to a complete standstill for the wobble to stop. The wobble occurred four times in three days. I purchased the vehicle on 03/30/2018. The death wobble manifested in early october, 2018. I took the vehicle to the dealer for inspection within a week. The only problem discovered was the tires were all out of balance. The dealer balanced the tires. Today is november 20. So far, the death wobble has not reoccurred. |
