What owners say about the suspension
Verbatim from NHTSA complaints, newest first
“All of my wires on the drivers side is unhooked and hanging. All of my emergency light have came on. The car is running hot and not catching up on proper speed. The car wobbles left and right when going over 40mph. My reverse camera is hanging covering my license plate causing m to consistently get pulled over. There are a lot of safety concerns. The dealer used profanity towards me and told me he was not fixing anything, I better use my warranty. I got what I got!”
“In 2013 and 2014 my wife complained of the jeep having the "death wobble" on several occasions when she hit a bump on the highway at speeds of 40 MPH or higher. She would slow down to less than 10 mph for the wobbling to stop. The dealership attempted to determine what the issue was but was not able to find anything wrong. We had the same issue with our 2008 wrangler, and after paying over two thousand dollars in vain attempts to have the problem resolved, and a couple of issues caused by poor workmanship by the dealer, we traded that car in for the 2011 model. My wife seldom drove the jeep for the next few years due to terminal illness. I started driving it regularly in 2020 and found that the same condition was still occurring. While it does not happen every time I hit a bump at speeds above 40mph. it is occurring more often and more intensely. As a result of the intensity of the vibrations, I no longer will drive the jeep above 40 mph. It is my opinion that since this issue has been a problem for several models of jeeps over the past few years, it should be repaired by Chrysler/Jeep at no cost to the owners. This sudden vibration has probably caused…”
“I have been experiencing the "death Wobble" for many years, and have gone to various shops to find out the problem but have not been able to fix the "death wobble". The entire car shakes and vibrates uncontrollably when I drive on the free way over a bump, or even when I drive on a regular street and hit a bump. The shaking doesn't stop until I come to a complete stop, and that is very dangerous on the freeway. Once the "death wobble" is going on braking and controlling the jeep are nearly impossible. I have recently found out about a class action lawsuit for this very problem, and I believe my car qualifies to be part of this. I have not been able to document this because it doesn't always happen, and when it does I don't have a camera running.”
“THE ON GOING DEATH WOBBLE ISSUE. THIS LAST INCIDENT , I WAS COMING HOME FROM WORK ON THE FLORIDA TURNPIKE DOING ABOUT 60 MPH AND IT HAPPENED AGAIN AND I LOST TOTAL CONTROL OF THE JEEP AND ALMOST GOT HIT BY AN 18 WHEELER... LUCKILY I MANAGED TO CUT TO MY RIGHT BEFORE HE HIT ME.”
“I'VE EXPERIENCING A TERRIBLE WOBBLING WHEN DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY.I ONLY DRIVE BACK AND FORWARD TO WORK. I DO NOT OFF ROAD AT ALL!! I ALMOST CAUSED AN ACCIDENT THE OTHER DAY COMING FROM WORK. IT WAS TERRIBLE TO SAY THE LEAST. I'M REALLY AFRAID TO USE MY JEEP AND WILL NEVER LET MY FAMILY IT... PLEASE ADVISE WHAT I CAN DO TO GET IT FIX . I'VE TAKING IT TO THE DEALER SEVERAL TIMES ALREADY WITH NO RESULTS.”
