Four problems related to steering have been reported for the 2001 Jeep Wrangler. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
Definitely had a bad experience with the death wobble in my Jeep almost causing me to be in a car accident. I feel the pain in back and neck. Will have to go to doctors to get that checked. I was driving on interstate 83 when I hit a bump on the road near construction area when Jeep began to wobble out of control. Luckily another Jeep on the road saw what was going on and made space for me to exit the highway. I called the tow truck and had it towed.
I have experienced a terrible wobble in my front tire that makes my vehicle hard to maintain to even keep on the road it is very dangerous and I could not even steer. I cannot beleive this vehicle is allowed on the road with this problem and it is only a matter of time before someone is going to be serously hurt. I hope something gets worked out with the "death wobble".
Jeep front end wobbles when hitting a bump at highway speeds. Aka death wobble. Must slow down immediately, loss of control.
Driving on the freeway and my entire Jeep started to shake so badly that I could barely hold onto the steering wheel. I thought that I may have blown a front tire but it didnt feel like that. So I started slowing down and making my way to the right shoulder of the freeway. When my speed dropped down to about 45 mph it just stopped. It did that one other time approximately 1 yr later and it's never done it again.
