Steering Wheel Vibrate problems of the 2011 Jeep Wrangler

The contact owns a 2011 Jeep Wrangler. While driving 40 mph, the steering wheel began to shake violently without warning. The failure recurred randomly. The vehicle was taken to a dealer, but the cause of the failure was not determined. The vehicle was not repaired. The contact also mentioned that the failure occurred primarily at high speeds. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 30,000.

I began driving down the street going about 45 mph when the steering wheel start to shake violently from left to right. Which caused the whole vehicle to shake. I applied the brakes and pulled over. I thought I blew out a tire or snapped a lug on one of the wheels. Walked around the vehicle and everything looked fine. When I came back up to 40 mph and started to happen again. It didn't happen again for a few weeks. Then it happened again with I was coming around on a ramp to enter the interstate. I was going about 60 at this time and had to slow down immediately to keep from running into the concrete barricades. Now it happens once or more a week when I turn or drive up to 40 mph and more. Have not been in accident from it yet because no one has followed me too close when I have to apply the brakes.

While traveling on the highway at approximately 55-60 mph, my 2011 4-door Jeep Wrangler hit a small bump. The Jeep's front-end/steering wheel began to shake uncontrollably. When trying to reduce the speed by braking, the violent shaking only became worse. I was unable to keep the vehicle in the lane which I was driving because of the out-of-control shaking. Had there been other vehicles in the adjacent lanes, there most definitely would have been an accident, with possible injuries, given the rate of speed that I was traveling. I had to reduce the speed of the vehicle simply by not applying the gas or brake, causing cars behind me to have to brake, which in turn could have resulted in additional accidents/injuries. This uncontrollable shaking has occurred in this vehicle approximately 5 times. I have since learned that this is the infamous "death wobble. " since this is a known occurrence, especially in Jeeps, my concern is why this is not being addressed and being required to be fixed. ## VIN failed ## Jeep Wrangler 2011 ##.
