Two problems related to front suspension stabilizer bar have been reported for the 2018 Jeep Wrangler. The most recently reported issues are listed below.

1 Front Suspension Stabilizer Bar problem

Failure Date: 10/22/2018

This vehicle has "death wobble" as it has been called. When driving at highway speeds and hitting a bump, bridge joint, or imperfection in the road, the front end violently shakes. If loosen grip on wheel it gets worse. It will continue for miles shaking the vehicle excessively. Only way to stop the shaking is to slow to about 50 mph. Started at about 12, 400 miles. Took to shop and their guy called it death wobble. The more you drive the worse it gets, and in Nov about 14th or so they had me come in and put a aftermarket hd steering stabilizer on it. It worked for about 1500 miles then the wobble returned. I reported it and on the 17th Dec they had me come in and put factory stabilizer bar on and toed in my front alignment. That worked for two days. Wobble came back and I reported it. The more I drive the worse it gets. I went to shop on 31 Dec to see what we are doing. They said they would get back to me. Problem is not stabilizers and toe alignment. Geometric and something is wearing out causing all this. The effectiveness of stabilizers are lasting less each time. Band aid for the bigger issue. I have owned 18 Jeeps and have 4 currently, all Wrangler/tj/cj. None have done this or do this. Modified or not. And this new 2018 jl is stock.

2 Front Suspension Stabilizer Bar problem

Failure Date: 05/31/2018

While driving the posted speed limits, on any street, I am constantly fighting with the steering wheel jerks out of my hands, even though I had several professionals look at my tires, wheels, suspension components, tie rods, stabilizer bar, steering dampener, ball joints, etc. My Jeep has this massive death wabble, where I constantly have to fight the steering wheel! on 15+ different times (it does not matter if I am driving on a hwy 70mph, secondary st's 40mph, 5-lane st's at 50mph, or while driving in a subdivision at 25mph), just trying to turn my Jeep becomes a huge challenge, even on a good day! I believe that my electric power steering is also defective too, the steering wheel violently jerks me into oncoming traffic, & into others lanes without any warnings! I finally contacted �synergy manufacturing� who told me that all of the steering components on the jl's are nothing but cheap garbage, that all needs to be replaced! they have a replacement kit, which fixes the problems, for less than $1,200! which sounds like a bargain, if it means that my family remains safe, compared to being killed in yet another fca death trap! also, one's fire retardant blanket (under the hood), is falling apart! I only have 1,800 original miles on it, its never even been off road yet! I've gone to 7 different Jeep dealers, & nobody has any new replacement parts, & all of their customers need to get in line before they shall even look at my Jeep! I would expect a flawless running & driving Jeep jl Wrangler unlimited rubicon, after spending well over $60,000!!! can you please help me? all one has to do, is search any of the Jeep jl forums, search youtube, e. G. , & one shall see thousands of exactly the same complaints! never again fca, you lost me as a customer, its a miracle that my family & I aren't dead!!!.
