Steering Column problems of the 2018 Jeep Wrangler

I was going around the corner and the steering wheel locked up making it to where I had to pull hard the other way just to unlock it. And when I first got this vehicle the windshield shattered within two months of owning this Jeep. And now the steering wheel is locking up and also my controls are not working on my steering wheel and the column in the middle ac heater heater all the controls.

We bought this vehicle from hoffer Jeep in topeka, KS. The vehicle was won buy a person at a casino event so we are the 2nd owner. The vehicle had, I believe under 2k miles, upon our purchase. Since, we have owned the vehicle it has consistently had a "death wobble". I simply cannot count how many times at or under mandated highway speeds this vehicle has entered a 'death wobble". The most recent was from returning from manhattan KS to kansas city the vehicle entered a "death wobble" no less than 4 times. The last time I was driving 5 miles under the 75mph speed limit when hitting some road chatter, nothing significant, caused uncontrollable chatter in front wheels, axle, generating strong vibration through the steering column and wheel. I released the accelerator and the vehicle came out of the "death wobble" at 27mph, on an incredibly busy highway. This was/is unsafe at highway speeds. The dangers it caused could have been catastrophic in nature and need to be addressed before someone is killed. This vehicle is stock and has not had its suspension, tires, etc. , adjusted or manipulated in any shape, fashion, or form. Please advise on how this matter should be dealt with going forward? thanks.

While driving at highway speeds, a small bump in the road will cause the steering column to shake excessively along with the front wheels going into a severe wobble. This wobble will not stop until the vehicle slows down under 15 mph.

I was driving down the highway when my Jeep Wrangler jl hit a bump and the car started shaking uncontrollably and it was very difficult to drive. I wasn't sure what was happening so I slowed down significantly in case I needed to pull over. The shaking then stopped but after about 15-20 seconds. Not less that a mile down the road did this exact same thing happen again after I hit a bump. It lasted just as long and didn't stop until I slowed down significantly. I believe this is related to an issue with the front suspension and steering column.

2018 Jeep Wrangler has terrifying steering issues. Consistently while steering a highway curve at 40-55 mph my Jeep steering disengages and results in an unsafe inability to maintain the steering column. The steering can be described as loose and commonly described by passengers as the unsettling feeling that the frame of the vehicle is coming off the wheels. Please look into this safety issue. I have not been injured yet but if this continues I don't think it will remain that way.

While stepping on the brakes, the service shifter light comes on, power steering goes out, then the dashboard goes crazy with all sorts of warnings blinking and dinging: sway bar, stability control, blind spot alert, auto park, etc. Temp goes up and down, speedometer goes crazy. When the vehicle is shut off and re-started, it usually starts as normal. Most occurrences have been when slowing down (in line at a drive thru, approaching a stoplight). The Jeep has been in the shop 4 times. This service shifter late first came on June 23 and it occurred four times that day. First they repaired the power steering. The problem happened again and they replaced the module in the steering column. The problem happened again and the dealership could not duplicate the problem. It happened again and the vehicle had to be towed to the dealership where it is still sitting.

When driving at highway speed, approx 70 mph, and hitting a small bump in the road the steering column and interior of the car shook violently. (death wobble). I had to slow down rather quickly and was almost rear ended by the car behind me,. This happened prior and we brought it back to the dealer and they the replaced a part, but that obviously that did not fix the problem. The first time it happened my wife was driving and I told her it's just a Jeep and that is how they ride over bumps, but after it happened to me, I knew right away that was what she felt the first time! we brought the car to the dealership and they said it this is not the first time someone has complained about this. The car is at the dealership and we are not sure it will ever be fixed properly. She does not want to drive the car again.

Death wobble, has been at the dealership 4 times and was just picked up for the 5th time. Today they are replacing recalled parts this happens at ant speed at this point in time. And began in January 2019. I have only had the vehicle since July 2018. In February the steering damper was replace, at this time we also had an issue with the steering column locking up while driving nothing was fixed on that issue only the steering damper, about 3000 miles later, the wobble began again, in July 2019 the vehicle went back in for the replacement of the steering damper, in August it went back in for what they stated was the recalled part a new steering damper was replaced, that night I drove the Jeep home and still had the wobble, they picked it up last week to replace the steering damper and nothing was done, the picked it up today to do a new task bar and an alignment. This vehicle is unsafe. I have already lost one child due to an automobile accident. This does not make me feel safe driving this vehicle.

At highway speeds (60+ mph), the entire steering column and Jeep shakes after I pass over a bridge. The only way to come out of the shake is to lower my speed down to about 40 mph which is unsafe when in heavy traffic. The first time it happened (~10,000 miles on my new Jeep) with intensity, I would have lost control of my vehicle if I did not have both hands on the wheel. I was truly scared. The dealership replaced my steering wheel damper which helped for a little while. About 2 months later (~13,000 miles on my Jeep), it happened again. The vehicle is currently at the dealership and they are looking it over again.

Too much play in the steering wheel, dead zone between 11:00 and 1:00. Have to drive with two hands on the wheel at all times to keep it in a straight line and feels dangerous at highway speeds. Dealership says column flash is up to date and is operating as designed. If that indeed is the case, then it's a bad design. Been waiting 8 months to hear of a fix but nothing as of 3/07/2019.

Having issues with steering completely locking up when driving. Notice the effect when driving fast and slow. Also, you can hear a click from the steering column when turning past the center alignment.
