Steering damper has been replaced 4 times due to random starting of violent shaking when hitting a bump on the highway. When this shake occurs the vehicle is harder to control and entire vehicle shakes. It was replaced 4 times but they had 6 chances to permanently fix this issue. Some times they chose not to do any work on the car. Being as this makes the vehicle harder to control, hitting another bump while shaking causes dangerous unpredictability when driving.

1. Driving 70 mph on [XXX], the road was somewhat rough. I experienced severe wobbling (Chrysler calls this a shimmy) from the front end up to the steering wheel.

Since we purchased this jeep new it has been plagued with steering wandering and pulls to left or right without warning. It was dangerous to drive and unsafe for my family. After some researched I learned there was a technical service bulletin (8-003-21) for the 2018-2020 JL and supposedly the 2021 had the upgraded steering gear and updated software for the electric power steering. However this really didn't solved the problem and may owners have been complaining about the same unsafe wandering or pulling of the vehicle from left or right. …

My 2021 Wrangler began experiencing a violent shaking and reduction of steering control in July 2023. The violent shaking would begin if my vehicle hit a bump while traveling at 65 mph or more. To regain control, I would have to brake and reduce speed to under 65mph (which also is extremely dangerous to do on a freeway). Thunder Jeep in Bartow, FL replaced a broken steering component that temporarily fixed the issue. The issue has now returned in late January 2024. I do not feel safe driving this vehicle.

I took my 2021 diesel Jeep in for a Y81 Emissions recall on 02.19.24. Since then, my vehicle has had its check engine light go on SIX TIMES with a P0133 alert which refers to an O2 sensor.

Now we are in the middle of winter and I feel like the vehicle is about to die at intersections and roundabouts when I approach them.

Unknown. Car came to a sudden stop while driving and the lights beside the gear started flashing. A message on the dashboard popped up that said for me to put the car in park and then select my desired gear. Major safety concern for a car to just shut down for no reason while driving down the street. Luckily I was on a back road with little traffic.

While turning at low speeds (pulling into a parking spot) and the cruise control is turned on the "set cruise" button is elevated and can be accidentally hit. If the speed of the vehicle is under 20mph it will automatically set the cruise speed to 20mph causing the vehicle to accelerate. This elevated "set cruise" button actives the regular cruise and not the adaptive cruise. This has happened to me over a dozen times. I am lucky it has not caused a wreck.

My 2021 Wrangler began experiencing a violent shaking and reduction of steering control in July 2023. The violent shaking would begin if my vehicle hit a bump while traveling at 65 mph or more. To regain control, I would have to brake and reduce speed to under 65mph (which also is extremely dangerous to do on a freeway). Thunder Jeep in Bartow, FL replaced a broken steering component that temporarily fixed the issue. The issue has now returned in late January 2024. I do not feel safe driving this vehicle.

This is about the new Jeep Rubicon 4XE Hybrid Wrangler. We were traveling slowly on a dirt road in our new Jeep. Suddenly it began to slow down and it stopped. It would not move any further. The shifter was frozen in Park. Lights and warnings were illuminated on the dash that were not on before this happened. We were in a wilderness and had no cell reception whatsoever. It would not start, drive or otherwise move. Eventually someone came by and took us into a small town where we called the dealer for assistance. They told us to call Jeep Roadsi…

On Monday the Wrangler began to have electrical problems, the sound system cut off and then the climate control quit working. The car was running rough, jerky like an acceleration problem. By Tuesday afternoon it would not start right off. When I got it to start the same problems happened with the radio, climate control, and the screen cut off. I tried to put the car in reverse but the P would only flash. I attempted to turn the car off, it would not turn off until I cycled through all of the buttons. I attempted to restart the car and we…

I was driving my 21 4xe on e-save mode with a quarter tank of gas left and about quarter of my battery life left when it suddenly powered down while driving. I had my ten year old son with me when the Jeep suddenly shut down in the middle of the street without warning. Seconds before shutting down the “D” light on the shifter started blinking, a red battery indicator flashed on the screen and then it was dead. I moved to the far tight lane as fast as I could. Although I was able to get over, it still died in the middle of moving traffic. I …

There is an option to engage "Full Regen Mode" to recharge the battery while driving in Hybrid mode. As I was driving with this on, i took my foot off the accelerator, so the vehicle slowed down under "Full Regen Mode" as it is supposed to. But then the front tires went over a pothole/break in the road, and the vehicle sped up instantly. This happened two more times, and in both instances the vehicle sped up on its own when it encountered a break in the road while on "Full Regen Mode" with my foot off of the accelerator. The third time was in a…
