Upon reaching about 60 MPH on the freeway, the vehicle suddenly began to shake violently, severely reducing my ability to steer and control the vehicle. After quickly (and dangerously) reducing my speed, it stopped, but it occurred again two more times. I pulled over and turned the car off, did a quick inspection and found nothing out of order. When I resumed my trip, the problem did not occur again. After getting home, I searched the Internet and found out that my Jeep suffered from what is called the "Death Wobble". Apparently, Jeep has known about the problem for years and has not corrected this dangerous and scary defect.

When traveling on the highway if you switch lanes or hit a bump, the jeep shakes violently and you have to hit your brakes to make it stop. A rented vehicle of the same make model and year had the same issue for family members in September of 2024. We have been taking video, took it to jeep and the tech took it for a 3 mile ride (non highway) and said nothing is wrong but they recommended a dampener or stabilizers, but this jeep is $1100/month and brand new. There are no warnings, and the shaking is absolutely hard to control. Less than 10,000 miles and it’s a safety concern for any jeep on the highways. It’s dangerous for all vehicles to be around the jeep when it begins shaking. All we can do for now, unless we wreck, is video it’s issue. We have traveled from Kansas to Washington and are almost back to Kansas, but the issue has gotten more dangerous as we have traveled. It feels like the wheels will actually fall off the arms of the jeep. It’s incredibly scary. Video not an option to upload below, but we can get info from jeep tech showing we told them the issue. The jeep is available for inspection and the issue will not stop, it’s a constant and there’s no way this is normal.
