STEERING

Chrysler (FCA US LLC) is recalling certain 2019 Jeep Wrangler and 2019 Ram 1500 vehicles. These vehicles have improperly machined steering column stub shafts that may break, possibly causing the steering wheel to detach from the steering column.

Fix: Chrysler will notify owners, and dealers will inspect the steering column, replacing it, as necessary, free of charge. The recall began April 5, 2019. Owners may contact FCA US customer service at 1-800-853-1403. Chrysler's number for this recall is V29.

This phenomenon causes the entire front end to shake violently, requiring me to immediately slow down to regain control of the vehicle. This poses an extreme safety risk to myself, my passengers, and other motorists. I believe my vehicle has an issue with steering damper failure - the exact same defect addressed in Customer Satisfaction Notification V41 issued by FCA in June 2019.

The problem occurs in my 2019 Jeep Wrangler, suddenly, typically after hitting a small bump or uneven section of pavement at around 60–70 MPH. The entire front end begins to shake violently, and the steering wheel jerks rapidly back and forth, making it extremely difficult to maintain control of the vehicle.

My 2019 Jeep Wrangler is experiencing the "death wobble" every time I hit any uneven pavement while traveling at 60-65. This is extremely unsettling and could cause serious injury or death. Why haven't all the Jeeps during this time span been recalled considering the number of reports of this issue on the 2019 Jeep Wrangler?

While driving at interstate speed and passing over an irregular surface the jeep started to shimmy and I later found out it was called "Death Wobble". The jeep started to wonder across the lanes of the highway and I had to slow to 45 MPH to stop the shimmy and get control of the vehicle, I assume the the problem is in the steering or the front suspension.

The steering on this vehicle has always seem to have a lack of input, just wonders about the lane. Driving it on a windy day is bordered on dangerous as the wind will push you around. The Jeep has a pull to the right and while you counter steer that and get a gust also pushing you left, you now are in the other lane.

Very loose steering. It appears a recall has been completed on my vehicle (chrysler v41) to fix this issue, but the issue is still evident. Steering wheel has too much play in it when driving, especially at highway speeds.

The 2019 jeep wrangler unlimited rubicon has loose steering which causes the vehicle to wander left or right while driving straight in both city and interstate scenarios. It requires constant correction and if you hit a big gust of wind, it's very hard to control. I've had it for just over 1 week and has approximately 800 miles.

Extremely difficult to keep the vehicle from wandering, especially at speeds 65mph and above. There is excessive play in the steering wheel, and the vehicle wanders to the right when letting go of the steering wheel, at any speed. Took the brand new vehicle to the service department, where they performed an alignment, and the issue remains exactly the same.

Excess play in steering while driving. The excess play gets worse at highway speeds and requires constant small corrections in the steering in order to stay in your lane. This "wandering" of the vehicle gets dangerous as your are constantly trying to keep the vehicle from wandering into other lanes.
