Owner-Reported Issues (20 of 334)
Steering,suspension →3 issues
Your Jeep experiences violent shaking in the front end (called "death wobble") while driving on the highway, occurring multiple times over the past month. This shaking is severe enough that you felt compelled to brake suddenly at 75 mph, creating a dangerous situation. Even after getting a wheel alignment and installing new shocks, the problem continues to happen. This issue likely requires inspection of the steering and suspension components to identify what's causing the violent vibration.

Your 2022 Jeep Wrangler experiences a dangerous steering vibration called "death wobble" that occurs unpredictably at highway speeds above 50 mph. This problem has happened multiple times despite two replacements of the drag link and ends, and has put you in near-miss situations with other vehicles. Service centers have inspected it three times but cannot reproduce the issue consistently, and they're now asking for a $229 diagnostic fee to have an authorized agent investigate further. Fixing this will likely require a thorough suspension and steering system inspection to identify and replace the loose or worn component causing the vibration.

While driving at highway speeds (65-70 mph) on a curved road with an uneven surface, your steering suddenly became unstable in what's known as a 'death wobble' — the vehicle didn't respond normally until you slowed to 45-50 mph. You previously had the steering dampener replaced for the same issue, but the problem has returned.

Fuel/propulsion System →2 issues
Your 2022 Jeep Wrangler is leaking oil and diesel fuel, which creates a fire hazard and makes the vehicle unsafe to drive. The dealership has attempted repairs four times but hasn't permanently fixed the problem, and the manufacturer has stopped providing assistance. You'll likely need the fuel system seals, gaskets, or injectors inspected and replaced to stop the leaks.

Your Jeep is displaying a "Performance Limited Service Fuel System" warning message when you're slowing down or coasting to a stop. The dealer has indicated there's no recall available and they're unable to resolve the issue. This warning suggests your fuel system isn't operating at full capacity. Diagnosing and fixing this will likely require fuel system component inspection, fuel filter replacement, or fuel pump evaluation.

Suspension →2 issues
Your steering dampener may be failing, causing your entire vehicle to shake and wobble uncontrollably without warning at highway speeds. This happened once at 4,000 miles (repaired by dealer) and again at 16,700 miles, nearly causing a loss of control incident. The repair will likely involve replacing the steering dampener and potentially inspecting other front suspension components for wear or damage.

Your Jeep experiences violent shaking in the front end at highway speeds above 60 MPH, especially when transitioning between road surfaces like asphalt to bridge joints or pavement seams. This has happened multiple times. A repair shop inspected it but found no visible issues, though they noted this is a known problem with Jeeps and mentioned a sway bar didn't resolve it in their experience. The fix will likely require a thorough suspension inspection and possible replacement of steering or suspension components like tie rods, control arm bushings, or bearings.

Electrical System,engine,fuel/propulsion System →2 issues
After having recall service 68C performed in January, your vehicle has experienced multiple issues including a check engine light, sluggish performance in both hybrid and electric modes, rough idle and jumping when shifting into drive, and an oil change indicator that won't clear. Most critically, you experienced a complete loss of power while driving on the highway, which is a serious safety hazard. The dealer has replaced the electric coolant heater and all four shocks, but the underlying electrical and engine control issues may require diagnostic testing to identify what the recall service affected.

After having a software update performed at the dealership under recall 68C, your Jeep's hybrid engine behavior changed. When driving in hybrid mode on gentle hills (1-2% grade), the gas engine now engages at 3,000 RPM instead of the previous 2,000 RPM, which you believe is unnecessary and excessive for those conditions. This increased RPM engagement began immediately after the recall service and has never occurred before the software update.

Electrical System →2 issues
Two weeks after a hybrid battery software recall was completed, your vehicle lost all power while driving at 70 mph in heavy traffic and shut down completely on the highway. You noticed dashboard lights flashing, warning messages appearing, and a burning plastic smell — the cause was an electrical wire connected to the fuse block that had melted at its terminal connection. Your vehicle needed to be towed to a shop, and the fuse block may need to be replaced to resolve the issue.

After the dealership completed a recall repair (25V741000) on your Jeep's hybrid battery system, your 12V battery has started failing repeatedly and eventually died within two weeks. You're experiencing power loss at red lights, rapid battery drain when stopped or parked, and a check engine light that keeps appearing. The 12V battery may need replacement, and the dealership should investigate whether the recall work affected the battery's charging or electrical connections.

Steering,unknown Or Other →1 issue
Your Jeep's power steering system caught fire. This is part of a known issue affecting 2021-2023 Jeep models. The fire did not result in a crash, but this is a serious safety hazard that requires immediate professional inspection and repair.

Steering,electrical System,air Bags →1 issue
Your 2022 Jeep Wrangler experienced multiple mechanical problems before your November 2025 rollover accident, including overheating, shaking, and loud noises that raised safety concerns. After the crash, the airbags did not deploy, and the manufacturer's investigation concluded the crash conditions didn't warrant deployment, but you believe pre-existing mechanical or sensor issues may have contributed to the accident. You're concerned that the manufacturer's investigation wasn't independent and that your Lemon Law claim was improperly denied without fully considering the pattern of defects. Resolving this would likely require a comprehensive independent inspection of steering, electrical, and airbag systems, plus review of maintenance and repair records.

Steering →1 issue
Your steering wheel shakes violently at highway speeds (the 'death wobble'), even though no warning lights appear. The dealer replaced your steering damper and tie rod, but the problem kept happening multiple times. This is a serious steering control issue that needs immediate attention to ensure safe driving.

Electrical System,fuel/propulsion System →1 issue
Your 2022 Jeep Wrangler 4xe suddenly lost power while driving on the highway during heavy traffic, causing the vehicle to shake and lunge unpredictably. You had to slowly limp the vehicle to a dealership with hazard lights on.

Steering,electrical System,unknown Or Other →1 issue
Your Jeep is experiencing serious electrical communication problems between its computer modules. When these modules fail to communicate properly, your power steering suddenly stops working — even while driving at highway speeds — and your wipers, warning lights, and other systems activate uncontrollably without being able to turn the vehicle off. The dealer has replaced the power steering system and attempted wiring repairs, but the problem persists and is becoming more intermittent and unpredictable. Fixing this will likely require a complete electrical diagnostic and reprogramming or replacement of the vehicle's communication modules and related wiring harnesses.

Electrical System,unknown Or Other →1 issue
Your Wrangler 4xe's electronic cabin heater (the heating system used in electric mode) isn't working properly, causing the "Electric mode unavailable" message and check engine light to appear. Without proper heat regulation, extreme temperatures could build up in the engine bay and potentially damage the electric components. The issue requires the heater element to be replaced by a technician who can diagnose and swap out the faulty heating component.
