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.

The first instance of this issue occurred on June 1, 2024, while driving to my daughter’s soccer tournament. My Jeep abruptly shut off in the middle of the freeway, displaying a “prepare to stop” warning, and left me stranded on the side of the road. The vehicle would not restart for 30 minutes. Since then, this problem has occurred five times, creating unsafe and unpredictable situations. I am constantly worried about the vehicle’s reliability, as it has placed me in frightening and dangerous circumstances. Despite the severity of the issue, Jeep has been unable to resolve the problem and has not provided a loaner vehicle. This is a matter of safety, not convenience, and it requires immediate attention.

We have a 4xe jeep wrangler Rubicon X that we purchased for $70,000. We purchased this vehicle to take advantage of the hybrid features, only to later find out that these batteries that are installed in these vehicles have the potential to explode, and cause massive property damage. This is a total defect from the manufacturer and as a consumer I should not have to make financial sacrifices to trade in a vehicle that's 8 months old that's significantly decreased in value by over 30k in such a short time period. Jeep, Stellantis, and the dealerships need to stop selling these hazardous vehicles and make this right to their consumers. I would like to resolve this matter now before seeking legal counsel on my behalf.
