2022 Jeep Wrangler Recalls, Ratings & Complaints

Incident: October 1, 2026 · Filed: October 29, 2026

My vehicle experiences violent front end steering and suspension oscillation ('death wobble') at highway speeds approaching 70 mph, I hit any road bump and it is triggered (bridge seams, potholes, uneven graded patches). It forces me to immediately let off of the accelerator, grip the wheel and slow way down so that it can stabilize again. Creating a potentially life threatening traffic hazard. I bought the jeep brand new with 10 miles on it from the Jeep dealership, I have maintained it solely through the dealership, and have not added any aftermarket upgrades. My first experience was around 23,000 miles. I brought it to the same authorized dealership where they replaced the stabilizer and sold me 4 new tires. 10,000 miles later the exact problem is back.

My 2022 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited Sahara has experienced a recurring steering-wobble condition when traveling at highway speeds and hitting bumps or irregularities in the road. The steering wheel and vehicle shake violently, creating a safety concern because it can be difficult to maintain control of the vehicle during the event. In December 2023, an authorized Jeep dealership documented highway-speed shaking after hitting bumps, verified the concern, found the steering damper weak, and replaced it. In December 2024, the same dealership again verified highway-speed shaking over bumps and replaced the steering damper a second time. In August 2026, the problem returned, with approximately three wobble episodes occurring within a couple of weeks. I brought the vehicle to the dealership specifically for this steering concern. The repair order states: “CUSTOMER STATES STEERING WOBBLING MAYBE THE DEATH WOBBLE.” The dealership again identified the steering damper as needing replacement, and the damper was replaced. The recurring nature of this problem despite repeated steering-damper replacements concerns me because a sudden, violent steering wobble at highway speed may compromise the driver's ability to control the vehicle and create a risk of a crash. I have a video documenting the steering-wheel wobble and repair records from the dealership. The issue has been documented by the authorized dealer on multiple visits. I am reporting this condition because it has recurred after repairs and raises an ongoing safety concern.

My jeep started wobbling on the highway.

My Jeep Wrangler recently developed a noticeable steering shimmy/shaking at highway speeds. I hit a bump in the road and almost caused a loss of control. Three Rivers Chrysler Jeep Dodge Ram (Pittsburgh, PA) documented the concern as “steering shimmy highway speeds” and diagnosed the steering damper as the problem and repaired the problem.

Today is 10/19/2026. I have a 2022 Jeep Wrangler 4Xe Rubicon that has completed all of its safety recalls and recall notices. Each recall notice has been completed and each was marked as having no issues found. After completion of recall notice 68C (NHTSA 25V-741), we began to experience a complete change in how the car operates based on the vehicle mode selected on the 3 button panel (Hybrid, Electric, E-Save). We are now experiencing a consistent inappropriate kicking in of the gasoline engine when selecting and driving in the "Electric" only mode. Our normal driving of this car has occurred on the same roadways since we purchased the car from dealer stock. Prior to the Safety recall notice referred to as "68C/NHTSA 25V-741), we could select the "Electric" mode button on the 3 button panel selection and our 4Xe would run exclusively in the electric mode until it approached or reached the 1% mark. Now, the vehicle will kick in the gasoline engine even when the electric charge is above 50% ( I have actually had it kick in at the 75% mark). In addition, when this happens, the engine will rev to the 3000-4000rpm range unlike when the selection mode is chosen for "Hybrid". Today, while driving in the "Electric" mode and with the battery in excess of 50%, the gasoline engine kicked in about 10x. I finally had to press the "E-save" button to prevent the excessive engine kicking in and revving. Please initiate an investigation on what Chrysler did to change the software that now is rendering my vehicle useless in some respects and in most respects defeats the exact purpose of wishing to run in electric mode if I KNOW my trips will be under 20 miles. The excessive wear, tear, and strain on the engine due to the high revving can NOT in any fathomable way be deemed normal behavior! A review of some Jeep forums and Youtube channels can confirm that other owners are experiencing the same exact issues.

The check engine light was on and it said to service the battery charging components. When driving in hybrid mode it doesn’t switch to use the battery. When I was trying to pull off after stopping, the jeep hesitated and would not move and then all of a sudden jerked and took off almost making me crash and people crash into me.

i PURCHASED MY 2022 JEEP RUBICON 4XE USED ON MARCH 31, 2026. IN APRIL, I HAD A RECALL NOTICE FOR RECALL 68C. I TOOK IT TO MY JEEP DEALER AND HAD THE RECALL DONE. IMMEDATELY, I NOTICED THAT MY ACCELERATION IN ELECTRIC MODE & HYBRID MODE IS DRASTICALLY REDUCED TO THE POINT OF BEING UNSAFE. ATTEMPTING TO MERGE OR PULL OUT INTO TRAFFIC, THE VEHICLE NO LONGER ACCELERATES LIKE IT DID BEFORE THE RECALL 68C WAS DONE. IT FELLS LIKE I AM DRIVING WIHT MY EMERGENCY BREAK ENGAGED, AS THE VEHICLE WILL NOT ACCELERATE NORMALLY. THE DEALER ADVISED THAT EVERYTHING IS NORMAL, HOWEVER IT IS VERY DIFFERENT. I WOULD NOT HAVE BOUGHT THE VEHICLE IF IT HAD A HESITATION WHEN ACCELARATING. LOOKING ONLINE FOR SUGGESTIONS, I DISCOVERED THAT THOUSANDS OF JEEP WRANGLER 4XE OWNERS WHO HAD THE 68C RECALL DONE, HAVE EXPERIENCED THIS ISSUE. I AM SURPRISED THAT NO ONE HAS BEEN KILLED OR SERIOSLY INJURED DUE TO THE HESITATION, CAUSED BY THE RECAL. I WOULD RATHER DEAL WITH THE POSSIBLE RISK OF FIRE THAN HESITATION CAUSED BY THE RECALL "FIX", IN THIS CASE THE CURE IS FAR WORSE AND MORE DANERIOUS THAN THE DISEASE/ISSUE JEEP WAS TRYING TO FIX WITH 68C.
