I was driving my 2020 jeep wrangler and I had a busy intersection and the engine stopped. I tried to restart the engine that did not work. I called AAA for a jump and they sent a technician and it still would not start. I had to have it towed to a local Jeep dealership. Everything electronically was flashing on the dashboard. My hazard lights would work on and off. The wipers started going, and I could not get the Jeep out of the park. After 2 1/2 hours in this busy intersection, the tow truck appeared. The vehicle is in the shop right now, and there was no warnings or messages that appeared.

When driving on the interstate and going highway speeds, my Jeep will begin to wobble profusely and I must immediately get off the road as fast as possible to regain control. "Death wobble". All original factory parts and tires on the vehicle and this happens every time that I get on the highway and go over 55 miles per hour and hit any road defect, whether it be a bump or bridge gap. I have had the alignment checked and it does not help the problem at all. No warning lights or any type of notification other than the steering wheel beginning to shake and lose control of the front steering.

my jeeps (2020 4door wrangler unlimited sport JL) VIN does not come back to any recalls on the NHTSA but it has the old aluminum steering gear part# (P68250506AE) and needs to be replaced by the new part# (68507569AA) and a EHPS software eopdate per TSB 08-003-21 REV. A. some dealers are not honoring the TSB if the VIN does not come back to a recall. this issues causes unsafe steering wander and lead pull left to right. I think the dealers should be notified that there are still jeeps with the aluminum steering gear that does not show up on recalls.

2020 Jeep Rubicon - wife was driving 60 mph on highway, went over a small bump and the steering wheel began shaking violently causing her to lose control. She was able to gain control and get to the side of the road, almost getting hit by several vehicles. She turned the Jeep off and restarted. She began traveling again, going slower this time, and it didn't happen again for about 30 minutes. She again went over a small bump (the dividers in the road where it switches to a bridge) and it began to shake bad again. I read online that this is a known problem. This is not safe. She could have been hit, or she could have hit someone. She is so terrified, she will no longer drive the vehicle.
