  1. Death Wobble - Jeep JL 2018 - under 7,000 miles, bought new

    Not sure, but my local dealer told me that FCA will launch some sort of audit on their service work, if they replace a part under warranty, and immediately replace another part right after. They get dinged for "throwing parts" at a problem that they may have not properly diagnosed. To avoid...
  2. Death Wobble - Jeep JL 2018 - under 7,000 miles, bought new

    I had a similar wobbling issue. After negotiating with my local dealer, they agreed to replace the stabilizer & front track bar. My steering was pretty dead on center before taking it in for the work, but after getting it back I noticed it was tracking bad to the right. My assumption was that...
  3. Issue Bulletin: Shimmy Felt in Front End - Jan 31 2019 Star case # S1819000004

    Interesting...my local dealer went ahead with replacing my steering stabilizer with latest OEM one (3rd revision?) last week. Wish I would have known FCA was advising against using the new OEM part... Guess I'll have to wait and see how it goes
  4. Updated front trackbar with stiffer bushings coming to help cure STEERING issues 68394087AA

    Hmm...interesting. Is it something they should have done without me asking? It seems like common sense to me that if they did work on the steering mechanisms of the vehicle, and caused it to go out of alignment, that they would correct that before giving it back. Was that something I should...
  5. Updated front trackbar with stiffer bushings coming to help cure STEERING issues 68394087AA

    That's a great question....I'll have to follow-up with my dealer to see if they performed an alignment after doing the install work. I just assumed that they'd want to test drive the vehicle after finishing work on things that affect steering, in which case they should have noticed it wasn't...
  6. Dr deathwobble

    I haven't had the opportunity to thoroughly test the wobbling I was getting when hitting bumps above 70mph, but initial indications is that it feels more solid when hitting bumps. I'll know more after getting to drive it on a patch of hwy road that is a few hours away from where I live...
  7. Dr deathwobble

    The problem with this particular issue is that there is no one magic bullet that is causing the problems with steering & wobbling. After talking with my local dealer, I found out the mechanics work off commission, and they aren't compensated for their time spent on the vehicle unless they are...
  8. Updated front trackbar with stiffer bushings coming to help cure STEERING issues 68394087AA

    I recently started experiencing severe wobbling after hitting bumps at highway speeds and brought my Jeep in to a local dealer to be evaluated. I referenced some of the recent STAR memos regarding updated steering stabilizers and front track bar, and reached an agreement with them to replace...
  9. Updated front trackbar with stiffer bushings coming to help cure STEERING issues 68394087AA

    Did replacing the trackbar with the new factory model not help?
  10. FYI found the cause of my death wobble

    I got my JLU Wrangler in May 2018 and have had a similar experience. The Jeep is completely stock, with the stock tires that come on a Sahara. I've not taken it off-road yet, and use it as a daily driver to bop around town, and for road trips. From city to highway driving, it handled really...
  11. Updated front trackbar with stiffer bushings coming to help cure STEERING issues 68394087AA

    I'm very interested to hear if this made a difference for you. I was able to negotiate with my local dealer to order the new track bar, and replace the old one, in effort to troubleshoot the issue.
  12. Climate Control Issue?

    So that I understand correctly...while in "Auto", setting the temperature on the climate control system doesn't mean that should be the temperature of the air coming out of the system, but instead, the temperature of the system will be what is needed to get the internal cabin temp to what you've...
  13. Updated front trackbar with stiffer bushings coming to help cure STEERING issues 68394087AA

    I'm just a few hundred miles over 13k and experienced my first "death wobble" event this weekend. The ride has been great up to this point (much smoother than my wife's JK), and then I hit a patch of asphalt on the highway @ about 75mph and the entire front end & steering wheel started shaking...
  14. Pixel 3XL and Uconnect Issues

    I've tried....I've restarted the phone, then plugged it in the USB C port...no dice. I've tried restarting the phone with it plugged in..no dice. I reached out to FCA and learned that Google sends updates to FCA, when they make changes to their software, so that the UConnect system can...
  15. UConnect4 and Android Auto mapping over Bluetooth

    In regard to wireless Android Auto displaying and interfacing through your head unit, my understanding is that it is only available on a select few head unit models (only aftermarket as far as I can tell so far) and it requires WiFi in your vehicle. That said, I'm not sure that the new UConnect...
  16. Pixel 3XL and Uconnect Issues

    Same here...I downloaded the new beta version of Google Play Services, upon the request of the Google support tech, and it fixed the issue with volume being muted on the front speakers, and loss of audio control. Unfortunately, I've not been able to get AA to load on the head unit since. Where...
  17. Pixel 3XL and Uconnect Issues

    I came to the forums to see if others were having problems with their Pixel 3 phones.... I don't think the problems we are experiencing are related to the UConnect head unit. My old Samsung S6 Active worked with AA flawlessly. Since I've updated to the Pixel 3 XL, AA doesn't always load when...
  18. Passive Entry - Have to wait for door button to lock doors

    I'm experiencing something with my JLU that I wanted to check-in with others to see if this is working as intended or is something wrong with my wrangler. I have passive entry equipped, where I can lock the doors by having the key fob near by and pressing the button on the door handle...
  19. Jeep Wrangler JL Stock Sound System

    Any idea how much power the factory Alpine amp is pushing, and how much is going to the sub?
  20. Customizaable screens - what do you go with?

    I discovered the other day that you can also change the climate settings (temp) with UConnect Voice Commands. Hit the voice activation button the steering wheel and say something to the effect of "Change temp to 70 degrees..etc"
