Do you mean that replacing the steering stabilizer does not actually fix the issue?

Some, but why do you ask???

A big thank you to those who answered my question. I appreciate the help.

My current 2022 Wrangler Sport S is my fourth Jeep, but the first one where I have experienced the "death wobble". It caught my wife while driving on the highway and half scared her to death, so I need to get it fixed before she will be comfortable driving the Jeep again. Fortunately the Jeep...

Yeah. Sorry about that. :) I stopped teaching years ago but the disease just won't let go of me ...

No. It is not. It is 2.8X more than the old premium. it is 380% OF the old premium, but only 280% MORE than the old premium. MORE refers to the increase, not the entire value.

OK. I hate being the "math police", but it is not a 380% increase. It is a 280% increase. The operative word here is "increase". The proper calculation is (1) find the increase, and then (2) compute the %. 1) increase = 416-109 = 307. 2) 307 / 109 = 2.8165 -> 281.65% increase. Still, it is a...

Yeah. Like with most things, if you find someone who has the knowledge and the time you can get stuff done. I have now had 3 or 4 locksmiths come out to try to fix this problem. The first one picked up a genuine Jeep fob (at least it has the Jeep logo on it and looks and feels like the genuine...

That was one of the first things I did as I remembered seeing that they sold fobs when I was last in their store.. They do sell the fobs, but they don't cut the keys or programming the cars. And their price is about the same as the dealer.

To paraphrase Bob Dylan, the times, they hav a-changed. So far I have bought a refurbished Jeep fob for $60 and had one locksmith come out to re-program the Jeep who told me he could not do it because he did not have the right programming tool. Had another locksmith come out who spent 2 1/2...

Never mind. I was able to verify that there is only one frequency used for the 2022 Jeep Wranglers for their fobs.

One of the local locksmiths that said that he could program the fob for our 2022 Wrangler just came out, gave me the fob and then told me that he did not have the equipment to program the newer Jeeps, but arranged for someone else to come and do the programming and key cutting. When I looked at...

:) They directed me to a different website that does carry the 2022 fobs, but that website was exactly the same price as the dealer, so no discount. I may have to end up going to the dealer and just swallowing the high price but this morning I have an appointment with one locksmith who said...

Their website says that they only have fobs for Wranglers up to 2019 and this Jeep is 2022. Seems odd that they only have fobs for older models, but perhaps Chrysler-Fiat stopped making the information or the keys available.

Yes, but that seems to be the way things work here. Find something good, improve it until it is very good, and then continue to "improve" it until it becomes a pain. At least they have not done too much to the Wrangler and in most respects it is still a very good off-road and utility vehicle.

So far this has been a real pain. I checked with local locksmiths and most of them either can not do all of the work (some can cut the key but not program, some can program but not cut the key, and some can do neither), or want to charge the same amount as the dealer. Spoke with one this...

Checked on that yesterday, but it turns out that the deductible on my policy is $1000 and I was told that if I made a claim there would be an increase in my policy premium. Given that the cost of all of this (rekeying all of the locks in the house and replacing the fob is less than that I am...

Where do you get this remote start kit? The dealer made no mention of it and only talked about buying a new fob for $300. 2 fobs for $325 seems like a bargain comparatively speaking.

Yes, and no. It is an automatic but it does not have remote start (as far as I know. There is no remote start button on the fob). And yes, I am wondering why you are asking.

Maybe, but maybe not. This has been a bit of a learning experience for me, and what I have found out is a bit of a surprise. First, they don't program the fob. They program the Jeep to accept the frequency of the fob, and that requires some disassembly of parts of the Jeep to access the...
