My DW Story - 2018 JLU Sahara 4 dr-
Had the recall for the V41 done. (New stabilizer installed) Correctly because I looked at it.
A month later, about 1000 miles, I hit an expansion joint on a bridge going 65 MPH. Complete 'Death Wobble' could not stop it until I dropped below 40 MPH. Not fun in the high speed lane. The next day bringing it to the dealer it did it again after driving over an overpass/ expansion joint.
This time they replaced the stabilizer again (as they claimed it had an air bubble in it) not allowing it to recover. They then changed a tie-rod which must have been damaged from the wobble. Then they aligned it.

Seems to be ok, but I thought that after the first fix. Time will tell.

Hopefully NHTSA will look a little closer at this NON Safety issue

We just picked up a 19. Hit an expansion joint at 75 and got into a serious death wobble. Had to come to a complete stop (in the emergency lane) to stop it. Going in for the V41 next week. Fingers crossed they will fix this properly.
