Leaking transmission fluid
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.
