Fixing The Death Wobble While Flat Towing A 2018 Jeep Cherokee Trailhawk
Question:
PLEASE HELP! In late 2017, etrailer installed Air Force One in our 2018 Jeep Cherokee Trailhawk and a Blue Ox base plate along with a avail tow bar. Also etrailer installed the air connectors in our first 45foot Motorhome Thor Tuscany. Last year we bought a new motorhome, Newmar King Aire, and since this second motorhome we have had serious death wobble problems probably about 15+. We only have the death wobble when we are towing and never had this problem with our first motorhome. Its happened at slow and fast speeds and a variety of road conditions. We are desperately trying to find help in how to resolve this. We met with Glendale Jeep in St Louis yesterday and they suggested we touch base with you. We are currently in 370 Lakeside Park campground in St Peters MO very close to you. Please call Cathy and Allyn Stanton at 224.622.4570. Thank you!

Newer model Jeeps have electric power steering systems that require activation while flat towing to prevent the death wobble. You'll have to purchase the Mopar Recreational Flat Tow Wiring Kit part 68321424AB through a dealer to activate the power steering and resolve the death wobble.
Activating the electric power steering will put a drain on your vehicle's battery so you'll also want the BrakeBuddy Towed Vehicle Battery Charge Kit Item # BB54FR maintain the charge level of your battery.
