    I have experienced the wobble in with my Cherokee Trail Hawk too.  I am using  SMI AirforceOne controller with the wiring kit that provides power to the towed vehicle with the ignition off.  The Jeep dealerships that I have contacted to make the modification are hesitant to make it because they are unfamiliar with the SMI.  Is there anyone there with this configuration that has been successful?

    I too have the SMI AirForce One and I have never had a problem with the kit.  I towed my 2014 Cherokee for 2 years with the death wobble occasionally and then I had to pay to have the modification installed.  I have not had any wobble in the past year so the mod does work.  I have towed the Cherokee for about 12,000 since the mod was installed.  I have even towed my Cherokee for 3 straight days and it started right up when I disconnected from the coach.  However, the aluminum frame that the tow bar base plate attaches to, has completely broken off after 39,000 miles of towing and has also completely ruined my Blue Ox Aventa tow bar.

    In reference to MARCRV post of Apr 20, 2016, I have just had my 2014 Cherokee repaired at a reputable body shop.  They found that the welds on the aluminum frames on both sides of the jeep had been completely broken off.  Anyone towing a jeep Cherokee needs to take it to a dealer for repair.  It is only a matter of time before these jeeps begin breaking loose from being towed and crashing into something.  My guess is that had I been going 200 miles instead of 40, I would no longer have a jeep Cherokee.

    I have a 2001 Jeep Grand Cherokee Limited and was considering trading for a new model, however after reading all the negative posts about the newer Jeeps, I am having second thoughts. My Jeep has about 216000 miles on the odometer and another 100000 being towed and I have never had any kind of problem towing. I will keep reading the posts here in case there is a resolution to the FDCM problem since i would really like to have another Jeep.
