Description of the problem	"death wobble". I experienced this on a short two hour trip where i couldn't control the card. Every time i hit a bump or tired to turn the car was hard to steer. This jeep has on 40k on it and is 4 years old. I was travelling on the highway and genuinely feared for my life. I was over halfway to my destination so i got off the highway and took the back roads with my hazards on and went slow. The fact that jeep is unwilling to reimburse me for the cost of the repair is upsetting. But what is more upsetting is how they have not issued a recall on this vehicle. I have spoken to several people with regards to the exact same issue and not just with the patriot. This needs to be addressed before someone gets seriously injured or worse. I have no faith in the company now and do not trust the safety of the vehicle.
