Description of the problem	I purchased a new 2008 jeep wrangler sahara edition in april of 2008. Since november of 2008 i have had several issues with the jeep which are widely reported on the internet. The first issue was the transmission would pop out of first gear when it was cold or rainy. I immediately took it back to the dealer but they would not fix it because they couldn't get the problem to reoccur. It took chrysler 1 year before they acknowledged the problem. So in the spring of 2010 they installed a gear rebuild kit. Meanwhile i was driving an unsafe vehicle for an entire year. The mechanic informed me that this was a temporary fix and that the problem would likely occur again. Sure enough just six months ago the transmission started to pop out of first gear. Now i am battling to try and get the dealer to fix it again. The second issue which just occurred last week and earlier today is what the internet refers to as the "death wobble." once i get above 55mph and i hit a pot hole the jeep wobbles uncontrollably until i completely stop. According to most forums the dealership also gives customers a very hard time about fixing this issue as well. I will attempt to contact the dealer tomorrow about the death wobble. This jeep wrangler 07-10 has some serious issues which need to be address immediately. Chrysler needs to issue recalls before someone gets seriously hurt. This is my third jeep wrangler, my first new wrangler, and i am very disappointed in it.
