Description of the problem	While driving down a highway at approximately 45-50 mph, drove over a patched area of the roadway while steering left. What ensued was pure [xxx]. The vehicle shook uncontrollably for about 200 feet or so until i could get it back under control and off the road. Have talked to several mechanics in the area and have been told the same thing over and over.... Unless they can get the vehicle to imitate what happened to me while they test drove it nothing could officially be done. After looking up and reading hundreds of reports from other people with the same "issues" i feel that the jeep corporation needs to do something about this soon before someone dies in an accident. I am the second owner of this vehicle and have not done anything to it mechanically. It is still stock inside and out. Vehicle has just over 21,000 miles on it. Have had it off road once scouting for hunting areas and nothing more. This is a daily driver to work and back, don't even want to get it out on a highway and get it up to the 75 mph speed limit here in ks. Not sure what to do about this. I can actually get underneath the vehicle and roll the linkage bar with the steering stabilizer on it about an inch or so up and down. Tie-rod ends have got to be going but 2 mechanics said nothing was wrong. Please help!!!! Information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u. S. C. 552(b)(6).
