Description of the problem	On 5/15/13 i purchased a 2008 jeep wrangler x from walser subaru in burnsville mn. At approximately 8:50pm i was heading home from completing the transaction with the dealer. I was on i-35w north going around a long easy left corner in the road when i hit a rough area in the highway. The vehicle began to shake violently and the steering wheel was shaking hard left and right. I immediately grasped the wheel as firmly as possible and slowed the vehicle to approximately 45 miles an hour before the shaking stopped. I immediately took the next exit and inspected the tires and wheels thinking i had a flat or a loose wheel. I continued to drive home with no other occurrence of the incident. This morning 5/16/2013 at approximately 7:40am i was on my way to work and had just merged off of i-35w south to 280 south. I again was in a slight bend in the road this time to the right and hit a rough area of roadway. I was traveling at approximately 60 miles an hour when again the vehicle began to shake violently and i had to grasp the wheel firmly and slow until the shaking subsided. I've contacted the dealer and the vehicle is going in for inspection at walser chrysler jeep in hopkins mn at 1:45pm 5/16/13. I also did a significant amount of research online today after the second event and it appears this is a very common problem on 2007-2013 jeep wrangler jk models. It is most commonly referred to as "death wobble" this appears to be a wide spread and very dangerous flaw in the jeep jk design and one that needs to be carefully investigated for safety of all those on the public roadways.
