Description of the problem	I am the owner of a 2007 jeep wrangler and have had a major failure of the steering/suspension of the jeep. In researching this i find the complaint is a rather common failure. Do a google of "jeep death wobble" and scan selected items of 19000 hits for jeeps made from the 1990's to present. The jeep has 9500 miles. The incidence occurred at about a speed of 40-55 miles per hour after riding over frost waves in the road. The jeep went into a violent vibration mode where steering was very difficult and the jeep was out of control. The jeep when slowed to about 30 the vibration disappeared and it was slowly driven to a jeep dealer (owl chrysler jeep) honesdale, pa. Eleven days later the jeep was returned perhaps repaired but some things don't seem right. I have met another person with the same / similar problem and on the internet find many complaints of what is referred to as a death wobble. Believe me a good description. Had this occurred in winter weather, rain or on a curve i would perhaps be a statistic as there for a few seconds no control over the direction or steering of the vehicle. I believe that chrysler knows of this problem for what appears to be years and is still manufacturing vehicles with a design/material flaw. The repair number from owl is: r. O. Number 24079 the parts replaced are: front lower control arms and bushings. Old parts retained by dealer as perhaps warranty repair. The vehicle has never been driven off road and is basically babied. Owl can be contacted at: owl chrysler jeep, inc 250 grandview avenue honesdale, pa 18431 570-253-2640
