Description of the problem	My 2007 jeep wrangler unlimited x 4x4, which is all stock and was purchased new, has developed the appropriately named "death wobble" which consists of violent shaking of the front end and steering wheel when hitting even a minor bump or depression in the road at speeds in excess of 45 mph. The shaking is so severe that one believes you feel as though you are about to die due to loss of control of the vehicle. The only way to stop the shaking is to come to an abrupt stop. Inattentive drivers may not be aware of what is happening and this may cause an accident as the jeep driver is forced to brake. My warranty has expired and when i contacted the jeep dealership, they acted as though they had never heard of this. I took it to an independent mechanic who stated this was a rather common occurrence and that it would cost about $1700 to fix with replacing u-joints, and adding a stabilizer bar. From on-line testimonials, i am learning that this is simply a bandaid fix and that the ball joints and steering dampener need to be replaced for a true fix. I cannot believe that with as many problems as have been reported that chrysler-jeep has not issued a recall. I have parked my jeep for now while deciding what to do. My conscious will not allow me to trade it or sell it with the defect that i am aware of. I guess chrysler-jeep does not share my values. Why hasn't there been any litigation over this issue? Where are all the lawyers when you need them??
