Description of the problem	Driving vehicle over 60mph resulted in multiple episodes of the death wobble within a 3 week period of time. Vehicle was purchased at used car dealership and state inspection was performed on the day of purchase. Within 24 hours of having the vehicle, i experienced the first encounter. I was driving down a hill at approximately 60mph and the steering felt shakey and the wheel began to wobble. It subsided as i slowed down. The next day, this occured on a major interstate at 65mph and car was towed to a jeep dealership. I was informed the ball joints should never have passed inspection along with the fuel system. I took the car back to the dealer and he claimed to have fixed the problem. Within 3 days of getting the jeep back, once again the wobble occurred at a speed of 65mph and i almost lost control of vehicle. This vehicle should not be on the road. The dealer returned a portion of my purchase price and i returned the jeep. The jeep is now back on the lot for sale.
