Description of the problem	My jeep has the "jeep death wobble", which is widely discussed on the internet. By googling that term, you can see that it's a very violent shaking of the front end of the vehicle, causing the car to ultimately shake out of control if the vehicle cannot be slowed down very quickly. Unfortunately, it's cause is unclear, though there is a list of a dozen or so "fixes" that sometimes fix the problem for 20,000 miles or so at a time. I had the death wobble at about 15k miles, 35k miles and now again at 65k miles. The dealer acknowledged the problem and was scared when he drove my car to see the problem for himself. It's unsafe for me and my 2-year old daughter in the back. My car needs this repaired again right now, and i assume will need it every 20k miles or so. On the last occasion this happened (yesterday), i hit a small gap in the pavement (for example, the normal seam where two pieces of concrete come together) at about 45mph. The front end started vibrating and then the vibration increases (almost like the car is resonating), until you can't hold the steering wheel and the car is about to vibrate off the road uncontrollably. This is how the issue always occurs and it occurs between 45-70mph. It's begins with a small bump or imperfection on the pavement. It's easily reproduced.

A recall is when a product is removed from the market or a correction is made to the product because it is either defective or potentially harmful.
What is Failure?
