Description of the problem	I purchased a 2008 jeep wrangler unlimited new. I have not modified my car in any way, nor have ever taken it "four-wheeling." in june 2011 i experienced my first "death wobble," an extremely violent, shaking of the front wheels. Since then, it has since happened five times, resulting in repairs (that still haven't solved the problem) totaling $1644. 24 (not including tax). I most recently experienced the death wobble about four days ago on the highway (4/9/2014). I had it in to the shop to be "fixed" in early march with "repairs" costing over $950. I'm hesitant to take it in again because no one knows how to fix this problem and i don't have the money to keep making repairs for an unknown problem. I am not blaming the repair shop that the wobbling hasn't been fixed; i am blaming chrysler/jeep because they don't seem to recognize this as being a safety hazard. I've researched this problem extensively and i am definitely not the only one experiencing this problem. I am not exaggerating when i say that when the "death wobble" happens, i feel like i am going to die. The only time it happens is when i'm going 45 mph or more, so it has happened primarily on the highway. The only way to re-gain control is to slow down quickly and pull over (which could result in a major pile-up on the highway). All i want is to have chrysler/jeep recognize that this is a serious safety issue and provide a remedy/recall and monetary compensation for this problem. *js
