Description of the problem	i live in sacramento, california. I experienced what is being referred to as "wrangler death wobble" on or about 11:55 p. M. On march 15, 2012, while i driving southbound on interstate 5 near east los angeles. This incident resulted in and substantial physical damage to the undercarriage/suspension/steering components of the vehicle. The weld of the track bar housing/bracket on the axle side was ripped completely off of the front axle. There was a total loss of control of the vehicle. It took about 30 seconds to bring it under control by applying brakes and holding on to the violently shaking steering wheel. The car swerved into adjacent lanes. Fortunately, there were no cars next to me a the time. I purchased the 2009 wrangler from folsom lake ford in folsom, ca on january 28, 2012, only 46 days before i experienced the wrangler death wobble. The track bar housing was re-welded to the axle and a gusset added in los angeles to allow me to return home. I incurred significant costs for repairs. Two expert technicians have examined the suspension and concluded that there is no question the defect existed when i purchased the vehicle and that the obvious defect and "play" should have been detected by routine visual inspection. Folsom lake ford v. P. Of operations, john sears refuses to even inspect the vehicle to see whether it is now safe to drive or take any action at all to fix the damage. [xxx] has stated in writing that my only recourse is to take legal action against folsom lake ford. Information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u. S. C. 552(b)(6).
