Description of the problem	Multiple incidents of violent vibration in the vehicle front end, including the steering wheel and front wheels, are occurring after hitting a minor pot hole in the road. Incidents occur at highways speeds, normally 45 - 55 mph. The driver must reduce speed to near zero in order to recover safe and effective control of the vehicle. This vehicle defect appears to be the well-known and major safety issue in jeep wrangler vehicles known as "the death wobble". I purchased this vehicle new from a jeep dealership and have had it professionally maintained per the manufacturer's instructions since the day i bought it. My spouse and i have both experienced this defect several times in the past few years, most recently on december 15, 2011. At this point, we've had the vehicle inspected several times and replaced a number of components on the vehicle, including the steering damper, four shock absorbers, and all 4 tires., in addition, the suspension has been inspected numerous times in the past 3 years. Given the shear number of similar complaints by other owners, i feel that this is an obvious manufacturer defect that should be acknowledged and corrected by the manufacturer.
