Description of the problem	What seems to be a very common problem with the jeep wrangler model line is a problem known throughout the community as the "death wobble." i purchased a used jeep wrangler rubicon almost two years ago, and have been experiencing this problem ever since. My jeep, along with many others like it, has absolutely no aftermarket modifications, yet has a very dangerous symptom which makes me scared to drive it over 40 mph. The "death wobble" can only be described as an incredibly violent shake of the steering wheel from left to right after going over a bump or imperfection in the road. It will usually start off slowly, but within half a second the entire front end of the car is shaking out of control, and only stops when the vehicle is brought to a stop. With the steering wheel shaking violently, it is very difficult to maintain directional control of the vehicle, which at highway speeds can be very dangerous. Also, since the only way to stop this problem is to slow down rapidly, this creates a very hazardous traffic situation. This problem has been well documented throughout the history of the jeep wrangler, and chrysler has only issued a temporary solution to replace the steering stabilizer. I have done this twice now, and it is only a band-aid to mask the underlying problem, which jeep refuses to issue a recall or pay the bill to fix. I am literally scared to drive my vehicle on any highway, and i am sure thousands of other jeep wrangler owners out there are in the exact same position i am in.
