Description of the problem	This is second time this has happened; it has happened to me at least 4 times since 11/30/2013. I was accelerating, and when i hit about 50mph, my left tire hit a small pot hole. My front end began shaking violently; my steering wheel was literally bouncing in my hands and i could not actively control the jeep. The shaking would not stop until i slowed down to about 5 miles per hour on a busy roadway. I almost caused an accident. This jeep has a shimmy/wobble that occurs on some bumps. Some lead to the "death wobble," and others do not. The shaking is so intense that the front end felt like it was going to come apart. I have new tires, and the vehicle was just purchased used from the dealership, after having received a full service. I took it into the jeep dealership that confirmed that everything looked ok, and the bushings were fine.
