Description of the problem	When i first bought the 2006 jeep wrangler, and drove it home, when i got up to between 50-55 mph, the whole front end of the jeep shimmied or wobbled violently. I looked up the problem online to find out if this was a common complaint, and exactly what the call what my jeep was doing. This is when i found out what it was doing was called, "the death wobble". I then took the jeep back to carmax where i bought it used, and showed the carmax mechanics what i had printed out from on line. They then, and i quote, fixed the problem. Well this fix only lasted about a 2 years and it is now back to doing this death wobble again. Apparently the "fix" was not a permanent one, and of course my 2006 jeep is no longer under the 12 month limited warranty any longer. I need to know if there was ever a safety recall on this problem at the manufacturer's expense, obviously this is a design flaw, which i have found out that supposedly can be permanently fixed. The problem for me is, i can't afford the cost to do the fix. Thank you for your time.
