Description of the problem	I purchased a pre owned jeep wrangler in 1/08 and had no problems until june of this year i experience a violent shaking on my way home from work one day and thought i had blown a tire or hit gravel on the road i checked my tires and there was nothing on the road i was baffled it happened again 2 weeks later and i took it to the nearest jeep dealership i was told it needed a new steering damper but they were on short supply (i know why now) i then called the dealership i purchased it from and was told to bring it in for a replacement part to make a long story shorter they have replaced my steering damper 3 times and i have experienced this violent shaking 5 times they have released my car back to me assuring me it was fixed. They now want to put a heavy duty damper on my jeep stating this will fix it i have contacted a lemon law attorney and she researched this problem for me she found several reports from consumers and told me that the jeep technical service bulletin specifically states how to fix this problem on the 2006 models it describes it as a "shimmy" and they are to replace the steering damper on the 2007 they describe it as a "rumble" and give a completely different fix for this other than the steering damper i called my dealership today and told them they need to find out what replacement is for the 2007 because it is obviously not the damper i am at my wits end with the vehicle i am terrified to drive it for one of these times i may roll it and cause serious injury to myself chrysler will not give me a loaner until this problem is fixed i hope this helps in your investigation for there is something dangerously wrong with this vehicle thanks marti mulholland
