Description of the problem	In reference to all late model jeep wranglers. What is known as the "death wobble". At a speed of 35 to 55 mph, a vibration in the front end will occur that magnifies in intensity until the driver must stop the vehicle to regain control. Very dangerous. Jeep says that it thinks a steering damper change could stop this from occurring,but has never issued a recall or design change. Problem spans several years of the wrangler model. I have heard of mid 90's all the way to my 06' having the "death wobble". In my opinion jeep has neglected to fix a very serious problem that im sure has caused more than a few accidents. I have had to stop completely getting on the interstate to regain control . That cant be safe. I would think that a fix shouldn't be that hard for the engineers at daimler/chrysler to come up with . After all the jeep is an amazing vehicle. Therefore i am requesting that the nhtsa commence an investigation into the death wobble" and jeeps responsibility in this . It is my belief that they should be held responsible for any worn or damaged front end parts due to the wobble and the fix for the problem. Thanks for your time and hard work . I am looking forward to speaking with a nhtsa rep at their convenience. If you need to observe the death wobble or need more info please feel free to contact me anytime via email or phone. Or you can just google it . You would be amazed at the number of people out there that have this problem and jeep acts as if it doesn't exist. All i can say is wow. Thanks again for doing your jobs and making these companies be responsible.
