Description of the problem	On friday, 07. 27. 12, when driving on the highway, the vehicle began to shake/wobble wildly, and i thought that i had a blowout in the right front tire. I pulled over on the shoulder, but, to my surprise, the tire was fine, and i could see no visible problems. I proceeded down the highway, but, after about a mile, the vehicle began to shake/wobble wildly again (almost uncontrollably), to the point where i literally thought the right front wheel was falling off. Luckily, i was able to pull to the shoulder without causing an accident. I drove slowly along the shoulder, exited the highway at the next opportunity, and called the dealership. After making sure that the lug-nuts were tight, i drove (via city streets, to minimize speed) back to the dealership. The service technician determined that the problem was wheel balancing. That said, when i hit a bump in the road, the vehicle's right front end still wobbles. In the interim, i did some google'ing, and i found that numerous other (? Death wobble?) cases have been reported nationwide (including hundreds to the nhtsa). Chrysler has issued multiple tsbs, and there is a maintenance notice acknowledging ? Steering vibration? (a monumental euphemism; the issue goes way beyond a simple vibration) on the jeep website. In short, chrysler is well-aware of the existence and severity of this problem. The matter has been addressed by a san francisco tv station (kgo-tv), and even two members of the u. S. Congress who sent inquiries/complaints to both chrysler. Despite all of the first-hand accounts, publicity, and requests for action, the nhtsa has done nothing. This is clearly a design flaw/defect, and the nhtsa needs to force chrysler to issue a safety recall. Jeep owners need to be made aware of the existence/possibility of this dangerous condition, and chrysler should incur the costs of its diagnosis and correction.

What is Recall?
A recall is when a product is removed from the market or a correction is made to the product because it is either defective or potentially harmful.
What is Failure?
Failure is the state or condition of not meeting a desirable or intended objective, and may be viewed as the opposite of success. Product failure ranges from failure to sell the product to fracture of the product, in the worst cases leading to personal injury, the province of forensic engineering.
