Description of the problem	I have been experiencing the "death wobble" on my jeep since i bought it used in 2007. It only occurs when i am between the speed of 45 and 50 mph. My jeep shakes so violently i have to grab the steering wheel to hold it straight and decrease my speed dramatically to get it to stop. I've read 1000's of other complaints online - i know i'm not the only one with this issue. It was still under warranty at the time and i took it to the dealership and had several repairs done. They replaced the steering dampener and front axle. I was told that after that when it still occurred that i needed different tires - so i spent $600. 00 on new tires and it still happens. Doesn't have all the time - but enough to where i feel unsafe. This is my only vehicle and i cannot afford to get a new car right now but if i could i would!!! I called jeep and filed a complaint and they gave me a case number and told me that i had to pay for a diagnostic test to be done and after that they would help me with some of the costs of the repairs. They told me someone would be in touch within 24 hours to schedule the diagnostic (which i think i shouldn't have to pay for since i took it years ago and its never been fixed) but i've never heard from anyone. Jeep needs to open their eyes-- what has to happen before they act on this? An accident? Hopefully this complaint can be used to warn others not to buy a jeep product.

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?
