Description of the problem	On approximately 01/21/13 at about 8:00am, while traveling on the 405 freeway at about 50mph, my jeep got the "death wobbles". It was found the entire front housing snapped off. It was fixed and returned to me. On 02/11/13 at about 10:30am, i was merging on to the i-5 n/b from sand canyon in irvine. When i reached 45mph, i got the "death wobbles" again. This time, the dealer said it was because i had cheap tires on the vehicle. I have nitto tires which are about $250 each. I have looked into the death wobbles and it appears jeep has a real problem. The vehicle shakes so violently you feel like you are losing control. Someone is going to get killed and jeep knows it. I have had my vehicle in twice now for the same thing. Once more and i am going lemon law. If they give it back and my family is injured as a result of a known flaw. Stand by! This is crap. You cannot knowingly sell a defective vehicle can you? Seems like it would be criminal to defraud or fail to disclose this death wobble issue to buyers. I did not know anything about this until it happened to me.
