Description of the problem	Hit a small bump in the road while driving 70 mph, this caused violent vibrations in the front end that wouldn't stop until i almost stopped. If i hadn't had a good grip on the wheel i would have lost control of the vehicle. This has happened 4 times since and at speeds as low as 55mph. Checked with dealer and they said it would require replacing one part at a time till the problem is corrected. This would be very expensive and you would never know if it was fixed. This is very dangerous as you never know when it is going to happen. Twice i was going 70 with a tractor trailer close behind. Yesterday i was in heavy traffic in the middle lane going 70 with a tractor trailer behind me when the front end started to vibrate and bounce. I couldn't get over so i had to almost stop in the middle lane in rush hour on i-10. This problemis referred to as the death wobble. It is very scary and could cause an accident or even a roll over if you don't have a good grip on the wheel. (vehicle is not lifted & front end had just been aligned before first incident).
