Description of the problem	I was traveling on a busy highway at a speed of 65 miles per hour when out of the blue the jeep started to shake uncontrollably. To make matters worse, i had a semi right behind me hauling a gas tanker. Fortunately for me i was traveling in the speed lane which is adjacent to the emergency run off the lane. I let my foot of the gas and rolled/trembling off the highway into the emg lane till i came to a complete stop. After catching my breath and my heart. I proceeded to get out of the car to check and see if there was something wrong with the front end axle. I did not see anything problem so got back in the jeep and drove off. I drove about another 50 miles that night and was not able to duplicate the problem at any speed. So a couple of days later i took the jeep in to see my service advisor at planet dodge in doral, fl. After a brief description of the symptoms and what happened, the service advisor calmly said it's a common problem called "the death wobble". So i am now having to drop off this jeep in order to get a diagnosis and have the problem repaired. I hope it never happens to anyone; especially my mother who often drives the jeep. This is a very very dangerous condition which will eventually cause accident and may even cause fatalities. There needs to be a class action suit filed against the manufacturer. Or at the very least a recall.
