2008 Jeep WRANGLER Vehicle Speed Control Problems, Complaints and Defects

Product type code	VEHICLE
Description of the problem	I was driving home from work on a state highway, even though posted speed limit was 65mph, traffic was heavy and i was forced to slow down to around 50 to 53 mph. When speeding back up to 55 mph my jeep sahara shook violently and uncontrollably, i thought my vehicle was going to shake apart, i hit the brakes and went down to 50 mph (thank god no one was close behind me and did not hit me) and the shaking/wobble stopped. As traffic picked back up and i was able to speed up to 60 mph, there was no real problem (a slight shake as i past 55 mph), but as soon as i had to slow down to 55 mph the vehicle started to shake/wobble uncontrollably again. It appears if i accelerate from 0 to 55 mph i get the violent shaking/wobbling but if i go from 0 to 60-65 mph, i do not really experience the violent uncontrollably shaking, just a slight shake at the 55 mph going to 60-65 mph. If i slow down from 60-65 mph to 55 mph i get that same violent uncontrollable shaking/wobbling. This happens everyday - not randomly! I found even on non-highways, where speed limits that allow 55 mph, i get the same violent shaking. This is my only vehicle and i depend on it to get to and from work every weekday. I have read the forums and i have checked the tire pressure, it has no effect on the shaking/wobbling. I have never taken it off-road, i don't even put it in 4 wheel drive. My son has his own jeep that he has work on for years and he looked at my jeep (things like steering components, ball joints, tires, steering damper, etc.) all the things jeep owners have posted on these forums and have paid dearly for at the dealership and everything seems ok. I recently found from a jeep forum that this is called the 'death wobble'.

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.
