Description of the problem	Around 30,000 miles i would notice a slight shimmy in the front end at freeway speeds when a small bump was hit. This would usually last a few seconds and then drive normal. I read some thing online about this and it seemed like it was a normal thing for this 4dr jeep model. In early march 2014 about 39000 miles i hit a big bump on the freeway and the front end shimmy was so intense i thought the front passenger tire was flat at first it seemed like it was coming off. A few hours later this happened again before i made it home. I did research and found the references to the "death wobble" and knew that's what it was. I was thankful no one else was in the car with me. Another jeep owner i know knew the term and had heard about these problems. Then april 1st hit a bump i could not avoid on the pot hole infested milwaukee streets and it happened again the tire felt like it was coming off and almost had accident in the construction zone i was in. Called dealer and they knew exactly what i was talking about. Apparently chrysler switched the dampener/brackets after the 2009 yr models when they noticed problems. Funny how that replacement i had to have done cost me $ 400+. You would think if they know there was a problem this wouldn't cost the consumer a penny. Especially since it is my life in jeopardy.
