Description of the problem	I was driving on the highway around 65 mph during rush hour traffic. I hit a bump in the road and the front end of my jeep felt like it was violently bouncing from side to side. I could hardly keep the vehicle in my own lane. I was terrified. I got off the road as soon as possible. I got out, looked at it and saw nothing wrong. I called my husband, and he would not let me drive it home. He drove it to our mechanic, and other than my brakes needing work, he found nothing wrong. The mechanic fixed my brakes and i took it home. The next time i took it out, it did it again. My mechanic took it back, drove it himself, and the jeep did the same thing. My mechanic did some research online and said it was the "death wobble". He tightened some bolts on the bar that aren't the right size for the vehicle.. It didn't help. Now i have a jeep that i am afraid to drive, and really can't afford to fix, if it can even be fixed. From what i researched online, it seems to only get better for awhile, then the problem returns. Why isn't jeep taking care of this problem? Do people have to get injured or killed before they do something? The lemon law may be my only option if it can't be fixed, and i may have to keep the vehicle for some time before that could go through. Please do something about these jeeps with the "death wobble".
