Description of the problem	Jeep sahara unlimited goes nearly unstable (aggressive front end oscillation) when hitting potholes/bumps at speed (~50-60 mph), only way to stop is to slow down to nearly 10-20 mph. Very dangerous on highway or any road going at speed for fear of getting hit in rear as you slow down. Has happened numerous (100+) times since i bought the car, i minimize the issue by avoiding known potholes/bumps on roads i use. This is apparently known by fiat chrysler automobiles and they apparently have a fix (new steering damper), just search "jeep death wobble" or "fca safety issues" on google, hundreds having this problem, apparently now a lawsuit. Have brought car in and jeep service and they act like they are unaware of it. Same with fca / mopar service. They act like they have not heard of it. This is absolutely a safety issue and all jeeps with this issue should be recalled. Just watch the videos online of this happening, there are plenty of them.
