Description of the problem	Vehicles tires begin to shake violently at speeds in the 70-75 mph range on the highway. Condition occurs after hitting a small bump on the highway. The condition becomes so violent, i have to slow the vehicle from 70+ mph to about 40 mph to stop the shaking. This condition occurred during rush hour in heavy traffic on i-696. My wife took the vehicle to the dealership on thursday october 25th. The dealer told her they would have to replace the steering damper and that the part was on back order. They said it could take a month to get the part and that the vehicle was "safe" to drive. I drove the jeep to work on friday oct 26th. On the way home, to condition occurred on i-696 while i was traveling 70+ mph in rush hour traffic. I had to slow the vehicle to approximately 40 mph in the center lane on the highway before the shaking ended. I almost caused an accident on the highway. I am an engineer and have worked in the auto industry for about 30 years. I have been involved in field actions, campaigns and recalls. This vehicle is not safe and should be grounded and fixed. I did some research over the weekend and the condition is known as "death wobble". It is fairly common. Our vehicle is a stock 2018 jeep wrangler with no modifications to the suspension. The dealership is suburban jeep located in farmington hills, mi on grand river & 10 mile. The dealer should not have sent my wife home telling her the vehicle is safe. This vehicle is not safe and should be grounded immediately. Looking for support from nhtsa to correct this issue. This condition has occurred twice while i was driving and once with my wife driving our 9 year old son. Please help.
