 Description of the problemMy jl currently has 11,500 miles. Everything was fine driving highway speeds up to 75 mph until i hit 11k miles. One day, i went over a bridge seam at 75 and the steering began to violently shake back and forth to the point it was hard to control. I let up on the gas, and it didn't go away until i was down to around 30 mph. As i was in the middle of a busy morning commute i put on my flashers to slow down as i watched all of the cars behind me almost crash trying to slow down. When it stopped i pulled over one lane with everyone passing me really upset. Like i said, i drove 11k miles with no problems at all. Now since that happened it happens every time i hit a bump doing 65 mph. I brought it to the dealer and they checked the tire pressure but found nothing else wrong. I had read about the 'death wobble" and asked about that but all played dumb. Also, since that has happened i am feeling the drifting in the steering wheel that other are complaining about. This is extremely upsetting after paying good money to not be able to drive safely over 60 mph. I am not letting my wife or anyone drive the vehicle and would love to just bring it back.
