Description of the problem	My new wrangler jl, approximately 6500 miles on it, is experiencing the same issue others have described on these new vehicles with the "death wobble." the first time it happened, i was on the freeway and crossed over a bridge. As the vehicle went over the bump where the bridge meets the pavement, the car started shaking violently. I assumed i had a flat tire and started to pull over. As soon as my car went below 50 mph, the wobble stopped. It happens every time i drive on the freeway now, although not every time i hit a bump. The most recent time was today when it shook at its most violent pace yet, and i was actually only going about 55mph when it happened. I believe it is getting worse. When it first happened, i was on a three hour drive and it only happened twice. On the way back, it happened 3 times. Since then, it feels like it happens every time i get on the freeway, and usually i'm only on the freeway for 5 minutes at most. I have had the car since june. It didn't happen at all until november 2nd and now it happens all the time. The wobble can be very significant and there is no way this vehicle is not sustaining damage with that kind of wobble, not to mention it scares me when it happens and i'm close to other cars on the freeway at 65+mph. When i'm going at freeway speeds, slowing down significantly can cause an accident. It is not drivable for more than a few moments when it is wobbling so significantly, the driver has to slow down.
