Description of the problem	On september 14, 2018, i leased my brand new jeep jl sahara 2018. I signed up for jeep app and immediately noticed a recall for my car - 2018 jl track bar weld, raising concern. On october 21, 2018, with less than 1000 miles, i was driving on local highway at @ 60mph, hit a bump and my entire steering/front of car began violently shaking. I immed. Slowed down to hope re-align and gain control of steering/car. It was the most frightening experience as i was going 60, had to slow to 35, while others were speeding up behind me, in addition to being scared & feeling unsafe in an out of control car. I called jeep downingtown immed. On 10/22 to bring car in that week - 10/26. I looked it up and clearly is the known issue called the "death wobble". On 10/25, again on highway @ 65-70 mph, i hit a bump, experienced a yet worse violent shaking/out of control steering of my car. I pulled over as could not gain control slowing down. I got back on highway only to experience it yet again! I was shaking, scared as i could have been killed in addition to others!! I immed. Called jeep dt and brought car into service. It is now 28 days and my car is still in service!!!. My experience with the dealer has been nothing but a nightmare. They tried 1) recall, 2) service software bulletin update, 3) steering stabilzer part and 4) tie rod part, none fixed problem. I last heard from them on 11/9 when they ordered tie rod - 13 days ago, unacceptable! I filed a case with jeep chrysler fca on 11/3- #57311328 and have had poor response. I have documented every day. I filed complaint with pa attorney general, no response. I have contacted lemon law lawyer and will be pursing action. All i want/deserve is to drive a safe car, as i'm paying for that! As nhtsa i hope you can ensure jeep takes these cars off the road and refunds us to ensure no one gets killed!
