Description of the problem	I purchased this 2018 unlimited in june, brand new, with under 500 miles it took to drive it from mi. At approx. 15,000 miles i heard a rattle, that sounded like a loose heat shield, took it in and techs found nothing, said no heat shields. Within about 2 weeks i was driving on the highway, at highway speed, as i came over bridge crossings my jeep would shake uncontrollably and i was not able to steer. At first it would only happen occassionally, then it got worse, to the point of moving out of the lane i was driving in and into the berm and/or into the lane next to me. The whole jeep would shake uncontrollably for longer than 1-3 minutes. I did notice that if crossing over bridges in a straight away, the wobble was less severe than if i was in a slight curve, or angle. Also, i did notice that if i took my foot off the gas pedal before, during and for a short period after bridges, the jeep doesn't have the wobble as often. This may need to be checked, the techs are replacing parts they are being told to by jeep, but jeep doesn't know what is causing the death wobble, maybe it isn't directly relayed to only the front steering damper.
