Description of the problem	Model is a 2018 jk sport (2-door) with 3,400 miles. Upon a right turn into the entrance drive of an apartment complex and hitting a slight bump at the curb line, the car immediate loss steering control along with the traction control light illuminating on the dash and felt the vibration of the anti-lock brakes activating. Stopped immediately, check underneath, saw no damage. Continued slowly into the apartment complex, the steering was very loose taking many turns of the steering wheel to turn the front wheel of the car. Any time the steering wheel was turned right or left, the traction control light illuminated on the dash along with the vibration of the anti-lock brakes activating. With the loose steering and the traction control light / abs activating when turning the steering wheel, nothing else out of the ordinary detected, decided to drive slowly to the jeep dealer. On the way to the dealer, on a straight away at about 25 mph got a violent shaking in the front of the vehicle, commonly known as the "death wobble". Arrive safely to the dealer keeping the speed real slow and the steering turns to a minimum.
