Description of the problem	2018 jeep wrangler sahara, completely unmodified, exhibited violent steering shake or "death wobble" when encountering road imperfections such as bridge expansion joints at highway speeds. Condition intensifies until speed is brought down to approximately 45 mph (very dangerous in highway traffic). The dealer was familiar with the issue and was easily able to replicate during a test drive. The dealer inspected the track bar and replaced the steering stabilizer. Unfortunately the violent steering shake (death wobble) persists when encountering uneven road surfaces at highway speeds. The new steering stabilizer helps the vehicle recover from the condition, but the vehicle still continues to go into full blown death wobble. This is an extremely unsafe condition that endangers not only the occupants of the jeep but also fellow highway users. I have driven more than 400,000 miles in jeep wranglers and have never encountered such a dangerous defect in any vehicle.
