Description of the problem	I recently had a local jeep dealer install a mopar factory 2" lift kit on my 2018 jeep wrangler rubicon a few weeks ago. Since the 2" lift was installed, when the jeep hits a highway break, bump/pothole, anywhere between 30mph up to normal highway speeds, i get the "death wobble" in the steering wheel and the vehicle shakes violently. This jeep still has the factory original tires and rims installed, and has no other add-ons to the vehicle. I have to slow the vehicle down to 25 mph for the death wobble to stop. I traveled 35 miles a few days ago on a state highway at speeds between 40-65 mph, in 32 degree temps, and the vehicle went into a "death wobble" (7) times, five of which i have on video for the upcoming lawsuits. It appears more vulnerable to a death wobble if the front drivers wheel hits a bump or pothole first. Additionally it appears to enter into a death wobble more easily if you are on a curve in a left hand directional turn. All known recalls have been performed to this vehicle that i know of, to include the updated work and inspection to the steering stabilizer dampener/shock. Someone is going to die from this issue if it is not fixed if they haven't already, either the driver of the jeep, or a unwitting party in oncoming traffic, especially if this happens on an ice covered road! I have videos of the death wobble, but no photos, which are all that are allowed for posting on this website for this complaint. I would be happy to share the videos with nhtsa investigators if they wish to contact me.

What is Recall?
A recall is when a product is removed from the market or a correction is made to the product because it is either defective or potentially harmful.
What is Failure?
Failure is the state or condition of not meeting a desirable or intended objective, and may be viewed as the opposite of success. Product failure ranges from failure to sell the product to fracture of the product, in the worst cases leading to personal injury, the province of forensic engineering.
