While driving down the highway @ roughly 55 mph, my 2009 jeep wrangler hit a small bump in the road. my steering wheel began violently shaking side to side. i immediately pushed on the brake and tried to safely slow the vehicle without causing the vehicle behind me to crash into me. i pulled-over to the shoulder. this vibration referred to as "death wobble" occurs each and every time i am traveling between 55 and 60 mph and, i brake or hit a bump in the road. it is an awful sensation. *tr
Vehicle shakes uncontrollably around 55 or when i hit a bumb , took the jeep two the garage and explain what was going on and was told it was the tires so bought new tires and wasn't the problem , i looked up the death wobble and seen many people with jeeps have had the same problem and jeep chrysler won't do a recall and they should because this can very much cause an accident when you have no control , this is left up to the owners whom thought they bought a good product to figure out and pay to fix a problem that jeep chrysler should of fixed in the first place but it's all about profit and not safety !!!

As the jeep was brought up to speed it began shaking violently and out of control as the speed approached 50 mph. the shaking continued as i braked to a stop. the vehicle is unsafe to operate with this "death wobble". the problem is repeatable and happens at the same speed occasionally when bumps are hit. *tr
