Jeep death wobble - whilst taking my son to school i was traveling at approximately 45 mph, i stuck a small pothole with my right front tire. the vehicle front end began to shake violently as the steering wheel oscillated about 6 inches back and forth. it was very difficult to maintain control of the vehicle and nearly collided with center median and vehicles to my right. slowing down to about 5 mph caused the wobble to subside. this was an extremely scary event and could have caused injury/death of both of us had i lost control. a dashcam video of the incident can be provided if needed.

My jeep was bought brand new less than a month ago and when i take my foot off the brake or press the brakes there's a noise. its not the same noise that the car would make if the brakes where bad. i brought my car back to the dealer that i got it from and they said all jeeps do that which doesn't make any sense.
