Driving on interstate 90 in new york state, at approximately 70 miles per hour, multiple times after hitting a patch on the road or a pot hole, my vehicle and steering wheel started to shake violently until i was able to slow down enough for the vibration to stop.

I went to the dealer to fix a steering issue with the car. the car pulls to the right while driving and i would be marking the correction of the car. so, i left the car with them for 10 hours. the dealer performed adjustments on the toe due to slighly out of specifications and alignment. the dealer said that the problem is fixed. but when i drove it home, the problem is still exist. i brought it up to them again, and they said that it's normal for it to be doing so. also, the steering wheel is not in center.
The steering on the 2 door wrangler jl is very vague with significant play . it takes a much effort to keep the vehicle straight and true in a lane.
While driving along the interstate 12/14/19 at a speed in the 70mph range the jeep would shake violently when it went over rough road or a bridge. my daughter says she had to hold on to the steering wheel and slow down in traffic. she says it also happened on the return trip 12/17/19. my wife had an episode yesterday 1/27/19 after picking up the jeep from service in which they replaced the warranty recalled jl steering damper (photo of invoice attached). she was driving on the interstate and hit a bumpy spot. she said it started shaking and was scared she was going to lose control while slowing down on the interstate. after researching on the internet i am learning of the "death wobble" as they call it. we had a 2014 jeep wrangler for 5 years and over 100k miles and never experienced this. it is not safe. i left a vm this morning with the service manager at ed voyles in marietta, ga.
While driving the car the steering has roughly 1.5 inch play in the wheel to either side that makes the car feel like it is floating across the road. it is very noticeable when there is wind as it takes large corrections on the wheel to keep the car in the lane.
Second attempt at recall by dealer, dealer is claiming faulty parts by fca. within 12 miles of driving the jeep after recall was completed for a second time death wobble is back. happens when going over bridges on highway at around 72 mph. exterior temp 31. shake happens till speed is dropped to below 60 mph.
After recall for death wobble, repair made condition worse, at highway speed when hitting bumps in road, requires dropping speed to below 50 mph to get shaking to stop
Steering/wandering issue with 2019 unlimited sport stock tires/configuration. seems dangerous on the road. difficult to drive and return to straight after turning. won't go back to straight after turning and seems to be a lot of slack in the steering.
Purchased a 2019 jeep wrangler jl on 01/03/2020. hit a bump as i pulled out of the dealership and the front wheel began to "wobble" along with the steering wheel. it stopped when the vehicle stopped. two days later travelling at about 40 mph, hit a small pothole in the road and it did it again. i checked the track arm, which may cause this issue but it appears the weld is good and the bolts are tight. happened again yesterday as the wife was driving. she drove over a bridge and as she crossed onto it over the joint, it began again. stopped as she slowed down. searched for similar complaints and there are many similar complaints. it may have something to do with the steering box, which jeep knows about but won't replace without a hassle. no damage or injuries (yet).
When driving above 25 miles per hour there is shimmying, wobbling, loose play, in the steering wheel and hard to keep on the road. it is in motion and on the road. highway more than city streets.
Experiencing intermittent loss of steering assist at speeds between 40 and 75 mph. when issue occurs, vehicle can still be steered but with great effort. the issue lasts up to several minutes then spontaneously resolves. typically happens when driving straight but lasts into turns. dealer is closed now but will be scheduling service monday, 1/6/20.
