Hit a bump or pot hole or a man cover at 45 MPH and the car starts to shake and goes out of control. Almost been hit over 5 times because I have to slow down to stop the issue. Tires a new and I've been to the shop they say everything good for safety inspections but it's not good. If I would have known that jeep is just try to kill it's car drivers I won't have buy the thing.

My 1999 jeep cherokee shakes violently at speeds over 50 MPH when I hit a slight unevenness in the road. I've had my jeep inspected by a jeep dealer, paid to repair the problem, and it still remains. This is a well-documented, repeated issue, that I, and many others have experienced, driving jeeps. It's been reported on by both abc news (http://abc7news.com/archive/8768540/) and fox news (http://www.foxnews.com/leisure/2012/07/09/what-need-to-know-about-jeep-death-wobble/) and acknowledged by chrysler in a technical service bulletin. I went to my local jeep dealership, chrysler technical service bulletin in-hand, spent $1,000 to replace my entire steering system at their behest to correct what they claimed was causing the violent shaking I experienced when driving my jeep on the highway, only to find, post-repair, after hitting a minor seam on the highway at a speed of 52 MPH, that the "death wobble" was worse than ever, and my jeep was totally unsafe to drive. The fact that no one has died yet from losing control when their jeep starts violently shaking while they're speeding down the highway (that we can prove) due to an obvious design flaw in these vehicles is a shameful reason for the federal safety agency to dismiss this issue. I've been very lucky, so far that other drivers have noticed me rapidly reducing my speed in time to get out of my way. I've been lucky that road conditions allowed me to slow down or pull over. I've been lucky to be going slow enough to reduce my speed before I lost control. I've stopped driving on the highway, stopped driving long distances, and plan to trash my jeep as soon as possible, though I just invested $1,000 in its repair. Is that right?

I was driving at 50 MPH and the vehicle started shaking violently and I had to slow down and pull over before the shaking would stop. Another time I was driving at 50 MPH again and hit a small bump and the violent shaking again occurred. Again I had to slow down considerably before it stopped shaking. This is known as death wobble and chrysler knows it. They need to be held accountable for using cheap parts on jeeps.
