Driving above 55 miles, going over a bump or rough area will cause the vehicle to shake violently (nick-named "death wobble" by jeep owners) and becomes very hard to controll. Have to slow down or stop completly in order to get it stop. On the highway where speed limit is 75 miles, it could be deadly. So far we were lucky... We had new steering stabelizers, shocks put in, balanced the tires, had wheel alignment but it keeps on happening. Chrysler suggested to take it in to the shop again (and spend more money on a no-fix repair) is not the answer. It is well known that the jeep vehicles have this whobble issue, they should all be recalled before someone will die. Please help us to get chrysler corp to admit the problem and recall the vehicles.
