I was traveling around 50-55 MPH on a straight road, when the jeep started shaking violently and I almost lost control. I had to pull over and come to a stop. I was very shaken up. I did have it looked over to see if anything was wrong. Couldn't find anything (Tires, tie-in rods, ball joints, and alignment). This was the first time it happened, it happened again. I found out they call this the jeep death wobble. I checked to see if there was a recall, but didn't see one. I can't believe there isn't a recall on this with all the complaints I've read. Don't wait till someone gets killed.

We were able to control the wobbling by holding the steering wheel and slowly pulling over on to the shoulder. I have had all the brakes replaced, front and rear shocks and coils replaced and tire lubed. We are still driving the vehicle very carefully by avoiding rough areas on the…
