| While traveling on the highway at approximately 55-60 mph, my 2011 4-door jeep wrangler hit a small bump. the jeep's front-end/steering wheel began to shake uncontrollably. when trying to reduce the speed by braking, the violent shaking only became worse. i was unable to keep the vehicle in the lane which i was driving because of the out-of-control shaking. had there been other vehicles in the adjacent lanes, there most definitely would have been an accident, with possible injuries, given the rate of speed that i was traveling. i had to reduce the speed of the vehicle simply by not applying the gas or brake, causing cars behind me to have to brake, which in turn could have resulted in additional accidents/injuries. this uncontrollable shaking has occurred in this vehicle approximately 5 times. i have since learned that this is the infamous death wobble. since this is a known occurrence, especially in jeeps, my concern is why this is not being addressed and being required to be fixed. ## vin failed ## jeep wrangler 2011 ## *tr | |||
