4 Steering problem

Failure Date: 05/07/2012

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.
