2 Sway Bar problem

Failure Date: 07/01/2010

We own a 2005 Jeep tj Wrangler. When hitting a bump it shakes violently and you have to come to a complete stop before it will stop. I have done a lot of research on this problem and find that it is very common with this year and model of Jeep. We have replaced the steering damper, sway bar ends, track bar bushings, all new shocks, brakes and rotors, tires balanced and rotated several times with no avail. This is a serious issue and we cannot seem to get any answers. The Jeep has 60,00 miles on it and is completely stock with no modifications on it. It is very dangerous drive, but my only vehicle for transportation to my job. My warranty does not cover suspension and steering so everything I have done has been at my own expense. This issue can cause a serious wreck and for a young driver could be fatal. Can you please look into this situation. We are stuck with what we have, as we are still paying on it. We can get no answers, except keep replacing parts with better quality ones. Which brings the questions up, why did they use less than good quality when it was built.
