I recently purchased a used 2008 Jeep Wrangler Sahara and I was super stoked. I still am but Chrysler Jeep SERIOUSLY needs to look into the "Death Wobble" issue with these Jeeps. I certainly hope you're not waiting until someone loses or comes close to losing their life because of this. The first time this happened to me, I was on a very busy highway and had to pull off because I became so afraid. It took me 30 min to gather the courage to get back into the car and crawl home in the slow lane. In another instance, I had children in the car and they began sobbing and wanted to leave the vehicle immediately. After searching online and seeing the countless experiences others have had, I am shocked that there hasn't been a recall. This is an awesome vehicle with a major flaw. Please do something to at least minimize the intensity of the wobble. You literally lose control of the Jeep.
