2007: “My Jeep has the death wobble - I've spent over $1000 trying to fix it. When going over 50 on a highway, a slow shake quickly turns into a violent shaking of the Jeep back and forth until I'm almost stopped (5pmph-ish) on the middle of a busy highway. I was almost rear-ended the other day, and am petrified to bring it on the highway now.”
