Experienced death wobble on freeway at 45-55 and to regain control have T0 apply brakes and almost come to a dead stop.

Family ownership since new. Recently started experiencing the "death wobble." Jeep traveling on a high speed (above 60) road starts to shake uncontrollably and is difficult/impossible to steer or maneuver. Jeep feels like it is going to fall apart. Happens without warning. Have to stop or significantly slow down before shaking stops. This is the third time in the past six months.
