| Description of the problem | Several times, after hitting a small bump in the road, generally at speeds over 50 mph, i have experienced an extreme "shimmy" in the front end of the vehicle causing limited control. I took the vehicle to the dealer for repairs, however, they could not determine the cause and after replacing several parts they were still not able to resolve the problem. I took the vehicle to a private repair shop and had several other parts replaced and still no resolution to the problem. Balancing and tire pressure have been maintained by the dealer as well as other certified mechanics. Due to the loss of control when this wobble occurs, i am afraid to drive the vehicle |
