| Description of the problem | Within a couple weeks of driving i was on the interstate at about 65 mph and hit a small bridge bump, the steering wheel started shaking violently. I had to pull over. I brought it to the dealership and they said they fixed it. The shaking was still there just not as violent. In the past 7 years i have brought it to the dealership 4 times for the same problem. They say they fixed it and the same thing happened. After the warranty ran out they charged me over $3,000. 00 to fix it. Again got a little better for awhile, the shaking wasn't as bad. Then it happened again. I brought it back they said there was nothing wrong with it. I had someone take a video on the interstate after i hit a bridge bump showing violent shaking and dangerous control. I showed the dealership the problem they said they have seen it before and told me to call chrysler. I called them they said they never heard of that problem but would get back to me in a week. Two weeks went by so i called them and they said there was nothing they could do and bring it back to the dealership which told me to call them. I am driving a death trap on the interstate and no one will identify and fix the problem.
