| Description of the problem | Takata recall: while on the highway traveling at 50mph or higher, if the jeep hits a small bump, the vehicle will begin to violently shake, only stopping the vehicle makes it come to a stop. This extreme wobble makes controlling the vehicle difficult, which could have resulted in severe highway accidents. Extremely dangerous in any type of inclement weather. This has required me to pull off the highway several times, which in itself is also a dangerous situation to be in. I have taken my vehicle to the dealership of purchase 2 times with in the first 6 week of purchase and then the dealership of purchase sent it to the local jeep dealership which it has been there 3 time in a 2 month period in an attempt to fix it. They have replaced my steering dampener,sway bar link, track bar, bushing, balanced my tires, and replaced any in the front suspension in an attempt to fix the problem which has not to this point. Extremely dangerous problem- can't believe there is not a recall! |
