| Component | SUSPENSION |
| Product type code | VEHICLE |
| Description of the problem | While driving this vehicle, along with two toddlers in the backseat, at 50 mph, without warning, the suspension began to shake violently. As ii had never experienced anything like this in my life, my first instinct was to apply the brakes, as i had absolutely zero control of the vehicle. Wrong move! This caused the jeep to hop, and skip , i also lost the ability to steer. I then began to pray for my babies, who had been asleep in the backseat. I removed my foot from brakes, and fought with the steering wheel until i could crawl to a stop in the middle of the road!!! I was so shaken up, that i fear for my teenage son, who i share this vehicle with. After this incident, and some extensive research, i cannot believe these vehicles are allowed on the road! They are a hazard to so many innocent lives. Thank god, there was not any incoming traffic, on the highway at thie time. Something has to be done! Take action please!!! |
