| Description of the problem | While traveling on interstate at posted speeds every rough patch of roadway or going over a bridge (bump entering or exiting bridge) the steering wheel would shake violently. I would let off gas, gently apply brake and pull onto shoulder to get control back of vehicle. Sometimes i would have to come to a complete stop before the shaking would stop other times between 5 to 20 mphs the shaking would stop. This was a 300 mile trip home, i reduced speed to see if this would decrease the effects, it seem to help where roads were smoother but happened nearly just the same. The vehicle is equipped with electronic stability control which never activated. It has happened numerous time since dec 17 2011. |
