| Description of the problem | While on the highway going at a speed 55mph or higher, the car will go over a small bump while on a slight hill or turn, and begin to violently shake the car, only stopping when the car has been slowed to a stop - requiring the vehicle to pull off the highway to stop the shaking. Due to the violent wobble, the car is difficult to control, and feels as though it could create a significant accident at high mile per hour speeds, or concerns about causing an accident on the highway due to the vehicle needing to pull off in order to stop the wobbling. Incredibly dangerous when any type of inclement weather exists. Have had to pull off the highway several times in order to stop the violent shaking, making this driver extremely fearful to drive on the highway. This vehicle is stock, no alterations done. |
