| Component | STEERING |
| Product type code | VEHICLE |
| Description of the problem | Driving on the interstate at a constant speed and hit a rough area on the pavement and the vehicle began to vibrate and rock back and forth violently. I was able to steer it, but had to pull off the road for this violent rocking to stop. It is not a constant problem, but occurs when certain rough areas of pavement set up this violent vibration. This has occurred on numerous occasions over the last several years. Tried to get it fixed, seemed to be a mystery. Learned that this is experienced by many owners of jeeps and other select vehicles. There are many, many descriptions and videos on the internet. I also see complaints of this on your site. Why do you not care? Why are you not doing your job? I did not get killed. Is this what it takes for you to take notice? I want nothing, only for this to be remedied. It is certainly a safety concern & quite frightening, especially then this occurs in heavy traffic. |
