| Description of the problem | When traveling west bound on i-10 through phoenix, after hitting slight bump in the highway, my steering wheel began to shake violently for approximately 5 to 10 seconds. I immediately began to slow down and the powerful wobble subsided. I had an additional incident with powerful shaking in my steering wheel about a month later, again traveling at approximately 50 mph on an interstate highway. This sudden and unexpected shaking of the jeep's front end is scary. |
