 Description of the problemEntering the interstate and driving up to approximately 60-65mph, the steering wheel shook violently to the point where i needed to slow down drastically to stop the vibration. I took the vehicle in for service on the13th of march at ewald jeep in franklin when they told me to replace the front tires because they were 2/32. I told them the tires have only 15,000 miles on them then they told me to see the place (pomps in racine) that sold me the tires. Pomps said i needed an alignment. Then, on the 8th of april driving at 40mph on a bumpy road, the steering wheel shook violently again with what felt like the front wheels were loose. To stop this vibration, i needed to slow to 10 to 20 mph. I called for service once again to ewald on the10th of april. They replaced the steering damper ($126. 28 and $98 for labor). They also performed a 2 wheel front end alignment. Then on saturday the 18th of april, it happened again. As soon as i got home, i called ewald and told them the shakes are back. Went in on monday the 20th and had a service tech drive it. He said nothing out of the ordinary occurred while he drove it. Minor shakes in the steering wheel but
