[xxx] every time i drive my vehicle, which has only 23k miles, the car starts to shake and shimmer at 54-55 miles per hour. Many times if the road is not even i have a feeling that the jeep will go out of control. I have to grab the steering wheel w/both hands tightly whenever i am at the 54-55 speed. This has been an issue since i owned the vehicle. I thought for the longest time that it was the road causing this. I have this vehicle as a second car and do not at all feel safe driving this car now. Information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u. S. C. 552(b)(6). |
