| Description of the problem | With cruise control on, traveling 65 mph north on i-95, melbourne, florida, the wrangler steering wheel started shaking violently almost loosing my grip. The entire jeep started shaking violently as if the wheels were coming off. I had to apply the brakes, turn on emergency flashers and slowed down to about 25 mph. The wrangler evened out after slowing down to 25mph on i-95. The steering wheel, being almost uncontrollable, could have caused lives lost. Please don't wait for that to happen. Something has to be done now. This is a stock jeep. Thank you. |
