| Description of the problem | While driving down the highway @ roughly 55 mph, my 2009 jeep wrangler hit a small bump in the road. My steering wheel began violently shaking side to side. I immediately pushed on the brake and tried to safely slow the vehicle without causing the vehicle behind me to crash into me. I pulled-over to the shoulder. This vibration referred to as "death wobble" occurs each and every time i am traveling between 55 and 60 mph and, i brake or hit a bump in the road. It is an awful sensation. |
