| Description of the problem | Main issue - driving down the road hit a bump/uneven patch of road and the car shimmers/jerks/wobbles back and forth providing a feeling of losing control of the vehicle. Honestly, i have noticed the shimmering/wobbling/jerking since the first bump i went over with the jeep wrangler. I thought this was normal for jeep as this is my first jeep wrangler i have owned. I even went as far as to remove the original tires (more off road) and get all around tires recommended by the jeep dealer per my private car maintenance specialist. This still did not help. I have this uneasiness when driving the jeep. I have learned to brace myself when i notice rough/uneven road ahead. While traveling northern michigan (i-75) i hit a bump in the road (the road was partially covered with snow), the jeep jerked/shimmered - i spun out of control said a few prayers and was able to bring the jeep back under control without flipping. I sat on the side of the freeway for almost a half hour before i had the courage to continue my journey. My younger adult children and husband do not like to drive my jeep because of this wobble/jerky experience after a bump/even road. They don't feel safe. Something needs to be done to correct this problem, before someone is injured or killed. |
