| Description of the problem | I experienced a "violent" shaking of my 2011 jeep wrangler unlimited twice before taking it into the shop. The first time, in late october 2018, i was going around 40mph and was on a busy one lane highway. I had never felt anything like it before. The jeep began to shake back and forth violently. I slowed down and the shake went away. The second time was 4 or 5 days later on an interstate. This time the jeep (going about 55mph) shook so much, it pulled the car into the passing lane before slowing down and maintaining control of the vehicle. I got off the highway and found a less busy road to get home. I took the jeep in to get looked at and they replaced the "track bar" for $500. Two days later the same incident occurred again and has happened once or twice since, each time going between 40mph and 60mph. Based on the experiences i have had, i cannot afford to drive the car anymore. I have a baby daughter born just a week ago and am not willing to risk having the jeep falling apart, roll over, or veer into oncoming traffic. |
