| Description of the problem | At highway speeds (60+ mph), the entire steering column and jeep shakes after i pass over a bridge. The only way to come out of the shake is to lower my speed down to about 40 mph which is unsafe when in heavy traffic. The first time it happened (~10,000 miles on my new jeep) with intensity, i would have lost control of my vehicle if i did not have both hands on the wheel. I was truly scared. The dealership replaced my steering wheel damper which helped for a little while. About 2 months later (~13,000 miles on my jeep), it happened again. The vehicle is currently at the dealership and they are looking it over again. |
