| Description of the problem | While driving on the freeway at approximately 65-70 mph i hit a bump on the road and the steering wheel began to violently wobble and it took a min to stop, the second time my husband and i were again driving on the freeway between 70-75 mph and again for no apparent reason the steering wheel started to violently wobble and was hard to regain control of it i feared i would cause a collision on the freeway, i had to slow down and try to get the steering under control. Because my husband had to go out of town, the jeep was parked because of unsafe violent wobbling of the steering wheel until we were able to take it to crystal chrysler dealership where we purchased it on november 30, 2018. The dealership has had the jeep for a week and is still unable to diagnose the problem. At this point we are deathly afraid to drive it as we have no faith in the vehicle's safety for myself or for others on the road in the event that i cant control the violent shaking of the steering wheel. |
