Description of the problem	Within the first week of receiving vehicle, i experienced a violent shaking of the steering wheel while traveling 60 mph on the highway, that almost caused me to run into the vehicle next to me. This occurred several times that day. After several occurrences, i realized it seemed to occur when hitting a bump. Called service department who reassured me this was not a safety issue (???) and that they would replace the recalled track bar. Several weeks later, said track bar was replaced (they are on backorder). The vehicle continues to demonstrate this violent loss of steering control and at most recent inspection (after being told it can't still be happening), i was told they found "some play" in the drag link joint at pitman arm and part has been ordered. This weekend, the violent shaking occurred and would not stop for well over 30 seconds, even when i took my foot off accelerator and then hit the brake (on the higheay, next to a semi). I just took possession of this vehicle on november 29 and it only had 5000 miles (demo sold as new). Something needs to be done about this. It's happening in brand new, unmodified vehicles.
