| Description of the problem | Purchased the brand new 2018 jeep wrangler sahara with 40 miles on november 30, 2018. Currently, this vehicle has 1,975 miles. In late december 2018 hit a bump on a highway driving the posted speed of 70mph and the vehicle vibrated a bit and had to slow down to handle the vehicle. Each week after driving the vehicle on daily commute in city conditions at the posted speed of 25-30mph, after hitting a bump in the pavement the vehicle does not handle well, as if i would lose control. On january 27, 2019 driving on a ramp at the speed of 45mph upon entering the interstate the vehicle hit a bump in the pavement, the vehicle begins an uncontrollable vibration and was shaking the steering wheel, i had to pull over. After researching this issue online with the same issue, i feel unsafe driving my only vehicle. For a vehicle valued over $45,000, i need this issue to be investigated before someone is seriously injured. I do not feel safe driving on the interstate at the posted speed. The vehicle feels unstable while driving over any bump in the pavement at 20mph the vehicle wobbles and sways. |
