| Description of the problem | I purchased a 2018 jeep wrangler (jl 4 door sahara) in august 2018. At speeds exceeding 55 mph the jeep shakes uncontrollably making handling/steering close to impossible. I have to slow down to about 25 mph to gain control of the vehicle. This happens when i hit even a slight bump in the road. My jeep has already been to dealership for a similar issue (recall on track bar frame bracket) and nothing was found. I have a $48,000 vehicle that i can't take on the highway. Currently less than 5000 miles on the wrangler. Very dangerous! |
