| Description of the problem | I was driving the jeep on the highway going the speed limit of 65 mph and when changing lanes and hitting a bumpy part of the highway, the jeep began to shake vigorously. I had to slow down to 40 mph and pull off the side of the hwy. After this incident, anytime driving the jeep over 55 mph and hitting a bump, the jeep would shake. I would have to slow down below the speed limit for it to regain control. The jeep was taken into the service department and they installed a new "steering stabilizer". When traveling on the highway again going 65 mph, hitting a pothole, the jeep began to shake again. I was able to regain control when slowing down under the speed limit to 50/55 mph. This is not acceptable for a brand new car. I should be able to go the speed limit on the highway, hit a bump, and not feel as if my life is in danger. These cars need to be recalled before someone is seriously injured including myself and my passengers. |
