| Description of the problem | When driving at highway speed, approx 70 mph, and hitting a small bump in the road the steering column and interior of the car shook violently. (death wobble). I had to slow down rather quickly and was almost rear ended by the car behind me,. This happened prior and we brought it back to the dealer and they the replaced a part, but that obviously that did not fix the problem. The first time it happened my wife was driving and i told her it's just a jeep and that is how they ride over bumps, but after it happened to me, i knew right away that was what she felt the first time! We brought the car to the dealership and they said it this is not the first time someone has complained about this. The car is at the dealership and we are not sure it will ever be fixed properly. She does not want to drive the car again |
