| Description of the problem | At speeds of 60 miles per hour and greater, when vehicle hits a bump in the road the entire front end violently vibrates causing loss of steering control. Very difficult to steer however resolves itself after hitting another bump, slowing down or after a minute or so. This occurs on high way driving and it is very difficulty to slow down. First noticed early august 2018 and still persists today. Been to dealer twice and they found nothing the first time second time they say it is a steering damper that has air bubbles in it. They have not corrected the problem and it is getting worse.. |
