| Description of the problem | At 3800 miles my vehicle experienced violent steering wheel vibration. The dealership replaced the steering damper. Within weeks it started to occur again. I opened a case with chrysler and the dealership and it appears the fix is replacing it with another aftermarket steering damper that isn't available till july. The frequency and severity of the wobble is increasing. This morning on a 20 minute commute it occurred twice. Once at 70mph and then once at 58mph exiting the highway. Turning the wheel to get of the exit was difficult and the vibration continued until i got the car down to 30mph. I call chrysler again telling them i'm actually scared now to drive my vehicle on the highway and at this rate am risk for an accident and can't wait till july for repair. |
