| Description of the problem | After installation of the jeep manufactured and warrantied 2 inch mopar lift kit at the jeep dealership, the vehicle's steering wheel and front end will violently shake after hitting a bump at speeds of 50 miles per hour and above. This was most commonly seen when driving over bridges at speeds of around 50 mph. The vehicle was taken to the dealer when they claimed they could not duplicate the results. I then had to risk my own safety to demonstrate to a technician that the problem was indeed happening. This oscillation of the steering and suspension components is extremely dangerous and requires me to come to a complete stop before the vehicle will stop shaking. I also have little to no control over the vehicle when this happens until the vehicle has been slowed down substantially. The problem is ongoing and has yet to be solved. |
