| Description of the problem | I bought this brand new and did not modify it. A few months after purchase, it started violently shaking after i hit a bump at highway speeds. On 3/7/19, the dealership replaced the steering wheel dampener. It still wasn't fixed so i brought it in again on 4/12/19 and they replaced the same part. It seemed to fix it for the most part but now it's back to the violently shaking at highway speeds. I have an appointment on thursday 11/7/19 for them to fix it again so i can drive my brand new car. I have read that this is not a safety issue, but i assure you it is. I can't control the steering wheel until i slow down to about 45. Going from 65 to 45 on a highway while the whole car is shaking is in fact a hazard. I am going to request copies of my service contracts when i get to the dealership on thursday. If you should need them, i can send them to you.*dt*jb |
