| Description of the problem | First time i noticed it vehicle was in motion i hit a small pothole and steering of the vehicle was uncontrollable for 10 15 seconds (the first time this happened we were on the way home from the hospital with our newborn and pulled over thinking a tire possibly blew). Now, even the smallest bump in the road will cause the vehicle to shimmy and wobble almost taking over complete control of the steering. When i brought the jeep in for a routine oil change they did not mention the recall until i asked them about a possible problem with my vehicles steering. I have also received no notices or phone calls for this steering recall. This could be very dangerous if it was to happen with an inexperienced driver. We have to drive on a road daily that is problematic as it is under construction with all kinds of bumps and uneven surfaces. My vehicle is scheduled for the service recall repair. I wanted to document the problem with your agency and also note that jeep did not contact me whatsoever regarding this recall. |
