| Description of the problem | I have a 2018 jeep wrangler sport unlimited with 7,000 miles. I have been experiencing a violent shaking when hitting a slight bump in a road traveling anywhere from 45-70 mph. The violent shaking has been so bad that i have had to pull over several times on the highway. I have taken the vehicle to the dealer 5 times for the issue. Repairs were made and eventually the steering dampner was replaced. My dealer is now in the process of ordering an aftermarket part to replace the original but that piece is on backorder for several weeks. The violent shaking continues and i feel that it is getting worse and is a safety concern in my opinion as this continues to happen on the highway while traveling the speed limit at 60+ mph. I honestly do not feel safe traveling with my young children and don't feel comfortable with the process my dealership is taking or that the "fix" they have planned will work. |
