| Description of the problem | Traveling west on i 40 in wilmington nc approx 70 mph when vehicle began to suddenly shake violently for no apparent reason. My wife became so scared as she drove, we had to pull over and i had to take over driving. She will not drive this jeep again. I've never seen a vehicle shake so violently as if the entire front end was about to fall out from under the car any second. Not a safety issue, i think it definitely is a safety issue. 3 lane highway, 70 mph, cars on every side of you and you have to slam on brakes, or the instinct is to slam on brakes because you don't know if you are about to die or not. Please investigate this front end issue with jeep wrangler. |
