| Description of the problem | On 9/30/19 at 4:30am, odometer reading of 170 miles, while at highway speed, approx 70 mph, on i-295, the vehicle began to violently shake. It was uncontrollable until my speed reduced to 35 mph. At 35 mph the shaking began to subside while i continued to slow to a stop. The incident appeared to be triggered by a slight bump or seam in the pavement. On 9/30/19 the vehicle was serviced at cherry hill dodge chrysler jeep, 1708 w. Marlton pike, cherry hill nj 08002. They determined cause to be faulty steering damper and replaced it with part number 68251580ad which i was told was an improved part over the original. At first the problem seemed to be resolved. Then on 11/3/19 at 9:30pm, odometer reading 1,490 miles the violent shaking occurred again. Circumstances were the same, traveling at highway speed, approx 70 mph, had to reduce speed to stop the shaking, again on i-295 but different location, again apparently triggered by a slight bump or seam in the pavement. |
