Description of the problem | Front end began excessive shaking on interstate at 65mph. Almost lost control, but managed to avoid a crash. The same shaking happens anytime i drive over a bump in the road on the right front tire now, but first problem happened at interstate speed. I have to pull over and stop moving to stop the shaking. Happens at all speeds now. Car is at kia dealer to replace sway bar link. Very dangerous condition, especially at interstate speeds. I contacted kia consumer department. They were not receptive to the problem. |
