Consumer Description
DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 45 MPH ON A STATE HIGHWAY, MAKING A SLIGHT LEFT TURN, HIT A SMALL BUMP IN THE ROAD, AND THE STEERING WHEEL STARTED JERKING VIOLENTLY FROM LEFT TO RIGHT FROM THE 9:00 TO 3:00 POSITIONS. I COULD NOT STOP IT WITH BOTH HANDS. I HAD TO BRAKE THE VEHICLE TO ALMOST A COMPLETE STOP TO END THE JERKING. THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING ON ALMOST A DAILY BASIS. THE VEHICLE CURRENTLY HAS 22,193 MILES ON IT. IT HAS BEEN TO THE DEALERSHIP AT LEAST 4 TIMES AND THEY HAVE BEEN CALLED NUMEROUS TIMES WITH THE PROBLEM. THEY HAVE CHECKED THE TIRE PRESSURE SEVERAL TIMES. THE FRONT END. CHANGED THE STEERING DAMPER , WHICH SLIGHTLY HELPED FOR ABOUT 500 MILES. IT IS NOW HAPPENING EVERY TIME I DRIVE THE VEHICLE AND IS GETTING WORSE. NOW ALSO HAPPENING AT LOWER SPEEDS, AROUND 30 MPH AND UP. *TR
