Consumer Description

I WAS DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE GOING 65 MPH AND ALL OF A SUDDEN THE JEEP STARTED SHAKING UNCONTROLLABLY. I THOUGHT I WAS GOING TO WRECK AND I WAS IN A PANIC. I SLOWED DOWN TO AN UNSAFE SPEED TO MAKE IT STOP. THEN I EXITED AND CHECKED THE VEHICLE OUT TO MY SURPRISE EVERYTHING WAS FINE. SO I GOT BACK ON THE ROAD AND CONTINUED ON. THEN I HAD TO EXIT AND IT STARTED DOING IT AGAIN. THIS TIME IS WAS SO VIOLENT I THOUGHT I WAS GOING TO GO OFF THE EXIT AND CRASH. I HAVE NEVER HAD A LIFT ON MY JEEP OR ANYTHING IT IS ALL MANUFACTURE PARTS. I BELIEVE WITH ALL MY HEART THAT JEEP HAS MADE A FAULTY FRONT END. WHEN I CONTACTED THEM THEY SAID THEY DIDN'T KNOW HOW TO FIX IT. PLEASE RECALL THIS IT IS VERY DANGEROUS AND GOING TO GET SOMEONE KILLED. *TR
