[XXX] EVERY TIME I DRIVE MY VEHICLE, WHICH HAS ONLY 23K MILES, THE CAR STARTS TO SHAKE AND SHIMMER AT 54-55 MILES PER HOUR. MANY TIMES IF THE ROAD IS NOT EVEN I HAVE A FEELING THAT THE JEEP WILL GO OUT OF CONTROL. I HAVE TO GRAB THE STEERING WHEEL W/BOTH HANDS TIGHTLY WHENEVER I AM AT THE 54-55 SPEED. THIS HAS BEEN AN ISSUE SINCE I OWNED THE VEHICLE. I THOUGHT FOR THE LONGEST TIME THAT IT WAS THE ROAD CAUSING THIS. I HAVE THIS VEHICLE AS A SECOND CAR AND DO NOT AT ALL FEEL SAFE DRIVING THIS CAR NOW. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR
