NHTSA Complaint #10537348 — 2008 JEEP WRANGLER

WHILE DRIVING 45MPH AND MAKING A SLIGHT BEND TO THE LEFT OR RIGHT, THE VEHICLE ENCOUNTERED A SLIGHT BUMP AND THE STEERING WHEEL STARTED SHAKING VIOLENTLY. I HAD TO BRING THE VEHICLE TO A COMPLETE STOP ALONG THE SIDE OF THE ROAD IN ORDER TO GET THE SHAKING TO STOP. THIS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES DURING THIS TRIP. THE VEHICLE WAS VERY DIFFICULT TO CONTROL ONCE THE SHAKING STARTED. IT FELT AS THOUGH THE ENTIRE VEHICLE WOULD JUST SHAKE APART. THERE IS ALSO A CLICKING FEELING THAT CAN BE FELT IN THE STEERING ONCE THE VEHICLE WARMS UP AND IS DRIVEN BETWEEN 5 TO 10 MILES. THE STEERING ACTUALLY FEELS MORE LOOSE ONCE THIS WARMED UP CONDITION IS MET. THE CLICK IS FELT GOING OVER ANY TYPE OF BUMP IN THE ROAD OR EVEN WHEN SITTING STILL AND THE STEERING WHEEL IS MOVED BACK AND FORTH, (LEFT TO RIGHT). *TR
