Consumer Description

ORIGINAL OWNER. WHILE DESCENDING A LONG HILL I APPLIED MY BRAKES TO SLOW DOWN. THE VEHICLE, FRONT END, BEGAN TO SHAKE VIOLENTLY. IT TOOK SOME TIME TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM, STOP SHAKING, WHILE DESCENDING WITH TRAFFIC. VERY UPSETTING. ALSO NOTICED THIS OCCURRENCE ON FLAT PAVEMENT AND VARIOUS SPEEDS, 40 TO 60 MPH. WE RECENTLY TOOK ANOTHER TRIP AND NOTICED THE PROBLEM IS OCCURRING FREQUENTLY. OUR FAMILY WOULD APPRECIATE NHTSA TO LOOK INTO THIS MATTER. I RECENTLY NOTICED OTHER COMPLAINTS SIMILAR TO THIS ONE. JUST WONDERING IF JEEP CHRYSLER IS AWARE OF THIS DANGEROUS PROBLEM AND WHAT ARE THEY DOING ABOUT IT. I AM MAKING AN APPOINTMENT WITH A JEEP CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP TO SEE IF THEY CAN CORRECT THIS PROBLEM. THANK YOU FOR LOOKING INTO THIS MATTER IN A TIMELY FASHION. *TR
