Consumer Description

I BEGAN DRIVING DOWN THE STREET GOING ABOUT 45 MPH WHEN THE STEERING WHEEL START TO SHAKE VIOLENTLY FROM LEFT TO RIGHT. WHICH CAUSED THE WHOLE VEHICLE TO SHAKE. I APPLIED THE BRAKES AND PULLED OVER. I THOUGHT I BLEW OUT A TIRE OR SNAPPED A LUG ON ONE OF THE WHEELS. WALKED AROUND THE VEHICLE AND EVERYTHING LOOKED FINE. WHEN I CAME BACK UP TO 40 MPH AND STARTED TO HAPPEN AGAIN. IT DIDN'T HAPPEN AGAIN FOR A FEW WEEKS. THEN IT HAPPENED AGAIN WITH I WAS COMING AROUND ON A RAMP TO ENTER THE INTERSTATE. I WAS GOING ABOUT 60 AT THIS TIME AND HAD TO SLOW DOWN IMMEDIATELY TO KEEP FROM RUNNING INTO THE CONCRETE BARRICADES. NOW IT HAPPENS ONCE OR MORE A WEEK WHEN I TURN OR DRIVE UP TO 40 MPH AND MORE. HAVE NOT BEEN IN ACCIDENT FROM IT YET BECAUSE NO ONE HAS FOLLOWED ME TOO CLOSE WHEN I HAVE TO APPLY THE BRAKES. *TR
