NHTSA Complaint #10583086 — 2007 JEEP WRANGLER

I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY, HIT A BUMP IN THE ROAD WHILE CHANGING LANES. THE CAR STARTED SHAKING VERY VIOLENTLY. I HAS TO PULL OFF THE ROAD SLOWING TO ABOUT 40 MPH IN ORDER TO REGAIN CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE AND STOP THE SHAKING. WHEN THE SHAKING STARTS THE ENTIRE VEHICLE SHAKES SO VIOLENTLY IT IS HARD TO STEER OR EVEN FOCUS ON THE ROAD BECAUSE YOU ARE SHAKING TOO. I HAVE HAD THE VEHICLE IN TO JEEP DEALERSHIPS ON A NUMBER OF OCCASIONS AND THEY ALL TELL ME THE SUSPENSION IS FINE. FINALLY THIS LAST TIME, AFTER COMPLAINING OF THE "DEATH SHAKE" AS I HAVE COME TO RESEARCH AND DISCOVER, THEY WERE ABLE TO PUT A LARGER STEERING DAMPENER ON MY VEHICLE THAN WAS THERE IN ORDER TO CONTROL THE SHAKING. I STILL FEEL VIBRATIONS AT EXPRESSWAY SPEEDS BUT IT IS NOT VIOLENT SHAKING ANYMORE. THIS REPAIR COST OVER $250. *TT
