Consumer Description

THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE JEEP HIT A SMALL BUMP IN THE ROAD AND THE ENTIRE FRONT OF THE CAR BEGAN TO OSCILLATE AT HIGH SPEED. THE ONLY WAY TO MAKE IT STOP WAS TO SLOW DOWN ON THE HIGHWAY DURING TRAFFIC. I HAD TO SLOW DOWN TO APPROXIMATELY 30 MILES PER HOUR. AFTER THE OSCILLATION STOPPED WE BEGAN TRAVELLING AGAIN AND GOT UP TO 55 MPH AGAIN. A SMALL BUMP IN THE ROAD WAS HIT AND SAME SITUATION OCCURRED. THIS VEHICLE HAS A COMPLETELY STOCK SUSPENSION SYSTEM AND WE'VE ONLY OWNED IT FOR APPROXIMATELY 2 YEARS. *JS
