Consumer Description

AS I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY ALL OF A SUDDEN WITHOUT ANY WARNING THE FRONT END OF MY JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE STARTED SHAKING VERY VIOLENTLY. I TOOK MY FOOT OFF THE GAS PEDAL AND TRIED TO SLOWLY APPLY THE BRAKES AND GET THE JEEP OFF THE EDGE OF THE ROAD. IT WAS REALLY HARD TO CONTROL THE CAR BUT I DID MANAGE TO GET IT OFF THE ROAD. I DROVE BACK HOME ON THE EDGE OF THE ROAD GOING ABOUT 30 MPH WITH MY FLASHERS ON. I TOOK MY JEEP TO MY MECHANIC WHO REPLACED THE STABILIZER BAR BUT IT WASN'T LONG BEFORE IT HAPPENED AGAIN. I HAVE HAD SEVERAL PARTS REPLACED ON MY FRONT END BUT IT STILL CONTINUES TO HAPPEN. I AM REALLY SCARED TO DRIVE ON A HIGHWAY GOING 55 MPH ANYMORE AND DON'T DO IT UNLESS I REALLY HAVE TO. *TR
