Consumer Description

WHILE DRIVING AT LOW SPEED, MAKING A RIGHT TURN AND ACCELERATING INTO TRAFFIC, THE WHOLE CAR SHAKES/WOBBLES FROM SIDE TO SIDE. ALMOST FRIGHTENINGLY SEVERE AT TIMES. DEALER CLAIMS THEY CANNOT REPRODUCE. SOMETIMES GET THIS SHAKE WHILE ACCELERATING GENTLY IN STRAIGHT LINE, USUALLY ALWAYS WHEN IN SECOND GEAR. THEY CONTINUE TO PRODUCE THESE JEEPS EVERY DAY, MANY WILL HAVE THIS DEFECT. THERE ARE BULLETINS OUT THERE, BUT NOBODY REALLY HAS CLAIMED THE ISSUE IS FIXED. UNACCEPTABLE FOR A MODERN, NEW DESIGNED CAR. FEELS LIKE A SAFETY RISK, BUT DEALER REFUSES TO HELP. SHOULDN'T I FEEL SAFE DRIVING MY NEW CAR?
