Consumer Description

WHILE DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE, I HIT A BUMP AND MY JEEP STARTED SHAKING VIOLENTLY. I HAD TO PULL OFF THE SIDE OF THE ROAD TO MAKE IT STOP. EVERY TIME I HIT A SMALL BUMP THIS HAPPENS ONLY GOING ABOVE 55. HITTING THE BRAKES DOES NOT WORK, YOU HAVE TO SLOW DOWN TO ABOUT 40 TO GET IT TO STOP. THIS IS UNSAFE WHEN YOU ARE ON A HIGHWAY AND THE SPEED LIMIT IS 65 OR 70.
