Consumer Description

TRAVELLING ON A STRAIGHT ROAD AT APPROXIMATELY 50-60MPH, HIT A SMALL BUMP IN THE ROAD. THE STEERING WHEEL BEGAN TO SHAKE A LITTLE THEN VIOLENTLY AND ALMOST LOST CONTROL OF THE JEEP. I HAD TO COME TO A COMPETE STOP IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD BEFORE THE SHAKING WOULD STOP. I WAS SCARED TOO DEATH. I HAD THE JEEP CHECKED OVER AND NOTHING WAS BROKEN OR WORN. NOW AFRAID TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE. THERE ARE MANY COMPLAINTS ON THIS SITE AS WELL AS THE INTERNET FOR THE SAME ISSUE. WHEN WILL THIS BE ADDRESSED BEFORE SOMEONE GETS KILLED?
