Consumer Description

ANYTIME I AM DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AND I HIT A MINOR BUMP IN THE ROAD THE STEERING WHEEL SHAKES EXTREMELY VIOLENTLY. WHEN THIS HAPPENS THE ONLY FIX IS TO SLOW DOWN TO BELOW 25 MPH IN MY CURRENT LANE. ONCE I GET TO THAT LOW OF A SPEED THE SHAKING STOPS. WHEN THE SHAKING OCCURS IT IS SO VIOLENT THAT I CAN'T CHANGE LANES OR GET ONTO THE SHOULDER. THEREFORE, THE ONLY OPTION IS TO SLOW DOWN TO UNDER 25 MPH ON THE HIGHWAY IN MY CURRENT LANE WHICH ISN'T SAFE. THIS PROBLEM STARTED HAPPENING IN DECEMBER 2016.
