Consumer Description

WHILE DRIVING AT 55-75 MPH, WHEN HITTING A BUMP, THE WHEELS START BOUNCING ERRATICALLY AND THE STEERING WHEEL SHAKES VIOLENTLY. THE ONLY WAY TO GET IT TO STOP IS TO SLOW DOWN TO 40-50 MPH. OUT OF ALL THE CARS AND TRUCKS I'VE EVER DRIVEN, I'VE NEVER EXPERIENCED ANYTHING EVEN CLOSE TO THIS. EVERYONE IN THE CAR FREAKED OUT AND NOW NO-ONE IN MY FAMILY WILL DRIVE THE CAR. IT'S A NEW WRANGLER, STILL < 10,000 MILES AND NO MODIFICATIONS TO ANYTHING - COMPLETELY STOCK. THIS HAS HAPPENED ABOUT 20-25 TIMES. OUR RECENT 3 HOUR DRIVE ON THE EXPRESSWAY, IT HAPPENED 4 TIMES.
