While driving my Jeep on a public road going about 45, the vehicle began to shake uncontrollably. I had to pull over and stop the vehicle in order for the shaking to stop. It was incredibly dangerous, and I was lucky that I wasn't involved in an accident.
Violent wobbling of front of Jeep, it comes and goes at different speeds and you must come to a sudden stop to avoid loosing control of vehicle. I don't know what is causing this as there is no apparent damage to repair. In my opinion it is a factory defect and the vehicle is unsafe for use on public roads and highways.
The vehicle used as personal auto, non recreational vehicle, in mormal city driveing conditions. Speed 50 to 55 mph, I passed over a seam in the pavement, an undamped oscelation was initated in the front suspension, the car became uncontrolable at all speeds. I was alble to safely pull the vehicle to the side of the rode and stop without further incednet. Investitagion of the steering components identifed exceve wear on front end tie rods and stearing damper. The car is a 97 Jeep tj with 35000 miles.
Consumer states that while driving ran over bump in the road and loss control of vehicle. Consumer feels the power steering resovoir was poorly designed.
