Was traveling at 55 miles per hour and hit a bump in the road. The front end started shaking like I had blown a tire. I pulled over, waited a few minutes and drove away. A few weeks later, the same thing happened. Took it to the dealership, was advised steering stabilizer was defective, took the vehicle to the dealer several times, after that only to drive away in an unsafe vehicle. The problem was not corrected by the dealership. Got tired of fighting with Jeep to fix the problem so I had to get the parts and fix it myself, but I still have the old parts. In addition, damage to the tires due to the steering stabilizer. Also do to the faulty part it caused damage to the tires and they still need replaced. Failure mileages was 46,695.
