STANDARD 2018 JEEP WRANGLER, NO MODICATIONS, FACTORY TIRES, RECENTLY SERVICED WITH OIL CHANGE. DAY, DRY CONDITIONS, NO ROAD HAZARDS. WHILE DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE AT APPROX 70 MPH, THE ASPHALT AREA AROUND AN OVERPASS IS A LITTLE HIGH, AND WHEN OUR FRONT TIRES MADE CONTACT WITH THE UNEVEN SURFACE, THE CAR IMMEDIATELY BEGAN TO VIOLENTLY SHAKE AND WOBBLE FOR OVER 45 SECONDS TO A MINUTE, AND THE STEERING WHEEL WOBBLED EXCESSIVELY WHILE I WAS TRYING TO TROUBLESHOOT THE MALFUNCTION, AND MAINTAIN CONTROL OF THE JEEP. I PROCEEDED TO SLOW FOR TO APPROX 40 MPH USING MY BRAKES LIGHTLY, AND MAINTAINING A GRIP ON THE STEERING WHEEL WHICH I COULD BARELY HOLD ONTO AND THE OSCILLATIONS, WENT AWAY. I RESUMED ACCELERATION BACK TO 65-70 MPH, AND AGAIN ENCOUNTERED SOME MORE UNEVEN PAVEMENT. THE ENTIRE EPISODE RE-OCCURED AND WAS SO VIOLENT THAT I NEEDED TO PULL OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND SHUTDOWN THE CAR AND VISUALLY INSPECT FOR DAMAGE. THE SHAKING WAS SO VIOLENT, I THOUGHT SOMETHING MIGHT HAVE BROKEN, OR THE TIRES WERE ABOUT TO FALL OFF. THIS CAR HAS APPROX 16,000 MILES, AND NEVER HAD ANY DAMAGE. THIS IS THE 6TH TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED.IN THE PAST TWO YEARS AND IT ONLY HAPPENS ON TARMAC TYPE SURFACES, WHILE GOING 60-75 MPH.

IT HAS BEEN GOING ON SINCE PURCHASED WITH 12000 MILES AND REPLACED TWICE. AT 22000 MILES THE DEALER CANNOT KEEP IT FUNCTIONAL. I'M CONCERNED THAT THE LACK OF FUNCTIONAL SAFETY EQUIPMENT COULD LEAD TO INJURY OR DEATH. THIS ALSO LEADS TO LOSS OF VALUE IF THE MANUFACTURER CANNOT PROVIDE A SOLUTION.

WHILE DRIVING THE JEEP DOWN COUNTRY ROADS OR CITY HIGHWAYS THE STEERING IS ALL OVER THE PLACE. I'M CONSTANTLY CORRECTING THE STEERING TO TRY TO KEEP IT STRAIGHT DOWN THE ROAD, IT IS A WORKOUT JUST DRIVING ANYWHERE. IT IS VERY UNSAFE TO DRIVE ESPECIALLY ON NARROW COUNTRY ROADS WITH ONCOMING TRAFFIC WITH THE FEAR OF CRASHING INTO THEM! IF JEEP CANNOT FIX THIS ONGOING KNOWN PROBLEM VERY SOON THEN I WILL FOR SURE BE TRADING THIS DEATH TRAP OF A VEHICLE IN FOR SOMETHING MORE SAFE, RELIABLE, AND BUILT BETTER!
