Stop vehicle checked tire and bushings all was good drove home fine. Next day samething at 45mph and different road. Very dangerous and jeep should repair, however no one knows the exact problem.
2008 Jeep Wrangler 4-DR 4x2 steering complaints
Page 2 of 2: complaints 11 to 13 of 13, newest first, as owners wrote them.
Driving around 40 - 50 MPH, hit a slight bump and vehicle begins shaking violently. Steering wheel shakes, entire jeep feels out of control. You must come almost to a complete stop before the shaking subsides. This happens every time you hit a slight bump going 40+MPH. Dealer said it was an alignment problem and "fixed it". It is back at the dealership. We were on a 6 lane freeway today when it happened again. We got it stopped once and within a minute, it happened again. Had an 18 wheeler been behind us at the time we would probably have been hit. As it was, a private vehicle had to swerve around us. This is extremely dangerous and shouldn't be occurring in a 2008 jeep with 24,000 miles and no modifications.
At random times when I'm driving faster than 40 MPH, my steering wheel shakes violently when I hit even the smallest of bumps. The only way to make it stop is to slow it down to a crawl. Probably happens 2-3 times per week.
