Component | STEERING |
Product type code | VEHICLE |
Description of the problem | At random times while traveling at highway speeds over 50mph and hitting a road bump or expansion joint in a bridge transition. The vehicle will start to violently and uncontrollably shake until speed is dropped to about 30 mph. I have taken it into the dealership and they changed the steering linkage dampener and sent me on my way. It subsequently happened again under the same circumstances as before i took it back to the dealership and they say nothing is wrong but it needs an alignment which i need to pay for. This is not a fix as the alignment out would be a constant issue and since they changed the part the alignment should be part of the process. They did not know about or follow tsb 18-2268. This is a huge safety issue and could cause injuries or even death due to accident when this happens. I am getting ptsd from dealing with this |
