Coming down the freeway in nevada, it began to feel like we ran over something in the road over and over. There was a shaking in the steering/wheels so felt like it keep hitting bumps in the road. It progressively got worse. We finally realized that it may be the traction control system. When it was turned off, it began to correct. But it turned itself back on by itself.
