What owners wrote
Tl*the contact owns a 1996 jeep cherokee. While driving approximately 45 MPH around a curve, the contact heard a popping sound from the front passenger side of the vehicle. He experienced difficulty maneuvering the steering wheel while making a right turn. In addition, the tire separated from the rim. Suddenly, the vehicle swayed off the road and flipped over. The contact was severely injured. The ambulance and police department were called to the scene and a police report was filed.
When driving, if vehicle exceeded over the speed of 50 MPH and I ran into the littlest bump in the road the truck will be shaking, none stop until I slow down below 25 MPH or it will keep shaking badly. ***dimsii ivoq entry posted after 12/12/02 cut-over to artemis****769316.
