What owners wrote

Takata recall my vehicle was in motion traveling about 50 MPH when it lost control on a wet road. The car slid across the road, over a small ditch, and head on into a tree. The car bounced from the tree and swiped the drivers side with another tree and finally bouncing back towards the road. The road was slightly curved downhill in a small town. I attempted to use my brakes while out of control but they were ineffective. The weather conditions were thunderstorms on and off, raining in the area of the accident.

Jeep front end wobbles when hitting a bump at highway speeds. Aka death wobble. Must slow down immediately, loss of control.
