What owners wrote
Was driving on interstate. Going about 60 MPH steering wheel locked up and began to shake aggressively. Had no control of vehicle. Had to apply brakes and get it down to 40 MPH before steering will unlock. Vehicle now in jeep dealership with no resolution. In addition I've had shooting pain don back from aggressive shaking.
When traveling above 70MPH and hitting a rough place on the road the steering shakes violently including the dash until you slow down to 40MPH. This has happened 6+ times now with the local deal ship not knowing how to fix. We were almost rear ended because of this. And thank goodness their wasn't an abandoned vehicle on the shoulder. We have a video of this happening
