I WAS GOING APPROX. 40 MPH WHEN I RAN OVER A SMALL BUMP IN THE ROAD AND THE ENTIRE TRUCK BEGAN TO SHAKE UNCONTROLLABLY AND I ALMOST LOST CONTROL. I APPLIED THE BRAKES AND ONLY WHEN I SLOWED TO APPROX. 10 MPH IT CEASED. I HAVE HAD IT IN THE GARAGE SINCE FEB. 3, 2014 AND HAVE SPENT WELL OVER $3000 AND IT STILL ISN'T FIXED. I HAVE HAD THE ENTIRE FRONT END REBUILT AND HAVE REPLACED ALL THE BUSHINGS IN THE REAR END. I WILL NEVER EVER BUY A JEEP AGAIN. I THINK IT WOULD BE NICE OF THEM TO REIMBURSE SOME OF THE MONEY I HAVE SPENT OVER THE LAST 3+ MONTHS. IF I HAD TO GET A RENTAL CAR, I WOULD BE IN THE POOR HOUSE. I DON'T KNOW WHAT ELSE TO REPLACE. *TR
