“When I hit a bump at highway speeds and the steering wheel is at a slight angle the vehicle starts shaking violently and is hard to control. Goes away after slowing down but nearly hit the vehicle next to me. Took it to a mechanic and he said this is a common problem and there's really no permanent fix to it. He replaced my steering damper but still does it.”
