I AM EXPERIENCING SHAKING IN MY STEERING (JEEP PATRIOT 2007) I WAS TOLD THAT I NEEDED TO REPLACE MY CONTROL ARM. I DID SOME RESEARCH AND FOUND THAT THIS SEEMS TO BE A PROBLEM THAT JEEP NEEDS TO ADDRESS.I HAVE HAD NUMEROUS ALIGNMENTS AND TIRE REPLACEMENTS AND THAT DOESN'T SEEM TO HELP NOW I AM GREATLY CONCERNED ABOUT MY SAFETY.

WHENEVER THE VEHICLE IS PARKED WITH THE FRONT END AT EVEN A SLIGHT INCLINE IT WILL NOT START. THIS OCCURS WHETHER OR NOT THE GAS TANK IS FULL AND IT'S ANNOYING. I HAVE TO SHAKE THE CAR IN ORDER TO GET GAS TO THE FUEL PUMP AND GET IT TO START. THIS HAS HAPPENED SINCE THE CAR WAS A WEEK OLD AND CONTINUES TO OCCUR. *TR
