loss of steering control hitting bumps in road
We almost lost control and crashed in the last incident, but this has been a problem since we bought this vehicle last winter. After replacing the tires, the problem only grew worse. When hitting a bump, even the smallest bump, the steering wheels pulls out of the driver's hands and there is a momentary loss of control. This happens at speeds as low as 25mph and it has nearly caused several accidents within the past 9 months. I see a recall of the Aspen years 2007 and 2009 for this problem, but the 2008 was excluded. Why would they exclude this year if it has the same problem?

I've had problems with steering and front end alignment. I replaced a ball joint upper and lower rocker arm had it running aligned about five times, now to get a new set of tires. It's still bad on the highway when I hit potholes or significant bumps on the road.
