Complaint Summary

STEERING

Owner Narrative

TRUCK EXPERIENCES THE "DEATH WOBBLE". IT HAS HAD THE FRONT END REDONE TWICE, STILL HAS THE PROBLEM. WHEN I'M DRIVING ABOVE 50MPH, AND HIT A BUMP, SOMETIMES THE FRONT END AND STEERING WHEEL BEGIN TO VIOLENTLY SHAKE AND WOBBLE. WHEN IT OCCURS, IT IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS, AND VERY DIFFICULT TO STOP. IT HAPPENED 4 TIMES ON A SINGLE TRIP.
