Complaint Summary
STEERING
Owner Narrative
Experiencing horrible death wobble. If I hit a road expansion joint, pot hole, etc. in a certain manner at typical highway speeds typically 55 to 70, the front end starts shaking horribly. The only way to regain control is by firmly pressing the breaks to immediately reduce the speed. This started when the vehicle had 26,000 miles on it and the dealer replaced the ball joints under warranty. This vehicle is only driven on the road. That fixed the problem until the vehicle reached around 50,000 miles now. It is dangerous either from the loss of control or having to slam on the breaks to regain control.
