 Description of the problemI just bought the truck a week prior to the first time this happened. I hit a small bump in the road going about 55 mph. When i hit the bump the whole truck and the steering wheel began to violently shake. I could not control the truck. It felt like the front end of the truck had broken and was coming apart. I hit the breaks and it finally stopped shaking when i got down to about 30 mph. I pulled over and got out and looked around the truck, and i found nothing wrong with it so i slowly drove it back home. Had it looked at the next morning and was told since it had only done it once that i shouldn't worry about it. It has been about 3 weeks since the first time it happened, and it has done it 5 times now. I took it to the dealership where i bought it and let them look at it, and they said they could find nothing wrong that everything looked like it was supposed to. 2 of the 5 times it has happened on the interstate while i was going about 65-70 mph and had to slam on my breaks in traffic to slow it down to try to get it to stop before i lost control of the truck, almost causing the driver behind me to hit me. I have done alot of research on the issue and found that lots of people are having this same issue with the same trucks and they are calling it a "death wobble", yet nothing has been done about it? I am scared to drive my truck on the interstate now because im afraid that has the potential to cause serious damage to my vehicle and others on the road if i lose control of the truck when it starts the violent shaking. This is a very dangerous problem, and i feel like there should be something done about it asap.
