| Description of the problem | I was driving down the highway at 70 mph when my truck went into what consumers are calling "the death wobble." the truck started shaking uncontrollably, making it hard to drive. It has continued to do it, and mechanics are having a difficult time finding out what is wrong. My wife and son were in the truck with me when it happened the first time, and i'm afraid for them to ride in the truck now because of it. I shouldn't have to fear driving my main source of transportation... Especially when it's not a bad vehicle. I'm noticing numerous complaints regarding this issue. |
