| Description of the problem | Between speeds of 40-65mph truck will go into "death wobble" after hitting a pothole, rough spot in road, or dips ( ex. Over passes, bridges). Truck will shake violently to the left and right almost causing a wreck. Once this happens i have to let off gas apply brake slowly till truck stops the shaking. Traffic behind me has to brake, almost causing accidents, not to mention how hard it is to control the truck when this happens. I have almost had a wreck every time this had occurred. First started when i bought the truck in feb. 2010 with 52,500 miles. Still happens to this day after replacing front end parts, truck now has 68k miles. I've researched online and this seems to be an issue lots of people are having, not to mention it is ongoing. |
