| Product type code | VEHICLE |
| Description of the problem | At 65 mph when encountering rough expansion joints, potholes, or other bumps the truck will go into what is commonly called death wobble. The front end shakes very violently back and forth. Steering is impossible, it will wrench the steering wheel out of my hands. I had to slow down to 35 mph to make it stop. I was passing someone and couldn't complete the pass. If the road had been curved at all i would have gone into a very steep ditch. |
