| Description of the problem | I was traveling on the interstate at approximately 70mph and hit expansion joint in bridge which caused the vehicle's steering wheel to violently shutter. Shutter did not stop until vehicle speed was reduced to under 25mph. My family was with me at the time. Needless to say a very scary situation, especially for my children, on a busy interstate. Through research, i have found an issue with these trucks called the "death wobble". The death wobble as its called is a result of a faulty track bar, and or the steering stabilizer shock. |
