| Description of the problem | I hit a rough patch of road at 55 mph on a 2 lane and the steering wheel was jerked out of my hands and the truck violently started shaking and bouncing veering into oncoming traffic pulling left towards a semi. I hit the brakes and turned the wheel to the right as hard as i could only turning right slightly enough to miss the truck. I pulled over and inspected the wheels and everything looked fine. I drove away cautiously and you couldn't tell anything ever happened. Called dealer he said oh yea death wobble. Nice to know they already know about it. An older or weaker person would be dead along with on coming driver/passengers. Scared to drive my $70k truck!! |
