| Description of the problem | At 12pm 11/14/2019, my truck began to shake violently at 70 mph after hitting a bump at a bridge junction. Scared me badly and i immediately decelerated and the violent shaking stopped at about 40 mph. I didn't know if i blew a tire, hit something, the engine was about to fall out of the truck or what! I did some research online and found that my truck had what is known as the "death wobble". Today the exact same death wobble issue occurred at the exact same place in the road. I have a call in to the dealership to determine how this can be repaired. My truck is only at 39k miles and was purchased brand new in jan 2018. |
