| Description of the problem | We were driving down the highway doing roughly 70-75 mph and hit a small bump in the road (almost like a double groove in the pavement). Immediately after we hit the bump, the entire truck began to shake violently almost to the point that it felt as if it was "floating" on the road. The first time it happened we thought we had blown a tire, so we reduced our speed and moved to the shoulder of the road. As it turns out, we had not; we checked the vehicle to see if any of the sensors indicated that anything was wrong. It appeared as if everything was okay so we went back to driving to work. The next day, the very same thing occurred and again, we pulled over. This time, we didn't get out to check the tires but we did run through our sensors but again, everything appeared fine. So, we slowly returned to driving. As soon as we got to work we immediately called the dealership and had them pick the truck up within the next couple of hours. As of right now, the truck is at the dealership. With what little research we have done, it appears that our truck has what is being called the "death wobble". |
