| Description of the problem | Only 16,000 miles on this truck. In the last week there have been 4 incidents. While traveling on the highway at speeds 60-75mph i experienced a severe shaking after hitting a slight defect in the road. The last time this happened(tonight), the shaking was so violent that my tires started to screech as the truck shifted violently left to right. I was nearly rear ended by a tractor trailer because i had to slam on the brakes and slow down so the shaking would stop. I often have my 2 year old daughter in the truck with me and i am so fortunate she wasnt with me tonight. This is a well known problem with these trucks called "the death wobble." people with these same exact problems can be found all over the web. This is a major design flaw and safety concern. Not to mention after shaking so violently this has to put tremendous strain on other components of the truck causing premature wear. Something needs to be done before someone looses their life, if no one has already. |
