| Description of the problem | I was driving down the interstate at approximately 70mph and my truck went into a "death wobble". I slowed down to around 15 mph to make it stop. The following week, it did it again on the interstate at 75 mph. I was in heavy traffic, with my family, and i had to put on warning lights, and slow down to an unsafe speed on the interstate. Later that week, a colleague borrowed my truck and was traveling down a highway that needed repairs, and the "death wobble" happened around 15 times. At this time, i won't drive the truck anywhere over 40 mph due to fear of harming my family or someone else's family. When this "death wobble" happens, you lose complete ability to control the steering of the vehicle. You have to hold on tight and hope you can slow down safely. I refused to drive my vehicle anywhere over 40 mph. |
