 Description of the problemThe first occurrence happened in a construction area. I spoke with the service rep from the dealership, and they stated that the steering damper needed to be replaced, to the tune of $275 not including labor. I did not get the work done because something didn't seem right, based on the service reps "it isn't a big deal" statement. I had my tire balance checked, and during a 1400 mile drive, never had another occurrence. I asked if anyone else complained about "death wobble" (a term picked up when i explained the problem to a group of 4x4 enthusiasts), to which i received a negative response. It was at fire stone that was informed of tsb's on the steering. Just recently, the vibration in the steering has become noticeable during low speeds and rougher roads. At approx. 60 mph, i experience "death wobble". The front end and steering shake violently until i can pull the vehicle off the roadway. This happens at 60 mph, usually accelerating up hill, around corners and occasionally on straightaway that have a lot of expansion joints. 60 mph seems to be the magic number. Last week (approx jan 28th) i was traveling over the local expansion bridge. I felt slight vibration in the steering, backed off the accelerator and signaled to move onto the exit ramp to i-26. The death wobble kicked in, almost throwing me into two vehicles. I managed to slow the vehicle and avoid running off the roadway.
