| Description of the problem | Myself, spouse, and children were going to dinner and i'm on cruise at 50 and a violent vibration begins to occur. I have researched it and it is often referred to as the "death wobble" and it is bad. I would like to know why there has not been a recall issued by you on this. Is it going to take someone dying for you to issue one. Mine caused me to almost wreck head on and there would probably be kids without parents today if there would have been a wreck head on. Please consider issuing a recall on this and make the manufacturer's fix this problem. It's not like we can go out and trade it in or pay to have it fixed. Yes we have jobs, but we have responsibilities of being parents and paying bills to, and are becoming parents again early next year. This is a serious problem and should have to fixed by the company. |
