| Component | STEERING |
| Product type code | VEHICLE |
| Description of the problem | While driving at speeds of 60 mph and above, when braking or hitting a bump in the road the wheels wobble, steering is uncontrollable and you cannot accelerate or stop completely until the wobbling subsides. I was passing a semi truck when a slower vehicle pulled in front of me, i gently braked to slow down and the wobbling was so bad i could not steer, brake further or accelerate to stop the wobbling or move out of the way of cars behind me. I ended up in the median since i could not follow the curve of the road and was lucky to not be hit by other cars or the semi-truck. |
