| Description of the problem | Traveling on the highway at approximately 60 mph when without any warning the front wheels began to wobble uncontrollably. I could not get the vehicle under control until i slowed down to around 20 miles an hour. Once the vehicle was under control i was able to cautiously accelerate back to speed and did not experience any further trouble. The initial problem started in heavy traffic and i was afraid of being rear ended because of my quick deceleration to bring the vehicle under control. This is the second time that i have experienced this problem both times at about 60 mph and straight and level roadways. Both times the extreme wobbling was sudden and unexpected. |
