| Description of the problem | Experiencing "death wobble" when driving over manholes and/or storm sewer grates. Uncontrollable shaking in front suspension and steering. Vehicle taken to dealership for repairs on 03/05/2012. Has been at dealer for 25 days. Repair parts/labor currently at $1050+tax. Vehicle in worse condition than prior to having repairs. Has now also developed a "shimmy" in the steering that was not present when vehicle brought in to dealer. Vehicle will be retrieved on 03/31/2012 and taken to different auto repair shop. Problem not unique to my vehicle. Research of problem on internet has numerous similar complaints. Please help prior to vehicle causing accident and injuries/death to myself or others. Clearly a manufacturing default, ie. Poor design and no solution for correcting the problem. *js |
