| Description of the problem | Driving on the highway at approximately 65 miles per hour my front end began to shake and the steering became so erratic that i had to grip the steering wheel to keep the car from veering into another lane of traffic. I was able to slow the car down and pull over to the side of the road. Once i began again there was no vibration. This is the second time this has happened within two month. There are many cases of this happening on the internet. It's called the "death wobble" and i don't feel safe in the car anymore. The dealership has told me that its a worn sway bar but 25k miles shouldn't wear out this type of part. |
