 Description of the problemI purchased on september 14, 2018 that has what is called the "death wobble". It only occurs when driving over 60 miles an hour. It is caused by a faulty steering damper. I brought it in for the first time in december 4, 2018 when i could not gain control of the car and almost wrecked. It was the 6 time it had happened. The car was seized immediately, it was a safety issue. I was told to clean the car out and they couldn't tell me when i would have it returned. I also was having them check the brakes as they had been squeaking. I did not receive the car back until january 8 2019. At that time, i was told it was fine. The brakes continued to squeak and when it snowed, i found out the defroster was not in working order. I was told the defroster part was on back order (still not fixed and its april 1, 2019) and they grinded the pads or rotors due to a glaze on them. The brakes were soft and still squeaking. On february 20 they said they would order new brakes. March 1, brakes locked up and i almost wrecked. I pumped them and they worked after that. I immediately drove the car there and left it. The brakes were replaced, and i picked the car up on the march 7, 2019. March 16, 2019 i was going over the bridge at 65 miles an hour and the "death wobble" started again. I asked my husband to drive it and it did it to him as well at about 65 miles an hour as he went over a bump. We left town on sunday march 17 and did not return until the 22. On march 23, 2019 we brought the car in. The technician confirmed it was the steering wheel damper was faulty again. To this day i still do not have the car and have been told that they have a "new" part. This will be the 3rd time. Ddocuments, do not show every time i was in there nor what was really happening. It said my brakes were soft and didn't mention that they locked up and seized to work.
