Consumer Description

WHEN GOING OVER A BUMP IN THE ROAD AT APPROXIMATELY 50 MPH, UNCONTROLLED SUSPENSION OSCILLATION, OR "DEATH WOBBLE," OCCURS. ONCE IT BEGINS, NEARLY ALL STEERING CONTROL IS LOST. THE ONLY THING THAT CAN BE DONE AT THE TIME IS TO RAPIDLY DECELERATE TO AROUND 30 MPH. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS FOR DRIVERS OF THESE VEHICLES AND ANYONE NEAR BY. I HAVE SPENT THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS REPLACING FACTORY PARTS WITH HIGH END AFTERMARKET UPGRADES AND IT ALWAYS COMES BACK. *JS
