Consumer Description

DEATH WOBBLE. I'VE ROTATED THE TIRES, I'VE HAD THE WHEELS BALANCED, I'VE HAD THE TIE-RODS REPLACED AND "UNPREDITABLE" DEATH WOBBLE CONTINUES. I WAS LITERALLY INCHES AWAY FROM BEING REAR ENDED AND CAUSING A MULTICAR WRECK TODAY ON THE 22 FREEWAY IN SANTA ANA, CA WHEN I HAD TO BRAKE ON THE FREEWAY TO STOP THE VIOLENT WOBBLE. THIS IS A MFG DEFECT THAT NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED (AND LIABILITY ASSUMED) BY THE MFG. *TR
