Consumer Description

HAD BEEN NOTICING A SHIMMY IN THE FRONT SUSPENSION AREA. THE STEERING WHEEL WOULD HAVE A VERY SLIGHT VIBRATION AFTER HITTING BUMPS IN THE ROAD WHEN DRIVING 35MPH OR GREATER. THIS ISSUE HAS CONTINUED FOR MONTHS WITH SEVERAL VISIT TO DEALERSHIP WHO HAS BEEN UNABLE TO PROPERLY IDENTIFY THE PROBLEM. THE PROBLEM HAS NOW BECOME A "DEATH WOBBLE" THAT WILL SHAKE STEERING WHEEL VIOLENTLY AND ALMOST SHAKE THE ENTIRE TRUCK OFF THE ROAD, THERE HAVE BEEN SEVERAL MORE ATTEMPT TO ADDRESS THE ISSUE WITH NO RESOLVE. TRUCK IS UNABLE TO KEEP ALIGNMENT, CAMBER AND CASTER IS CONTINUALLY OFF/OUT OF LINE, AND HAS WORN TIRES UNEVENLY. HAVE ALSO BEEN EXPERIENCING INTERMITTENT ELECTRICAL ISSUES WITH DASH LIGHTS FLICKERING, RADIO LIGHTS TURNING OFF, ELECTRIC WINDOWS NOT ROLLING UP OR DOWN PROPERLY AND REVERSE LIGHTS NOT TURNING ON WHEN ENGAGED. *TR
