Consumer Description
WHILE DRIVING ABOUT 50MPH AND THEN BEGIN TO SLOW DOWN ON A MAJOR HIGHWAY. THE STEERING WHEEL BEGINS TO WOBBLE BACK AND FORTH VIOLENTLY AND THE WHOLE VEHICLE SHAKES LIKE CRAZY, AND THE MUFFLER SPUTTERS LIKE IT IS ABOUT TO SHUT OFF. I HAVE HAD TO FORCEFULLY STEER TO THE SHOULDER OF THE ROAD AND MY VEHICLE CONTINUES TO SHAKE, THE ONLY WAY TO GET IT TO STOP IS TO TURN IT OFF AND RESTART IT. THIS ALSO HAPPENED WHEN MY VEHICLE WAS SITTING IN MY GARAGE AND I TURNED IT ON TO WARM IT UP, IT STARTS TO SHAKE AND SPUTTER AFTER ABOUT 30 SECONDS OF BEING TURNED ON. I'VE HEARD IT CALLED THE "DEATH WOBBLE" AND I UNDERSTAND WHY. THIS HAS HAPPENED NUMEROUS TIMES OVER THE LAST 4 MONTHS. THE CONDITION SEEMS VERY DANGEROUS TO ME. *TR
