Consumer Description

I WAS CRUISING DOWN A 4 LANE HIGHWAY AT APPROXIMATELY 75 MPH AND HIT A MINOR BUMP IN THE ROAD. THE VEHICLE STARTED SHAKING VIOLENTLY (FELT LIKE A VERTICAL MOTION AND NOT SIDE TO SIDE) I HAD TO APPLY THE BRAKES AND QUICKLY REDUCE SPEED TO KEEP FROM LOSING CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE. UPON SOME RESEARCH WITH SIMILAR COMPLAINTS I WOULD BEST DESCRIBE MY EXPERIENCE AS ONE ASSOCIATED WITH THE "DEATH WOBBLE". THIS ISSUE HAS OCCURRED MORE THAN ONCE WHILE DRIVING AT SPEEDS AROUND 75 MPH. THE SHAKING WAS VIOLENT ENOUGH THAT IT SHOOK EVERYTHING OFF OF THE SEATS BEFORE I WAS ABLE TO STOP. THE SOURCE OF THE SHAKING I BELIEVE HAS TO DO WITH THE FRONT AXLE. I THOUGHT IT MAY BE A FAULTY TIRE OR UNBALANCED TIRE SO I HAD ALL OF THE TIRES INSPECTED, ROTATED, AND BALANCED. THERE WERE NO ISSUES FOUND WITH THE TIRES.
