Consumer Description

AT SPEEDS ABOVE 45MPH THE VEHICLE VIOLENTLY WOBBLES AND RENDERS THE STEERING ALMOST UNCONTROLLABLE. THIS IS COMMONLY REFERRED TO AS THE "DEATH WOBBLE". I UNDERSTAND THIS PROBLEM HAS BEEN ADDRESSED WITH THIS "BUY BACK" PROGRAM BUT IT IS ONLY FOR 2008 AND NEWER MODEL YEARS. I'M NOT LOOKING TO HAVE MY VEHICLE BOUGHT BACK BUT I DO WANT THIS PROBLEM CORRECTED. I HAVE BEEN TO THE DEALER AS WELL AS NUMEROUS REPAIR SHOPS TO HAVE THIS CORRECTED AND AFTER THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS SPENT AND MULTIPLE PARTS REPLACED THE PROBLEM STILL PERSISTS .
