Consumer Description

WHILE DRIVING AT SPEEDS OF 60 MPH AND ABOVE, WHEN BRAKING OR HITTING A BUMP IN THE ROAD THE WHEELS WOBBLE, STEERING IS UNCONTROLLABLE AND YOU CANNOT ACCELERATE OR STOP COMPLETELY UNTIL THE WOBBLING SUBSIDES. I WAS PASSING A SEMI TRUCK WHEN A SLOWER VEHICLE PULLED IN FRONT OF ME, I GENTLY BRAKED TO SLOW DOWN AND THE WOBBLING WAS SO BAD I COULD NOT STEER, BRAKE FURTHER OR ACCELERATE TO STOP THE WOBBLING OR MOVE OUT OF THE WAY OF CARS BEHIND ME. I ENDED UP IN THE MEDIAN SINCE I COULD NOT FOLLOW THE CURVE OF THE ROAD AND WAS LUCKY TO NOT BE HIT BY OTHER CARS OR THE SEMI-TRUCK.
