Consumer Description

WHEN TOWING WITH RV THE FRONT WHEELS START A SEVERE WOBBLE WHICH SHAKES THE REAR OF THE RV. THIS HAS OCCURRED SEVERAL TIMES; SEVERAL AT HWY SPEED AFTER GOING OVER A BUMP IN THE HWY. THE ONLY WAY TO STOP THE WOBBLE IS TO STOP THE VEHICLE; THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS WHEN IN TRAFFIC AT HWY SPEED. I HAD INITIALLY THOUGHT IT WAS THE NEW BLUE OX TOW BAR BUT I CHECKED THAT WITH THE MANUFACTURER; THEY INDICATED THE PROBLEM WAS A GM PROBLEM WITH THE ELECTRIC ASSIST STEERING. THIS HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES IN THE PAST 4 MONTHS AND AT VARIOUS SPEEDS FROM 10 MPH TO 50 MPH. FIRST INCIDENT WAS IN SEPTEMBER, 2016
