Consumer Description

HAVE EXPERIENCED 'DEATH WOBBLE' (EXTREME VIBRATION AND LOSS OF CONTROL) AFTER HITTING CHUCKHOLE AT HIGHWAY SPEED ON THREE OCCASIONS. THE THIRD TIME NEARLY CAUSED AN ACCIDENT. IN ALL THREE CASES, WAS DRIVING IN A STRAIGHT LINE AT ABOUT 65 MPH. MILEAGE IS 26400. THE DEALER IS REPLACING THE BALL JOINTS AND OTHER FRONT END PARTS. A SEARCH OF THE INTERNET SHOWS THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM ON THIS TRUCK.
