Consumer Description

"DEATH WOBBLE", THIS HAS BEEN DOCUMENTED IN MANY PLACES ON LINE AS A PROBLEM WITH THIS TRUCK. WHEN TRAVELING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS HITTING ANY POTHOLE WILL LIFT THE TRUCK OFF OF THE ROAD AND MOVE OUT OF THE LANE. ALSO WHEN TRAVELING ON CEMENT HIGHWAYS THAT HAVE BEEN CUT FOR EXPANSION JOINTS THE TRUCK BOUNCES UP AND DOWN ENOUGH TO SHAKE THE DRIVER AND PASSENGERS VIOLENTLY. CAUSING DRIVERS LOSS OF CONCENTRATION AND CONTROL. THIS REALLY NEEDS TO BE FIXED THROUGH BETTER ENGINEERING. I HAVE ALSO NOTICED THAT WHILE AT HIGHWAY SPEED WHEN TAKING A LONG CURVE THE TRUCK BEGINS TO JUMP AND WOBBLE AS IF IT WILL COME OFF OF THE ROAD AND LOOSE TRACTION WITH THE HIGHWAY SURFACE. THIS HAS BEEN A PROBLEM SINCE THE TRUCK WAS PURCHASED AND HAPPENS EVERYDAY IT IS DRIVEN. SO THE DATE GIVEN BELOW DOES NOT MATTER.
