Consumer Description

THE 'DEATH WOBBLE' UNCONTROLLABLE SHIMMYING OF THE STEERING WHEEL AFTER HITTING A BUMP IN THE ROAD ON MOSTLY HIGHWAYS AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS! I HAVE TAKEN IT TO MULTIPLE DEALERSHIPS AND THEY JUST KEEP TRYING TO BLAME MY TIRES. THEY TRIED ROTATING MY TIRES AND TELLING ME ITS GONNA FIX THE ISSUE BUT DOESN'T. THE TIRES ON THE TRUCK ARE GOODYEAR WRANGLER KEVLAR TIRES THAT CAME ON THE TRUCK FROM THE DEALERSHIP AND NOW HAVE ONLY 20,000 MILES AND ARE NOWHERE NEAR WORN OUT! IT HAS HAPPENED TO ME AT SLOWER SPEEDS (AROUND 45 MPH) IN THE CITY, BUT MOSTLY OCCURS AROUND 60-70MPH ON THE HIGHWAY.
