Consumer Description
WHILE DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE, AT 70 MPH (POSTED SPEED LIMIT) EXPERIENCED EXTREME VIBRATION/WOBBLE IN THE STEERING WHEEL AND TIRES AFTER DRIVEN OVER SLIGHT ROUGH PATCH ON THE HIGHWAY. IT WAS EXTREMELY HARD TO MAINTAIN CONTROL OF THE TRUCK TO GET IT TO THE SHOULDER OF THE HIGHWAY THROUGH TRAFFIC. VIBRATION WAS APPARENTLY VISIBLE TO ONLOOKERS, AS SEVERAL DRIVERS MOTIONED FOR ME TO PULL OVER. TRUCK WAS BOUGHT BRAND NEW, SIX MONTHS AGO, AND ONLY HAS 16K MILES. TRUCK IS STOCK, NO MODIFICATIONS HAVE BEEN DONE ON THE TRUCK. VIBRATION/WOBBLE OCCURRED SEVERAL MORE TIMES SO WE EXITED HIGHWAY AND RETURNED HOME VIA BACKROADS (POSTED SPEEDS OF 55 MPH OR LESS) WITHOUT FURTHER INCIDENT.
