Consumer Description

WENT OVER A BUMP IN THE ROAD TODAY AT AROUND 60 MPH. MY STEERING WHEEL STARTED TO SHAKE UNCONTROLLABLY AND I HAD TO SLOW DOWN TO ABOUT 25 MPH TO GET IT TO STOP. MY TRUCK HAS ABOUT 24K MILES ON IT AND THIS IS THE FIRST TIME I HAVE EXPERIENCED ANYTHING LIKE THIS. UPON FURTHER RESEARCH IT APPEARS TO BE KNOWN AS THE 'DEATH WOBBLE' AND HUNDREDS OF SUPER DUTY OWNERS ARE EXPERIENCING. THIS IS SOMETHING THAT SHOULD BE INVESTIGATED BECAUSE THIS WILL CAUSE SOMEONE TO GET SERIOUSLY INJURED. I AM LUCKY TODAY NO ONE WAS BEHIND ME ON THE HIGHWAY SLOWING DOWN FROM 60 TO 25.
