Consumer Description

THIS VEHICLE ON NORMAL ROADS, INTERSTATE OR BACKROADS, WILL GO INTO WHAT I WOULD CALL A DEATH WOBBLE. THIS "WOBBLE" IS VERY VIOLENT, AND IT USUALLY OCCURS AT 50MPH OR GREATER. AT THIS SPEED THE VEHICLE BECOMES BARELY GUIDEABLE TO THE POINT THAT IT IS VERY DANGEROUS. THE ONLY WAY TO MAKE THE VEHICLE STOP THE EVENT IS TO SLOW DOWN. MY EXPERIENCE HAS BEEN THAT IT WILL CONTINUE DOWN TO SPEEDS OF 35-40 BEFORE IT GOES AWAY. I STRONGLY FEEL AS THOUGH THIS EVENT, IF IT WERE TO HAPPEN AT THE WRONG TIME WILL COST A LIFE. IT DOES NOT TAKE A HUGE POT HOLE TO SET IT OFF, IT IS TYPICALLY A SMALLER IRREGULAR BUMP THAT WILL GET IT GOING. UNDER WARRANTY I HAVE HAD THE STEERING DAMPER REPLACED AS WELL AS BOTH FRONT SHOCKS AND NOTHING SO FAR HAS TOUCHED THE ISSUE.
