Consumer Description

I NOTICED THE STEERING WAS GETTING SLOPPY AT ABOUT 35,000 MILES WHEN DRIVING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS ON UNEVEN ROAD SURFACES AND GOING OVER BRIDGE JOINTS. TWO NIGHTS AGO I WAS DRIVING AT 57MPH WHEN I CAME OFF A BRIDGE AND THE TRUCK BEGAN TO SHAKE VIOLENTLY CAUSING ME TO SLOW DOWN QUICKLY AND PULL TO THE ROAD SHOULDER TO AVOID BEING REAR ENDED. AT ABOUT 30MPH THE SHAKING SUBSIDED. RESEARCHING THE ISSUE ON LINE HAS LED ME TO BELIEVE I HAVE A TRUCK INFLICTED WITH 'DEATH WOBBLE'. IT WILL BE GOING TO THE DEALERSHIP TOMORROW.
