Consumer Description
"DEATH WOBBLY" THE 1ST TIME THIS HAPPENED I WAS ON THE INTERSTATE TRAVELING 70MPH WHEN THE STEERING WHEEL STARTED VIOLENTLY SHAKING. I PULLED OVER ON THE SHOULDER OF THE INTERSTATE THINKING MY TIRES HAD BLOWN OUT. I WALKED AROUND MY TRUCK EVERYTHING LOOKS FINE SO I'M ON MY WAY. IT DOES IT AGAIN A FEW WEEKS LATER I HAD TO SLOW DOWN TO 30MPH ON THE INTERSTATE BEFORE IT WOULD STOP AT THIS TIME I HAVE TALK AROUND AND NEW WHAT WAS HAPPENING. THE SERVICE GUY AT THE DEALERSHIP TOLD ME TO PUT NEW TIRES ON THE TRUCK THAT SHOULD FIX IT. MY TIRES WERE PRACTICALLY NEW SO I WASN'T REPLACING THEM SO HE SUGGESTED ROAD FORCE BALANCE. AFTER DOING MORE RESEARCH LOOKS LIKE THIS HAS BEEN A PROBLEM FOR A LONG TIME. I REALLY HOPE THERE IS A RECALL TO FIX THIS PROBLEM BEFORE SOMEONE IS KILLED. I BOUGHT THE TRUCK USED WITH 59000 MILES ON IT AT THE PRICE OF 40K. I WOULD PROBABLY WENT WITH A DIFFERENT TRUCK HAD I KNOWN ABOUT THESE ISSUES.
