Consumer Description

I HAVE NOW EXPERIENCED THE DEATH WOBBLE 6 TIMES WITH THIS TRUCK, ALL BETWEEN 65-80 MPH. THE LAST TWO ON 6/12/2020 AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. THIS MEANS MY TRUCK FRONT END SUSPENSION AND EYEING SHAKES SO VIOLENTLY THAT YOU LITERALLY CANNOT CONTROL THE VEHICLE UNTIL REDUCTIONS SPEED BELOW 30 MPH. MY TRUCK HAS ALREADY BEEN TAKEN INTO THE DEALERSHIP TWICE TO CORRECT THIS PROBLEM. TODAY WAS THE WORST SOO FAR. HAD TO REDUCE SPEED IN LA TRAFFIC TO 30 MPH FOR IT TO STOP. THIS PROBLEM IS GOING TO KILL SOMEONE VERY SOON. HAD I VEERED LEFT, IT WOULD BE HAVE PUT INTO THE CENTER DIVIDE, RIGHT INTO A SEMI. THIS STARTED WHEN MY VEHICLE HAS LESS THAN 10K MILES. TODAY THE VEHICLE HAS 26K. RECALL THESE VEHICLES! *TR
