Consumer Description

DEATH WOBBLE AT SPEEDS STARTING ANYWHERE FROM 40 MPH UP. VERY DIFFICULT TO CONTROL ESPECIALLY WHEN YOU ARE ON A HIGHWAY OR OVERPASS AND THERE'S NOWHERE TO SLOW DOWN OR TRY TO STEER TO. EXTREMELY SCARY. HAVE HAD THE PROBLEM 'TRY' TO BE FIXED GREATER THAN 5 TIMES. THE LAST FIX WAS ABOUT 4 MONTHS AGO AND HAS LASTED SO FAR BUT I'M STARTING TO FEEL VIBRATION AGAIN. THE FIXES AREN'T CHEAP EITHER. ALWAYS GREATER THAN $1000 WITH PARTS AND LABOR. I LOVE MY TRUCK BUT THIS IS GETTING OUT OF HAND.
