Consumer Description
THE TRUCK HAS DEVELOPED A WOBBLE IF THE STEERING WHEEL WHEN DRIVING. IT STARTED OUT ONLY AFTER A TIGHT TURN TO EITHER RIGHT OR LEFT, BUT NOW THE TRUCK WILL EXPERIENCE THE WOBBLE WHEN GOING STRAIGHT. THIS WILL OCCUR AFTER ENCOUNTERING BUMPS, CRACKS OR OTHER ROAD IMPERFECTIONS. IT IS VERY DIFFICULT TO CONTROL THE VEHICLE WHEN IT IS EXPERIENCING THIS CONDITION. THE WOBBLE IS WORSE AT SPEEDS OVER 20 MPH, BUT CAN STILL BE DETECTED AT LESSER SPEEDS THROUGH THE STEERING WHEEL. AT SPEED HIGHER THAN 20 MPH, THE TRUCK IS EXTREMELY DIFFICULT TO CONTROL. AS OF NOW, THE WOBBLE IS INTERMITTENT - BUT THE CONDITION IS WORSENING. THE WOBBLE STARTED AS A PULLING FEEL TO THE RIGHT OR LEFT - AS IF THE TRUCK WANTED TO PULL ONE WAY OR THE OTHER. IT WAS DIFFICULT TO COMPREHEND WHAT WAS GOING ON AT FIRST, BUT NOW THE STEERING WHEEL IS STARTING TO SHAKE RIGHT TO LEFT (OR VICE VESRA) AT A MUCH MORE PRONOUNCED MOVEMENT. THE OSCILLATION OF THE STEERING WHEEL IS BECOMING MORE PRONOUNCED AS THE SITUATION GROWS WORSE. THIS HAS BEEN WORSENING OVER THE PAST 2 WEEKS.
