Consumer Description

1st incident happened in May 2020, traveling down a major highway at about 60 mph, hit a bump in the road and the truck went into what is known as the "death wobble" and I had absolutely no control of the steering. I then had to slow down to under 10 mph while still in the lane of traffic, to get the truck under control. I immediately call a mechanic shop and had the truck inspected. I took it to another shop that does suspension and front end alignments and had it looked at. 2nd incident happened today, Sept 28, 2021. Same thing traveling down a major interstate at approximately 70 mph, hit a bump in the road, and again the truck went into the "death wobble". I had no control over the steering and had to come to a complete stop to get the truck under control. This time I was almost rear-ended by vehicles behind me. This is extremely troubling, scary, and a very serious safety issue. Luckily I was not towing anything when these two incidents happened. If this issue is not addressed and a recall made on these vehicles someone is going to be killed!
