Consumer Description

Issue Death Wobble - Traveling at highway speed of 75 MPG hit a transition between roadway and bridge causing the steering wheel to violently shack left to right. Had to slow down to 45 MPH before it to stop. Hit next transition and issue repeated. Called and setup an appointment at the dealership to inspect, as vehicle only has 13,008 miles. Stock vehicle no modifications made to it. Dealership inspected and is replacing the steering damper (Steering stabilizer) as the source of the issue. Apparently known was an issue by the manufacture, according to the dealership. No warning of symptoms prior to failure. This issue puts the occupants in potential risk of injury or death. If loss of control of vehicle occurs and the vehicle crashes or rolls. Fortunately I was able to safely slow down and the issue stopped without incident.
