Description of the problem | 2 events-2 weeks apart i believe it is referred to as the death wobble. In both events, i hit a bump on the interstate at 70 miles an hour. The steering wheel started to shake violently and i could not steer the vehicle. All i could do was hit the brakes. At about 30 mph the shaking stopped and i could pull over to the side of the highway to look at the tire. I thought a tire had come off the truck. Truck has 38000 miles and is now out of warranty. Now faced with an expensive repair and to be honest i am now a little scared to drive the truck at freeway speeds. Definitely never going to pull my fifth wheel trailer again with this truck. Thanks for listening. |
