THE TRUCK HAS EXPERIENCED THE PHENONOMEN KNOWN AS THE DEATH WOBBLE. EXTREMELY VIOLENT SHAKING OF THE STEERING WHEEL AND FRONT SUSPENSION TO THE POINT THAT THE VEHICLE IS ALMOST OUT OF CONTROL. TODAY IT HAPPENED AT 70 MPH ON THE FREEWAY. IT HAS HAPPENED AS SLOW AS 40 MY IN THE PAST. I HAD TO PULL OVER VERY QUICKLY ON THE FREEWAY TODAY IN A VERY DANGEROUS SCENARIO WITH SEMI TRUCKS COMING UP BEHIND ME. TWICE I HAVE TAKEN IT TO MECHANICS THAT HAVE REPLACED THE TRACK BAR AND THE STEERING DAMPER. IT IS A RECURRING PROBLEM EVEN WHEN YOU TAKE PREVENTATIVE MEASURES. I AM AFRAID TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE. IT WAS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS TODAY.
