Death wobble- several times when traveling at speeds of 65mph or higher, the front of the vehicle begins to shutter and shake violently until the vehicle is slowed down to below 40 mph. Ball joints, steering damper, shocks, and tires have all been replaced however, the vehicle continues to perform dangerously at highway speeds. Suspension · reported at 51,000 miles
Several times now, when driving at speeds above 55, when I hit a very small bump in the road the truck starts shaking violently. It is to the point that, you can not control it until you stop. The problem does not happen every time driven, but it does occasionally. It feels completely unsafe to drive on the highway. Suspension · reported at 80,100 miles
