Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“I am experiencing the 'death wobble' when I hit a bump in the road. Front of vehicle wobbles and shakes dangerously and only stops when I slow down. Happens when driving the vehicle on any street or highway. I read information about steering or tie rods/stabilization being ineffective on 1999-2008 model trucks. Can this be repaired/fixed and will the cost be covered by the manufacturer?”

I went to local tire store to get a new one installed. They did not have any so I was on my way home. Its about 8 miles each way to this store from my home. On the way home,this tire blew up like it had a bomb in it! …”

I have had ball joints, tie rods, shocks and steering stabilizer replaced, plus new tires and multiple alignments performed. My master mechanic said non of this will remedy the issue.
