Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“Truck would violently shake going over bumps and will occasionally throw you off the road when going over bumpy roads on freeway. Especially if it's a slight curb. Dealership has already changed steering stabilizer. It happened right after the repair and I almost lost control on the high. Possibly injuring or killing my passengers.”
NHTSA complaint #11320367, filed 2020-04, 15,141 miles“On sept 4,2020 with mileage at 20980 and again on sept 3, 2020 at 21560 at around 65 to 70 MPH the front end wobbled for 6 to 8 seconds in a uncontrolled manor. This made control very difficult and dangerous. I checked the air pressure which was at the recommend level. Both times I was traveling on well maintained state hwy. I find this unacceptable and highly dangerous. This was on a straight road.”
NHTSA complaint #11362782, filed 2020-10, 21,560 miles“Truck has a re-ococcuring death shake / wobble that happens when you hit bumps at highway speed (60 MPH plus). Only way to regain control is to abruptly decelerate the vehicle to around 20 MPH. Has now happened multiple times and it's getting woemaw. It's to a point where I no longer allow my wife and kids to be in the vehicle. These trucks should not be on the road as it's a known issue.”
NHTSA complaint #11287879, filed 2019-12, 23,000 miles“Sustained steering wheel oscillation (aka death wobble) while driving down the highway at approximately 65 MPH. I drove over a rough bridge expansion joint and the steering wheel started to violently shake back and forth until I slowed to approximately 25mph and the oscillations ceased.”
NHTSA complaint #11297942, filed 2020-01, 17,653 miles“At 80 MPH a small bump in the road sent my truck into a death wobble which violently shook my truck and steering wheel. I had to slow my truck down to 35mph before the shaking stopped. It was very dangerous on the highway to have to slow down this much”
