Example complaints

“This car has what you call the death wobble. The original part has been replaced twice, making it a total of three same parts. It is a 2009 but only has 27000 miles on it. The incident always happened highway driving at about 60 to 65 miles an hour. Felt like a flat tire then settled down. Not sure of the part name replaced twice, but it is I believe in the steering mechanism. Of course both times replaced not under warranty. It is a major concern hence the name death wobble.”
