Typical steering symptoms owners report

  • Owners describe a violent 'death wobble' where the steering wheel and front end shake uncontrollably after hitting a bump at highway speeds, often requiring the driver to slow to well below highway speed to regain control.
  • Several drivers report the wobble recurs even after replacing shocks, track bars, steering stabilizers, tires, and getting alignments done.
  • Some owners say the steering wheel locks up or fails to return to center when turning, feeling like a flat tire and requiring extra force to correct.
  • One driver reported the wobble occurred while towing a trailer, both loaded and unloaded, triggered by hitting a bump on the driver-side tire.
  • One complaint noted the wobble led to a loss of control and a crash after hitting a bump while towing on the highway.
