Driving at a speed over 55 mph and hitting a bump or pot hole my truck starts to shake and my steering wheel shakes back and forth very fast and uncontrollable until I slow down below 35 mph. I have heard this called the death wobble and I see how it got its name, if a solution isn't found soon one of these times I may not be able to slow down safely and kill some one in an accident or myself.

Have received two recalls. Went to ashland Virginia dealer at least seven months ago and verified my truck needed to get repaired. The service desk put my information in the computer and said I would be notified when parts available. I have been back several times and they still haven't gotten the parts.

We have received 3 recall notices about the left tie rod ball fracturing on our truck. We have had it inspected by the dealer and it is one of the vehicles affected. We have been told repeatedly that we are on the waiting list but we are 9 months out from the recall and still have no time frame of repair. We use our truck frequently as our daughter competes in high school rodeo. We have several long trips coming up and are a bit concerned for our safety on the road. We would greatly appreciate any help in getting our vehicle repaired asap.
