What owners wrote
Driving at 65 MPH the truck began to wobble uncontrollably. I was unable to control steering and was taken left across two lanes of traffic into the median on a highway. The truck wobbles and shakes so bad I was unable to reduce speed very quickly.
While driving on the interstate, at 70 MPH (posted speed limit) experienced extreme vibration/wobble in the steering wheel and tires after driven over slight rough patch on the highway. It was extremely hard to maintain control of the truck to get it to the shoulder of the highway through traffic. Vibration was apparently visible to onlookers, as several drivers motioned for me to pull over. Truck was bought brand new, six months ago, and only has 16k miles.
