What owners wrote
Yesterday, 11/30/18. I have had the "death rattle" a couple of time since I've had this truck, I've always been able to pull off to the side of the road safely. On 11/30 I was traveling on a road in wyoming. It was snowing, and I was going between 40-45MPH in a 60MPH zone due to adverse road conditions. I suddenly got the "death rattle" which immediately sent my truck into a uncontrolled slide.
At speeds typically over 50 MPH vehicle, vehicle has a propensity to begin shaking violently, and uncontrollably. After doing some research this appears to be a common problem known among owners as "death wobble". The vehicle has been to my local dealership to for repairs and parts replacement but the problem remains unsolved. I no longer feel safe operating this vehicle.
