What owners wrote

I was driving approximately 56 miles per hour on a highway when I experienced a horrible wobble of the front end of the truck. I immediately stopped and took it to the nearest dealer who told me that they did not know what could have caused this. They replaced almost all components in the front end of the truck including the track bar, stabilizer, bearings, and all associated bushings. Several days later I was driving on a different road around 60 miles per hour and experienced the same issue.

Reported at 120,000 miles, October 2019 CrashInjury

Several different times while driving on the highway at highway speeds ranging from 55 to 65 MPH I have hit a small bump or uneven pavement which has caused my truck to go into an uncontrollable death wobble. It shakes so violently that I almost lose control and have to slow to almost a stop before it quits.
