What owners wrote
This happened on 76th st north, between whirlpool dr and lakewood ave. Owasso, ok. I was driving to work, at t 5:45 am, I smelled smoke, looked out my drivers side door and saw a orange glow. I opened the door and saw flames coming out from the engine. I stopped, got out and called 911.
Having problem with "death wobble". While traveling at a high rate of speed, over 40MPH. A violent shaking has occurred a multiple number of times. Feels as though the entire front end of vehicle is ready to fly off. Control of vehicle is compromised. Especially at such a high rate of speed, which usually occurs on the freeway with other vehicles around. Dealership says that the steering stabilizer needs to be replaced. Research on the internet says that this just masks the problem.
