Steering
Filed Sep 4, 2022PA

At approximately 40 to 45 mph experianced violent shaking of the steering wheel/ wheel wobble. It nearly pulled the steering wheel from my hands and caused extreme shaking of the entire vehicle. The shaking stopped as I immediately reduced speed. On down the road I increased speed again to 40 to 45 mph wirh the violent shaking / wobble reoccurring. Returned to Camping World of Pittsburgh who jacked up front end but found nothing out of order. Traveling home the violent shaking / wobble in the front end occurred twice more. Once at auch lower speed around 30mph. It was extremely difficult to maintain control and steer the vehicle during these episodes. I have been driving for 60years and hold a CDL with all endorsements and have drivin tractor Traylors cross country and have never experianced anything like this.

Reading this record

No unusual pattern of severe incidents in the complaint record.

Complaint counts track how many cars were sold and how long they have been on the road as much as they track quality. A common model from 2013 has had a decade to accumulate reports; a rare one from last year has not. The signal worth weighing is in the severity columns, in whether the same component keeps appearing, and in whether the manufacturer eventually opened a recall for it.

Recall repairs are free for as long as the recall stands. Check whether a specific car still has open work at NHTSA's VIN lookup.
