The contact owns a 2017 Ford F-250 SD. The contact stated that there was an unknown fluid on the ground underneath the vehicle. The contact started that vehicle and became aware that diesel fuel was leaking from the fuel tank. The vehicle was not diagnosed. The dealer was contacted and stated that the vehicle needed to be diagnosed. The manufacturer was contacted and stated that the vehicle was not included in NHTSA Campaign Number: 16V778000 (Fuel System, Diesel) and advised the contact to call the NHTSA Hotline. The approximate failure mileage was 69,000.

UNDER AN EMERGENCY STOP, TRAVELING STRAIGHT, MOVING AT OR NEAR 60 MPH, ON HIGHWAY, THREE PASSENGERS AND TOWING A SMALL CAMPING TRAILER (ABOUT #4000), THE FRONT SUSPENSION WENT INTO A VICIOUS SHAKE. RAPID AND SUSTAINED. THIS SHOOK THE ENTIRE TRUCK. THIS FREQUENCY OF THE SHAKE DID NOT CORRESPOND TO THE SPEED OF THE TRUCK AND CONTINUED EVEN AFTER THE TRUCK HAD SLOWED AND THE BRAKES WERE RELEASED.

TIRE FAILURES DURING TOWING LEXANI LT 275/65R20 TIRES ARE STATED TO HAVE 3750 MAX LOAD CAPACITY, 50% OF THE TIRES HAVE FAILED DURING NORMAL TOWING. HAVE NOT EXPERIENCED THE SAME WITH OTHER MANUFACTURERS AND FEEL THESE ARE NOT CAPABLE OF STATED CAPACITY.

VEHICLE STARTS TO VIOLENTLY WOBBLE, SHUDDER, VIBRATE AT SPEEDS OVER 50MPH FOR UNKOWN REASONS. IT APPEARS THAT HIGHWAY SPEEDS CAUSE CAR TO BEGIN THIS DEATH WOBBLE. ROAD, WEATHER, AND SPEED CONDITIONS APPEAR TO BE AT RANDOM. THIS IS SO DANGEROUS THAT IT MUST BE ADDRESSED IMMEDIATELY. THIS ISSUE HAD BEEN HAPPENING SINCE THE VEHICLE WAS NEW. IT HAPPENS RANDOMLY AND IS VERY DANGEROUS. DEALERSHIP NEEDS INSTRUCTIONS FROM MANUFACTURER ON HOW TO REPAIR.

7/2018 DRIVING AT 50 MPH DOWN THE INTERSTATE MY VEHICLE STARTED SHAKING UNCONTROLLABLY, I WAS IN FEAR FOR MY LIFE. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND IT'S A DEATH WOBBLE, THEY STATED THEY REPAIRED IT AND IT ONLY LASTED ABOUT 1 MONTH! HERE I AM IN 7/2019 AND THE PROBLEM STILL EXISTS, I CAN NOT DRIVE MY $65K TRUCK ABOVE 40 MPH WITHOUT THIS ENTIRE TRUCK VIOLENTLY SHAKING. VERY DISAPPOINTED AS MY FAMILY IS A FORD FAMILY FOR 3 GENERATIONS AND FORDS WILL NOT FIX THE ISSUE AND I'M STUCK WITH A TRUCK I CAN'T DRIVE MAKING $1,000/MONTH PAYMENTS ON IT. CAN'T TRADE IT IN DUE TO THE FACT I CAN'T AFFORD IT. IT'S VERY TERRIBLE THAT I HAVE FEAR AND ANXIETY WITH IT. I DON'T FEEL SAFE AT ALL IN THIS TRUCK, PEOPLE STOP AND STARE WHEN IT HAPPENS, WHICH IS DAILY. PLEASE MAKE THIS RIGHT WITH ME FORD!

DEATH WOBBLE. BEGAN WITH 5K MILES ON VEHICLE. WHEN TRAVELING AT OR MORE THAN 50MPH VEHICLE UNEXPECTEDLY GOES INTO A VIOLENT SHAKING AND VIBRATION TANTRUM. CAN BE DIFFICULT TO REGAIN CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE UNLESS IT IS SLOWED DOWN TO 15-20 MPH. EXTREMELY DANGEROUS FOR DRIVER AND OTHER CARS IN IMMEDIATE VICINITY.

FRONT END SUFFERS FROM A SEVERE SHAKE AT SPEEDS OVER 50 MPH. I HAVE TAKEN IT TO THE DEALER 3 TIMES NOW AND IT STILL IS NOT REPAIRED. HAS GOTTEN WORSE.

VIOLENT STEERING SHIMMY HAS OCCURRED ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS AFTER HITTING SMALL IMPERFECTION IN HIGHWAY WHILE DRIVING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS.

DEATH WOBBLE! IN OCTOBER OF 2018 WITH JUST 14,000 MILES MY TRUCK IT WENT INTO A HORRIBLE STEERING OSCILLATION AFTER HITTING A HIGHWAY IRREGULARITY AT 65 MPH. IT NEARLY RIPPED THE STEERING WHEEL OUT OF MY HANDS. I TOOK IT TO THE LOCAL TOLEDO FORD DEALER AND HE CONFIRMED THAT I HAD THE DREADED "DEATH WOBBLE". THEY REPLACED SOME FRONT END PARTS, ADJUSTED THE ALIGNMENT, AND REBALANCED THE TIRES PER FORD MOTOR COMPANY. 10 MILES DOWN THE ROAD IT HAPPENED AGAIN AND JUST AS VIOLENTLY. BACK FOR MORE PARTS AND SERVICE. THIS TIME I WAS TOLD THAT A NEW STEERING STABILIZER WAS INSTALLED. EVERYTHING WAS PEACHY UNTIL MAY 22, 2019 WITH 20,7000 MILES ON THE TRUCK WHEN IT HAPPENED AGAIN. THIS PROBLEM OCCURS WHILE DRIVING IN A STRAIGHT LINE OR IN A CURVE AT LEGAL FREEWAY SPEEDS. ROAD IRREGULARITIES SEEM TO START THE WOBBLE. IT WILL BE GOING BACK TO THE DEALER FOR A THIRD TIME TOMORROW JUNE 4, 2019.. THE DEALER HAS TRIED VERY HARD TO CORRECT THIS DEADLY ISSUE BUT I'M GUESSING THAT IT IS A DESIGN FLAW I'M AFRAID TO DRIVE THIS TRUCK!!! HELP!!! I KNOW THAT I'M NOT ALONE. HOW MANY OWNERS HAVE TO BE INJURED OR DIE BEFORE FORD IS COERCED TO STEP UP TO THE PLATE AND FIX THIS PROBLEM?

DEATH WOBBLE. VIOLENT SHAKING AND WHEEL OSCILLATION OCCURS IF YOU HIT A BUMP WHILE TRAVELING AT SPEEDS OF 50MPH OR GREATER. THE VEHICLE SHAKES UNCONTROLLABLY AND BECOMES TOUGH OR IMPOSSIBLE TO CONTROL. I'VE BEEN FORCED INTO ONCOMING LANES WHILE TRAVELING DOWN PAVED ROADS AND INTO OTHER LANES ON 2-3 LANE HIGHWAYS. LUCKILY THERE WAS NO OPPOSING TRAFFIC TO CONTEND WITH AT THE TIME OR SERIOUS INJURY AND FATALITIES COULD HAVE OCCURRED. I HAVE ALSO NOTICED EXCESSIVE BREAK DUST ON THE RIMS AFTER SHORT TRIPS (250 MILES OR LESS).

TRUCK IS ALMOST 2 YEARS OLD. 25,000 MILES ON THE VEHICLE. ON 5/13, I EXPERIENCED A WOBBLE WHEN BRAKING EVER SO SLIGHTLY ABOVE 45 MILES AN HOUR. EXPERIENCED DEATH WOBBLE ON THE HIGHWAY DOING APPROXIMATELY 65 MILES AN HOUR, HAD TO SLOW DOWN AND CHANGE LANES WHILE HOLDING THE STEERING WHEEL WITH BOTH HANDS AND SLOW DOWN TO APPROXIMATELY 25 MILES AN HOUR IN ORDER TO GET THE WOBBLE TO STOP. TOOK THE VEHICLE INTO MY LOCAL DEALERSHIP PAUL CLARK FORD IN YULEE FLORIDA AND WAS TOLD THAT THE ROTOR HAD A HOTSPOT ON IT. WAS TOLD THE ONLY SOLUTION WOULD BE TO RESURFACE THE ROTORS. I HAD TO COME BACK FOR A LOANER VEHICLE ON 5/14. YESTERDAY 5/14, I WAS DRIVING APPROX 55 MPH ON A PAVED HIGHWAY WHEN I WENT OVER AN OVERPASS. AFTER DOING SO, THE WOBBEL STARTED AGAIN. LUCKILY I WAS ALONE ON THE ROAD BECAUSE THE TRUCK WAS SHAKING VIOLENTLY, I WAS ALONE ON THE ROAD AS THE SHAKING CAUSED THE TRUCK TO CHANGE LANES. GAIN, I HELD THE STEERING WHEL WITH BOTH HANDS TRYING TO SOMEWHAT CONTROL THE VEHICLE I SLOWED DOWN. WHEN THE VEHICLE SPEED WAS APROX 30 MPH, THE SHAKING STOPPED. I PROCEEDED SLOWLY TO MY DEALER TO TRUN THE TRUCK IN FOR THE NSPECTION AND FIX. THE SERVICE ADVISORS AND MASTER TECHNICIAN STATED THAT I WAS DEFINATELY THE DEATH WOBBLE AND THEY WOULD ATTEMPT TO FIX IT BUT IT WAS GOING TO BE DIFFICULT BECAUSE FORD HAS NOT ACKNOWLEDGED THE PROBLEM EVEN THOUGH THERE IS A TECHNICAL BULETIN (TSB-18-2268) REGARDING THE ISSUE. I BELIEVE THAT THIS IS MORE OF THE RECALL ISSUE THEN A SPORADIC ISSUE. THIS IS GOING TO CAUSE AN ACCIDENT AND MAY CAUSE SOMEONE IN THEIR LIFE.

I CROSSED AN EXPANSION JOINT ON THE INTERSTATE WHILE TRAVELING APPROX 60MPH AND MY STEERING WHEEL BEGAN OSCILLATING AND THE TRUCK STARTED VIOLENTLY SHAKING. DID NOT STOP UNTIL I SLOWED DOWN UNDER 40 MPH. THIS HAPPENED REPEATEDLY WITH DIFFERENT AREAS OF HIGHWAY. WAS BROUGHT TO AUTO NATION FORD IN CANTON OHIO ON MARCH 20 AND WAS SUPPOSEDLY REPAIRED UNDER BULLETIN TSB 18-2268. THOUGHT PROBLEM WAS CORRECTED UNTIL WHILE DRIVING ON INTERSTATE ON MAY 12 MY TRUCK DID THE EXACT SAME THING. TRUCK IS CURRENTLY AT AUTO NATION FORD PENDING REPAIR.

FIRST TIME EXPERIENCING THE DEATH WOBBLE, TOOK THE VEHICLE INTO MY LOCAL DEALERSHIP PAUL CLARK FORD IN YOUR FLORIDA AND WAS TOLD THAT THE ROTOR HAD A HOTSPOT ON IT. WAS TOLD THE ONLY SOLUTION WOULD BE TO RESURFACE THE ROTORS. AFTER READING NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE SAME EXACT ISSUE WITH THE SAME EXACT YEAR AND MODEL VEHICLE, I BELIEVE THAT THIS IS MORE OF THE RECALL ISSUE THEN A SPORADIC ISSUE. THIS IS GOING TO CAUSE AN ACCIDENT AND MAY CAUSE SOMEONE IN THEIR LIFE

WHILE TRAVELING DOWN THE HIGHWAY, MY TRUCK EXPERIENCED THE DEATH WOBBLE. WHILE DRIVING, IT STARTED TO SHAKE SO VIOLENTLY AND ALMOST CAUSED US TO HIT THE CENTER MEDIAN CONCRETE WALL. THEN MAYBE 150 MILES LATER, IT DID IT AGAIN. EACH TIME LOSING CONTROL ALMOST CAUSING A WRECK ON THE HIGHWAY. SO ON OUR WAY BACK HOME. I DECIDED TO DRIVE MORE THAN 10 MILES UNDER THE SPEED LIMIT. I WAS DOING 55 AND THE SPEED LIMIT WAS 70. IT HAPPENED TWO MORE TIMES. AS I HAVE RESEARCHED TODAY ONLY, THIS IS HAPPENEING A LOT AND MANY PEOPLE LIVES ARE BEING PUT AT RISK. THIS ISSUE NEEDS TO BE ESCALATED TO FORD AND THEY SHOULD BE FORCED TO ISSUE A RECALL AND FIX THIS ISSUE INSTEAD OF GIVING THEIR CUSTOMERS THE RUN AROUND.

TAILGATE HAS OPENED ON ITS OWN MULTIPLE TIMES WHILE DRIVING. THE TAILGATE IS NOW DAMAGED, IT WAS CAUGHT AGAINST MY TRAILER WHILE DRIVING.

WHILE DRIVING ON INTERSTATE 20, EASTBOUND, MY LOW FUEL PRESSURE INDICATOR LIGHT CAME ON. I STARTED LOSING POWER AND WE PULLED OFF AT THE EXIT THAT WAS THERE. AS SOON AS WE STOPPED, THE ENGINE BAY WAS ON FIRE. IT GAVE NO INDICATION OF ODD SMELLS OR PROBLEMS.IT SEEMED TO BURN THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT COMPLETELY, ALL THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEMS, INTERIOR, POSSIBLY FIREWALL, ETC. IT SEEMS THIS IS POSSIBLY A KNOWN PROBLEM.

WHILE DRIVING ON THE EXPRESSWAY ABOUT 70 MPH, THE FRONT END STARTED SHAKING ALL OVER THE PLACE CAUSING ME TO DRIVE INTO THE NEXT LANE.

I HAVE EXPERIENCED WHAT IS CALLED THE DEATH WOBBLE SINCE ABOUT 25,000 MILES. IT IS A VIOLENT SHAKING CAUSING THE STEERING TO BOUNCE BACK AND FORTH AND IS USUALLY SET OFF BY SOMETHING LIKE AN EXPANSION JOINT IN THE ROAD OR A ROUGH PATCH AT HIGHWAY SPEED. IT IS VERY AGGRESSIVE AND UNPLEASANT. I HAVE TAKEN IT INTO THE FORD DEALERSHIP 4 TIMES IN THE LAST 18,000 MILES FOR THIS SPECIFIC ISSUE. EACH TIME THEY REPLACE EITHER THE DRAG LINKS OR THE STEERING DAMPENER. I AM STILL EXPERIENCING THE SAME ISSUE. IT BECAME A SERIOUS PROBLEM FOR ME TWO DAYS AFTER GOT IT BACK FROM THE DEALERSHIP AND MY WIFE USED IT TO DRIVE 600 MILES. SHE EXPERIENCED THE DEATH WOBBLE ON SOME ICE PATCHES ON THE FREEWAY AND WAS HAVING TROUBLE CONTROLLING THE VEHICLE. I'M NOT SURE WHY THIS HAS NOT BECOME A RECALL BUT I CAN ATTEST THAT A DRIVER'S SAFETY IS COMPROMISED BY DRIVING A 2017 FORD F-250 SUPER DUTY. I HAVE OFF-ROAD DRIVING EXPERIENCE AND I BELIEVE THAT IS THE ONLY REASON I HAVE BEEN ABLE TO AVOID ACCIDENTS OVER THE LAST 18,000 MILES OF DRIVING.

I AM HAVING THE SAME ISSUE AS IN CASE # PE18-011. MY TAILGATE WILL OPEN RANDOMLY ON ITS OWN. THE TAILGATE RELEASE WILL ACTUATE OVER AND OVER WHEN THE BUTTON IS PUSHED ONCE. TOOK IT TO A FORD DEALER AND THEY CONFIRMED THAT IT IS THE SAME ISSUE AS TSB 17-2196. WATER GETS INTO A WIRING HARNESS. THIS SHOULD BE A SAFETY RECALL AS THE TAILGATE OPENING WHILE TOWING COULD CAUSE A LIMIT TO STEERING ABILITY AS THE TAILGATE CAN MAKE CONTACT WITH THE FRONT OF THE TRAILER. IT CAN ALSO CAUSE DAMAGE TO THE TAILGATE ITSELF IF IT LANDS ON SOMETHING.

I WAS TRAVELING DOWN THE FREEWAY AT APPROXIMATELY 65MPH WHEN I HIT AN EXPANSION JOINT IN THE ROAD. THE STEERING WHEEL BEGAN SHAKING VIOLENTLY TILL THE VEHICLE SLOWED TO ABOUT 30MPH. TRUCK ONLY HAS 20,000 MILES ON IT.

WHILE TRAVELING THE INTERSTATE AT APPROXIMATELY 70 MPH THIS VEHICLE EXPERIENCED EXTREME SHAKING AND VIBRATIONS IN THE STEERING WHEEL AND FRONT SUSPENSION. THE VEHICLE HAD TO BE SLOWED TO 40 MPH BEFORE THE SHAKING SUBSIDED. THIS WAS A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION BECAUSE OF THE HEAVY TRAFFIC AT THE TIME OF THE INCIDENT. THIS VEHICLE HAS EXPERIENCED THE PROBLEM A FEW TIMES AFTER THE INITIAL INCIDENT.

DEATH WOBBLE, TOTAL LOSS OF CONTROL TRAVELING OVER 50 MILES AN HOUR ON HIGHWAY. WHEEL VIOLENTLY WHIPPING BACK AND FORTH FAST AND VIOLENTLY. LOSS OF CONTROL OF VEHICLE ALMOST CAUSING MAJOR ACCIDENT ON HIGHWAY.

WAS TRAVELING ON I90 WITH MY FATHER, WAS DOING 70 MILES PER WHEN TRUCK STARTED SHAKING AND JERKING WAS ALL I COULD DO TO KEEP HOLD OF STEERING WHEEL. THERE WAS A SEMI BEHIND ME THAT NEARLY HIT US AND THERE WAS NOTHING I COULD DO ABOUT IT, BECAUSE I HAD TO SLOW DOWN TO GET THE TRUCK TO STOP SHAKING NEVER BEEN SO SCARED

WHILE DRIVING DOWN A NEWER TOLL ROAD ABOUT 70 MPH I EXPERIENCED THE "DEATH WOBBLE". THE FRONT OF MY TRUCK BEGAN BOUNCING AND MY STEERING WHEEL SHOOK VIOLENTLY. IT HAPPENED AGAIN A FEW DAYS LATER WHILE HEADING TO THE REPAIR SHOP TO HAVE THIS DIAGNOSED AND REPAIRED.

VEHICLE SHAKES UNCONTROLLABLY WHEN DRIVING OVER 65 ON ANY ROAD AND YOU HIT A BUMP (LIKE COMING ONTO THE HIGHWAY AT THE BEGINNING OF A BRIDGE). AFTER THE SHAKING HAS STARTED, IT WILL NOT STOP UNTIL YOU HAVE SLOWED DOWN TO ALMOST A DEAD STOP. I AM CONCERNED FOR MY FAMILY, MYSELF, AS WELL AS OTHER DRIVERS ON THE ROAD. THIS IS NOT ACCEPTABLE. MY TRUCK IS JUST OVER A YEAR OLD AND HAS BEEN BABIED. I KNOW SOMEONE WHO HAS DIED FROM THIS ISSUE IN THE PAST SO THIS REALLY IS CONCERNING. PLEASE TAKE ACTION BEFORE SOMEONE IS KILLED.

I HAVE HAD THIS TRUCK DEVELOP AN INTERMITTENT ALMOST UNCONTROLLABLE HIGHWAY SPEED FRONT END 'WOBBLE', IT HAS BEEN SIGNIFICANT ENOUGH THAT I WAS AFRAID THAT I WAS NOT GOING TO BE ABLE TO SUCCESSFULLY CONTROL THE TRUCK WHILE I SLOWED DOWN (IT HAS HAPPENED TWICE) I HAVE TAKEN THE TRUCK TO TWO FORD DEALERSHIPS (BORMAN FORD IN LAS CRUCES NEW MEXICO, AND TO THE DEALERSHIP THAT I PURCHASED THE TRUCK FROM...LAWLEY TEAM FORD IN SILVER CITY NEW MEXICO). BOTH DEALERSHIP SERVICE DEPARTMENTS INDICATED THEY COULD FIND NOTHING WRONG WITH MY TRUCK. THEY ALSO INDICATED THAT THERE WERE NO FORD SERVICE BULLETINS REGARDING THIS TYPE OF HIGHWAY SPEED STEERING/FRONT SUSPENSION WOBBBLE. THE DEALERSHIP I PURCHASED THE TRUCK AT SUGGESTED THAT I INSTALL A HEAVIER DUTY STEERING AFTERMARKET STABILIZER AND TRACK BAR...MY RESPONSE WAS THAT MY TRUCK WAS 2 YEARS OLD, WITH 20,000 MILES ON IT, AND THAT IF THERE WAS A PROBLEM THAT FORD SHOULD PROVIDE THE PARTS AND NECESSARY REPAIR. SEARCHING THE INTERNET, MANY OWNERS OF 2017 AND NEWER FORD SUPERDUTY F-250'S ARE EXPERIENCING THIS PROBLEM, YET FORD APPEARS TO NOT BE ACKNOWLEDGING THE ISSUE. AT THIS POINT I AM AFRAID TO DRIVE THE TRUCK AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS, AND WOULD APPRECIATE HELP IN FORCING FORD TO ADDRESS THIS SIGNIFICANT SAFETY ISSUE. PLEASE KNOW THAT MY TRUCK HAS ORIGINAL WHEELS AND TIRES, AND NO PORTION OF THE FRONT SUSPENSION OR STEERING ASSEMBLY HAS BEEN MODIFIED IN ANY WAY. THANK YOU.

WE OWN A 2017 FORD F-250 DIESEL CREW CAB 4X4, UNMODIFIED, WITH 15,094 MILES. ON A TRIP TO FRESNO CA FROM YUMA AZ, AND BACK AGAIN FEBRUARY 22ND AND 23RD 2019, I EXPERIENCE A QUICKLY ESCALATING SEVERE STEERING OSCILLATION NINE SEPARATE TIMES THAT REQUIRED ME TO DANGEROUSLY SLOW DOWN FROM THE POSTED SPEED LIMIT, AND MOST TIMES, TO DRIVE OFF THE HIGHWAY TO THE SHOULDER. MY TIRE PRESSURES WERE AS RECOMMENDED AND VERIFIED BY THE FORD DEALERSHIP, AS WERE THEIR RECENT BALANCE, TOE, CAMBER, AND ALIGNMENT. I FIRST ENCOUNTERED THIS LIFE THREATENING DEFECT WHEN THE F-250 VIN# [XXX] HAD JUST UNDER 9,000 MILES ON IT. I WAS ADVISED BY THE FORD DEALERSHIP SERVICE PERSONNEL TO CHECK MY TIRE PRESSURE, AND BALANCE. THEY ALSO SUGGESTED I HAVE THEM ADJUST MY ?TOE? IN SLIGHTLY MORE THAN NORMALLY RECOMMENDED. THIS THEY SAID WOULD CAUSE MY TIRES TO WEAR SLIGHTLY FASTER, BUT WOULD COMBAT THE ?WOBBLE? THAT SOMETIMES PLAGUES THEIR UNITS. I FOUND THAT ONCE THE TRUCK HAD AT LEAST ONE SIDE OFF THE FIRM CONTACT OF THE PAVED, OR CEMENT ROADWAY, AND ON THE LOOSE GRAVEL, OR DIRT, THAT QUICKLY ELIMINATED THE OSCILLATION. THE PROBLEM IS THE SIDE OF THE ROAD IS NOT ALWAYS ACCESSIBLE WHEN THIS ATTACK HAPPENS BECAUSE OF OTHER VEHICLES, OR THERE JUST IS NO ROAD SHOULDER AT ALL. ONCE THE VIBRATION STARTS WHICH IS ALWAYS INITIATED BY ENCOUNTERING A JOLTING BLEMISH FOLLOWED IMMEDIATELY BY A FEW OTHER IMPERFECTIONS. LIKE A ROAD JOINT, CRACKS, REPAIR PATCH FOLLOWED IMMEDIATELY BY OTHER IMPERFECTIONS LIKE REPETITIVE CRACKS OR POT HOLES. IT CAUSES THE TWO FRONT TIRES TO COUNTER ACT EACH OTHER IN AN ESCALATING SEVERE OSCILLATION. THIS HAPPENS, AND WILL REACH ITS CRESCENDOS WITHIN A QUICK COUPLE OF SECONDS. AKIN TO A SURPRISE SUCKER PUNCH THIS MAKES THE WHOLE TRUCK VIOLENTLY SHAKE, AND THE STEERING WHEEL BECOMES AN OUT OF CONTROL BACK AND FORTH SHUDDERING COMBATANT.
