I was on the frwy. And my Nissan Pathfinder started to wobble like, it was going to flip over. I was driving about 60-65 and was headed in a straight direction. I took my foot off of the accelerator and the wobble seemed to go away. I was on the frwy. So I sped up to the legal limit, and now I'm going around a curve and, the wobble was intense , it scared me me to death. Since, I have had the struts, shocks replaced twice. I've done a lot of research on this wobble. . . It is called the death wobble. . . It is a problem with the materials used making, the bushings in the rear suspension. Even when these bushings (the same material bushings) are replaced it can and will happen again. People driving around me when this wobble starts. . . They cannot get away from me fast enough. This is very expensive to repair especially, most mechanics do process of elimination, starting with shocks, tires, struts, upper and lower control arms, rear arm assembly,ball joints and wheel bearings need I say more. On ask. Com, the death wobble is well known. This needs to be investigated. This is the second Pathfinder I have owned , I purchase Nissan products because they are good for 2 to 300k. I love my Pathfinder , but I don't want to die in it or have an accident, killing anybody . The bushings need to be made of some other material so that this will quit happening. When all is stable, it starts all over again within a few thousand miles.
