Experienced an extreme loss of control due to a wobble/vibration that would only stop when you slowed to a speed under 25 MPH. The death wobble would go away but a slight vibration associated with a loose feeling in the steering is now constant. #94v202000, 94v097000, 93v173000, and 01v037000 all need replacing. The last recall mentioned here is the speed control throttle cable, and so far it has not been a problem. The possible effects due to its failure urges me to replace this part.

Crash or fire occurred and glaval paid for the repair of this single unit.a safety-related defect trend has not been identified at this time and further use of agency resources does not appear to be warranted.the closing of this investigation does not constitute a finding by the federal safety agency that no safety-related defect exists.the agency reserves the right to take further action if warranted by the circumstances.
