Consumer Description

THE STEERING IN THIS TRUCK HAS BEEN HORRIBLE SINCE THE DRIVE HOME FROM THE DEALERSHIP . IT IS PRACTICALLY IMPOSSIBLE TO KEEP THIS TRUCK IN YOUR LANE, IT WANDERS AND GOES WHERE IT [XXX] WELL PLEASES. I'VE HAD THE TRUCK IN THE SHOP FOR THE STEERING PROBLEM. THEY REPLACED STEERING LINKAGE AND THE BALL JOINTS. THIS DID NOT HELP ONE BIT. WITH ONLY 28,000 MILES ON THIS TRUCK (95% FREEWAY MILES) THE TIRES SHOW SIGNIFICANT WEAR. A SERVICE MANAGER AT ONE OF THE LOCAL DEALERSHIPS SAID THIS IS THE LARGEST COMPLAINT ON THIS VEHICLE AND THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO TO REMEDY THE PROBLEM. THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY HAZARD. *PH INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR
