Consumer Description

I HAVE HAD PROBLEMS WITH THE FRONT SUSPENSION OF THIS TRUCK SINCE SHORTLY AFTER I PURCHASED IT NEW IN MARCH 2001. IT HAS BEEN BACK TO THE DEALER 6 TIMES, AND THEY HAVE REPLACED MANY PARTS, BUT THE PROBLEM STILL PERSISTS. THE FRONT END MAKES A LOUD BANGING/POPPING NOISE WHEN TURNING OR GOING OVER BUMPS. IT SOUNDS LIKE THE TIRE IS GOING TO FALL OFF THE TRUCK! MANY OTHERS I KNOW HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM. THEY NEED TO ISUE A RECALL ON THIS SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE BEFORE SOMEBODY IS EITHER SERIOUSLY INJURED OR KILLED!
