Consumer Description

WHEN I START THE TRUCK IT MAKES A TICKING SOUND AND WHEN I HAVE THE A/C ON IT MAKES THE TICKING SOUND EVERY FEW SECONDS. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP 2 TIMES SO FAR AND THEY SAY THAT IT'S NORMAL SOUNDS FROM THE A/C COMPRESSOR BUT I'M NOT SURE THAT IT IS NORMAL BECAUSE WHEN THE TRUCK IS STARTED WITH THE AIR OFF IT DOES THIS. ALSO WHEN BRAKING, THE STEERING WHEEL SHAKES STRONGLY AND UNCONTROLLABLY. THIS IS EVERYTIME YOU BRAKE AND AT ANY SPEED UNTIL COMING TO A COMPLETE STOP. *JB
