Consumer Description

DRIVING ON A COUNTY ROAD, THERE WAS A SECTION OF SMOOTHED PAVEMENT THAT HAD BEEN REPAIRED, SLIGHT BUMP IN ROAD. WHEN THE TRUCK WENT OVER IT, THE ENTIRE TRUCK BEGAN SHAKING, THE FRONT WHEELS VIOLENTLY SHOOK OUT OF CONTROL. IT DID NOT MINIMIZE AT ALL UNTIL I WAS ABLE TO SLOW THE TRUCK DOWN TO ABOUT 10MPH AND IT WENT AWAY. IT WAS ENOUGH TO SCARE MY CHILD IN THE BACK SEAT AND MYSELF. THERE HAVE BEEN SEVERAL INSTANCES OF THIS SINCE I PURCHASED THIS TRUCK, THIS BEING THE WORST. I WOULD BE VERY AFRAID OF AN ACCIDENT IF THIS HAD HAPPENED TO THIS DEGREE OUT ON A HIGHWAY AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. I HAD BEEN TO THE DEALER AFTER THE FIRST COUPLE TIMES IT HAPPENED, THEY BLAMED THE TIRE PRESSURE AND ACTED LIKE THEY HAD NOT HEARD OF THIS PRIOR. THE VEHICLE WAS JUST AT THE DEALER A FEW WEEKS AGO FOR SERVICE WHERE THEY SET THE TIRE PRESSURES THEMSELVES. *TR
