Consumer Description

FIRST OCCURRENCE WAS A BUMP ENTERING AN OVERPASS. THE TRUCK WENT INTO A VIOLENT SHAKING AND BOUNCING AND WENT OFF THE ROAD ON RIGHT SHOULDER. I HAD TO HAVE IT NEARLY STOPPED FOR THE UNDAMPED SHAKING TO STOP. ON NOV 7, 2011 I WAS DRIVING ON A PERFECTLY SMOOTH PIECE OF HIGHWAY AT 65-70 MPH WHEN THE TRUCK "EXPLODED" INTO A VIOLENT BOUNCING AND SHAKING. THE TRUCK WAS BOUNCING UNCONTROLLABLY UNTIL I FINALLY LOCKED THE BRAKES AND SKIDDED OFF THE SHOULDER AND INTO A BANK ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. IF ANY VEHICLES HAD BE IN THE ADJACENT LANE, I WOULD NOT HAVE BEEN ABLE TO AVOID HITTING THEM. *TR
