Consumer Description
DURING A DRIVE ON THE HWY, THE VEHICLE WENT OVER AN UNEVEN SECTION OF THE ROAD CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO WOBBLE AND SHAKE VIOLENTLY. I PULLED OVER TO INSPECT THE FRONT END OF THE VEHICLE THINKING I HAD HIT SOMETHING OR HAD A FLAT TIRED. NOTHING OUT OF THE ORDINARY WAS FOUND. THE SAME EVENT OCCURRED A MONTH OR SO LATER WHEN DRIVING BACK FROM THE AIRPORT AND HIT A POT HOLE AT ABOUT 50 MILES AN HOUR. THE VEHICLE ONCE AGAIN FELT OUT OF CONTROL SHIFTING FROM LEFT TO RIGHT ON THE HWY AND FELT UNCONTROLLABLE. GOT HOME, CHECKED ALL ASSOCIATED SUSPENSION HARDWARE AND NOTHING OUT OF THE ORDINARY WAS DETECTED. AT THIS POINT, I AM A BIT HESITANT TO GO AT SPEED LIMIT AND CONSTANTLY WATCHING, AVOIDING MAIN HIGHWAYS. IT SEEMS LIKE THE VEHICLE HAS SUSPENSION ISSUES AND IT WAS NOT DESIGNED ACCORDINGLY TO ITS HEAVY DUTY RATINGS. THE VEHICLE IS A ROAD HAZARD AND A DANGER TO THE DRIVER AND OTHER DRIVERS.. *TR
