Consumer Description

DRIVING STRAIGHT ON A HIGHWAY AT 70 MPH, HIT A SMALL BUMP ON THE DRIVER SIDE ONLY. THE STEERING WHEEL STARTED SHAKING VIOLENTLY, THE FRONT END AND QUICKLY THE ENTIRE TRUCK FELT AS THOUGH IT WAS SHAKING APART AND WAS SWINGING BACK AND FORTH, I SLAMMED ON THE BRAKES AND THE SHAKING GOT WORSE UNTIL ABOUT 15 MPH, IT THEN STOPPED. I THEN GOT UP TO 60 MPH AND WHEN I HIT A BUMP THE SAME THING HAPPENED. THEN GOT UP TO 50 MPH AND THE SAME THING HAPPENED. THEN GOT UP TO 40 MPH AND IT DID NOT HAPPEN AGAIN AT THAT SPEED. I DROVE 100 MILES HOME AT 40 MPH ON A MAIN HIGHWAY. TODAY I AM BRINGING MY TRUCK TO THE DEALERSHIP TO HAVE IT FIXED UNDER WARRANTY, I WILL DO 40 MPH ALL THE WAY THERE. I WILL NOT TOW MY HORSES TRAILER WITH THIS VEHICLE, IT WOULD HAVE CAUSED AN ACCIDENT AND KILLED MY HORSES. *TR
