Consumer Description

WHILE DRIVING THIS TRUCK AT APPROXIMATELY 60 MILES AN HOUR I HIT A EXPANSION JOINT AS I WAS ON A SLIGHT LEFT TURN CAUSE THE VEHICLE TO SHAKE VIOLENTLY ALMOST LOSING CONTROL UNTIL I SLOWED DOWN TO BELOW 30 MILES AN HOUR THEN THE SUSPENSION STABILIZED. THIS HAS OCCURRED ON MANY OCCASIONS SINCE THE FIRST INCIDENT AND I HAVE LEARNED TO ANTICIPATE WHEN THIS MAY OCCUR AND EXPECT IT. I HAVE TAKEN VEHICLE TO HAVE SUSPENSION CHECK AND THEY HAVE FOUND NO PROBLEMS. IT WAS RECOMMENDED THAT I PUT A DUAL SHOCK ABSORBING STEERING STABILIZER ON THIS VEHICLE. THIS WAS DONE AND DID NOT CORRECT THE PROBLEMS. *TR
