Consumer Description

WHEN TURNING THE VEHICLE, IT FEELS LIKE THE POWER STEERING GOES OUT AND THE VEHICLE TURNS REALLY HARD AND IT IS NEARLY IMPOSSIBLE TO RETURN THE STEERING WHEEL TO CENTER WITHOUT USING EXCESSIVE FORCE ON THE STEERING WHEEL. IT ALMOST FEELS LIKE YOU CANNOT RECOVER FROM THE TURN AND THAT YOU ARE GOING TO CRASH. WE TOOK IT TO THE DEALER TONIGHT. THEY WILL HOPEFULLY HAVE TIME TO DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM TOMORROW AND FIX THE ISSUE. I SUSPECT IT IS THE SAME ISSUE THAT I READ THE NHSTA HAS INVESTIGATED BEFORE, AND I AM WONDERING WHAT IT TAKES FOR A RECALL TO BE ISSUED. I HOPE IT DOESN'T TAKE PEOPLE DYING IN A CRASH BEFORE SOMEONE STEPS UP AND TAKES THIS ISSUE SERIOUSLY. WE HAVE MAINTAINED THIS VEHICLE METICULOUSLY AND ALL SERVICE ON THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN AT THE DEALERSHIP SINCE THE DAY WE BOUGHT IT. UNFORTUNATELY THIS IS NOT THE FIRST SAFETY ISSUE WE HAVE HAD WITH THIS TRUCK. *JS
