Consumer Description

TRY TO MAKE SMALL ADJUSTMENT WITH STEERING WHEEL AND THE STEERING APPEARED TO FIGHT ME. WHEN FIRST STARTING THE TRUCK AND GO TO BACK UP, THE WHEEL IS DIFFICULT TO MOVE. AFTER ROCKING THE WHEEL BACK AND FORTH A NUMBER OF TIMES THE STEERING SEEMS A LITTLE MORE NORMAL. THIS SAME WHEEL FIGHT CAN COME ON EVEN WHEN YOU ARE ON THE ROAD AND TRAVELING THE SPEED LIMIT. SINCE THIS HAPPENS WHILE DRIVING, I AM WORRIED THAT IT COULD SEIZE UP AND CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. IF IT WAS JUST MY VEHICLE I WOULD JUST PAY AND GET IT FIXED, AS I AM CURRENTLY DOING, BUT THE INTERNET SAYS THERE ARE A LOT OF PEOPLE WITH THE VERY SAME COMPLAINT AND THEY HAVE CONTACTED YOU FOLKS. THE RANGE OF MODEL YEAR APPEARS TO BE 2005 AND UP. PLEASE LOOK INTO THIS AS IT IS A VERY DANGEROUS PROBLEM AND PEOPLE COULD DIE.
