Consumer Description

IF WE HIT A SMALL DEFECT IN THE ROAD, THE TRUCK BEGINS SHAKING VIOLENTLY AND BECOMES HARD TO STEER UNTIL WE HAVE SIGNIFICANTLY REDUCED SPEED. THIS HAPPENS ON ANY ROAD SURFACE AND HAS OCCURRED ON INTERSTATE HI-WAYS AT LEGAL SPEEDS OF 80 MPH BEFORE., FORTUNATELY IN LIGHT TRAFFIC THAT DAY.THIS COULD CAUSE A SEVERE ACCIDENT IF IT HAPPENS AT THE WRONG TIME AND PLACE. PROBLEMS WAS AT FIRST OCCASIONAL AND HAS BECOME MUCH MORE FREQUENT. WE USE THIS TRUCK TO HAUL A HEAVY, LOADED HORSE TRAILER. OR DID, BUT NOW DON'T FEEL SAFE DOING SO.
