Consumer Description

I WAS DRIVING IT HOME FROM THE DEALERSHIP, ON A BACK ROAD, GOING ABOUT 40 MPH. I HIT A BUMP, THE WHOLE FRONT END STARTED BOUNCING UNCONTROLLABLY. LIKE IT WAS HIT WITH A JACK HAMMER! I ENDED UP OFF THE ROAD! AS I GOT OUT AND WAS LOOKING TO SEE WHAT HAPPENED, A GUY STOPPED BEHIND ME. HE GOT OUT, AND SAID HE HAS THE SAME TRUCK WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. HE'S NEVER SEEN IT HAPPEN BEFORE, ONLY EXPERIENCED IT FIRST HAND. HE SAID IT LOOKED LIKE THE WHEELS WERE GOING DIFFERENT DIRECTIONS! I DIDN'T SEE ANYTHING WRONG THO. THE LUG NUTS AND EVERYTHING WERE TIGHT.IT EVEN PASSED INSPECTION THIS MORNING! I LOOKED ONLINE AND IT SAID TO START ONLINE HERE TO DOCUMENT THE COMPLAINTS.
