Consumer Description

YESTERDAY WHILE ROUNDING CORNER ON HIGHWAY VEHICLE STEERING WHEEL SUDDENLY DID NOT WANT TO TURN FELT LIKE IT WAS BINDING UP. HAD TO USE BOTH HANDS PULLING HARD ON WHEEL TO MAKE CORNER AND THEN THE WHEEL DID NOT CENTER ON ITS OWN. I WENT OUT OF MY LANE OF TRAFFIC FORTUNATELY NO ONE WAS IN THE OTHER LANE. STEERING RETURNED TO NORMAL FOR.A FEW MINUTES THEN IT HAPPENED AGAIN ON EXIT RAMP. IT HAS HAPPENED ON AND OFF MULTIPLE TIMES. THERE IS NO WARNING BEFORE IT HAPPENS AND ELECTRIC ASSIST WARNING LIGHT HAS NEVER ACTIVATED WHEN THIS HAS OCCURRED. I AM CURRENTLY AT LOCAL REPAIR SHOP HAVING THE TRUCK LOOKED AT. IN THE PAST I OWNED A TOYOTA PICKUP WITHOUT POWER STEERING AND THIS IS 20 TIMES MORE DIFFICULT TO CONTROL WHEN LOSING THE ELECTRIC ASSIST. THIS HAPPENS ON THE HIGHWAY AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS AS WELL AS ON CITY STREETS. IF CAN HAPPEN ON JUST GENTLE BENDS IN THE ROADWAY AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS OR LOW SPEED TURNS. THE STEERING IS JUST AS DIFFICULT TO MOVE NO MATTER THE SPEED WHEN IT OCCURS. STEERING WHEEL FEELS LIKE IT'S STUCK BUT WILL MOVE WITH A LOT OF FORCE FROM BOTH HANDS. I ALMOST HIT THE CURB AT LOW SPEED ON THE WAY TO THE REPAIR SHOP THIS MORNING.
