Consumer Description

BETWEEN 60 TO 75 MPH WHEN HITTING CERTAIN BUMPS THE STEERING STARTS VIOLENTLY SHAKING AND WILL NOT STOP TILL SLOW DOWN TO ABOUT 25 MPH. THIS STARTED AT AROUND 24K AND HAS HAPPENED 10+ TIMES. ALSO AT 37K SYNC 3 RADIO NO LONGER WILL COME ON AND WIRING ISSUES CANNOT GET TRAILER BRAKING TO CONNECT TO THE TRUCK. LIGHTS WORK FINE BUT ALWAYS SHOWS TRAILER DISCONNECTED SO BRAKING DOESN'T WORK. YOU CAN ALSO START THE TRUCK IN NEUTRAL AND PUT IT IN ANY GEAR WITHOUT HAVING YOUR FOOT ON THE BRAKE.
