Consumer Description

ON 5 DIFFERENT OCCASIONS THE POWER TO THE TRUCK CUTS OFF AND THE STEERING WHEEL LOCKS UP WHILE DRIVING. ON THE DASH THE STABILILOCK LIGHT FLASHES. THIS HAS HAPPENED TO ME WHILE TURNING TO GET ON A MAJOR HIGHWAY, WHILE DRIVING DOWN MAIN ROADS TRYING TO CHANGE LANES, AND THE LAST TIME I WAS TURNING INTO MY BANKS DRIVE THROUGH AND HAD TO SLAM ON BREAKS IN ORDER TO AVOID CRASHING INTO THE MEDIAN. I TOOK THE VEHICLE BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP PATRIOT IN KILLEEN TEXAS AND THEY SAID THEY UPDATED THE SYSTEM AND FOUND NO ISSUES AND COULD NOT RECREATE THE ISSUE I SAID I WAS HAVING. THIS MORNING ON MY WAY TO WORK, IT HAPPENED AGAIN. THIS COULD BE DEADLY IF IT HAPPENS AGAIN.
