Consumer Description

WHILE TOWING A 7000 LB TRAILER/RV, THE TRUCK STARTED SHAKING BADLY AFTER DRIVING OVER A BRIDGE EXPANSION JOINT. THIS OCCURRED THREE TIMES IN ONE DAY WHILE DRIVING ON CANADA HWY 104 BETWEEN ANTIGONISH NS AND MONCTON NB. AFTER STAYING IN A WALMART PARKING LOT IN MONCTON NB, THE SHAKING HAPPEN ONE MORE TIME THE NEXT DAY ON HWY 1 WHILE DRIVING TO SAINT JOHN. EACH TIME, THE BRAKES WERE APPLIED AND THE SHAKING STOP AT ABOUT 35 MPH. EACH TIME, THE SHAKING STARTED WHILE DRIVING BETWEEN 60 AND 70 MPH, AND CROSSING A BRIDGE EXPANSION JOINT. THE TRUCK HAD ABOUT 26,000 MILES WHEN THIS WAS HAPPENING. THE SAME TRAILER SETUP HAS BE USED FORM THOUSANDS OF MILE SINCE THE TRUCK WAS NEW. THE SHAKING WAS VERY BAD AND I AM VERY THANKFUL NO OTHER CARS WERE CLOSE BY WHEN IT HAPPEN.
