Consumer Description
I WAS TRAVELING ALONG I-40 GOING ABOUT 75 MILES PER HOUR AROUND A SLIGHT CURVE TO THE LEFT WHEN I HIT A SMALL BUMP. THE ENTIRE FRONT END OF MY TRUCK BEGAN TO SHAKE VIOLENTLY. THE TRUCK BECAME VERY DIFFICULT TO CONTROL AS THE STEERING WHEEL WAS RIPPED OUT OF MY HANDS. I PULLED A MUSCLE IN MY ARM TRYING TO REGAIN CONTROL THE FIRST TIME IT HAPPENED. THE SHAKING WENT AWAY AS SOON AS I SLOWED DOWN TO ABOUT 68MPH, AND DID NOT RETURN AS I ACCELERATED FURTHER. THIS BEGAN HAPPENING ON 11/12/2019 AT APPROXIMATELY 38K MILES.
