Consumer Description
HIT A BUMP IN THE ROAD AT 50MPH +, THE STEERING WHEEL BEGAN TO SHAKE VIOLENTLY MAKING THE VEHICLE IMPOSSIBLE TO CONTROL. I HAD TO HIT THE BRAKES HARD AND SLOW WAY DOWN TO REGAIN CONTROL OF THE TRUCK. THIS NEARLY CAUSED THE CAR BEHIND ME TO REAR END ME ON ONE OCCASION. THIS HAS HAPPENED TO ME 3 TIMES IN THE LAST MONTH. I HAVE ONLY EXPERIENCED THIS UNLOADED WITH NO TRAILER ON STRAIGHT ROADS, THUS FAR. THE VEHICLE IS RIGHT AT 19,000 MILES, STILL UNDER WARRANTY. IT SHOULD NOT BEHAVE THIS WAY. EVEN WHEN THE WOBBLE DOESN'T HAPPEN, THE VEHICLE WILL SOMETIMES JUMP TO ONE SIDE OR ANOTHER GOING OVER ANGLED JOINTS IN THE ROAD. IF YOU ARE NOT PAYING EXTREME ATTENTION, YOU WILL BE IN THE MEDIAN. THIS HAS HAPPENED MANY TIMES IN THE LAST FEW MONTHS. IT SIMPLY ISN'T VERY SAFE TO DRIVE WITHOUT A HIGH PAYLOAD. THE WOBBLE OCCURRED MULTIPLE TIMES AT THE SAME BRIDGE JOINT GOING IN TWO DIRECTIONS. THE JUMPING TO THE SIDE OCCURS ALMOST DAILY AT THE SAME JOINT. THE WOBBLE OCCURRED A SEPARATE TIME ON ANOTHER ROAD. BOTH ROADS ARE 2-3 LANE CITY THOROUGHFARES. NOT REALLY CITY STREET OR HIGHWAYS, BUT I SUPPOSED DIVIDED HIGHWAY IS THE BEST DESCRIPTION . I JUST REPLACED STOCK/ORIGINAL TIRES, HOPING THOSE HAVE SOMETHING TO DO WITH IT.
