Consumer Description

I WAS DRIVING DOWN I-69 RUNNING ABROUND 75MPH. ALL OF THE SUDDEN, THE TRUCK STARTED TO VIOLENTLY SHAKE AS IF BOTH REAR TIRES BLEW OUT. I GENTLY PRESSED ON THE BRAKES TO NOT EXASERBATE THE ISSUE. IT WAS EVERYTHING I COULD DO TO KEEP THE TRUCK ON THE ROAD. SCARIEST MOMENT OF MY LIFE FOR SURE. LOOKING IN THE REARVIEW, I SAW SMOKE COMING FROM THE TIRES AND THOUGHT EITHER MY BRAKES LOCKED UP, BEARING WENT BAD IN ONE OF WHEELS OR BLOWN TIRES. AS I SLOWED TO 25 MPH, THE SHAKING STOPPED AND I NOTICED THAT THE ENGINE WAS REVVING SUPER HIGH. I STOPPED THE TRUCK AND CHECKED OUT THE BRAKES, TIRES, WHEELS AND MAKE SURE NOTHING WAS WRAPPED AROUND THE AXLE. ALL CLEAR. I CAN ONLY ASSUME THE TRUCK DOWNSHIFTED INTO 1ST OR 2ND GEAR. I DID NOT SEE IT HAPPEN BUT THE REAR TIRES LOST TRACTION AND BOUNCED AROUND UNTIL I SLOWED DOWN. I-69 THROUGH DELEWARE COUNTY HAS RECENTLY BEEN PAVED SO I DONT THINK I HIT ANY BIG BUMPS BEFORE THIS HAPPENED. THE TRUCK HAS 38,028 MILES ON IT AND I HAVE NEVER HAD TRANMISSION ISSUE'S WITH IT. THE OCCASIONAL HARD TO START CONDITION HAS HAPPENED A FEW TIMES BEFORE. 5 -10 SECONDS TURNING OVER BEFORE STARTING BUT NO TRANMISSION ISSUE'S. THIS HAPPENED LAST NIGHT AND SINCE, I HAVE HAD IT UP TO 70 MPH AND IT DIDNT HAPPEN AGAIN. AGAIN THOUGH, THIS HAPPENED LAST NIGHT.
