Consumer Description

I WAS DRIVING HOME FROM WORK ON IDAHO HIGHWAY 48 AT APPROXIMATELY 50 MPH. WHEN I HIT A PATCH OF ROUGH ROAD, NOT A POT HOLE, JUST UNEVEN SURFACE, THE TRUCK BEGAN TO WOBBLE VIOLENTLY AND SHOOK ME OFF THE ROAD. I WAS TOTALLY UNABLE TO CONTROL IT AND ALMOST WENT INTO A CANAL. I WAS FINALLY ABLE TO SLOW DOWN ENOUGH TO REGAIN CONTROL. THIS HAPPENED TWICE. THE VEHICLE IS UNUSABLE IN THIS CONDITION.
