Consumer Description

WHEN DRIVING ON I95 (INTESTATE) AT A NOMINAL 65-70 MPH SPONTANEOUSLY, THE TRUCK STARTS SHAKING AND AS TIME PROGRESSES IT GETS SO BAD IT MAKES THE TRUCK VERY DIFFICULT TO CONTROL. DURING THE EVENT THE FIRST REACTION IS TO HOLD THE TRUCK IN A LANE WHILE BRAKING. THAT EXACERBATES THE VIOLENCE OF THE SHAKING UNTIL BELOW 30 MPH. THIS HAS GOTTEN PROGRESSIVELY WORST OVER A WEEKS TIME. MOST RECENTLY IT ALMOST CAUSED A COLLISION WITH A LARGE TRUCK. THIS HAPPENED WHEN THE TRUCK WAS NEW AND THE DEALER REPAIRED SOMETHING AT NO COST UNDER WARRANTY. NOW I MUST PAY FOR A REPAIR FOR SOMETHING I BELIEVE IS A SIGNIFICANT DESIGN PROBLEM AND SAFETY HAZARD.
