Consumer Description

THE STEERING WOULD JERK THE WHEEL LEFT OR RIGHT WHILE IN A TURN CAUSING A MOMENTARY LOSS OF CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE. STEERING BOX WAS REPLACED BEFORE FINALLY THE EVO SENSOR WAS REPLACED. ABS BRAKES ALSO HAVE NEVER FELT GOOD. THE PEDAL GOES TO LOW BEFORE THE BRAKES SLOW THE VEHICLE DOWN. THIS HAS BEEN A COMPLAINT SENCE THE TRUCK WAS NEW. THE RETAILER SEEMS NOT VERY CONCERNED WITH MY COMPLAINTS. ESPECIALLY KNOWING THAT I AM AN AUTOMOBILE TECHNICIAN THEY FEEL I WILL LET THE PROBLEM GO THEIR REPAIRS HAVED BEEN UNSATISFACTORY FROM THE BEGINING. I HAVE HAD TO COMPLAIN ABOUT PROBLEMS MANY TIMES BEFORE FINALLY THE PREBLEMS ARE FIXED. WITH THE STEERING PROBLEM I HAAD TO CONTACT ANOTHER DEALER TECH I KNEW AND ASK HIM THE PROBLEM WHICH HE KNEW WHAT WAS WRONG IMEDIATELY. PLEASE DO SOMETHING BEFORE ALL THESE TRUCKS WITH THIS STEERING AND BRAKE PRO
