Product type code | VEHICLE |
Description of the problem | Driving on freeway at 70 mph steering wheel started violently shaking, had to quickly slow down nearly causing an accident (almost rear ended). After slowing down steering went back to normal. The section of freeway is brand new concrete. The violent shaking has happened four additional times while traveling at 70 to 80 mph on a different types of road surfaces. It seems to happen when you come across a small bump (like going over an overpass when road surface changes). This scares the holy crap out of you hoping you can control the truck without being hit, due to the sudden slow down you have to do to get it under control. |
