| Description of the problem | As you're driving, regardless of where-when you come across a bump in the road, hole, speed bump, railroad tracks, etc.; the entire front end of the truck jumps. The steering wheel moves completely from your hands. This has caused several very close encounters while driving down the highway. The truck jumps and shimmies from side to side. This happens every time you drive, regardless of the speed. The car dealer said it was a result of leakage in the seals with the shocks. However, there is still a problem. |
