| Description of the problem | Rear end of truck moves over and makes truck uncontrolable. This happens at speeds from 35 mph and up. On the highway at speeds of 70 mph, the rear end jumps up and down rapidly on the highways. Many times i have to slow down to 55 or 60 to get it back in comtrol. I fear an accident is very possible. This problem has been ongoing since purchase of the truck. The dealer tells me it is just a truck and i have to deal with it. This is my 5th truck to own, and it is the first one to behave like this. *ak |
