| Description of the problem | I brought my truck to the dealer because it pulled to the right and shuddered at 75mph. I had already had 3 alignments on it since i bought it. Dealer said it was due to the tire wear. Tires wore out at 27,000 miles. Dealer was shocked; it? S a new truck the tires should have lasted 40,000 miles. I got new tires but the truck still pulls right and now it is starting to shudder at 65mph. I have had a pull problem since day one. I have also noticed that the raido lights and all dash lights go out when the key is turned to the rear and giggled a bit. I am bringing the truck in to the shop again this week. I hope it can be fixed. |
