| Description of the problem | Loss of steering control during highway driving: when driving around a curve i experience a momentary loss of control of the steering wheel and front end. The steering wheel will actually move to the left without warning causing me to overcorrect to the right to keep the vehicle in the proper lane and direction. The issue is more pronounced going down or up hill around a curve. It also happens on uneven pavement. The 2017 truck has less than 8k miles and has been at the dealer twice to repair the issue. It is also more pronounced when towing a trailer which causes serious concern for our safety. The loss of control happens when driving above 45mph on highway or city street. The issue has not been fixed. |
