| Description of the problem | While driving down the road, hit a small pothole in the road and the suspension started to violently shake the truck along with severe steering wheel oscillations. No control of the vehicle until i could get slowed down enough to stop the oscillations. I have had this happen on my truck multiple times throughout the years at speeds anywhere from 30 to 60 mph and contrary to other reports listed on here, the tire pressure was correct and made no difference. I have put on aftermarket suspension and tires since the original time this happened and added a steering stabilizer which helped to keep this from occurring but it still happens on occasion. This problem was brought up to my dealer at the beginning and they said they could find no problems. The shaking and beating of the vehicle when this occurs is unbelievable. I fully believe this is what has caused me to have a broken rim, electrical issues, brake problems, and what i believe is a cracked turbo up pipe or something else that is allowing exhaust fumes into the cab. |
