| Description of the problem | On several occasions while traveling over speeds of 55 mph, the vehicle shakes uncontrollably if you hit a flaw in the road, such as a bump. It has cause myself and wife to nearly lose control of the vehicle, fortunately there were no other vehicles close as on one occasion the truck changed lanes while shaking violently. I am a former truck mechanic and have never seen anything like this. The dealer has told us that there is no problem, yet i view this as a potentially life threatening issue, we have not driven the vehicle on the highway since the last episode. |
