| Description of the problem | I recently bought this truck like 4 or 5 months ago. I was on a back road nm185 going 55 and all of a sudden the truck started shaking uncontrollably and i couldn't steer it. The truck went into the other lane. Thankfully i was able to get control back before a vehicle was in front of us in the other lane. It was a very close call and extremely scary. I had children in the truck that were especially scared. We went 40 the rest of the way home without more issues. I later had the truck taken to a shop where they said the track bar and tie rod ends needed to be replaced which of course aren't covered in my warranty. This is a major safety issue and was very fortunate that it didn't happen when in a high traffic area. |
