| Description of the problem | While driving at highway speed and pulling a 10,000lb camper west of columbus, oh on a straight portion of i-70w, i hit a groove in the pavement while in a construction zone. The truck began to shake so intensely that i could hardly maintain my grip on the steering wheel. There was no shoulder to speak of so i stopped accelerating and began to slowly apply the brakes in case it exacerbated the issue. The shaking did not subside until i reached 40mph. At that point, i continued on my way and returned home. Both before and since that issue, i have experience similar moments of shaking to a much lesser degree that i had earlier chocked up to the suspension being stiffer than i was used to. I have an appointment with a dealer to inspect the vehicle, but felt a report would be prudent due to dangerous nature of the malfunction at high speed. |
