What owners wrote
The truck I purchased has a max towing package that is supposed to safely tow 10,600# in crew cab configuration. I have a 28' pace daytona trailer that weighs under 8,000# as I tow it. At approximately 50 MPH, the truck has a very severe sway issue. It is frightening to drive as the trailer starts shifting the rear of the truck back and forth. I have not had an accident with the truck as yet, but I feel the situation is very dangerous.
My traction control light and ABS light came on and the messages to service both of these systems are in my information center. My brakes are now dragging the rotors due to this problem. This is a major safety concern and a recall needs to be implemented to correct this issue. This started while driving down the highway.
