What owners wrote
Driver noticed that the front of the truck locked up on its own. Driver was unable to maintain control of the truck and hit a ditch. Then. Driver took vehicle to the dealer for inspection, and mechanic determined that the problem could not be duplicated, and the vehicle was operating as designed.
Truck bounces. GM replaced with same results. Replaced with aftermarket monroe gas magnums which helped some. Suspension is still weak. Transmission slips while driving. Informed dealer who said transmission guy was not in that day. Will contact the dealer again.
