What owners wrote
I was traveling along I-40 going about 75 miles per hour around a slight curve to the left when I hit a small bump. The entire front end of my truck began to shake violently. The truck became very difficult to control as the steering wheel was ripped out of my hands. I pulled a muscle in my arm trying to regain control the first time it happened. The shaking went away as soon as I slowed down to about 68MPH, and did not return as I accelerated further. This began happening on 11/12/2019 at approximately 38k miles.
I took the truck to the dealer after I noticed the TPMS was malfunctioning after about 4,000 miles and 3 months of operation. The TPMS originally showed a dramatic fault in one tire, but later showed faults in three. The readings changed continually from tire to tire and sometimes were as low as 40 psi in some tires. The dealer replaced 1 sensor but could not get the TPMS to calibrate. I returned the next day after the dealer obtained two more new sensors.
