What owners wrote
I was driving on the highway when the front end of my truck began to violently shake including the steering wheel! I was going 65 MPH and I could barley hold onto the steering wheel it was shaking so violently! Both of my wrists are swollen and bruised as well as my right thumb. My nail on my right thumb is cracked and bruised as well as a result of holding onto the steering wheel as hard as I could. I immediately slowed down as soon as I could but I swerved into the other lane and then into a ditch.
General driving at freeway speeds drove over highway overpass that had a slight bump. After vehicle suspension reacted to the bump, it went into a violent steering wheel shake that would not stop until the truck was pulled to the side of the road and stopped. Violent shake also happens when applying the brakes from higher speeds to a stop at random times. The recent occurrence happened while ramping onto a highway and applying brakes to negotiate a curve.
