What owners wrote
While traveling about 55 MPH on highway vehicle pulled sharply to left and struck dividing wall. No prior warning before incident. Driver was wearing seatbelt. There were no passengers. Driver's side airbag deployed. Insurance company was notified. Tires were intact. Driver sufffered minor injuries.
While driving, especially at high speeds (40-65 MPH), if road is bumpy, or uneven, the truck begins to wobble from side to side. You have to immediately let off of the gas to get it under control. It's getting worse, and feels unsafe to continue to drive, unless I slow down and get the wobble under control.
