“Problems with steering on 1995 Chevrolet C3500 crew cab pickup. While traveling on the highway, the steering wheel started to vibrate then moved from side to side. The consumer felt that he was going to lose control of the vehicle. As the consumer slowed to stop, it was difficult to hold the steering wheel as it rocked back and forth from side to side. The front end of the vehicle obviously swayed back and forth as well. When the consumer was able to inspect the vehicle, he found that the driver's side front tire had ballooned along with sidewall and tread damage.”
