“I got a stabilitrak failure chime and message with a reduced steering assist message and I lost my power assist for a second then it came back. I was fortunate that it was just myself in the truck going slow and pulling into a parking lot. I'd hate to think of my wife behind the wheel going down the freeway with my grand kids inside.”

“Stabilitrek flashes and then vehicles steering locks up and the truck dies. Usually it's when I'm going slow and usually it's when I'm turning. This is happening now in august of 2020 but also happened a few years ago and then there was a recall. It's very dangerous. No warning and the truck dies very unexpectedly. Please fix this problem I see others are complaining too”

“Started making a turn and the truck instantly shut off leading to power steering loss causing me to end up in the opposing lane almost hitting two children and their father on bikes. Father didn't have much patience with me trying to explain that it was a problem with the truck... Fix this issue or else it will become a huge liability. Buy back all of these trucks and crush them.”
