Example complaints

“When my truck hits a bump at 40-60mph, my truck begins to go into a death wobble where the steering wheel and tired shake uncontrollably until I stop the vehicle. I have spent a ton of money trying to remedy the problem. I have had my truck in and out of the dealership trying to fix it with no resolve. I have a video to send you but this website only accepts photos and documents.”
