Example complaints

Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.

“While our truck on a normal highway with minor irregularities and some rough surfaces at a speed of 60 to 70 MPH, the truck will start to oscillate to the point of inducing a violently steering wheel shimmy and an uncontrollable bounce of the front wheels. This has happened twice in the past 2-months when I have taken the truck on the highway. The truck is primarily driven in town, I am now scared to go on the road with the truck as the condition seems to be getting worse. I have to brake quickly and steer the truck to the side of the road to stop the oscillation. …”
