Example complaints
Steering: “The front cab of the truck starts shaking like a tire fell off. I had the truck to the dealership a few times and have changed the tires and other front end parts, I've changed every part that the dealer told me to change and I'm still having the problem. I started looking the problem up online and found that this is a common problem that people are having and they don't know what to do to fix it.”
