“My son drives this truck. The truck was purchased new in 2006 by my father in law. Today, while driving in a residential area, the wheel shook, my son heard a pop, and the left wheel separated from the barring thus skidding on the ground. The truck has been towed to a service center to be evaluated.”

“I purchased this vehicle from another man. The truck would steer off when it would hit a small bump or hole in the road. I took it to goodyear to see if it was something to do with the alignment and found out the whole front end suspension and everything attached to it needed to be changed. This happens when the truck is motion and have had to change and rotate the tires more than once within this year. There is wear on the front tires on the outside. I will have to change them again when we fix the alignment. This also happens on any street and is pretty scary when driving on the highway. …”
