Complaint Summary

STEERING

Owner Narrative

TRUCK IS VERY HARD TO CONTROL AT HIGHER SPEEDS AND I PULL A HORSE TRAILER. VERY AFRAID OF WHAT CAN HAPPEN IF TOTAL STEERING CONTROL IS LOST WHILE TRAVELING WITH MY HORSES. IT WOBBLES AT SPEEDS AROUND 45 AND OVER AND FEELS LIKE IT WANTS TO JUMP OFF THE ROAD OR INTO ANOTHER LANE ON HIGHWAY. I REPLACED THE ENTIRE FRONT END AND PROBLEM STILL EXISTS. SEEN MANY POSTS WITH IDENTICAL ISSUES AS MYSELF. I JUST WANT THE PROBLEM TO BE RESOLVED. IT ONLY HAS 144,000 MILES ON IT. DO WE HAVE TO WAIT UNTIL A DEATH FOR THIS ISSUE TO BE RESOLVED??
