While driving the steering wheel will jerk to the side. This is very dangerous it wil really cause you to over correct and cause a very serious accident. I really would like to find out if this has been reported before or if there has been a recall on this particular model. Other than this problem we love the truck. Thanks for you consideration on this problem.
