Filed Nov 2, 2015 · Body, Suspension · 73,000 miles · MA

Excessive frame rust, which to date the vehicle only has 73,000 miles. The rust is so bad I will probably stop driving, until I can find a good frame. Large layers are coming off, and can be just crumbled. The rest of the truck is mint, the under body still looks new, the frame is ouch!, not just local areas, the whole frame structure.

Filed Feb 1, 2005 · Suspension · 120,000 miles · TX

I doing research I noticed another common complaint from others about something I am also experiencing. When traveling at high speeds, my steering wheel will jerk. For instance, when I am changing lanes, my steering wheel will jerk, causing the wheel to turn more than I want to. This causes a real sharp turn, and I am afraid that I will one day lose control and flip my vehicle with my children inside with me. Is there something I need to do to fix this? I also submitted a complaint about ABS failure and want to know if there is something I can do about that, also.
