Truck wanders as if it has a mind of its own. With the steering wheel steady it wanders from left to right . We have had it in the shop 7 times since purchased and they align it each time with no change. Dealer told me at the time of purchase that he would take it back if I wasn't satisfied, but has now denied saying it.we have been through the review board process.they offered a replacement truck, but I was so afraid of getting another one that I just asked for a refund, which they refused. The gentleman that they sent to drive with me said that an alignment would not fix the problem, that it was a design problem. He said that it would be even worse if we had a heavy load in it. In his report however, he told the review board that all it needed was an alignment .the only time I drive the truck now is in an emergency situation as it is too stressful to drive on a regular basis..
