Electronic Stability Control · Engine · Steering
Steering wheel springs/snaps (hard) in the opposite direction that the wheel is being turned and steering control is lost. When this does not shut the engine off, the only way to regain steering control is to restart the vehicle. When this does cause the engine to shut off the steering is restored with the restart. The stabili trak indicator appears just for an instant on the dic when this happens. Note: this is not…

The problem started while backing a trailer and turning. The stabiltrack light came on and the steering wheel jerked out of my hand. It happened a few more times and then the truck died. Later while driving the stabilitrack light would flash on and the dic would go black. The a.c. Would also go out and come back on. It would also do this when turning on the signal light or stepping on the brake pedal. I was in a…

The truck could be parked or moving. After a week the dealer finally diagnosed the problem as having a bad steering rack. The truck has 66000 miles on it and shouldn't have this issue in its current condition and mileage. The…

The truck has 43000 miles on it and it was definitely a safety issue. I read a…

Tires (twice), shocks and rear end were all replaced but did not stop vibration. 5 months from purchase we were followed by a neighbor and they saw my truck "dog tracking" (traveling sideways down the road). Dealer noted but would not follow at distance and speed required to…
