| Steering problems |
Upon starting the vehicle I get precollision not available warning light and hill decent control fault hill assist warning. Service steering and antilock brake brake fault lights. The dealer has looked at it but they said can not duplicate it. The problem is when I am towing my fifth wheel trailer and this happens it shuts down the brake controller for the fifth wheel and it’s very hard to stop the truck and trailer.
Death wobble: while driving approximately 60 mph over a bridge and construction zone over rough pavement the steering oscillated rapidly and I drifted into another lane applied the brakes causing other vehicles to swerve and emergency brake. This occurred [xxx] in denver colorado.
Driving down the highway at a speed of 70,truck began to vibrate uncontrollably changed lanes. Continue to vibrate uncontrollably in the front of the truck. Pulled safely to side of road. Expected to see flat tires. No flat tires. Turn truck off. Turn truck back on no issues again. I believe this was my first experience with the death wobble.
