SUSPENSION
ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS THE TRUCK AFTER TRAVELING 6 TO 10 MILES AT 70+ MILES PER HOUR WOULD START TO VIOLENTLY SHAKE AND IT WOULD NOT STOP UNTIL YOU CAME TO A COMPLETE STOP. IT STARTED OUT DOING IT ONCE A WEEK BUT GOT PROGRESSIVELY WORSE UNTIL IT WAS DOING IT EVERY DAY. IT HAS BEEN TO THE DEALER ON 8/5/99, THEN AGAIN THE WEEK OF 8/23 THROUGH 8/27/99, AND RETURNED AGAIN 9/14/99, THEY CALLED ME BACK THEY COULD NOT GET IT TO DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM. I RETURNED TO THE DEALER ON 9/16/99 AND TOOK THE SERVICE MANAGER FOR A RIDE AND JUST LIKE BEFORE AFTER TRAVELING 7 MILES AT 72 MILES PER HOUR THE TRUCK BEGAN TO VIOLENTLY SHAKE WITH HIM BEING THE THIRD WITNESS BESIDES MYSELF. THE TRUCK IS STILL AT THE DEALERSHIP AS OF 10/27/99 AND I THINK IT NEEDS TO BE FILED AS A LEMON UNDER THE NC GENERAL STATUTE 20-351, SO THAT NO ONE ELSE ENDS UP WITH IT OR GETS HURT OR KILLED IN AN ACCIDENT.
