While driving at 60 mph, the truck began shaking violently and it was extremely difficult to steer. Once i reduced my speed down to about 30 mph the truck came under control again. This has now occurred on three separate occasions. I had it into a dealership the first time and they found nothing. Going in to a different dealership tomorrow as there is something wrong. This is a definite safety issue.

I have contacted the dealer on 3 occasions to have the r46/nhtsa 15v-541 safety recall corrected and they continue to state they have no estimation of when they will have the parts to correct this hazard. I use my truck to haul an rv and i am concerned that this part could fail during towing. This issue is causing me to not use my truck for its intended purpose.

Ships from the factory with drag link adjuster retainer nuts that do not fit properly and are not fastened tightly.
