WE WERE DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY, AND JUST STARTED CLIMBING THROUGH THE MOUNTAINS, WITH OUR F350 TOWING OUR TRAILER. WE NOTICED A STRANGE SOUND FROM THE TIRES AND DECIDED TO PULL OVER AT THE NEXT EXIT TO CHECK IT OUT. BEFORE REACHING THE EXIT, THE DRIVERS SIDE REAR TIRE BLEW.

I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY AT AROUND 65MPH AND WENT OVER A EXPANSION JOINT ON A BRIDGE AND THE FRONT END OF THE TRUCK STARTED SHAKING SO BAD THAT IT RIPPED THE STEERING WHEEL OUT OF MY HAND. I HAD TO COME TO A COMPLETE STOP TO MAKE THE SHAKING STOP, I THOUGHT I HAD A FRONT TIRE BLOW OUT,NEARLY HIT THE CAR IN THE LANE NEXT TO ME. I TOOK IT BACK TO THE DEALER THEY PUT A NEW STEERING DAMPENER ON IT AND SAID TRY IT, BUT IT WILL PROBABLY NOT BE ANY BETTER, THEN THE NEXT FIX IS TO PUT ON A BIGGER STEERING WHEEL SO I CAN HOLD ON BETTER WHEN IT HAPPENS.
