  • One owner reported a hard right pull during a left turn that led to a crash, with the passenger front wheel found detached afterward.
  • An owner noted the steering wheel sat off-center by roughly 10-15 degrees and Lane Assist repeatedly overcorrected to the left trying to keep the truck centered.
  • One complaint describes the steering wheel becoming very difficult to turn in either direction at about 45 mph, accompanied by a soft brake pedal and multiple warning lights.
  • An owner reported a steering-assist failure followed by a coolant hose rupture that sprayed coolant onto electronics, leaving the truck inoperable.
