it's been a known fact and on social media there has been many complaints, why is there nothing being done. this vehichle has a water or moisture problem which goes to the electric connectors and makes the vehichle go in to derate mode and only code it throws is peddle position sensor. which I have changes, and still no fix, as other connectors that are going to the electronic board removed, and it has corrosion. this is clearly a safety risk and it literally puts in a mode where a truck is not drivable.

I WAS TRAVELING STRAIGHT ON OHIO TURNPIKE WITH MY FAMILY WHEN ALL OF A SUDDEN THE TRUCK TIRES STARTED TO FEEL WEIRD. I TRIED TO SLOW DOWN A LITTLE BY PUMPING MY BREAKS, BUT THE WHEEL GAVE A SHARP PULL TO THE LEFT FOR NO REASON. I WAS TRAVELING APPROX 60-70 MPH WHEN I FELT A STRONG PULL TO THE LEFT HAND SIDE AND MY SEAT STARTED TO VIBRATE. I COULDN'T CONTROL THE STEERING AND INFORMED EVERYONE IN THE VEHICLE AT THAT TIME THAT WE WERE GOING TO CRASH. I AM POSITIVE THAT THIS DEFECT IN THE STEERING/BREAKING SYSTEM RESULTED IN A MAJOR ACCIDENT. IF THAT'S NOT BAD ENOUGH, MY AIR BAGS NEVER DEPLOYED AND I WAS INJURED AS A RESULT OF THE MVA. 7 PASSENGERS WEARING SEATBELTS. VEHICLE TOTALED. DAMAGED GUARD RAIL. SUBMITTED A DEFECT CLAIM RIGHT AWAY. I'VE DRIVEN SUVS SINCE I WAS ISSUED MY LICENSE AND NEVER ONCE HAVE I EVER FELT OUT OF CONTROL. IT WAS LIKE SLOW MOTION. I KNEW I WAS GOING TO CRASH AND THERE WAS NOTHIN G I COULD DO TO STOP IT. I HAVE SINCE BEEN AWARDED THE OHIO STATE TROOPERS AWARD FOR SEAT BELT SAFETY. I'VE REQUESTED AN INSPECTION OF THE VEHICLE. ONLY AFTER THE ACCIDENT HAD IT BEEN BROUGHT TO MY ATTENTION THAT THE RIGHT TIRE HAD RECENTLY BEEN REPLACED. VEHICLE HAS SINCE BEEN RECALLED. I'M CERTAIN SOMETHING MALFUNCTIONED AND THAT'S WHY WE CRASHED. WE DROVE FROM MA TO MN AT THE END OF AUGUST TO ATTEND THE STATE FAIR, THE ACCIDENT OCCURRED AFTER LEAVING MN ON OUR WAY BACK HOME TO MA. ACCIDENT WAS WITNESSED. I WAS NOT CITED OR ISSUED A TICKET. NOT MY FAULT. JUST NEED SOMEONE WHO SPECIALIZES IN DEFECTS TO CONFIRM MY ALLEGATIONS. INCLUDED IN POLICE REPORT AS WELL AS MOTOR VEHICLE INSURANCE CLAIM
