Truck starts swaying from side to side at highway speeds (62-72mph) steering is non-responsive when trying to correct the sway and then steering will catch immediately and the swaying gets worse. Have to slow to 40 mph to regain cntrol of the vehicle. Very dangerous when others around you are driving 65-76 mph. Happens when vehicle is in motion on the highway between 60-75 mph. This vehicle had 2 miles on it when purchased. All tires had the recommended air pressure in them. Problem is intermittant. This has happened multiple times.
