| Description of the problem | My 2004 ford f150 vibrates. The dealer has mad e four attempts at repairs with no success. Currently, the vehicle will suddenly start to vibrate severely at freeway speeds, and the only way to stop the vibrations is to slow down to 20 to 25 mph. Slowing down this much on the freeway is unsafe it could cause an accident. When this severe vibration starts, it's as if something is about to fail in the driveline. As it is now, i have no confidence in this vehicle, and am reluctant to drive it. Vehicle was purchased new on 7-10-04, and now has 6770 miles.*ak |
