 Description of the problemI bought my ford f150 4x4 flareside 2004 last november 30,2004. Drove it home,notice a strong vibration in the steering wheel and shaking of the whole truck at speed between 35-65 miles. I told the service manager about the problem who told me that they cannot do anything about it until they hear anything from ford headquarters. At 1800 miles, my truck shakes so bad that i felt like something massaging my calf muscles and my back, worse at speed of 55-65 mph. I have to either slow down or speed up to 70-75 mph to remedied the shaking. I have called ford customer service 3x and also been to the dealership for tire rotation and balance, then road force tire balance and then installation of a dampner. It did not worked! I called the dealership again 1/11/05. They cannot gave me a good way to fix the said problem. This is causing a lot of discomfort on my daily hour drive to work and anxiety of how safe am i on continuing to drive this build tough vehicle as advertised. I am planning to file a lemon to get my money back. Dispute settlement board is out of the option. *jb
