| Description of the problem | Have a 2004 f150 xl supercab. Have experienced several occasions where where truck would begin to shake violently. Speed does not seem to be a factor as it has occured when driving 30mph, as well as highway speeds. The "violent vibration" can last anywhere from 10 seconds to 15 minutes." vibration will then suddenly stop. Brought the truck in for service, repair technician could not recreate problem. When the truck was hooked up to the computer no errors appeared. Was told "sorry nothing we can do, because the problem did not appear when in for service." was told the next time the problem happens drive right into the service dept. Problem is i am never anywhere near the dealer, or the service department is closed whenever this problem happens. I am very unhappy, annoyed and frustrated.*ak |
