| Description of the problem | My new f150 has a terrible shudder in the steering wheel for the first 10 miles after the car is started. If it is cold out, it is very difficult to control the vehicle above 50 mph. Ford has replaced the tires, but they replaced them with the same pirellis and it did not help. *jb |
