| Description of the problem | I was driving the 2005 f-250 with 12000 miles at 65 mph on the highway when i hit some bumps and the truck went in to a violent shaking witch made it very hard to steer and stop. The shaking would not stop until i could get into the break down lane and come to a stop. The next day i brought vehicle to ford and, they said the tires had 65 psi, and should have 75 psi. If 10 psi caused that violent shaking what would 20 psi do. I strongly felt these truck were not safe. If the speed were higher or the road conditions were different during rain, snow, etc i might not be so lucky. I got the truck back today from ford , and they told me if it happened again to bring it back , that mad e me feel real good. I am still not going over 50 mph any time soon. *ak |
