| Description of the problem | Recently purchased a 2005 ford f-250. While driving from the dealership, i hit a small bump/expansion joint in the road that cause the front tires to bounced uncontrollably. I was traveling approx. 65 mph at the time. The vehicle shook completely out of control to the point that i could not control it. I slowed to approx. 30 mph before the bouncing stopped. A third party in the next land flagged me down and advised me that it looked as if the front tires were going to fly off. The occurred 2 more times that same day. Took vehicle back to dealer. Currently waiting for them to make corrections. They referred me to a technical service bulletin issued by ford. Problem supposed to be correctable. Waiting to see. |
