| Description of the problem | Severe suspension and steering wheel shimmy after hitting uneven road surface, doing about 55mph. The shaking is so back it throws things out of the visor and stuff off of the seat on to the floor. Today was the second time this has happen. This is a 2005 f250sd with 20789 miles on it and this is just starting to do this. Both times this happen had enough road shoulder to pull over and stop. If this happen on a narrow shoulder freeway bridge or concrete barrier i would probably hit someone or something. Ford needs to do something about this before someone dies, then there will be law suits. |
