| Description of the problem | Lose of steering do to poor design of ford f-250 and f-350 solid front axle with springs. From 2005 to present. I have new tires and rims,balanced,had front end checked for alignment, my truck like so many others are having sever front end shimmy do to the poor design on ford trucks. I have contacted legal advice from the advice of other government agencies. The attorney generals office,bbb, and the consumer protection agency. This is my second complaint about this matter, and im a little upset to keep getting the only response you and the ford co. Can come up with, tire pressure!!! Come on you know its the poor design of there front ends. I've spent thousands to help deal with matter to no better results. So from here i will seek legal help to protect my family and myself from possible severe injury or death. I hope ford motor co. Will fix the problem with there front ends of there f-250 and f-350 sd pickups from 2005 to present. I hope it doesn't take someone getting killed before ford says they need to fix there trucks. Like they did with there bad tire situation on ford explorer. |
