| Description of the problem | 2005 ford f250 crew cab super duty v10 triton. While driving at a speed above 30 mph and hitting some bumps on the road the truck will go into a violent oscillation where all the wheels hop up and down causing me to nearly loose control. The only way i have found to stop this severe wheel hop is to put the vehicle in neutral and quickly but safely get the vehicle below 10 mph (5 mph if left in gear). This usually happens at speeds about 50 mph but in two cases it has happened at slower speeds including once at right at 30 mph. I have had passengers including children in the vehicle when this has happened and they have all feared for their lives when it occurs. I find myself dodging bumps in the road at the risk of causing an accident myself to keep this from happening. I can't believe with as many people that i have found on the web that are complaining about this that nothing is being done about it. *nm |
