| Description of the problem | I bought a 2005 f250 crew cab and since about 25k miles my truck will wobble when i hit a bump at 45-60 miles per hour. The shack/wobble is so intense that you feel the front of the truck is going to loose the tires. This has happened about 6 times now and i know something is very wrong but ford will not do anything except tell me to check my tire pressure. Tire pressure is checked almost monthly on my truck and i know that is not the issue. It is hard to have re-create the issue with a tech, since it does not happen all the time. I am getting the run around with ford and have spent thousands of dollars trying to fix the problem myself. I know of other ford owners that have the same problem and ford refuses to do anything. |
