| Description of the problem | Ford f-250 superduty- while driving at 55mph or higher,and you hit a small pothole or dip in the road, this vehicle goes into a violent shimmy. The vehicle is uncontrollable and extremely dangerous. I won't let any of my family members ride in the truck with me and cringe at the thoughts of having to drive it on the interstate! It has shaken me off the road and into the ditch or median several times. |
