| Description of the problem | I own a 2006 f250 diesel truck that shakes violently when you hit even the smallest of potholes. It shakes so violently that you have to come to a complete stop, regain control, and then resume driving. This is especially hazardous on the small county roads we live on, and when you have to come to a complete stop on the freeway. We have tried to get it fixed at the dealership, where they assure us that nothing is wrong with this dangerous death trap. I refuse to allow my husband and my son get into a vehicle that will shake violently out of control into oncoming traffic, into a ditch, or off a bridge. I am ashamed that ford would be aware of this issue, and not recall this problem vehicle as there are many others out there with the same problem. I am furious that i spent $48,000 on a truck that has 26,000 miles on it and has been in the shop 3 times to have the same problem fixed, so it is completely useless to me, not to mention a danger to my family's well being. What is it going to take for ford to admit their trucks are a hazard? How many people are going to have to die or be severely injured before they address this pressing issue??? |
