| Description of the problem | I have an '06 ford f-250. Everytime i hit a bump in the road or freeway the front end does what's known as the "death shake" according to research on the internet. Many of people are complaining of the same experience the more i did research on this matter. Mine along with everyone else has to slow down almost to a stop for the front end to stop shaking or it will send you into the oncoming lane and all have had very close calls. Ford dealer ships to my knowledge according to my local dealer ship (sunland ford) in victorville doesn't know the fix. They told me it was my steering dampener. Nope!! People are going to their dealerships multiple times. I paid well over $30,000 for my truck and this is very unacceptable. Thanks for your time and attention to this matter. |
