| Description of the problem | I received a notice from ford motor co. Regarding a shimmy or severe vibration that may occur when my ford f-250 ford truck travels over a bump or dip in the road. This has happened to me. At the time i had no idea what caused it. I was traveling at approx. 65 mph on a highway when i drove trough a dip in the road under an overpass. My truck went in a severe shimmy. I almost lost full control of the truck. Had there been a vehicle next to me in the left lane i would not have been able to avoid hitting it. I don't know what the psi of air in my tires were at the time. They were the stock tires that came with the truck off the lot. I have since changed these tires due to wear. This is a very serious issue and needs to be given a lot of attention. |
