| Description of the problem | Driving my 2006 ford f250 super duty crew cab 4x4 at highway speed of 70 mph the trucks front end began to vibrate and bounce uncontrollably after going over an uneven section of bridge. The vibration was so bad i thought the front end of the truck was going to tear itself apart. As i began to slow the truck down and get out of the normal traffic lanes the vibration and bouncing did not finally subside until about 35 mph. While this occurred with my entire family in the truck i was fearful of what may happen and when it may happen again as we were still several hours from our home. A few miles later we crossed another bridge this time doing 65 mph and the front end began to vibrate again but stopped much quicker than before once i decreased to 45mph. This issue is rampant on the vehicle reporting websites and will eventually get someone killed. I pray ford decides to finally investigate and offer some factual evidence and a permanent solution to the problem so many drivers are experience with these trucks. I love my ford truck but not at the cost of losing my life or cause injury to someone else. |
