| Description of the problem | 2006 ford f 250 super duty front end bounces dangerously. August 2007 the truck did this 2 times while traveling on i25 in new mexico. Between 9/21/07 and 9/23/07 this happened 9 times while traveling. The truck bounces out of control and moves across traffic lanes. Endangering everyone's lives traveling on the road. I found over 138 cases of this reported to ford and their response is to bill the customer for a repair that has not worked in almost all of the repairs some people have taken their vehicles to ford several times after the dealer made and then charged them for the tsb repair. Ford is accepting no responsibility for this extremely dangerous situation. These vehicles 2005 on are unsafe to drive on the road. |
