| Description of the problem | Days after purchasing a used 2006 ford f250 4x4 diesel truck, i experienced a violent shaking/vibration while driving on an interstate in orlando, florida. I was traveling at approximately 65 mph when i drove over a segment of uneven pavement. The front end of the truck began to shake so violently that i had to quickly reduce speed on the far left (fast) lane of the interstate. A concrete barrier to my immediate left did not allow me to pull to the shoulder. Several vehicles traveling immediately behind me were forced to quickly change lanes so as to avoid a rear end collision. As i slowed to about 35 mph the shaking stopped. The same situation occurred days later when traveling on a city road at approx. 35-40 mph. Dealership instructed me to check psi in tires. Psi was too low & i inflated tires to psi as per vehicle tag on inside of driver door panel. Violent vibration occurred a third time within days of properly inflating tires. Am currently out of the country for work; will follow up with dealership upon return in approx. 2 weeks. |
