| Description of the problem | Was traveling on the expressway at approx. 70 mph and went over an uneven spot in the road. The truck went completely out of control and began hopping up and down and back and forth. It was all i could do to keep my hands on the steering wheel until i could break to about 30 mph and pull to the side of the road. Friends in the car in back of me said my tires were leaving the road and they had never seen anything like that in their life. This has happened before but not to this extent. I looked up the problem and have found that it is not an isolated case and now am very weary of driving this truck. I will take this truck to the dealer and see what they can do but i feel ford should pick up the bill on my $40,000 truck. |
