| Product type code | VEHICLE |
| Description of the problem | This is a suspension problem that i noticed about 9 months after i bought the veh., (2006 ford f-250sd). The problem is in the suspension. It seems to only happen when you go over an area of the road that is rough. It has gotten progressively worse. I was driving at 60 mph and went over a bumpy area on the highway and i almost lost control of the truck. It pulled hard to the left and began shaking heavily. If i had not been holding the wheel firmly i would have crossed the double yellow line into oncoming traffic. I found a site where there were 11 other complaints on this same veh. And the same problem. I have owned f250's including my last that was a 2002 and i never had a problem like this. Its apparent that there is something wrong with the suspension system they used. If someone is driving that hasn't experienced it they may loose complete control of the vehicle and cause a fatality. I am going to take it to a ford dealer to look at, but from what i read of the other complaints some people have been in 3-4 times and still have the same problem. |
