| Description of the problem | The complaint i have is regarding the f-250 shimmy. I have battled this for 2 years. The violent rattle of the truck is going to get myself or someone hurt if not corrected. I would invite any doubters to drive my truck. At speeds of 65-70 mph, you have to come to a complete stop in-order for the vibration to stop. On interstate travel, it is not easy to get pulled over with traffic bearing down. The letter ford distributed yesterday is very telling, that they do not know how to fix, or do not want to spend the money for a recall. This violent vibration is a danger, and continues to worsen. Particularly with the terrible shape of today's infrastructure. Please help ford owners asap. |
