| Description of the problem | Purchased a 2006 ford f-250 king ranch, 4x4, quad cab, 6. 0 diesel, auto trans. A few months ago. Never really drove on highway much until recently, i drive from nj to pittsburgh, pa every weekend (and back). Truck has an out of control front end shimmy... Can't drive over 55 mph or, if i do and hit a slight bump in the road, the trucks front end shimmies so bad, i can't see out the rear view mirrors they vibrate so bad from the front end shaking. The steering wheel takes all i have to keep it in my hands. This has got to be fixed, (((now!!))) an accident is definite, especially in the snow months!! Damage resulting = no damage.... Yet!! I have no choice but to drive this truck, i am in the military, serving on active duty and just can't go out and buy another vehicle! Ford needs to fix this asap. All toyota had was a bad accelerator and look how quickly they are fixing that!! Contact me = y. |
