 Description of the problemI purchased a 2006 ford f250 extended cab diesel truck approximately eighteen months ago. I had the truck inspected by the local ford dealership and was told that the truck would qualify as a certified pre owned vehicle. I also purchased the premier level extended warranty offered by ford. Shortly after my purchase i noticed a significant from went shimmy that was felt in the steering wheel. Ford dealership replaced track bar. Truck was aligned and tires rotated. Since that time i have experienced what can only be described as a violent front end wobble that is precipitated by running over any significant road imperfection at any speed between 35 and 45 mph. The wobble becomes so severe that controlling the vehicle becomes nearly impossible unless the speed is reduced to approximately 25mph, at which time the wobble stops. I have experienced this on at least ten different occasions and i am certain that if my wife or teenage daughter had been driving the truck they would have been involved in a serious collision. I am in receipt of aletter from ford motor co. Advising me of other complaints relative to this wobble and advising me that i should scrupulously monitor my tire pressure. I have done as ford recommended, but despite this i have continued to experience the wobble. I have researched this problem on the internet and found numerous other consumers complaining of the same issue. Currently my truck is scheduled to return to the dealership in a few days and the service writer advises me that i may be eligible for a modified steering dampener that is the recommended factory repair and may correct the problem.
