| Description of the problem | I have owned my 2006 ford sd since december 2008. Shortly after winter during high way driving i experienced violent shaking in the front end after hitting a pot whole. I nearly lost control of the vehicle which could has caused a serious accident. I received a notice from ford explaining that i need to keep the tire pressure at the recommended level or it would cause the shaking. But the air pressure did not correct the problem. I became too afraid to drive this vehicle on any express ways and limited driving it in town and non-expressway roads. After a year and a half this violent shaking, i had to buy another vehicle because i became to afraid this vehicle would cause a serious accident. I still own this vehicle but i only trust it in town driving. |
