| Description of the problem | At highway speeds 50-70mph driving over a pothole or bridge expansion joint. Usually if the right front tire hits first it sends the truck into an extremely violent shaking with loss of steering control. The tires start bouncing so hard that they leave the pavement. It will yank the steering wheel out of your hand if you are not paying attention. The only way to regain control is to brake hard down to about 30mph. This is ridiculously dangerous in so many ways. I can not believe there is not a recall on this. With a little research on the internet you will find there are numerous similar complaints about the front end of the 2006 ford f250 i have the proper tires with proper inflation i had a new steering gear box put on with a new power steering unit the problem is becoming more frequent i just got back from a 300 mile trip this happened 8-10 times and if traffic patterns were any different this potential recall would have killed my whole family and somebody else's! P. S. There are numerous people out there who have spent thousands of dollars trying to fix this engineering flaw without any success. |
