| Description of the problem | When driving highway speeds i never know when the front end is going to violently shake so bad that i can't see out the rear view mirrors to even know who is around me when my truck is completely out of control. I can't believe someone has not died yet! It's not if, but when. A joint in the road, pot hole, or just a pavement irregularity causes it, but i never know when. I've asked service and sales techs at both phil long ford/littleton, co and lakewood ford/lakewood, co and received the same line of crap, that i'm the first person who ever mentioned it. Check my tire pressure is what i'm told. All i had to do was google the problem and i found a seemingly endless list of complaints of the exact same problem. This site was already aware of the problem because when i went to select the "failed components", steering was already highlighted. This is a $50,000 truck i'm afraid to do the speed limit in. Loaded or unloaded, pulling a trailer or not, the problem can present itself. How many complaints or deaths does it take before ford is held responsible for this defect? *kb |
