| Description of the problem | Driving along at about 45 mph, hit a rough patch of pavement and the front end of the truck began to bounce and the steering wheel began to oscillate back and forth, although the truck did not go left or right from the line of travel. After slowing down the truck came back under my control, bounce and oscillation stopped. This has happened numerous times (weekly), with the original tires and with replacement tires. I have had the front end aligned and tires balanced. I check the air pressure weekly. All of this had no affect on the oscillations. I would drive over the same areas daily andcould continue to repeat what had happened by driving the same speed over the same piece of bad pavement. It is no worse or better than when it first happened. But having my wife drive the truck and have the same issue concerned me. I did research that led me to find out that this is a problem affects numerous f-250s and to your website. I wish i had complained about this when it began, but my truck was out of warranty and i thought i was out of luck (still may be). |
