| Description of the problem | My wife and i were driving my 2006 f-250 super duty on hwy 95 when my truck felt like i was in an earthquake. It was the worst violent shaking i have ever felt in a vehicle. It felt like all four tires exploded. So i fought my steering wheel and brake pedals to slow the truck down to finally skidded off of the side of the road, while cars are going by us 70 plus mile per hour, everything inside the vehicle fell off of the seats the drinks in the cup holders went flying. After seeing that all four tires seemed fine and that we did not hit anything on the road, we were scared to death to drive again. After visited the ford dealership the next day, they are still trying to figure out what is wrong with the vehicle, they said it was the tire balance and pressure, but there is no way this would cause such a violent death shaking experience. After doing my own research, it seems there are thousands of people with the ford super duty that are having this same word for word problem. Please help me, before someone is killed by this ford mistake. I am scared to death to drive my brand new vehicle. Thank you very much. |
