| Description of the problem | I would like to officially submit a complaint about our ford f250 super duty truck. There is something seriously wrong with it and the ford dealership has been unable to fix it. We have had the same issue with it for the last few years and the issue has not been resolved! We are experiencing turbulent wobbling with this truck and i can assure you this is not normal! The last incident occurred 2 days ago on may 26, 2013! I have children and feel that our lives were especially in danger when we rode in this truck as we thought this issue was resolved and no longer existed. As we were driving on the interstate highway we drove over an uneven section of the highway and our truck suddenly started shaking dangerously out of control! Thankfully my husband was able to control the steering wheel and stepped on the brake to slow it down, otherwise who knows what would have happened! There was traffic everywhere and we were lucky enough not to have an accident! Then it happened again a few hours later when we again drove over an uneven section of the interstate. I have experienced enough of these threatening episodes and i am very concerned as this is absolutely not normal and i can honestly say there is something very wrong with this vehicle. This is a safety issue and people can and will lose their lives over this if this is not resolved immediately! I have contacted ford headquarters to submit a formal complaint and they merely told me to continue working with the dealership that has unresolved my issue. I trust that you will take this complaint seriously as lives are at stake because of this issue. |
