| Description of the problem | I own a 2007 ford f250 super duty ext cab, i have been having problems with it shaking/ bouncing violently when i go through a pothole or run over a bridge seam when traveling over 60 mph. This has happened more than a dozen times under different load circumstances pulling a trailer, without a trailer, four adults in the cab only myself in the cab, with and without a load in the bed. I bought the truck new in may of 2007. There were several times i almost hit another vehicle in the next lane because of the steering wheel pulling right to left or the tires bouncing up and down and when i apply the breaks the tires skid at first. I have to slow down very fast and to a very slow speed to get it under control. I have had the vehicle a little over 2 1/2 years and it only has 25,000 miles. Ford sent out letters warning of this problem and said to make sure the tire pressure was correct and equal in the tires. I have done this and continue to make sure it is correct and the same. I have tried reducing the tire pressure incrementally from the 75psi recommended on the vin plate but that has not worked. |
