| Description of the problem | Driving down the freeway at about 70 mph, the front end began to shake/shutter violently. It freaked me out and i was convinced i blew a tire. I pulled over and investigated and nothing seemed broken and all tires appeared fine. I took the truck to a mechanic and he replaced the steering dampner, convinced that was the problem. A few days later i was driving down the freeway and it did it again. I didn't hit a pothole or any obstruction. When this happens, if i'm not paying attention or don't have both hands on the wheel, there is a serious risk i will cause a major accident as this rather large truck wants to go careening across multiple lanes of traffic until the speed is reduced to below ~40mph and the violent shuddering ceases. Ford needs to address this problem. I've seen complaints on this now that date over 10 years old. |
