| Description of the problem | While driving on any highway if you hit a small bump or go over an overpass at a speed greater than 35mph the suspension and front wheels start shaking violently and the steering will lose control. You have to come to a complete stop before it will stop. The violent wheel and suspension oscillation can cause the driver to lose control. Since this occurs on major overpasses and turns it has an increased likelihood of causing accidents which could result in serious injury or death. The steering and suspension issue could cause severe injury or death. The nhtsa must investigate this issue with ford immediately or it will result in highway accidents that could result in serious injury or death. There is an overwhelming amount of consumer complaints and data to suggest the issue is widespread and that there was a design flaw in the suspension and steering of these vehicles. A federal investigation is needed along with a manufacturer recall of the dangerously defective suspension and steering assemblies of these vehicles. |
