| Description of the problem | While driving down the highway at speeds in excess of 60 mph, the car will start to shake violently! It is forceful enough that you loose complete control of steering and loose the ability to maintain your same lane. The shaking is so violent that i am afraid to put my daughter in the car. I can't imagine if this happened in a construction zone or traffic. I am thankful no one else was on the road. The only way to stop this violent shaking is to slam on the brakes and slow down. This affected the traffic behind me as i was in the left lane. The person behind me almost ran into the back of me because we were going from 65 mph to about 30 mph within a couple of seconds. This happened to my truck about a year ago when it had 35,000 miles on it. Ford recognized the problem and they replaced the entire steering wheel column and tires. That was just a temporary fix. I traded my first 2008 f-250 sd in for a new truck for having the same issues. I am to the point where this is getting way to dangerous to be on the roads not only for my safety, but my families and other drivers safety as well. It is a known issue and something needs to be done. There have been over 75 formal complaints on this issue thus far with this make model and year. Does it take causing an accident for it to be investigated? |
