| Description of the problem | We have had about four occasions where our truck suddenly begins to shake and vibrate, cannot control the shimmy until you can slow it down under 30 mph. It happened three times at about 33,000 miles. Two times it was coming off bridge, hitting a steel channel at the junction and one time a large hole. All three times it was one wheel hitting the hole or depression before the other wheel hit. We took it to ford dealership..... No ideas there. They rebalanced the left tire and no more problems until today when it happened again when coming off a bridge. About 38,000 miles and it was the same thing. Cannot control the shimmy until the vehicle has slowed to about 30 miles per hour. Most frightening! I refuse to drive it again until this is figured out! Big, out-of-control truck is not my cup of tea. |
