| Description of the problem | In driving my ford f-250 pick-up, i have experiences severe vibrations/oscillations at high (over 60mph) speeds. This occurs when the truck runs over a small imperfection in the road. These oscillations are quite severe - forcing emergency leave change/loss of control. When the truck slows down to about 40, the oscillations cease. This shaking is so severe it has damaged the paint on the hood due to the hood sloshing back and forth. It is definitely life-threatening. The ford dealer is at a loss, they do not know what to do. |
