| Description of the problem | Hit a bump going across a bridge on i-74. The entire truck began to shake violently for several hundred feet before i regained control of the vehicle. This is evidently what ford is calling a " shimmy" . I had almost no control of the vehicle at this point. If the shoulder of the highway was any narrower i would not be here today. This happened again two days later. I was almost rear ended at a speed of 60 mph. I don't know what to do, i'm still making payments on a truck that is unsafe to drive. This "shimmy " is going to get people killed. |
