| Description of the problem | I just received from ford another notice about the out of control shimming that takes place concerning the 2005 f- 250 . Ford has does nothing to correct this problem other than to blow smoke at everyone about the tire pressure. Since i bought this unit new, the tire have always been corrected to the proper amount or the correct tires been replaced. Still this issue takes place . Its an unbelievable terrifying shaking that takes place , and only stops when the truck gets to about 20-25 miles an hour. This occurred most recently, last that a car following me , pulled me over to tell me how it looked from the rear, to the point the person behind me was fearful for their safety as well. I refuse to let any member of the family drive this truck ,other than myself. There is certainly more to this issue than what ford is making out to be and all ford wants to do is blow smoke at us about the tire pressure. I've tried to sell this unit to no avail, as the dealers don't want to touch this unit and others have checked on line to have found out about it and asked me about it , and wanting to be honest i told them about it. So now i have a truck that i can't even sell at a deep discount. Thanks ford. |
