| Description of the problem | I own a 2006 f-250 ford truck. While driving on the interstate the front end of the truck started violently shaking. I almost lost control and could have been killed. This happened yet again the very same day. I took my ford truck to the ford dealership in boone and was told there was nothing wrong with my truck. They claimed it was probably due to low air pressure in the tires. After researching this problem on my own i discovered that this is quite a common problem and many many ford truck owners are curious as to why nothing has been done. After clearly telling the ford dealership that i will not accept my truck back until it has been fixed, they reveal that they do have a service bulletin about this problem and reveal to me that ford told them to change the air pressure in these trucks. This does not correct this dangerous and potentially life threatening problem! These trucks need to be recalled and have their steering dampners replaced! After five days of arguing with the ford dealership i have yet to get my truck back. I demanded a letter stating that my ford truck would be safe and that they would be liable in the event of my death due to this problem that no one will take care of! I have yet to receive their answer. |
