| Description of the problem | I have a 2006 f-250 super duty with only 17,000 miles, from the day i picked it up new at the dealer i notice that every time i hit a rut or bump in the road there was huge vibrations in the rear end and very near losing control. Recently i was traveling on a major interstate at approximately 80 mph and all of a sudden the front end felt like both wheels were coming off and the steering wheel was shaking so violently i nearly lost control. I was beside an 18 wheeler and i thought this would probably be my last day but somehow i got it back under control. Can't tell you how nervous i was but you can imagine. I called our local ford dealer today and he said sounds like something terrible is wrong, we'll see what the outcome is. Everything i've read on this says ford doesn't think they have a problem, from the stories out there i disagree. |
