| Description of the problem | The shimmy issue on my 2006 ford 250 pick up has never been resolved. I spent approx 6 months working with the dealership to try to resolve the issue . They eventually told me they have done everything that ford told them to do . This very dangerous problem still exists. I received a letter from ford that the problem was related to tire pressure. That is absolutely nonsense. After the second set of front tires before 10000 miles they started to cup severely after 1000 miles. I took it back and they put new tires on all the way around. And then i was told there was nothing else that could be done. The shimmy is so severe at times it will actually shimmy across the center line. |
