| Description of the problem | Our company has 2 ford f250 4x4 trucks (2006 & 2007)the 2006 shakes uncontrollably/violently when hitting bumps in the road. This condition has happened since we purchased the vehicle 7/05. The vehicle has been driven by several employees that have experienced this uncontrollable shake and they have all reported that the vehicle shakes so bad in the front end that they refuse to drive it again for fear of their life or someone else's. After several complaints to the dealer we took the vehicle out of service and warned the ford dealership in writing. The dealer changed the tires and sent us out the door but the truck feels no different and they told us again it had been repaired. The 2007 has been ok until recently it started the same shake and we have the same feelings about it --since we have been through heck with the 2006. Searching on the internet has been an eye opening experience--the same complaints are posted from fl. All the way to calif. And it seems from our reading that most of the complaints are being avoided or shoved off as tire size or tire pressure. |
