| Description of the problem | I own a 2006 ford f250 super duty. It has just passed 16,000 miles on it. When i drive on a highway and hit a bump or pothole the front end of the vehicle begins to shake violently. It radiates through the whole vehicle and it becomes very hard to control and your only option is to slow down and wait for it to pass. I will no longer allow my children to ride in my truck as i feel it is very unsafe. This has happened on several occasions and appears to be getting worse. Ford sent out a bulletin to owners of these vehicles that we must change our tire pressure to 65 psi, but this still does not resolve the problem. |
