| Description of the problem | I purchased a ford f250 from a dealership, i believe after doing my research that this model has a defect in it and is to dangerous to drive. If i drive over 45 mph and i hit a pothole or a bump it violently shakes to the point where we feel we are going to tip over. We have to come to a complete stop for it to stop shaking and when you are on a freeway that is very dangerous. Ford does not seem to care about this issue and has not been able to fix it. I spent a lot of money on this vehicle and am afraid to put my 3 children in the car. Do i have to wait for someone to die for ford to handle it. I have found 1000's of people with the same problem and want to know if there is anything you can do to help us fix this. *jb |
