| Description of the problem | 3-13-09 i took my ford f-250 to the dealership i purchased it from due to a severe steering wheel and front wheel vibrations. This is causing severe shimmy and loss of control of the vehicle at approx 35-39 mph. They checked it out and told me that i needed to make sure my tire pressure is at 65 lbs at all times. They said they didn't find anything wrong other than the tire pressure was low and it took care of 85% of the shimmy. The shimmy has worsened sense i left the dealership and is now shimming violently at this time. I've sense received a letter about this problem from ford motor company and they are researching this common problem with the f-250 & f-350 models. |
