| Description of the problem | Hello, i have a ford f 250 super duty king ranch 4x4 diesel that my wife and i always wanted. We bought from a used car/truck lot. The rims and tires are brand new as is alignment was also had done to fix the problem right out of the gate but it didn't.. When the truck gets to 44 miles an hour and up to 50 mph my f 250 hops land i don't know if its from the front or back but i think its happening in the front the way it feels on the steering wheel.. My truck steering wheel does not move back and forth like the tires are wiggling right and left , it is more like when you have a bad rim or uneven tire hop, like when i was a kid and couldn't afford tires and bought some used ones and get a bum tire in the set or maybe a rims that i had traded for and one was bad.. We love this f 250 and have put a lot of money into it, not knowing anything about diesel trucks, only loving the sound and power of them so the problems the dealership failed to point out or mention to us we have had all fixed properly and this hop or bounce that my f 250 is experiencing is really a worry to us seeing how we bought it to pull a travel trailer we purchased to explore this great u. S. A. So we will be constantly driving it attached to the trailer or not. I have replaced rims, tires and had an alignment as stated before and would really like to solve this problem which if you googled it and seeing alot ofl others experiencing this same problem and some even life threatening which worries me also if whatever the problem is, causes something to break or happen. I thank you for your time and concerns to remedy this safety hazard on ford super duty trucks.. [xxx] information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u. S. C. 552(b)(6). |
