| Description of the problem | I was simply driving down the hwy and hit a small bump in the road, my truck began to shake uncontrollably and continued to do so until i slowed way down. I made it to the next exit and dropped it off at the local ford dealership. It startled me so much that i didn't want to drive it like it was. This is the third time this has happened but the first two times were not as extreme. The dealer so far has told me they think it is tire pressure but im not buying it.. I searched for recalls and found none but i found a lot of complaints about the same or similar problem. I don't know what the problem is but it is definately very dangerous and should be looked at for a possible recall. If there had been more traffic i could have caused an accident as it was a very violent shaking. |
