| Description of the problem | Driving 60 - 65mph,when i ran over dips or bumps in the hwy my steering wheel and front end started shaking and shimming violently and it was extremely difficult to maintain control of the steering wheel. I did not apply brakes but did take foot off gas pedal and when truck speed reached 40mph violent shakes stopped. This is not an isolated incident however it does not always happen over all bumps or dips. It just happened today feb-19 2017 when we were pulling our horse trailer at a speed of 62mph. This truck only has 50,200 miles so it should not be worn out. I can not believe that the ford engineers do not know about this problem since it is so dangerous and could cause someone to loose control which would be disastrous when pulling a horse trailer like we do. I will take it to the ford dealer however i bet they will charge me hundreds of dollars to try to fix whatever ails this truck which i believe is unfair since ford hires top engineers to build safe trucks. |
