| Description of the problem | While traveling at highway speed i hit a bump and the vehicle began to violently shake. I had to pull the vehicle off the road to gain control. Continued down the highway and vehicle struck another pot hole and vehicle again went into a violent front end shake. I agian had to pull to the side of the highway to gain control of the vehicle. The nhtsa need to go to the ford forum and read the stories about the front end wobbles, shimmy, and shaking by the f250 and f350s, ther are many near miss incidents that if they occur these vehicles are to big for the individuals in the opppsite lanes to survive. The issue started at about 6000 miles on the truck and has gradually gotten worse. I have taken the truck to the dealership for repair at 14,000 miles and at 20,000 miles with no fix provided. |
