Description of the problem | As i was driving on the highway at highway speed, all of the sudden after going over a rough patch of road, i experienced a severe rattling and loss of control. I had to come to a complete stop on the highway and nearly caused a multiple car pile up. A week later, i had the same thing. This time as i was approaching highway speed getting on to the highway. After coming to a complete stop, this caused another accident on that highway that i was not involved in but was a direct result of my having to slow to a stop due to this incident. After this, i looked online and it appears that this has been a problem with ford super duty trucks since 2006 and has caused more than one accident and possible fatalities. This is a fairly common problem as well. The truck is less than 3 years old, and has less than 36,000 miles on it. |
