| Description of the problem | Traveling on interstate highway 40 speed 65 mph my 2011 ford f-250 crew cab superduty experienced an extremely violent shaking of vehicle front end which came very near to complete loss of control. The only way to stop the shaking was to hit the brakes hard and drop down to 20 mph or so before the shaking stopped-dangerous on a high speed highway. Looked it up when i returned from trip and apparently this is a fairly common problem. Suggested fixes of alignment, shock replacement and tire balancing did not work-still experience the problem about once a month-always in a straight line and speeds between 55 and 70 mph. Bumps in the road make it more likely to happen. Date below is the last time it occurred-it has happened about 10 times in the last year. |
