| Description of the problem | I recently purchased a 2015 f250 super duty. It was a clean title no accidents. Shortly after purchasing the truck i was driving between 43 -55 mph on a county road when my steering wheel and in fact the entire truck started shaking so violently i was having trouble maintaining control. I managed to slow down quickly and it stopped. After several more occurrences all at the same speeds i took my truck to a specialty wheel and alignment shop and paid nearly 1,000 dollars to have this fixed. After new bushings, new tires, new shocks, new steering and new alignment it abated for 3 months. It is now back and as scary as ever. I had a 2004 f250 super duty and never had this kind of issue. I have now learned this is a known problem that ford will not acknowledge or even recall. I may have to sell this truck because of the danger to the rest of my family. There is also a class action law suit over this known and very dangerous problem. Please look into this before more money and more damage is caused. If you have not been in a truck that does this come to texas and take a ride with me. I promise it will scare you into action. This has been my problem since march. It is always on rougher roads or after hitting uneven pavement. |
