| Description of the problem | Driving approximately 65 mph on a dry road 01/03/2020 i went over a slight rough spot in the road. The front wheels immediately began to vibrate severely. The steering wheel was shaking out of control. I hit the brakes to slow down to approximately 35 mph when the vibrating wheels and the shaking stopped. This is the fourth time this has happened to over the two and a half years i have owned this truck. In reading about other complaints i do not understand why ford is not addressing this problem. I am taking my truck to my ford dealer on monday to have them tell me what they are going to do about this issue. This could have easily caused an accident as the truck was violently shaking. People tend to panic and may have drastic reactions when something like this happens. We need to keep up the pressure on ford to recognize this problem and fix it before somebody gets hurt or killed. |
