| Description of the problem | While driving with the cruise control set at 78 mph (speed limit 80 mph) on i-80 between salt lake city, ut and wendover, nv, i went over a rough patch of road on a turn and the vehicle began to shake violently. The steering wheel was shaking back and forth rapidly and i was unable to maintain my lane through the turn. The shaking continued until i was able to slow to around 20 mph. If there would have been traffic around me i am convinced there would have been an accident. My wife, 4 year old daughter and new born son was in the vehicle. I searched nhtsa for a safety recall on the steering for ford superduty pickups but found nothing but complaints about this issue. If this is not a recall worthy safety issue then i do not know what is. I no longer trust this truck to safely transport my family. I have maintained this vehicle well and it has only 36,000 miles on it. |
