| Description of the problem | Front end steering begins to shimmy violently when a irregular bump or pothole or other road irregularity strikes one of the front tires at a speed of 45 mph or greater. Shimmy will not abate until brakes are applied to reduce speed below 35mph. The truck has less than 32k miles and is still under warranty. Ford dealer has no parts in stock to fix and has had the steering damper on back order for more than a month. This week in a rain/hail storm, the shimmy cause a lane deviation before speed could be reduced. No accident occurred but situation needs to be corrected asap. Local dealer san tan ford in gilbert az not very good at replying with updates when called weekly. Very frustrating. I |
