| Description of the problem | While traveling on i-74 at 70mph we hit a road expansion joint (slight bump) on a bridge and the truck began to shake and wobble to the point i almost lost control and hit the bridge railing, i hit my brakes to try and control the vehicle when i was almost hit by a semi truck. I pulled off the interstate and stopped. I could find nothing wrong and continued on and again when i was doing 65mph i almost lost control of the truck when we hit another expansion. It shook so bad it almost pulled the steering wheel out of my hands. I got off to the side again almost causing a traffic crash. I fully stopped and then slowly drove off of the interstate and drove home on a secondary road and it was fine until i was on indiana 63 / us 41 i got the truck to 60 mph and it again shook violently when we hit a slight bump of an expansion joint. I am taking it to the shop tomorrow morning. I never knew this was a problem u til i looked this up on google. How can ford continue to sell these trucks with a know safety defect and nhtsa does nothing to warn us. |
