| Description of the problem | While driving on interstate highway at 65 mph, we hit an expansion joint and the steering wheel began shaking so bad we almost hit the truck next to us. The highway was so crowded all i could do was brake and hang on. Finally when the speed was at 25 it quit violently shaking. Checked the truck out at the next exit and found nothing obvious. On the way home, it did the same thing again with the same result. I have not driven on the highway since because i am scared that we could cause an accident. We live in a rural area with the closest dealer 75 miles away, i will get it there in the near future but my question is, is ford aware of the problem? The truck has less than 15000 miles, and should not be doing this. We are in our late 60? S and i can only hope i can hang on if it happens again.
