| Description of the problem | I am having some type of severe wobble steering/suspensions issue where it feels as if i have a flat tire on the front of the truck. The first time this happened it was so severe it cracked the windshield. The first occurrence i tried slowing down from 70 to get it to stop as i thought it was a flat tire. Once i slowed down to about 25 it stopped. The second time this happened i tried to give it about 30-45 seconds to see if it would stop but it didn't and progressively got worse. The third time this happened i got a bit more creative and tried to accelerate through this going up to 85 and that did not work so again got it to stop by reducing speed to 20-25. This is unsafe to the point where i am afraid to drive the vehicle on the highway in heavy traffic or on a highway without shoulders as if this occurs i may have to slow down to 20-25 mph to get this to stop. This occurred on the highway (i-75 in fl) on 3 separate occasions and experienced the same problem 3 times over the period of 30 days. The tire psi was about 65-70 on all occurrences with dealer inspected "good tire tread". All 3 were routine drives to work and all occurred at the same speed of 70 mph. All of them were cruising (not accelerating or decelerating) and in 6th gear in optimal driving conditions. This happened twice with no load and once with a bumper pull trailer (tongue weight of about 350-500 lbs, load weight of trailer+load around 5,000 lbs). My truck has only been serviced by ford and at the dealership where it was purchased. It was purchased new with only 13 miles when sold. I now have about 25,000 miles on the vehicle. The truck has 0 aftermarket parts or equipment and is 100% stock and has the original tires as well (continental w/kevlar). |
