| Description of the problem | I was driving my 2019 ford f-250 with 11,000 miles on it down the interstate at 72 miles/hr. I went over an expansion joint and the truck started shaking violently. The traffic was heavy but all i could do was slam on brakes and pull to the shoulder to get it to stop. I inspected the truck but found nothing obvious. I took the truck to my local ford dealer the next day and was told "this is common, we call it porpoising". They wouldn't even look at it. I have now spent almost $1000 dollars on a new adjustable track bar, premium shocks and a dual steering stabilizer to try and remedy this issue. This is a major safety issue and ford is not going to fix it without nhtsa intervention. |
