Description of the problem | I own a 2009 ford f250 super duty 4x4 after hitting a small bump in the rd. At 50 mph the whole cab of my truck, the steering wheel and the tires started shaking violently!!!!!!!!!!! Back and forth. The truck veered in to the opposite lane. I had to slam on the brakes to slow the truck down to regain control. I truly thought that i was going to lose control and crash. Why has ford not recalled the trucks to fix the problem. Why when i bought the truck was i not told that there is an ongoing investigation into this defect and it has been going on since 2005. Must someone die before ford is made to correct this extremely dangerous defect. Please inform me of outcome of this investigation. Thank you. |
