Description of the problem | In november of 2018, at 25,000 miles, my truck became temporarily uncontrollable while traveling on a straight and level section of interstate 10. I experienced severe oscillation of front tires at 70 mph. I was on straight and level ground and was able to slow down to 30 mph at which time i regained control. During the incident, i was unable to maintain lane integrity. After stopping, i checked the tire pressure and all tires were at the recommended pressure's. Took the vehicle to chapman ford dealer in scottsdale az and the inspection came back "no problems detected". In january 2019, at 28,000 miles i experienced the same problem at 50 mph while traveling on a straight and level paved road. This time i did not regain control until 20 mph. In both of the described instances i was pulling a light utility trailer loaded with a polaris ranger. *note: i do not recall hitting a bumpy section of roadway to initiate the severe oscillation. |
