Description of the problem | I was in cruise control coming down highway 260 in arizona, very mountainous roads. Cruising at about 75, hit a rough patch of road and the vehicle began shaking violently, throwing me into oncoming traffic to the left. There was no warning and the truck normally drives smooth, this unexpected event will kill someone they should recall all f250s and f350s, this is a severe issue and you are being complacent not treating this as a dangerous issue. This needs to be resolved and ford knows this is an issue and doesn't do anything but throw parts at it. I've read this is a caster issue. Total [xxx] i have a 65k truck i'm afraid to drive, be careful people this can kill you and anyone in your vehicle. When this happens to you, you will thank god when you can make it stop if you're alive, i'm a total ford guy, but this completely changed my opinion on my very expensive truck and ford. Ford if anyone reads this you people are pukes. Knowing this issue and not recalling it. Information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u. S. C. 552(b)(6). |
