Description of the problem | Traveling down interstate 10 in az. Encountered uneven road. Traveling at 65 mph pulling a 30' airstream classic trailer. The truck went into a violent shaking in the steering. I could hardly hold on to the steering wheel. I appiled the brake as trucks were swerving to get around me at 75 mph. I had my wife put on the emergency flashers as i could not let go of the wheel. I could not steer or move to the right of the road. Truck was literally "hopping" as i tried to slow without getting hit from behind. Shaking finally subsided when my truck reached 20 mph. I literally was close to stopped on a 75 mph roadway! I increased mt speed again to about 50 mph and the shaking started again. I had to almost stop again. My wife and i were visibly shaking. We could have been killed. We pulled off on the next exit and called a ford dealer. Ford dealer replaced front stabilizer shock. Ford is back-ordered on their shock for months. Wonder why? We replaced it with a third party shock. The suspension was checked and the dealer said it should be fine. Two days latter we experienced the shaking again! We are now stuck in palm springs waiting for a dealer to open on monday. I called ford corporate and they said they did not have a recall on this. They said they will call the dealer and me on monday to get their truck division involved. I cannot drive this truck pulling a trailer with this issue. This is a very dangerous problem. I fear driving this in the mountain with roads that curve. When this shaking occurs, you cannot do anything but go straight. |
