 Description of the problemOn i-81 thru harrisonburg, va crossing a bridge with several bumps in it. The steering went into uncontrolled vibration like it was coming apart. I had to slow down to 20 mph to get it to stop. 20 mph at night on an interstate is hardly safe. Another time it occurred while entering an on-ramp to an interstate. Again, i had to slow down to 20 mph to get it to stop. The guy behind me, also trying to merge, almost hit me. The vibrations have occurred since the truck was almost new. The ford dealer says this is normal. I think it represents an accident waiting to happen. It only occurs under specific conditions at speeds of 50-60 mph, a slight turn and road bumps of a certain frequency to initiate the shaking. Under those conditions, a mechanical resonance with positive feedback seems to create the uncontrollable shudder.

    A recall is when a product is removed from the market or a correction is made to the product because it is either defective or potentially harmful.
