Description of the problem | The first time it happened to me i was on a trip in canada from texas. The road was a little bumpy (farm road) i was driving 30 m/h accelerating to get to 60 m/h when all of sudden the truck started shaking so badly my head hit the side window. I couldn't steer the truck at all i slowed down to 0m/h put it on park then started rolling slowly and it was gone. It did it to me 3 times on a 3 weeks period. Since the roads are bad up there i kinda left it as that and told my husband about it when i came back to texas. We had the tires rotated and they couldn't see anything else wrong under the truck. I was months without having anything similar happening to me and yesterday i am on i-10 rolling about 65m/h and there it goes again and it was worst then the other times i fell my truck was about to explode from under me shaking to no end and no steering control at all even when letting go the gas it kept going and shaking and my truck shake its way from one lane to another one and finally stopped 3 inches from the retaining wall of the overpass. I could have killed myself. I had no more control at all on this truck which is a (2012 f-350 king ranch with about 40,000 miles on it) luckely for me i was almost alone on the highway. I called my dealer and they told me to bring in the truck next tuesday to see what is wrong with it. I ask if there was a recall and they did not say yes or no just to bring the truck in. I got another 2012 f-350 lariat and my husband said his truck did it to him once a while back. I write up the outcome after the visit at the dealer. |
