AFTER DRIVING OVER ROAD IMPERFECTIONS (E.G. BUMPS, POT HOLES, DIPS, ETC.) AT SPEEDS ABOUT 40MPH OR ABOVE, THE FRONT OF THE TRUCK SHAKES VERY VIOLENTLY, AND THE STEERING WHEEL MOVES QUICKLY AND STRONGLY, ALTERNATING RAPIDLY BETWEEN CLOCKWISE AND COUNTER-CLOCKWISE MOVEMENTS. IT IS DIFFICULT TO MAINTAIN CONTROL OF THE TRUCK; CONTROL CAN ONLY BE REGAINED AFTER SLOWING THE VEHICLE TO BELOW ABOUT 35 MILES PER HOUR, WHICH IS WELL BELOW ACCEPTABLE SPEEDS ON AN EXPRESSWAY. THIS IS NOT A ONE-TIME INCIDENT, BUT HAPPENS ALMOST EVERY TIME A ROAD IMPERFECTION IS DRIVEN OVER. TIRE PRESSURE IS CONSTANTLY CHECKED AND MAINTAINED, THE TIRES ARE RELATIVELY NEW (I.E. LESS THAN 10,000 MILES), AND THE STEERING

THIS TRUCK HAS EXPERIENCED SHIMMY, AKA DEATH WOBBLE, SINCE NEW. I HAVE HAD NO SUSPENSION MODIFICATIONS AND NOT RUNNING ANYTHING OTHER THAN RECOMMENDED SIZE AND QUALITY OF TIRE. WHEN CRUISING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS AND YOU HIT A BUMP THE TRUCK HOPS AND SHAKES IN A DANGEROUS WAY. I HAVE ONLY GOTTEN LETTERS FROM FORD SAYING TO USE THE CORRECT TIRES AND PSI RATING. WHICH I HAVE AND IT STILL HAPPENS.

TURN KEY TO START AND RUN. START DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AND ALL GAUGES GO DEAD (NO POWER) RADIO & CRUISE CONTROL & WINDOWS & INTAGRATED BRAKES ALL GO OUT. NO MATTER AT ANY SPEEDS. THE SCARY ONE IS WHEN WE HAVE OUR 44 FT SUNDOWNER RV COMBO HORSE TRAILER AT 70 MPH ON CRUISE CONTROL AND THIS HAPPENS AND YOU HAVE NO GAUGES OR TRAILER BRAKES, NO POWER TO WINDOWS, NO POWER TO UNLOCK DOORS EXCEPT MANUALLY.AND NONE OF THE GAUGES ARE WORKING. BUT THE TRUCK STILL RUNS FINE. DEALERSHIPS CANT LOCATE PROBLEM BUT CHARGE YOU 2 HOURS LABOR AND SAYS BRING IT BACK IF IT DOES IT AGAIN. HAVE BROUGHT IT IN 14 TIMES THIS MONTH.

MY TRUCKS FRONT END SHAKES AND BOUNCES WHEN I HIT A ROUGH AREA ON THE HWY TO POINT IT FORCES ME INTO OTHER LANES OR OFF THE ROAD. WHEN IT STARTS BOUNCING I HAVE HIT THE BREAKS HARD AND COME TO A STOP. REALLY DANGEROUS ON A WELL TRAVELED ROAD. THIS HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES. I'VE HAD THE TRUCK CHECK AFTER EACH INCIDENT AND AM TOLD EVERYTHING CHECKS OUT OK. THEY SAID TO KEEP TIRES AT 65 PSI AND THEN 75 PSI NEITHER HELPED. TODAY AFTER ALMOST HITTING ANOTHER CAR HEAD ON HWY 175 I DECIDED IT'S TIME TO REPORT IT. *TR
