Consumer Description

I OWN A 2003 FORD F-250 AND WAS DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY AT ABOUT 65 MILES AN HOUR THE OTHER DAY WHEN I CROSSED A BRIDGE WITH FOUR EVENLY-SPACED EXPANSION JOINTS. AFTER HITTING THEM, THE FRONT END OF THE TRUCK STARTED SHAKING VIOLENTLY. I GRIPPED THE WHEEL AND STRUGGLED TO KEEP IT IN THE LANE AS I EASED ONTO THE BRAKE. THAT DIDN'T HELP, SO I LET OFF THE BRAKE AND THE TRUCK EVENTUALLY STOPPED SHAKING - AFTER ABOUT 15 SECONDS. IT WAS TERRIFYING. I'VE ALSO HAD SIMILAR TROUBLE WITH POTHOLES. ONE TIME I HIT A POTHOLE AND THE TRUCK SHOT HALFWAY OVER INTO THE LANE NEXT TO ME. THERE WAS A CAR JUST BEHIND WHO HAD TO SLAM ON HIS BRAKES TO AVOID AN ACCIDENT. *TR
