Consumer Description

WHILE DRIVING DOWN A FAIRLY SMOOTH HIGHWAY AT 55 MPH. MY 2006 FORD F250 SD POWERSTROKE STARTED SHAKING, AND THE STEERING WHEEL STARTING MOVING BACK AND FORTH RAPIDLY. I THOUGHT IT WAS A LOOSE WHEEL OR A FLAT, BUT IT WAS NOT. I HAD TO SLOW DOWN TO AROUND 45 MPH AND IT STOPPED. AFTER DOING SOME INVESTIGATING ON THE INTERNET I FOUND THAT THIS IS A VERY COMMON THING FOR THIS MODEL PICK-UP, AND THAT NOTHING IS BEING DONE TO CORRECT IT BY FORD. THIS HAS HAPPENED TO ME TWICE NOW, AND IT IS VERY SCARY. I HOPE THAT IT DOES NOT HAVE TO TAKE SOMEONE HAVING A FATAL ACCIDENT FOR FORD TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS. *JB
