Consumer Description

OCCASIONALLY, AT INTERSTATE SPEEDS ONLY (65 - 75 MPH), FRONT END SHAKES VIOLENTLY WHEN CROSSING OVER A SMALL CHANGE IN SURFACE ELEVATION. (FOR EXAMPLE: TRANSITION FROM ROAD SURFACE TO BRIDGE SURFACE) IT IS NOT PREDICTABLE. VEHICLE STEERING IS COMPROMISED AND THE ONLY WAY TO REGAIN PROPER CONTROL IS TO ALLOW THE TRUCK TO SLOW TO APPROXIMATELY 50 MPH WHEN VIOLENT SHAKING WILL SUBSIDE. VEHICLE HAS BEEN INSPECTED BY ONE INDEPENDENT SHOP AND ONE FORD DEALERSHIP (WHERE VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED). NEITHER COULD IDENTIFY THE SOURCE OF THE PROBLEM. TRUCK IS STOCK WITH NO MODIFICATIONS. MOST RECENT EVENTS OCCURRED TWO CONSECUTIVE DAYS TRAVELING INTERSTATE 65 BETWEEN NASHVILLE AND SOUTHERN KENTUCKY. TWO DIFFERENT LOCATIONS, ONE NORTHBOUND AND ONE SOUTHBOUND. *TR
