Consumer Description

I RECEIVED A NOTICE FROM FORD MOTOR CO. REGARDING A SHIMMY OR SEVERE VIBRATION THAT MAY OCCUR WHEN MY FORD F-250 FORD TRUCK TRAVELS OVER A BUMP OR DIP IN THE ROAD. THIS HAS HAPPENED TO ME. AT THE TIME I HAD NO IDEA WHAT CAUSED IT. I WAS TRAVELING AT APPROX. 65 MPH ON A HIGHWAY WHEN I DROVE TROUGH A DIP IN THE ROAD UNDER AN OVERPASS. MY TRUCK WENT IN A SEVERE SHIMMY. I ALMOST LOST FULL CONTROL OF THE TRUCK. HAD THERE BEEN A VEHICLE NEXT TO ME IN THE LEFT LANE I WOULD NOT HAVE BEEN ABLE TO AVOID HITTING IT. I DON'T KNOW WHAT THE PSI OF AIR IN MY TIRES WERE AT THE TIME. THEY WERE THE STOCK TIRES THAT CAME WITH THE TRUCK OFF THE LOT. I HAVE SINCE CHANGED THESE TIRES DUE TO WEAR. THIS IS A VERY SERIOUS ISSUE AND NEEDS TO BE GIVEN A LOT OF ATTENTION. *TR
