Consumer Description

2006 F250 FRONT END SHIMMY, WOBBLE. TOOK TO DEALER FOR FRONT END CHECKUP AFTER LETTER FROM FORD. THEY SAID THEY AIRED UP THE TIRES AND IT WAS GOOD TO GO...? I WENT 5 MI DOWN THE ROAD AND SAME ISSUE HAPPENED AGAIN. HIT BUMP IN ROAD AND THEN ANOTHER THE TRUCK STEERING WAS OUT OF CONTROL. I ALMOST HIT ANOTHER CAR TRAVELING NEXT TO ME GOING DOWN THE HIGHWAY. SCARED TO DEATH.. I JUST PURCHASED THIS TRUCK IN FEB 2009 AS A FORD CERTIFIED TRUCK. I WANT TO GET RID OF THIS TRUCK. I BELIEVE IT IS A LEMON. DEALERSHIP JUST SAID TIRES WERE UNDER INFLATED, AT 65LB AND AIRED TO 70PSI?? DID NOT SOLVE PROBLEM. THIS TRUCK WAS TO PICK UP MY KIDS FROM SCHOOL, AND NOW I DON'T WANT TO DRIVE THEM IN IT AND I FEEL IT IS NOT SAFE. I WORK FOR FORD AND AM FEELING VERY DISCOURAGED AND THE HELP I AM RECEIVING? WHAT NOW, DO I KEEP TAKING BACK? *TR
