NHTSA Complaint #10346223 — 2008 FORD F-250 SD

I BOUGHT A 2008 FORD F-250 EXTENDED CAB TRUCK AND WHEN I GO OVER A SMALL BUMP IN THE ROAD THE FRONT END SHAKES REAL BAD TO THE POINT I ALMOST LOST CONTROL GOING DOWN A HIGHWAY AT 55MPH. I CHECKED THE AIR PRESSURE IN THE TIRES AND THEY WERE AT 70PSI IN THE FRONT AND 80PSI IN THE BACK. THE DOOR STICKER SAID THE PRESSURES SHOULD BE 70 IN THE FRONT AND 80 IN THE BACK. I HAVE REPLACED THE SHOCKS AND STEERING STABILIZER SHOCK AND IT DID NOT MAKE A DIFFERENCE. THE OLD SHOCKS APPEARED TO BE IN GOOD SHAPE YET. I THEN REPLACED THE TIRES EVEN THOUGH THEY WERE STILL GOOD AND THEY WERE WORN EVENLY. STILL DID NOT FIX IT. I THEN DROPPED MY AIR PRESSURE IN THE TIRES TO 60PSI FRONT AND BACK TO IF IT MADE A DIFFERENCE. STILL DID NOT FIX IT. I HAD THE DEALERSHIP LOOK AT IT AND THEY SAID THEY COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG WITH IT. I OWNED A 1999 F-250 AND IT NEVER HAD THIS PROBLEM. I HAD 165,000 MILES ON IT WHEN I TRADED IT IN FOR THIS ONE. I GOOGLED MY PROBLEM AND FOUND A LOT OF PEOPLE WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. FORD NEEDS TO COME UP WITH A REPAIR FOR THIS SOON. I WON'T LET MY WIFE DRIVE THIS TRUCK FOR FEAR OF THIS HAPPENING AND HER ENDING UP IN A WRECK. FORD NEEDS TO THINK ABOUT THE PEOPLE AND CHILDREN THAT RIDE IN THERE VEHICLES AND THE LIVES THAT THEY COULD TAKE. I AM A FORD DRIVER ALL MY VEHICLES ARE FORD AND I'M NOT MAD AT FORD YET BUT THEY NEED TO CURE THIS PROBLEM. THIS PROBLEM IS FOR SURE A DESIGN FLAW. *TR
