Consumer Description

I HAVE OWNED MY 2006 FORD SD SINCE DECEMBER 2008. SHORTLY AFTER WINTER DURING HIGH WAY DRIVING I EXPERIENCED VIOLENT SHAKING IN THE FRONT END AFTER HITTING A POT WHOLE. I NEARLY LOST CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE WHICH COULD HAS CAUSED A SERIOUS ACCIDENT. I RECEIVED A NOTICE FROM FORD EXPLAINING THAT I NEED TO KEEP THE TIRE PRESSURE AT THE RECOMMENDED LEVEL OR IT WOULD CAUSE THE SHAKING. BUT THE AIR PRESSURE DID NOT CORRECT THE PROBLEM. I BECAME TOO AFRAID TO DRIVE THIS VEHICLE ON ANY EXPRESS WAYS AND LIMITED DRIVING IT IN TOWN AND NON-EXPRESSWAY ROADS. AFTER A YEAR AND A HALF THIS VIOLENT SHAKING, I HAD TO BUY ANOTHER VEHICLE BECAUSE I BECAME TO AFRAID THIS VEHICLE WOULD CAUSE A SERIOUS ACCIDENT. I STILL OWN THIS VEHICLE BUT I ONLY TRUST IT IN TOWN DRIVING. *TR
