Consumer Description

THE VEHICLE IS A 2006 FORD SUPERDUTY 4X4. HAS HAD NO MODIFICATIONS TO SUSPENSION. STILL FACTORY TIRES AND CURRENTLY AT 31,000 MILES. I CAN NO LONGER DRIVE THE TRUCK ON THE INTERSTATE. HITTING EVEN A SMALL BUMP AT 65MPH CAUSES THE FRONT END TO SHAKE SO BADLY THAT CONTROLLING THE TRUCK IS NO LONGER POSSIBLE. TODAY 04/13/11 THE MOST RECENT INCIDENT IT HAPPENED IN THE AFTERNOON RUSH ON I95 HERE IN RICHMOND WHERE I LIVE. SENDING ME ACROSS THE LANES AND ALMOST OFF THE ROAD,. I AM A VIRGINIA STATE SAFETY INSPECTOR. I CAN ASSURE YOU THAT ALL STEERING PARTS ARE STILL LIKE NEW AND TIGHT. I EVEN RETORQUED ALL BOLTS. I HAVE TALKED TO THE LOCAL FORD DEALER. THEY SAY THERE'S A TSB FOR A NEW DAMPER. THIS PROBLEM IS FAR BEYOND A STEERING DAMPER.. IT HAS DONE THIS A TOTAL OF 4 TIMES,BUT IM SURE WILL DO IT EVERY TIME YOU HIT A BUMP AT HIGHWAY SPEED. FORD WONT OR CANT FIX IT AND I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO WITH A TRUCK THAT I CANT DRIVE ON THE INTERSTATE. IT WOULD MAKE A GREAT TEST TRUCK FOR THE NHTSA SINCE IT ISN'T GOOD FOR MUCH ELSE SINCE I HAVE TO TRAVEL THE INTERSTATE ON A WEEKLY BASIS. *TR
