Consumer Description

WHEN DRIVING HIGHWAY SPEEDS I NEVER KNOW WHEN THE FRONT END IS GOING TO VIOLENTLY SHAKE SO BAD THAT I CAN'T SEE OUT THE REAR VIEW MIRRORS TO EVEN KNOW WHO IS AROUND ME WHEN MY TRUCK IS COMPLETELY OUT OF CONTROL. I CAN'T BELIEVE SOMEONE HAS NOT DIED YET! IT'S NOT IF, BUT WHEN. A JOINT IN THE ROAD, POT HOLE, OR JUST A PAVEMENT IRREGULARITY CAUSES IT, BUT I NEVER KNOW WHEN. I'VE ASKED SERVICE AND SALES TECHS AT BOTH PHIL LONG FORD/LITTLETON, CO AND LAKEWOOD FORD/LAKEWOOD, CO AND RECEIVED THE SAME LINE OF CRAP, THAT I'M THE FIRST PERSON WHO EVER MENTIONED IT. CHECK MY TIRE PRESSURE IS WHAT I'M TOLD. ALL I HAD TO DO WAS GOOGLE THE PROBLEM AND I FOUND A SEEMINGLY ENDLESS LIST OF COMPLAINTS OF THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM. THIS SITE WAS ALREADY AWARE OF THE PROBLEM BECAUSE WHEN I WENT TO SELECT THE "FAILED COMPONENTS", STEERING WAS ALREADY HIGHLIGHTED. THIS IS A $50,000 TRUCK I'M AFRAID TO DO THE SPEED LIMIT IN. LOADED OR UNLOADED, PULLING A TRAILER OR NOT, THE PROBLEM CAN PRESENT ITSELF. HOW MANY COMPLAINTS OR DEATHS DOES IT TAKE BEFORE FORD IS HELD RESPONSIBLE FOR THIS DEFECT? *KB
