Consumer Description

I WAS TRAVELING ON THE FREEWAY AT 60 MPH. THE VEHICLE WENT INTO A VIOLENT SHAKING AFTER GOING OVER AN UNEVEN ROAD SURFACE. THE VEHICLE JUMPED A HALF LANE OVER AND I HAD LOST CONTROL UNTIL MY SPEED WAS REDUCED. AT THAT TIME I WAS AFRAID OF SLAMMING ON THE BRAKES AND LOSING MORE CONTROL OR POSSIBLY FLIPPING OVER. NOW THIS VIOLENT SHAKING OCCURS EVERY TIME I HIT A POT HOLE OR ANY UNEVEN SURFACE AT 55 TO 60 MPH. I HAVE TAKEN MY VEHICLE TO FORD SERVICE AND THEY CAN NOT FIND ANY PROBLEM THAT WOULD CAUSE THE VIOLENT SHAKING. AFTER DOING SOME RESEARCH I FOUND A VIDEO OF THIS ON YOU TUBE AS "F-250 DEATH WOBBLE". THIS VIDEO SAYS IT ALL AND IS BASED ON A STOCK ORIGINAL EQUIPMENT F-250 SUPER DUTY. *TR
