Consumer Description

I WAS DRIVING ON HIGHWAY 55 NORTH IN IMPERIAL MISSOURI WITH MY 3 YR OLD SON IN REAR CAR SEAT WHEN I WENT OVER SOME NORMAL ROAD BUMP AND MY FRONT END STARTED SHAKING SO VIOLENTLY THAT I HAD TO COME TO A COMPLETE STOP TO CORRECT THE SHAKE. THIS ALL HAPPENED IN THE FAST LANE AS I HAD NO WAY TO MOVE TO LEFT OR RIGHT. THANK GOD I WAS NOT BEING TAILGATED! I WAS SCARED HALF TO DEATH AND MY 3YR OLD WAS CRYING SO HARD THAT HE COULDN'T BREATHE! I TOOK IT STRAIGHT TO DEALERSHIP AND THEY DID A TSB FOR A STEERING DAMPENER AND TOLD ME IT WAS FIXED. THE VERY NEXT MORNING IT DID THE VIOLENT SHAKE AGAIN. TOOK IT STRAIGHT BACK TO DEALERSHIP AND THEY HAD A FORD ENGINEER LOOK AT IT AND THEY REPLACED A TRACK BAR BALL JOINT AND SAID IT WAS GOOD NOW. I TOLD THEM THAT I WANTED TO TEST DRIVE IT BEFORE I TOOK IT THIS TIME AND THEY LET ME. STILL HAD THE PROBLEM AND WHEN I TOLD HIM THAT HE SAID THAT THE ENGINEER SAID I NEEDED TO PUT NEW TIRES ON AND A ALIGNMENT BEFORE THEY DO ANYTHING ELSE. THERE IS SOMETHING MORE THAN TIRES AND ALIGNMENT WRONG WITH MY TRUCK!!!!! MY FAMILY TRUCK HAS BECOME A DEATH TRAP!!!! PLEASE HELP WITH THIS MATTER BEFORE SOMEONE IS KILLED! IF THIS WAS YOUR CHILD IN THIS TRUCK YOU WOULD UNDERSTAND MY CONCERN!!! *TR
