Consumer Description

THE TRUCK NOW THREE TIMES IN LESS THAN 5 MONTHS HAS SHOOK SO BAD THAT WE COULDN'T HOLD ONTO THE STEERING WHEEL, WHEN JUST RIDING OVER A BRIDGE SEAM. THE TRUCK SHOOK SO BAD THAT THE CAR IN THE NEXT LANE RAN OFF THE ROAD AND WE ENDED UP IN THE MEDIAN. WE HAVE PURCHASED NEW TIRES AND WE CHECK OUR PRESSURE DAILY. WHICH HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH THIS ISSUE. SOMEONE IS GOING TO BE KILLED WITH THIS HYPER SHAKING. I KNOW IF THERE ISN'T SOMETHING DONE THERE ARE GOING TO BE ACCIDENTS. WE LIVE IN THE NORTHEAST WHERE WE HAVE SNOW AND ICE WITH THE ROADS IN THAT CONDITION WE WOULD HAVE NEVER BEEN ABLE TO CONTROL THE TRUCK IF WE WOULD HAVE BEEN ON ICE AND SNOW. LUCKY IT WAS NOT SNOWING AND IT WAS DRY PAVEMENT. I KNOW IF SOMETHING ISN'T DONE ABOUT THIS AND ALL THE OTHER COMPLAINTS THAT HAVE BEEN FILED FORD IS GOING TO BE SORRY WHEN SOMEONE IS KILLED. THE PROBLEM IS SO BAD YOU HAVE NO CONTROL OVER THE STEERING AND HAVE NO PLACE TO GO WHEN THIS HAPPENS. WE ALMOST SIDESWIPED THE CAR NEXT TO US THANK GOODNESS THEY WERE PAYING ATTENTION WHEN IT HAPPENED. THEY STOPPED AND ASKED IF WE WERE OK. THEY SAID THEY NEVER SAW ANYTHING LIKE THAT BEFORE. WE HAVE OWNED AT LEAST 6 F-150 TRUCKS AND 4 FORD EXPLORERS SO YOU COULD SAY WE ARE FORD PEOPLE. BUT I AM NOT SO SURE WE WILL STAY A FORD FAMILY SINCE THEY DON'T SEEM TO WANT TO DO ANYTHING TO REMEDY THIS ISSUE AND IT IS HAPPENING IN THE NEW ONES ALSO. WE HAVE A FRIEND THAT HAS A 2011 AND IT DOES THE SAME THING. I KNOW YOU HAVE DISMISSED COMPLAINTS BEFORE BUT SOMEONE IS GOING TO BE KILLED. THEN MAYBE SOMETHING WILL BE DONE BY YOU OR FORD WHEN THAT HAPPENS IT IS A SHAME THAT IT TAKES A DEATH TO MAKE SOMEONE DO SOMETHING. *KB
