Consumer Description

2005 FORD F-250 SUPER DUTY, STARTED AT @ 25,000 MILES IN 2008 AND STILL HAPPENS TODAY. HAPPENS WHEN TRAVELING OVER 60 MPH, WHEN YOU HIT ANY SMALL BUMP IN THE ROAD, THE FRONT SUSPENSION STARTED TO SHAKE UNCONTROLLABLY. IT IS VERY HARD TO CONTROL THE TRUCK. THIS HAPPENS ALL THE TIME ON THE FREEWAY. THE TIRE PRESSURE WAS CORRECT AT THE TIME OF THE FIRST INCIDENT, THE TIRES WERE BALANCED AND THE LUG NUTS WERE TORQUED TO FORD SPECS. TALKED TO THE FORD DEALER AND THEY DENIED ANY KNOWLEDGE OF A SIMILAR PROBLEM. AFTER A FEW HOURS RESEARCH ONLINE, THIS PROBLEM IS WELL DOCUMENTED AND FREQUENT WITH THE FORD SUPER DUTY LINE FROM 05"-08". IT SEEMS TO BE AN ENGINEERING DEFECT AND FORD IS WELL AWARE OF THE PROBLEM, BUT IT DOES APPEAR THAT FORD HAS OFFERED ANY REMEDIES. THE NHTSA ALSO KNOWS OF THE PROBLEM. I VIEWED FOUR NHTSA VIDEOS THAT DEMONSTRATED THE IDENTICAL PROBLEM THAT I AM EXPERIENCING WITH MY TRUCK. I HAVE FOUND NO ACTION ON THE PART OF THE NHTSA. THIS PROBLEM NEEDS TO BE ACKNOWLEDGED AND CORRECTED BEFORE SOMEONE IS KILLED. *JS
