Consumer Description

I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY AT AROUND 65MPH AND WENT OVER A EXPANSION JOINT ON A BRIDGE AND THE FRONT END OF THE TRUCK STARTED SHAKING SO BAD THAT IT RIPPED THE STEERING WHEEL OUT OF MY HAND. I HAD TO COME TO A COMPLETE STOP TO MAKE THE SHAKING STOP, I THOUGHT I HAD A FRONT TIRE BLOW OUT,NEARLY HIT THE CAR IN THE LANE NEXT TO ME. I TOOK IT BACK TO THE DEALER THEY PUT A NEW STEERING DAMPENER ON IT AND SAID TRY IT, BUT IT WILL PROBABLY NOT BE ANY BETTER, THEN THE NEXT FIX IS TO PUT ON A BIGGER STEERING WHEEL SO I CAN HOLD ON BETTER WHEN IT HAPPENS. LOOK ON LINE THIS KNOWN AS THE "FORD WHEEL OF DEATH" THERE IS A BUNCH OF VIDEOS ON YOU TUBE ABOUT IT AND SOME ACTUALLY SHOW IT HAPPEN. SOMEBODY NEEDS TO MAKE FORD PAY FOR A PROPER FIX BEFORE SOMEONE GETS KILLED. *TR
