Consumer Description

HIT A BUMP GOING ACROSS A BRIDGE ON I-74. THE ENTIRE TRUCK BEGAN TO SHAKE VIOLENTLY FOR SEVERAL HUNDRED FEET BEFORE I REGAINED CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE. THIS IS EVIDENTLY WHAT FORD IS CALLING A " SHIMMY" . I HAD ALMOST NO CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE AT THIS POINT. IF THE SHOULDER OF THE HIGHWAY WAS ANY NARROWER I WOULD NOT BE HERE TODAY. THIS HAPPENED AGAIN TWO DAYS LATER. I WAS ALMOST REAR ENDED AT A SPEED OF 60 MPH. I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO, I'M STILL MAKING PAYMENTS ON A TRUCK THAT IS UNSAFE TO DRIVE. THIS "SHIMMY " IS GOING TO GET PEOPLE KILLED. *TR
