Consumer Description

DRIVING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS OF 55 - 65MPH AND HIT A SLIGHT BUMP IN THE ROAD THE ENTIRE FRONT END OF THE VEHICLE SHAKES UNCONTROLLABLY. IN ORDER TO GET THIS TO STOP YOU MUST SLAM ON THE BRAKES TO BRING THE SPEED DOWN TO 15 - 20 MPH. FORD DEALERSHIP SERVICE ADVISER AND MECHANIC ACKNOWLEDGE THIS ISSUE EXISTS AND HAS SINCE 2005 BUT THERE ISN'T ANY RESOLUTION FOR THE ISSUE. MY VEHICLE HAS BEEN IN THE SHOP 3 DIFFERENT TIMES FOR OVER A MONTH IN TOTAL TIME. FORD REGION CUSTOMER SERVICE MANAGER STATES THE ISSUE IS THE ROAD. I FIND IT ODD THERE ARE MAY OTHER FORD TRUCK OWNERS WITH THE SAME ISSUE.
