Consumer Description

AT APPROXIMATING 12161 MILES ON MY TRUCK, IT IS LESS THAN A YEAR OLD , MY F250 THE VEHICLE EXHIBITED (4-5 TIMES) A VIOLENT OSCILLATING OR SHAKING OF THE ENTIRE TRUCK WHEN GOING OVER A BUMP IN THE PAVEMENT OR OVER THE EXPANSION JOINT OF A BRIDGE. I HAVE NEARLY LOST CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE (4-5 TIMES). MY COURSE OF ACTION IS TO TAKE MY FOOT OFF OF THE GAS, SLOW DOWN, SAFELY PULL TO THE SHOULDER OF THE ROAD, SLOW DOWN TO 5MPH, AND THEN I CAN CONTINUE ON. THE SHAKING IS SO VIOLENT I THOUGHT THE TRUCK / I WAS GOING TO FLIP OVER BECAUSE OF LACK OF STEERING.
