Consumer Description

TSB # 18-2268 AT 60 MPH ON A SMOOTH FLAT HIGHWAY AND AFTER CROSSING A BRIDGE EXPANSION JOINT THE TRUCK STARTED TO SHAKE VIOLENTLY AND WAS EXTREMELY DIFFICULT TO CONTROL. THE STEERING WHEEL SHOOK SO VIOLENTLY IT WAS DIFFICULT TO HOLD ONTO IT. ONCE THE VEHICLE SLOWED TO UNDER 30 MPH THE SHAKING STOPPED. BECAUSE OF TRAFFIC I WAS NOT ABLE TO CHANGE LANES AND GOING FROM 60 MPH TO 30 MPH IN THE LEFT LANE (FAST LANE) WAS EXTREMELY HAZARDOUS WITH A TRACTOR TRAILER BEARING DOWN ON ME BLOWING MADLY AS HE TRIED TO SLOW HIS TRUCK DOWN FROM REAR ENDING ME. I CALLED THE DEALER AND THEY ARE LOOKING AT IT ON 06/04/2019 @ CIOCCA FORD IN QUAKERTOWN
