Consumer Description

AFTER A BUMP IN THE HIGHWAY SUCH AS A POT-HOLE OR BRIDGE APPROACH, MY 2017 F250 WILL SHAKE UNCONTROLLABLY AT SPEEDS ANYWHERE FROM 60-75 MPH. THIS STARTED SHORTLY AFTER PURCHASING IT BRAND NEW IN 2017. RECENTLY MY WIFE HAD EXPERIENCE THIS TO THE POINT WHERE SHE WAS SHAKEN OFF THE ROADWAY AND TONIGHT I HAD THIS HAPPEN TO THE POINT WHERE I COULD FOCUS ON THE ROAD, THAT'S HOW BAD IT WAS SHAKING!!! I TOOK APPROXIMATELY 3/4 MI BEFORE I COULD GET IT UNDER CONTROL. MIND YOU THIS HAPPENED OVER FOUR DIFFERENT BRIDGES. ONE BEING A 150' DROP TO THE RIVER BELOW. . I'M FINALLY AT MY BREAKING POINT WITH THIS TRUCK. I HAVE NEVER ONCE HAD A BAD THOUGHT OVER THE LAST 17 YEARS OF DRIVING FORDS TRUCK BUT THIS ONE BROKE ME. I HAVE KEPT THIS TRUCK STOCK FROM THE WHEELS, TIRES, AND SUSPENSION. I DON'T UNDERSTOOD HOW FORD COULD PUT OUT SUCH DEFECTIVE VEHICLE???
