Consumer Description

WE HAVE A F-250 KING RANCH SUPER DUTY 4 WHEEL DRIVE. WHEN WE ARE GOING OVER 60 MPH AND WE HIT A BUMP IT GOES INTO A DEATH SHAKE. IT DOESNT MATTER IF IT IS A HIGHWAY OR COUNTRY ROAD IF YOU HIT A BUMP YOU BETTER HOLD ON CAUSE YOUR GOING INTO A DEATH SHAKE LIKE NO OTHER. IT IS VERY HARD TO STEER AND CONTROL. YOU HAVE TO SLOW DOWN TO BELOW 30 MPH BEFORE IT WILL STOP. VERY DANGEROUS! I HAVE SEEN ON THE WEBSITE THIS IS COMMON AND FORD WONT DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT. THIS HAS HAPPENED 15 TIMES SO FAR. WE USUALLY LEAVE IT PARKED AT OUR HOUSE BECAUSE IT IS DANGEROUS TO DRIVE. SO WE PAY A BIG NOTE TO LEAVE IT PARKED.
