Consumer Description

I RECENTLY PURCHASED A 2015 F250 SUPER DUTY. IT WAS A CLEAN TITLE NO ACCIDENTS. SHORTLY AFTER PURCHASING THE TRUCK I WAS DRIVING BETWEEN 43 -55 MPH ON A COUNTY ROAD WHEN MY STEERING WHEEL AND IN FACT THE ENTIRE TRUCK STARTED SHAKING SO VIOLENTLY I WAS HAVING TROUBLE MAINTAINING CONTROL. I MANAGED TO SLOW DOWN QUICKLY AND IT STOPPED. AFTER SEVERAL MORE OCCURRENCES ALL AT THE SAME SPEEDS I TOOK MY TRUCK TO A SPECIALTY WHEEL AND ALIGNMENT SHOP AND PAID NEARLY 1,000 DOLLARS TO HAVE THIS FIXED. AFTER NEW BUSHINGS, NEW TIRES, NEW SHOCKS, NEW STEERING AND NEW ALIGNMENT IT ABATED FOR 3 MONTHS. IT IS NOW BACK AND AS SCARY AS EVER. I HAD A 2004 F250 SUPER DUTY AND NEVER HAD THIS KIND OF ISSUE. I HAVE NOW LEARNED THIS IS A KNOWN PROBLEM THAT FORD WILL NOT ACKNOWLEDGE OR EVEN RECALL. I MAY HAVE TO SELL THIS TRUCK BECAUSE OF THE DANGER TO THE REST OF MY FAMILY. THERE IS ALSO A CLASS ACTION LAW SUIT OVER THIS KNOWN AND VERY DANGEROUS PROBLEM. PLEASE LOOK INTO THIS BEFORE MORE MONEY AND MORE DAMAGE IS CAUSED. IF YOU HAVE NOT BEEN IN A TRUCK THAT DOES THIS COME TO TEXAS AND TAKE A RIDE WITH ME. I PROMISE IT WILL SCARE YOU INTO ACTION. THIS HAS BEEN MY PROBLEM SINCE MARCH. IT IS ALWAYS ON ROUGHER ROADS OR AFTER HITTING UNEVEN PAVEMENT.
