Consumer Description

I WAS TRAVELING ON A HIGHWAY DOING APPROXIMATELY 70 MPH (SPEED LIMIT). WHEN I HIT A BRIDGE EXPANSION JOINT THE TRUCK STARTED VIOLENTLY VIBRATING TO THE POINT I WAS LOSING CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE. I RAPIDLY DECELERATED AND THE VIOLENT SHAKING STOPPED AFTER I SLOWED THE VEHICLE TO APPROXIMATELY 25 MPH. THE SHAKING WAS SO VIOLENT I WAS SECONDS AWAY FROM VEERING OFF THE ROAD INTO THE TREES. THERE IS A TECHNICAL BULLETIN FROM FORD ABOUT THIS ISSUE, BUT IT IS NOT A RECALL. SOMEONE IS LIKELY GOING TO DIE FOR WHAT IS OBVIOUSLY A DESIGN AND/OR MANUFACTURING DEFECT. THE TECHNICAL BULLETIN FROM FORD ON THIS ISSUE IS: TSB# 18- 2268. NTHIS NEEDS TO BE A RECALL.
