NHTSA Complaint #11365082 — 2017 FORD F-350

2017 FORD F-350, TRUCK CAN HIT ANY BUMP IN THE ROAD AND THE STEERING WHEEL GOES CRAZY SHAKING EXTREMELY VIOLENTLY. THIS HAPPENS AT SPEEDS FROM ABOUT 45MPH AND FASTER. THE ONLY WAY TO STOP THE SHAKING IS TO IMMEDIATELY PULL OVER ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND SLOW DOWN TO ABOUT 25-30MPH. IT'S VERY HARD TO CONTROL THE VEHICLE WHILE IT'S SHAKING, AS YOU DO NOT HAVE FULL CONTROL OF THE STEERING. A BIG PROBLEM IS THE FACT THAT YOU CAN'T TELL WHICH BUMPS WILL CAUSE THE VIOLENT SHAKING. IT COULD BE A LARGE UNAVOIDABLE POTHOLE, OR IT COULD BE A SMALL CONCRETE JOINT IN AN OTHERWISE VERY SMOOTH FLAT ROAD. I HAVE ALSO EXPERIENCED THIS WHEN THERE WERE NO BUMPS IN THE ROAD. IT IS VERY DISHEARTENING TO KNOW THAT FORD MOTOR COMPANY IS SELLING VEHICLES FOR UPWARDS OF $80,000 THAT CAN'T BE SAFELY DRIVEN ANY FASTER THAN 45-50MPH, AND ARE PUTTING PEOPLES LIVES IN DANGER ON A DAILY BASIS.
