Consumer Description

TRAVELING AT FREEWAY SPEEDS WHEN THE TRUCK HITS A BUMP OR ISSUE IN/ON THE ROAD THE FRONT WHEELS START TO SHAKE VIOLENTLY AND I AM BARELY ABLE TO CONTROL THE TRUCK UNTIL IT SLOWS TO AROUND 10 MPH, I HAVE NOW REPLACED ALL THE STEERING COMPONENTS AND IT HAS GOTTEN WORSE AND I HAVE ALMOST ROLLED MY TRUCK. WHEN I HAVE CONTACTED FORD DEALERS THEY ALL TELL ME THAT THEY HAVE NEVER HEARD OF THIS ISSUE BUT FOR $6,000 TO $10,000 THEY CAN REPLACE ALL THE SUSPENSION PARTS AND THAT SHOULD FIX THE UNUSUAL PROBLEM THAT ONLY I AM HAVING.
