Consumer Description

Driving at highway speed 65-70 mph, I drove across a rough patch of road. This rough patch was along a curve in the road. The truck from end violently vibrated, and it felt that I didn't have steers control of the vehicle. I lightly tapped the brakes and the vehicle began slowing down, while the truck drifted into the adjacent lane. The vibration continued until my speed dropped to approximately 35mph. It's was like the truck reached unstable resonate frequency. Initially, the vibration was some but grew violently quickly, and seem to continue to grow violently until I slowed the vehicle down. It wasn't a safe condition for me or other cars around me. Much less for the people in the truck who were shocked with fear. I'm traveling across country with an RV, I'm just lucky that the RV wasn't in tow at the time of the violent wobble. For what I read online, ford was aware of this hazard, and never shared this with me or the original owner. That is unacceptable.
