Consumer Description

THE TRUCK VIBRATES AT 36 TO 44 MPH. VIBRATION IS WORSE AT 41-42 MPH. THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN RETURNED TO THE DEALER THREE TIMES. I HAVE CONTACTED DAVID WRIGHTSMAN, FIELD SERVICE ENGINEER, FORD CUSTOMER DIVISION, ATLANTA REGIONAL OFFICE. HE HAS DRIVEN THE TRUCK AND STATES THAT CORRECTING VIBRATIONS IN THE F150 SERIES IS A "BLACK ART". FORD HAS A BULLETIN OUT ON VIBRATIONS. SERVICE BULLETIN 99-11-1, NHTSA ITEM NUMBER: SB606433. I HAVE FOUND OUT THAT THIS PROBLEM HAS EXISITED FOR SOME TIME. MY CONCERN IS THAT THE VIBRATION IS WEARING ON UNKNOWN COMPONENTS OF THE TRUCK AND WILL CAUSE A FAILURE AT AN UNPREDICTABLE TIME. THE TIRES ARE IN BALANCE AND RUN TRUE AND ARE NOT THE CAUSE. MY DEALER HAS SAID THEY WILL CALL ME IF THEY COME UP WITH A SOLUTION
