The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic where the hood and the front end were replaced, but the failure persisted. The local dealer was not contacted. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not contacted. The failure mileage was approximately 42,000.
AT 55 MILES AN HOUR ON ROUGH PAVEMENT, THE TRUCK BEGIN TO VIOLENTLY SHAKE BACK AND FORTH. THIS SHAKING AND JERKING CAUSED ME TO ENTER INTO THE ONCOMING LANE OF TRAFFIC. IN ORDER TO REGAIN I HAD TO SLAM ON THE BRAKE PEDAL CONTROL THEREBY GETTING THE SPEED DOWN TO 40 MILES AN HOUR. FORD SUGGESTED I CHECKING THE BALL JOINTS AND THE STEERING STABILIZERS. AFTER SPENDING OVER $600 IN PARTS (NOT COVERED BY WARRANTY)AND REPLACING THE WHOLE FRONT END LINKAGE, THE VEHICLE THEN DROVE FINE UNTIL I REACHED ANOTHER 45 THOUSAND MILES OR APPROXIMATELY 90 THOUSAND MILES TOTAL ON TRUCK. NOW IT HAS REPEATED THE SAME PROCESS ALL OVER AGAIN THROWING ME INTO THE OPPOSITE LANE OF TRAFFIC. THE REASON FOR PURCHASING A NEW TRUCK IS TO HAVE A SAVE VEHICLE TO USE FOR PERFORMING MY JOB. THIS TRUCK HAS ALL ORIGINAL EQUIPMENT AND HAS NOT BEEN ALTERED IN...
