| 2005 | STEERING | MY 2005 FORD F250 SUPERDUTY CONTINUES TO EXPERIENCE VIOLENT STEERING VIBRATION WHEN ENCOUNTERING UNEVEN ROAD SURFACES AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. SINCE PURCHASING THIS VEHICLE IN AUGUST 2005 I HAVE HAD SEVERAL INCIDENTS WHERE I WAS BARELY ABLE TO RETAIN CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE ONCE THE FRONT END OSCILLATION STARTED. THIS IS A WELL KNOWN PROBLEM AND IS DOCUMENTED ACROSS THE INTERNET AND IN NHTSA ITEM NUMBER - 10028404. I HAVE HAD THE VEHICLE REPAIRED UNDER WARRANTY BUT THEY WERE ABLE TO ONLY FIX THE PROBLEM TEMPORARILY. RECENTLY I HAD NEW MICHELIN TIRES INSTALLED AND A FRONT END ALIGNMENT COMPLETED BUT THERE WAS NO IMPROVEMENT IN VEHICLE HANDLING. THIS IS A DANGEROUS SITUATION AND SHOULD BE REVIEWED AGAIN BY THE NHTSA. *TR |
