STEERING
IN FAST LANE WEST OF NASHVILLE ON INTERSTATE 40. HIT A MINOR AREA OF ROUGH ROAD AND THE STEERING STARTED SHAKING VIOLENTLY LEFT AND RIGHT. SLOWED AGRESSIVELY BUT HAD NO WHERE TO GO WITH SEMI TRUCKS ALL AROUND ME. I STILL CAN'T BELIEVE I DIDN'T CAUSE A MAJOR ACCIDENT. AT APPROX 30 MPH THE SHAKING STOPPED AND I WAS ABLE TO ACCELERATE BACK TO CRUISE SPEED. I HAVE DRIVEN THE TRUCK 9000 MILES AND THIS IS THE FIRST TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED BUT I AM VERY CONCERNED ABOUT IT HAPPENING AGAIN. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
ON APRIL 9TH 2011 MY FUEL TANK STRAPS BROKE WHILE DRIVING AT 45 MPH. THE TRUCK WAS PULLED TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND THE TANK WAS HANGING BY THE FUEL LINES AND TANK NECK. THE TRUCK IS A FORD F-250 LIGHT WITH A 24 1/2 GALLON FUEL TANK, THAT HAS 102000 MILES. I REPLACED BOTH STRAPS AT A COST OF $34.00. I PAINTED THE NEW STRAPS TO PREVENT FUTURE PROBLEMS. *TR
