At any freeway speed if you hit a pot hole or a seam in the road on a turn, the truck will shake violently until you come to a stop. we have had ford look at this a number of times with not success in getting a solution. the truck is not safe and it has happened to multiple drivers of this truck.
When traveling usually at highway speeds and i come to a difference in surfaces a slight difference in the road say going over an overpass, the stearing wheel shakes violently. on you tube there are hundreds of videos about this problem. its very dangerous, i left the dealership today and after spending $1,300 to repair the problem i can only assume that this will be a year or two fix as the same parts will fail again. ford should solve this problem.
The rear driver side dually wheel came loose causing the driver to loose control of the vehicle. this is the second incident in six weeks with identical ford model trucks that we own and use everyday. the first incident two weeks prior the wheel fell completely off the truck causing the truck to veer out of control across a four lane highway. this model ford truck is very dangerous!!!! *tr
I have a 2011 ford sd f-350 srw with 26505 miles. on several occasions, i have experience violent front end shimmy after hitting a bump in the road or an expansion joint on a bridge or on the freeway. the vehicle requires sudden braking to bring the vehicle back in control. the front end shakes violently to the point of taking the steering out of your hands. this is very dangerous. the last time it occurred i was on a bridge. the violent movement of the front end moved me into the adjacent lane, luckily, there was no vehicle in the lane. i could have caused an accident due to this problem. *tr
