SUSPENSION, STEERING
F250, SUPER DUTY, 3/4-T, 4X4, 4WD, SHORT BOX. ALL SPEEDS IT IS NOTICEABLE. AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS (75+ MPH), ENCOUNTERING BUMPS, SEVERE SHIMMY IN FRONT END, NEARLY CAUSING LOSS OF CONTROL OF VEHICLE. FLEET OF 7 TRUCKS ALL EXPERIENCE SAME, SOME WORSE THAN OTHERS. DEALER HAS DONE ALL POSSIBLE TO REMEDY, INCLUDING AFTERMARKET HEAVIER DUTY FRONT STEERING STABILIZER (AT OUR EXPENSE). INCIDENT DATE IS LAST DATE IT OCCURRED TO MY CRUISER TRUCK. IT HAPPENS EVERY TIME A BUMP IN THE HIGHWAY IS ENCOUNTERED WITH EVERY TRUCK OUR DEPARTMENT BOUGHT FOR USE AS LAW ENFORCEMENT VEHICLES. THE MAGNITUDE OF THE WOBBLE IS DEPENDANT ON THE SPECIFIC TRUCK AND THE SPEED TRAVELED. REALIZE THAT AS LAW ENFORCEMENT RESPONSE VEHICLES, OFTEN THIS INVOLVES VERY HIGH SPEED. THE HIGHER THE SPEED, THE WORSE THE PROBLEM.

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
DT: THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 FORD F250 SUPER DUTY DIESEL. WHILE PASSING ANOTHER VEHICLE THE VEHICLE'S ACCELERATOR BECAME STUCK AND A LOUD NOISE WAS HEARD FROM UNDER THE HOOD. THE VEHICLE THEN SUDDENLY STOPPED AND THEN IT STOPPED ACCELERATING. WHILE DRIVING FURTHER, THE CONSUMER TRIED TO SPEED UP THE VEHICLE TO SEE IF THIS WOULD HAPPEN AGAIN AND IT DID. IT POPPED AND THEN VEHICLE STOPPED ACCELERATING. THIS WOULD HAPPEN AT SPEEDS AROUND 40-55 MPH. THE DEALERSHIP CHECKED THE CODES, BUT COULD NOT FIND ANY CODES FOR THE PROBLEM. THE MECHANIC TOOK IT HOME OVER NIGHT AND NOTHING HAPPENED WHILE HE WAS DRIVING IT. SINCE THEY COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM THEY TOLD THE CONSUMER TO COME AND PICK UP THE TRUCK. *AK THE CONSUMERS FOOT WAS NOT ON THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL. THE CONSUMER HELD DOWN THE BRAKE PEDAL TO TRY TO HOLD THE VEHICLE IN PLACE, THE LOUD NOISE WAS HEARD. *SC THE CONSUMER EXPERIENCED UNWANTED ACCELERATION. *JB
