STEERING, SUSPENSION
I OWN A 2006 F250 4*4 AND WHILE DRIVING AT SPEEDS IN EXCESS OF 60 MPH THE TRUCK SHAKES VIOLENTLY AND EVEN SWAYS FROM LANE TO LANE, WHEN ENCOUNTERING ANY ROUGH PLACE IN THE ROADWAY. THIS IS A VERY VIOLENT SHAKING AND I HAVE BEEN FORTUNATE ENOUGH TO KEEP THE TRUCK FROM WRECKING. THE SHAKING WILL NOT STOP UNTIL YOU HAVE SLOWN DOWN DRAMATICALLY OR COME TO A STOP. FORD HAS COMMENTED THAT IT COULD BE THE AIR PRESSURE AND HAVE ORDERED A STEERING DAMPER TO TRY TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM. THIS TRUCK HAS DONE THIS SINCE DAY ONE AND WITH THE FACTORY TIRES AND THE NEW TIRES THAT I HAVE ON IT NOW. THIS PROBLEM NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED BEFORE SOMEONE IS KILLED IN AN ACCIDENT RESULTING FROM THE DEFECT IN DESIGN.

TOOK TO DEALERSHIP AT APPROXIAMTELY 10,000 MILES AND THEY PERFORMED TSB'S (TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETINS). HAVE TAKEN VEHICLE TO 2 DIFFERENT DEALERSHIP DEALERS NOW GOING ON THE 8TH TIME FOR SAME ISSUE.

REBALANCE TIRES, CHECKED ALIGNMENT AND TIRE PRESSURE. I AM CURRENTLY TAKING THIS VEHICLE TO FORD DEALERSHIP MARCH 23, 2007 FOR THEM TO TRY AND FIX THE HYPER-SHAKE.

SINCE IT WAS BRAND NEW, MY 2006 FORD F250 BOUNCES SO SEVERELY ON THE HIGHWAY AT SPEEDS OVER 55 MPH WHEN HITTING EXPANSION JOINTS, IT HAS CAUSED LOSS OF CONTROL. THIS ONLY HAPPENS ON CERTAIN SECTIONS OF HIGHWAY. NO INJURIES HAVE OCCURED YET AS I HAVE LEARNED WHICH PARTS OF THE HIGHWAY TO SLOW DOWN ON. BUT, THE VEHICLE IS NOT SAFE TO DRIVE ON STRANGE HIGHWAYS.

VISIBILITY:WINDSHIELD
2006 FORD F250 PICKUP. ON 1/14/07, I NOTICED THAT THE RUBBER SEAL AROUND THE WINDSHIELD WAS BEGINNING TO LIFT FROM THE VEHICLE BODY (NEAR THE TOP OF THE WINDSHIELD). I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO MY DEALER WHO HAD A WINDSHIELD PROFESSIONAL INSPECT THE RUBBER. ON 1/23/07, I WAS NOTIFIED BY MY DEALER THAT THE WINDSHIELD PROFESSIONAL GLUED DOWN THE LIFTED PORTION AND THAT IF THERE WERE ANY ADDITIONAL PROBLEMS, IT WOULD NOT BE COVERED BY THE MANUFACTURER'S WARRANTY. NOTHING HAS BEEN ALTERED ON THE VEHICLE TO CAUSE THIS. IT IS A MANUFACTURER DEFECT AND FORD IS CLAIMING THAT IT WAS DAMAGED DURING USAGE. THROUGH FURTHER RESEARCH, I LEARNED THAT FORD CROWN VICTORIA'S HAVE A SIMILAR PROBLEM THAT RESULTED IN A SERVICE BULLETIN. I AM DEMANDING THAT THE ENTIRE WINDSHIELD ASSEMBLY (AND SEAL) BE REPLACED UNDER WARRANTY. *JB

MY 06 FORD F -250 EXPERIENCES WHAT SEEMS TO BE NORMAL WHEEL-HOP ON THE HIGHWAY (BETWEEN 50-65 MPH) BUT THE HOP INSTANTLY TURNS INTO A "HYPER-SHAKE" CAUSING COMPLETE LOSS OF CONTROL WITH THE TRUCK BOUNCING OUT OF THE LANE TO WHEREVER IT WISHES TO GO UNTIL THE REAR BRAKES MANAGE TO SLOW IT DOWN ENOUGH TO REGAIN CONTROL. THANK GOD IT HAS NOT KILLED ANYONE YET (INCLUDING ME).IT COULD HAVE VERY EASILY WENT HEAD-ON IF THAT IS WHERE THE ROAD WAS HEADED. *JB
