  SUSPENSION, STEERING

  PURCHASED BRAND NEW FORD F-550 ON 11/27/06. ON A ROAD TRIP ON 11/28/06 THE WIFE AND I NOTICED A VERTICAL SHIMMY AT 50MPH. WE CONTINUED TO ACCELERATE AND THE SHIMMY STOPPED UNTIL WE HIT 60MPH AND A HORIZONTAL SHAKING BEGAN. THE SHAKING IS INTERMITTENT BUT QUITE PRONOUNCED. SEVERAL TRIPS TO THE DEALERSHIP FAILED TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM. AT TIMES, AFTER HITTING A BUMP IN THE ROAD, AN UNCONTROLLABLE VIBRATION WITH SHAKE THE ENTIRE VEHICLE FOR SEVERAL SECONDS. THE VIBRATIONS CONTINUE TO THIS DAY VIRTUALLY EVERY TIME THE VEHICLE IS DRIVEN. *TR

  SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC

  TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 FORD F550. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE BRAKES FAIL WHEN DRIVING DOWNHILL OR ON ANY SURFACE. THE BRAKES CAUSE THE VEHICLE TO BUCK VIOLENTLY WHENEVER THE BRAKE PEDAL IS DEPRESSED. THE DEALER COULD NOT DETERMINE THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE; HOWEVER, THEY SWITCHED SOME PARTS IN THE VEHICLE. THE FAILURE PERSISTS AND IS BECOMING WORSE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 29,000.
