IN BOTH CASES THE MOTORHOME LOST ITS ABILITY TO STOP THIS MOTORHOME. I WAS ABLE TO SLOW DOWN AND AVOID SERIOUS PROBLEMS. AFTER THE COMPONENTS COOLED DOWN THE SYSTEM WENT BACK TO WORKING. I HAVE HAD THE BRAKES CHECKED AND NO PROBLEMS WERE DISCOVERED. I HAVE TALKED TO FORD AND HAVE NOT GOTTEN ANY HELP.*AK

ALL F -SUPERDUTYS WITH THE 7.3L DIESEL MOTORS FRONT END SHAKING VIOLENTLY THE FRONT WHEELS ON THESE VEHICLES START SHAKING VIOLENTLY BACK AND FORTH, WHEN YOU APPLY THE BRAKE PEDAL WHEN THIS IS GOING ON IT GETS WORSE AND EVENTUALLY WILL RESULT IN A CRASH. ALL FORD SUPERDUTYS THAT I HAVE DRIVEN DO THIS AT SPEEDS OF 40-70 MPH THE ONLY WAY TO GET THIS TO STOP SHAKING IS TO COME ALMOST TO A COMPLETE STOP AND THEN START AGAIN. *AK
