I HAVE A 2006 F250 SUPERDUTY XLT, THE VEHICLE VIOLENTLY SHAKES IN THE FRONT END WHEN I HIT A SMALL BUMP AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS, ANYTHING OVER 50 MPH, SO BAD THAT I THINK MY DOORS ARE GOING TO POP OPEN. I DO LOSE BRIEF CONTROL, AND LET OFF THE ACCELERATOR TO GAIN CONTROL WITHOUT BRAKING. I HAVE RECEIVED A LETTER FROM FORD REGARDING THIS ISSUE STATING TO CHECK TIRE PRESSURE. I HAVE COMPLIED WITH THIS BUT STILL IS A FACTOR REGARDLESS. I DO NOT HAVE THE EXTRA MONEY TO DO ANY EXPENSIVE UPGRADES OR REPAIRS. THIS IS A FORD ISSUE! THEY NEED TO FIX THIS PROBLEM BEFORE IT KILLS MANY PEOPLE. THIS STARTED WHEN THE TRUCK WAS FAIRLY NEW AND IT ONLY HAS 38,000 MILES NOW. THIS IS A PROBLEM ALL OVER THE US THAT NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED! I CAN'T GIVE A DATE BECAUSE IT HAPPENS ALL THE TIME! *TR

I HAVE OWNED MY 2006 FORD SD SINCE DECEMBER 2008. SHORTLY AFTER WINTER DURING HIGH WAY DRIVING I EXPERIENCED VIOLENT SHAKING IN THE FRONT END AFTER HITTING A POT WHOLE. I NEARLY LOST CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE WHICH COULD HAS CAUSED A SERIOUS ACCIDENT. I RECEIVED A NOTICE FROM FORD EXPLAINING THAT I NEED TO KEEP THE TIRE PRESSURE AT THE RECOMMENDED LEVEL OR IT WOULD CAUSE THE SHAKING. BUT THE AIR PRESSURE DID NOT CORRECT THE PROBLEM. I BECAME TOO AFRAID TO DRIVE THIS VEHICLE ON ANY EXPRESS WAYS AND LIMITED DRIVING IT IN TOWN AND NON-EXPRESSWAY ROADS. AFTER A YEAR AND A HALF THIS VIOLENT SHAKING, I HAD TO BUY ANOTHER VEHICLE BECAUSE I BECAME TO AFRAID THIS VEHICLE WOULD CAUSE A SERIOUS ACCIDENT. I STILL OWN THIS VEHICLE BUT I ONLY TRUST IT IN TOWN DRIVING. *TR
