2006 FORD F-250 SD Complaints

I OWN A 2006 FORD F-250 EXT CAB TRUCK AND I AM EXPERIENCING A HYPER-SHAKE IN THE FRONT END AFTER HITTING UN EVEN SURFACES. THE HYPER-SHAKE MAINLY HAPPENS WHEN GOING SPEEDS OVER 50 MPH. I LIVE ON A DIRT RODE WITH LOTS OF POT HOLES AND EVEN WHEN DRIVING SLOW THE FRONT END BOUNCES ALL OVER THE RODE.I BROUGHT THE TRUCK TO A FORD DEALER AND THEY FOUND AND REPLACED THE STEERING STABILIZER. IT HAD A SLIGHT BEND IN IT. IT HELPED A LITTLE BUT TRUCK STILL SHAKING WHEN HITTING ANY BUMPS. THE SHAKE IS VERY DANGEROUS ESPECIALLY ON THE HIGHWAY. WHILE EXPERIENCING THE HYPER-SHAKE YOUR BRAKES DO NOT SLOW IT DOWN QUICK ENOUGH AND I VEERED INTO ANOTHER LANE WHILE GOING 65MPH. *TR

WHEN DRIVING WHEN YOU GO OVER A BUMP ,RXR CROSSING OR MAN HOLE COVER THE FRONT END OF THE VEHICLE SEVERELY SHAKES TO THE POINT YOU HAVE TO JAM ON THE BRAKES OR WRECK. I REPLACED THE STEERING STABILIZER AS INSTRUCTED TO BUT THE OUTCOME HAS NOT CHANGED. I HAVE CALLED FORD NUMEROUS TIMES,BOTH THE DEALER AND FORD MANUFACTURER. THEY BOTH ACT LIKE THEY HAVE NEVER HEARD OF THIS SEVERE PROBLEM. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 FORD F-250 SUPER DUTY. WHILE DRIVING 70 MPH, THE STEERING WHEEL SHOOK AND MADE A RATTLING NOISE. THE CONTACT HAD DIFFICULTY CONTROLLING THE STEERING WHEEL. IN ORDER TO STOP THE SHAKING, THE VEHICLE HAD TO BE SLOWED DOWN TO A MINIMUM SPEED OF 50 MPH. THERE WERE NO WARNING LIGHTS ILLUMINATED ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. THE FAILURE HAS OCCURRED FOUR TIMES. THE DEALER STATED THAT THE AIR PRESSURE IN THE TIRES CAUSED THE SHAKING. THE CONTACT RECEIVED A LETTER, WHICH STATED THAT HIS MAKE AND MODEL VEHICLE WAS EXPERIENCING ISSUES WITH THE STEERING. THE VEHICLE WILL NOT BE REPAIRED BECAUSE IT IS NOT UNDER WARRANTY. FORD IS AWARE OF THE FAILURE, BUT REFUSES TO ISSUE A RECALL. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 20,000 AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 64,000.
