| I have a 2001 ford f250 sd crew/4x4 and there is something wrong with the front end steering system. today was the second time that my truck began to shimmy and shake so hard that at 55mph by the time i got the truck slowed to about 15mph i was over into the lane of the on coming traffic (luckly no one was there). the other day with my wife in the truck we turned a corner and the truck started to shimmy really hard and i lost some response control of the truck the steering became somewhat unresponsive, and i was forced to allow the truck to track into the baily post office parking lot. something is wrong with my truck but the mechanics tell me that there is nothing wrong with it that they can find. the truck does not do this all the time, it comes and goes, sometimes it happens almost every time i drive it and then it can go weeks without happening. i worked as a mechanic for 25 years and i am telling you this is a very dangerous problem with this truck and i know that you have received hundreds maybe even thousands of complaints about this same problem with the ford f-series trucks and ford should be held accountable for such a bad design flaw that can causes a light shimmy to total loss of control of these trucks at any time while driving, which may cause serious harm or even death to the owner. my wife will not even ride in the truck any more because she is too scared to do so. thank you for time and consideration. gary *tr | |||

| The clutch hydraulics spontaneously failed while driving in traffic. one day the clutch was perfectly normal. the next day, i was driving to the store and the clutch pedal stuck to the floor a couple times. i had to manually lift the pedal. even with the pedal depressed, the clutch began to engage. there is no evident leakage. the vehicle has 90k miles, mostly highway. i believe this happened at around 20k-30k miles but corrected itself. i can't find a record of the repair but now that it is happening again, i recall it happening before. vehicle is now in shop. *jb | |||
