| I have a ford f250 2007 4x4 diesel. went over a bump in the road and the steering wheel started shaking so bad i ran off the road. ford sent me a letter about tire pressure, but i assure you i check my tires at least once a week because i pull equipment almost daily. ford is trying to cover up something and it needs to be fixed. i have had the truck almost two years, and have had it back at the dealership 29 times in 22 months. they have an issue with either the turbo or the icp and keep telling me it is normal. i was wondering who would like to see the videos or hear the tape recordings of them telling me normal is when the truck is hoping so bad the front tires come off the ground. *tr | |||

| After about 28,000-30,000 the truck would severely buck/jerk/hop when towing a load. the problem occurs in third gear most commonly. upon acceleration up a hill, the truck has an extreme buck. the rpms raise and lower up to 400 rpm. ford has determined this action to be normal. the only way i have fond to stop this, is to let all the way off the accelerator, and then try again. the truck will then start this again, in which i have to let off. on a safety concern, this occurs on most entrance ramps to interstates, which makes for a hazardous condition trying to merge into traffic, because basically ford is telling me not to try to accelerate past second gear until i am no longer headed uphill. fords first suggestion was the trailer type, which had no effect (tsb 07-6-09), which only concerned gooseneck trailers. the truck also does this action with a bumper pull trailer. i have taken the truck in 11 times since july 2007, and the service men tell me they can feel it, there is a problem, but no one knows what it is. ford then came to the result this was normal for that truck. at 8000 miles, the truck had a bad injector, after replacing this, the dealership updated the computer. since that time the truck has not had as much power as when i purchased it. the serviceman told me sometimes these updates will change the output of the truck, or decrease the power. the truck now has a leak in the rearend, which i believe to be a result of the bucking and jerking ford is calling normal. *tr | |||

| The vehicle lacks acceleration from a standing stop, when you try to merge into traffic the vehicle hesitates and will not move for a 2 to 3 second span causing vehicles on the highway to close on the vehicle. on two occasions i had to swerve off the road to avoid a collision. *jb | |||
