| Experienced severe vibrations and shimming after hitting a bump in the road. had to bring the truck to a complete stop before i could go on. i though i must of had a flat tire, but no. took the truck to the dealer, they said they tightened some things and adjusted the tire pressure. a couple of months later it happened again. i went straight to the local garage to have the tires checked, but the tire pressure was fine. it continues to happen about twice a year with no reason, just depends how i hit a bump on the road. it usually happens when crossing a bridge on the interstate. this last time in october 2011, i was crossing a bridge on interstate pa 80 in the passing lane, when it happened. i was all over the road before i could stop. i was fortunate that there were no other vehicles around, or it would have been a disaster. i was ready to take the truck back to the dealer, and tell them, its to dangerous to drive on the interstate. i got this letter from ford discussing this issue. they are correct stating a severe vibration, but totally wrong saying this condition results from significant tire under-inflation. i've never driven my truck with significant tire under-inflation. this shimming cannot be taken lightly, but that was the impression i got from the dealer. i wonder how long ford really new about this issue. i should be on record back at my dealer soon after i got the truck with this exact issue. | |||
