“Ford f250, 2005 superduty - front end shakes violently when driving over a road imperfection (bridge transitions, bumpy roads etc..) I've brought it back numerous times after the first steering shim recall and made calls but have gotten no where. They told me tire pressure , buy new tires and there is nothing they can do! Now my truck is out of warranty they say bring it in we'll fix it. Ford should be ashamed of themselves! I never knew about this complaint sight before, I wish I did then.”
