Example complaints

“While driving home from work, just leaving town I hit 50 MPH and the truck starts to wobble from side to side and vibrate till I slow down to under 40 MPH. I got the notice from Ford telling me it all had to do with tire pressure. I inflated the tires to the required pressure and it only made things worse. I have contacted them the first time this happened only for them to tell me there is nothing wrong. Clearly there is a problem. I have spent so much money replacing parts in the front end of this truck. Tires are now junk on the front end. …”
