“My husband and I purchased a Ford f250 lariet truck from a Ford dealership in california on 3-11-2012. Ever since we have owned the vehicle we have had problems with a wobble when on traveling on the freeway. We have had the truck in the shop on many occasions and were told we needed new tires, etc. Several times we both have experienced severe shaking on the freeway which causes us to slow way down and move to the slow lane. This is very dangerous and scary. …”
