“Traveling on a paved road. Speed limit 45 MPH. It was raining. No puddling was encountered. I entered a slight left turn and encountered a washboard type bump. Immediately, the front of the vehicle vibrated excessively. I released the gas pedal and pushed slightly on the brakes. The rear of the vehicle started to vibrate and the rear axle lost traction allowing the rear of the vehicle to swing violently to the right. I immediately went to the Ford dealership where I purchased the vehicle less than 10 days ago. …”
