Example complaints

Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.

“Our 2005 Ford f-350 super duty, (with less than 50,000 miles) continues to have instances of extreme front end shaking when crossing bridges and going over any size bumps in the road, (big or small). When this happens, the vehicle is 'out of control'!!! This is a severe and dangerous problem that Ford needs to recall. It is clear that this is an ongoing issue with this vehicle. Is it going to take a fatal crash to get the attention from the Ford manufacturer????? Or a class action lawsuit???? …”
