What owners wrote
My accident in a parking deck is on security recording at the beau rivage casino in biloxi, ms I think. Ford cannot explain why a wheel broke off at 8 MPH. I caught an 18" h x 6" w x 24' l steel traffic control device with the outside edge of my front driver's side tire. I don't know how fast I was going but the tape does. I think it less than 10 MPH. I am pretty sure I was braking when it happened. I was on a down ramp and there were other cars.
The entire truck will vibrate at any speed with cause unknown. The area dealership examined the truck but was unable to determine a cause. While at the dealership the owner was made aware of two similar f150 pickups with the same intermittent vibration. Please provide details.
