I would like to officially submit a complaint about our ford f250 super duty truck. There is something seriously wrong with it and the ford dealership has been unable to fix it. We have had the same issue with it for the last few years and the issue has not been resolved! We are experiencing turbulent wobbling with this truck and I can assure you this is not normal! The last incident occurred 2 days ago on may 26, 2013!
