What owners wrote
I was simply driving down the hwy and hit a small bump in the road, my truck began to shake uncontrollably and continued to do so until I slowed way down. I made it to the next exit and dropped it off at the local ford dealership. It startled me so much that I didn't want to drive it like it was. This is the third time this has happened but the first two times were not as extreme. The dealer so far has told me they think it is tire pressure but im not buying it..
