What owners wrote
I just bought this vehicle and was driving the highway at 65 MPH. I went over the expansion joint on a bridge and lost control of the vehicle. It jumped into the next lane. Thank god no one was in the other lane and no one got hurt. My family and others could have been killed. The dealership said the steering damper was bad. I'm sorry but a bad steering damper when you are traveling 65 MPH over a small bump should not make your vehicle jump into the next lane and loose control. This must be fixed by ford.
While travelling approximately 65 MPH through a curved area of highway, vehicle hit a small bump. Vehicle began to shake violently and uncontrollably in the front end and steering wheel. Once I slowed to approximately 40 MPH vehicle stopped shaking. When I pulled over to attempt to identify problem, a woman who had been driving in the lane next to me stopped. She advised me that she saw the incident and said that my front driver's side tire looked like it was about to fall off.
