What owners wrote
Tl* the contact owns a 2018 ford f-350 sd. While driving approximately 60 MPH and pulling a 40 foot fifth wheel, the vehicle drove over an expansion joint on the road. The front end of the vehicle began oscillating severely, bouncing across two lanes of traffic. The contact managed to pull over to the road shoulder and waited a couple of minutes before continuing to drive. While attempting to control the vehicle, the contact sustained a torn left shoulder muscle because the steering wheel shook so violently.
This vehicle violently shakes after hitting a grooved surface or a small bump in the road. The shaking takes a great deal of power to bring the vehicle back under control.
