What owners wrote

The front end of my 2006 f-350 will shake when going over a bump at speeds of +65 MPH. It is almost uncontrollable. I have taken it to ford and they say there isn't anything wrong, this has happened 6 times. I have checked numerous web-sites and there are at least 500 other complaints on this subject. It is a danger to me and all the other motorists around me.

Reported at 25,000 miles, September 2007

I am having a violent shaking (steering wheel oscillation) in my 2006 ford f-350 amarillo with only 7k miles. This shaking has almost caused severe injury and or death at speeds of 35-60 MPH. The incident occurs frequently enough just not to drive the vehicle anymore. I fear for my family and others on the road near the truck as it shakes until is completely stopped wherever it occurs. Please help before others are injured or killed!
