I have a 1995 ford f-250 super cab 4x4 on many instances I have been driving down the road and hit a minor bump and my truck begins to violently shake so bad I have to pull over. Ford has told me to get an alignment and that will fix the problem, I did and the problem still exists on doing some research I have found out that the problem seems to be a factory defect on a vast range of years. Ford needs to fix this problem.

Severe corrosion of brake lines that connect calipers and cylinders to tee fittings results in the rupture of the metal lines and results in the complete and immediate loss of the normal brake system. The latest failure is the brake line that connects master cyclinder to proportioning valve. I have replaced the forward and rear brake lines 3 (three) times since purchasing the truck in 1995. The loss of the vehicle's brake system is a severe safety hazard.
