I have a 2006 f250 that the front end shakes violently after hitting a hole or small bump in the road at 55 to 60 MPH,then you must use both hands to control vehicle and slow down to under 40 MPH or less to regain control. This is an accident waiting to happen. I am a large man 6'2" 240lbs and my fear is that my wife or someone of a smaller stature be driving when this happens and results in a fatality. This has happened several times throughout a six month period I owned the truck and is continually getting worse , by that I mean every day this past week.
Truck has a vertical vibration most noticeable between 45-50 MPH. Truck also has steering problem at high speeds such as interstate driving. An expansion joint in the highway will just about cause loss of control of the vehicle. Ford denies any problem, yet has issued tsb 07-05-11 to address the concern that a few customers may have. Apparently it is more than a few customers. This truck is dangerous on the interstate.
2006 ford f250, shakes violently to the point of losing control if I encounter rough road on the highway. So far problem occurs at speeds over 60mph.
I own a 2006 f250 4*4 and while driving at speeds in excess of 60 MPH the truck shakes violently and even sways from lane to lane, when encountering any rough place in the roadway. This is a very violent shaking and I have been fortunate enough to keep the truck from wrecking. The shaking will not stop until you have slown down dramatically or come to a stop. Ford has commented that it could be the air pressure and have ordered a steering damper to try to correct the problem. This truck has done this since day one and with the factory tires and the new tires that I have on it now. This problem needs to be addressed before someone is killed in an accident resulting from the defect in design.
Normal highway driving conditions. Speeds between 65 and 75 MPH when the incidents occurred, hit a bump or dip in road. Violent shaking of the front end, resulting in dangerous loss of control and lane changes. Had to slow vehicle down to below 30 MPH or a full stop in order to end the violent shaking. Happened more often after vehicle has been driven for long distances. Gets worse and more frequent as driving continued. First occurrence, taken to ford dealer, and they replaced defective" steering damper. Second time taken to ford dealer - they ran tcp for new alignment specs and new, improved steering damper. Third time taken to ford dealer - replaced track arm ball joint and adjusted alignment to more new specs. Fourth time at ford dealer - tsb adjusted alignment to new specs and replaced steering damper with another new, improved part. *ak vehicle is in repair shop for fifth time at this moment. No attempted repairs have lasted more than 2000 miles.
Took to dealership at approxiamtely 10,000 miles and they performed tsb's (technical service bulletins). Have taken vehicle to 2 different dealership dealers now going on the 8th time for same issue. The truck experiences a dangerous "hyper-shake" at approximately 50-70 MPH. The truck shakes violently side to side, and up and down and drifts out of lane and to correct it must apply the brakes. Steering of the vehicle is significantly impeded , and shaking continues until truck speed is decreased to approx. 30 MPH. I have done all suggestions given to me by the dealerships. Rebalance tires, checked alignment and tire pressure. I am currently taking this vehicle to ford dealership march 23, 2007 for them to try and fix the hyper-shake. This is very dangerous issue and it needs to be corrected. This vehicle is not highway safe.
I have three 2006 ford f-250 super duty's that experience the same problem. These trucks experience a dangerous "hyper-shake" at approx. 50-65 MPH. Truck shakes violently side to side and up and down, steering is greatly impeded, and shaking continues until truck speed is down to 40-45 MPH. I have re-balanced tires, checked alignment, replaced steering dampeners but problem persists.
Since it was brand new, my 2006 ford f250 bounces so severely on the highway at speeds over 55 MPH when hitting expansion joints, it has caused loss of control. This only happens on certain sections of highway. No injuries have occured yet as I have learned which parts of the highway to slow down on. But, the vehicle is not safe to drive on strange highways.
I was driving on the freeway at around 65 MPH, and I hit a pothole. After hitting the pothole (rather small), the front end of the vehicle began to shake violently out of control and did not stop until I was able to pull over to the side of the freeway and stop the vehicle. This has happened a total of 3 times so far. It has occurred at 11,000; 14,000; and 17,000 miles. Checked tire pressure and balance personally and everything was fine. Called to ask dealership about problem, they said to make an appointment to bring it in, have not done so yet.
My 06 ford f -250 experiences what seems to be normal wheel-hop on the highway (between 50-65 MPH) but the hop instantly turns into a "hyper-shake" causing complete loss of control with the truck bouncing out of the lane to wherever it wishes to go until the rear brakes manage to slow it down enough to regain control. Thank god it has not killed anyone yet (including me).it could have very easily went head-on if that is where the road was headed.
Vehicle shakes uncontrollably after hitting a bump in the road at highway speeds of 60 to 75 MPH. Vehicle must be brought to a complete stop to regain control, then rides smoothly. Vehicle was taken to the dealership to fix the problem, dealer stated that the problem did not occur during a road test of 22 miles. The service advisor states that nothing is wrong with the vehicle. This is the fourth time this problem has happened in 35000 miles. Dealer refused to test drive in a specific area were the problem has occurred multiple times. The truck is unsafe for interstate driving.
Front end and steering wheel shutters at highway speeds. Shuttering start for no apparent reason. Vehicle must be brought to a complete stop to regain control.
Dt*: the contact stated that while driving 65 MPH, the vehicle started to shake uncontrollably. The shaking was centered in the steering column. The shaking caused a loss of control of the vehicle, nearly causing a collision. The vehicle was taken to a service dealer, where the wheel bearing was changed. The repair, however, did not fix the problem.
