I was towing a car hauler at approximately 65 MPH on I-94 outside of chicago, il when my vehicle began to veer slightly to the right and cross into the other lane. I tried to correct steer to the left and my vehicle did not respond. I began to cross into the next lane of traffic and I began to spin the steering wheel even harder to the left with no change in direction. I realized that I had a loss of steering and began to apply the brakes to avoid hitting the barrier on the side of the road. I ended up crossing four lanes of moderately heavy labor day traffic with zero steering control and came to rest within inches of the retaining barrier on the side of the road.

Hit a bump on the road and my front end started shaking violently. Had difficulty controlling the vehicle until reducing speed to approximately 35 to 40 MPH at which point the shaking stopped. Notice a slight shimmy whenever making a right hand turn (negotiating right curves on the highways). Tire inflation has been checked and not the issue. This vehicle has not been used off-road or abused.it has a crew cab and was purchased to transport personnel and supplies.

I would like to officially submit a complaint about our ford f250 super duty truck. There is something seriously wrong with it and the ford dealership has been unable to fix it. We have had the same issue with it for the last few years and the issue has not been resolved! We are experiencing turbulent wobbling with this truck and I can assure you this is not normal! The last incident occurred 2 days ago on may 26, 2013! I have children and feel that our lives were especially in danger when we rode in this truck as we thought this issue was resolved and no longer existed. As we were driving on the interstate highway we drove over an uneven section of the highway and our truck suddenly started shaking dangerously out of control! Thankfully my husband was able to control the steering wheel and stepped on the brake to slow it down, otherwise who knows what would have happened! There was traffic everywhere and we were lucky enough not to have an accident! Then it happened again a few hours later when we again drove over an uneven section of the interstate. I have experienced enough of these threatening episodes and I am very concerned as this is absolutely not normal and I can honestly say there is something very wrong with this vehicle. This is a safety issue and people can and will lose their lives over this if this is not resolved immediately! I have contacted ford headquarters to submit a formal complaint and they merely told me to continue working with the dealership that has unresolved my issue. I trust that you will take this complaint seriously as lives are at stake because of this issue.

Driving my 2007 f250 sd and hit a bump, front end started to shimmy. Slowed down and the shimmy stopped. Had received a letter from ford motor company giving information about the front end shimmy. Since the first incident, it has occured numerous times. My truck is currently at 87000 miles and the shimmy happens numerous times a day when I hit bumps/dips in the road. Diesel shop tells me to keep tires inflated properly, rotate and balance tires as well as proper alignment and have the steering dampner replaced. Steering dampner is brand new (3 months old), tires are at proper inflation and balanced as well as alignment done and the front end still vibrates, sometimes violently to where it is tough to control until speed drops under 40 MPH. Still waiting on a fix for this issue as the shimmy is daily and is getting worse and I get the same textbook answer from ford everytime I call (tires, inflation, alignment, steering dampner). I'm afraid that the vibration will get to the point that parts will start becoming loose/break and cause an accident.
