Vehicle begins violently shaking when a bump is hit in the road, vehicle is temporarily uncontrollable until speed is reduced. Ford has told me I need to purchased a 400 dollar dampener, however this never happen for the first few years of vehicle ownership so I am confused as to why I suddenly need to purchase new equipment to make the vehicle operate in a safe manner.

I own a 2006 ford f250. It shakes violently when I hit a pothole or go over a bridge. Truck only has 60,000 miles on it. My life is in danger. Ford needs to take care of this problem.
Ford 250 swb 4x4 2006, when crossing bridges, hitting bumps in the road or hitting pot holes, the trucks front end will go into a violent shimmy and shake episode, the only way to correct it is to slow down - this can be very dangerous on interstate or high speed roadways. Front end alignments, tire balancing, new tires and steering stabilizers have been installed.nothing stops this front of from violently shaking. Ford dealerships have been no help. This is a very dangerous problem in which ford probably needs to re-engineer the front end. Please help put some pressure on ford to make a recall on these front ends.
2006 ford f250 had violent shaking in front end after hitting bump at 70mph. Lasted approx 30 seconds. Very dangerous, scared to drive. Ford motor co claims no problem. Keep tires inflated.
1. Traveling on freeways, highway, and public roads 2. Several times a month, violent shaking in front steering 3. Our local dealer replaced a steering stabilizer strut on the front axle of the affected vehicles. Problems still occurs I am mechanic with about thirty years experience and I believe the steering gears on 2006-07 f-250 2x and 4x is defective.
Violent shaking in front suspension and wheels after hitting rough pavement at approx 65 MPH. Truck always has excessive wheel hop but extreme shaking has occurred 5 times in 66k miles. Ford technical bulletin useless for resolving problem. Dealer suggested check tire inflation, tow settings, and steering components. No results. This is a death trap. It shook two drinks out of the cupholder. Lost steering ability, crossed lanes and stopped shaking only after coming to a complete stop.
I own a 2006 f-250 ford truck. While driving on the interstate the front end of the truck started violently shaking. I almost lost control and could have been killed. This happened yet again the very same day. I took my ford truck to the ford dealership in boone and was told there was nothing wrong with my truck. They claimed it was probably due to low air pressure in the tires. After researching this problem on my own I discovered that this is quite a common problem and many many ford truck owners are curious as to why nothing has been done. After clearly telling the ford dealership that I will not accept my truck back until it has been fixed, they reveal that they do have a service bulletin about this problem and reveal to me that ford told them to change the air pressure in these trucks. This does not correct this dangerous and potentially life threatening problem! These trucks need to be recalled and have their steering dampners replaced! After five days of arguing with the ford dealership I have yet to get my truck back. I demanded a letter stating that my ford truck would be safe and that they would be liable in the event of my death due to this problem that no one will take care of! I have yet to receive their answer.
Our company has 2 ford f250 4x4 trucks (2006 & 2007)the 2006 shakes uncontrollably/violently when hitting bumps in the road. This condition has happened since we purchased the vehicle 7/05. The vehicle has been driven by several employees that have experienced this uncontrollable shake and they have all reported that the vehicle shakes so bad in the front end that they refuse to drive it again for fear of their life or someone else's. After several complaints to the dealer we took the vehicle out of service and warned the ford dealership in writing. The dealer changed the tires and sent us out the door but the truck feels no different and they told us again it had been repaired. The 2007 has been ok until recently it started the same shake and we have the same feelings about it --since we have been through heck with the 2006. Searching on the internet has been an eye opening experience--the same complaints are posted from fl. All the way to calif. And it seems from our reading that most of the complaints are being avoided or shoved off as tire size or tire pressure.
The truck (ford 2006 f250) was shaking violently to the point of almost losing complete control of it. Shaking did not stop until the vehicle came to a complete stop. This vehicle is dangerous and you need to take action immediately.
I was driving on interstate at 75 MPH when I hit a small bump in the road when my truck went violently out of control until I brought it to a complete stop almost causing a fatal accident.
I purchased a ford f250 from a dealership, I believe after doing my research that this model has a defect in it and is to dangerous to drive. If I drive over 45 MPH and I hit a pothole or a bump it violently shakes to the point where we feel we are going to tip over. We have to come to a complete stop for it to stop shaking and when you are on a freeway that is very dangerous. Ford does not seem to care about this issue and has not been able to fix it. I spent a lot of money on this vehicle and am afraid to put my 3 children in the car. Do I have to wait for someone to die for ford to handle it. I have found 1000's of people with the same problem and want to know if there is anything you can do to help us fix this.
Minor bump or dip in the road at normal highway speed leading to violent vertical bounce which causes complete loss of control of vehicle.
