I have a 2008 ford f-350 that I experienced a violent, shuddering, vibration at approximately 75 m.p.h. On interstate-75 yesterday, 09/19/2020, that almost caused me to crash. I looked online and there are many, many people who have and are experiencing the same, dangerous problem. I firmly believe that there should be a recall of the affected f-250 and f-350 vehicles and ford should repairs these vehicles before anyone is injured or killed, if there hasn't been such a trajedy or tragedies already.

While driving over 40 MPH if a bump or pothole is hit the truck bounces or shakes violently at the front. The truck had previously done it one other time. This time the truck was traveing about 55 MPH on a 2 lane highway when I hit a dip in the road and the truck started violently bouncing and went across the opposite direction side of the highway. Luckily no other car was coming but damage was done to the front of the truck when it went to the opposite side of the roadway. I have since parked the vehicle until it can be found what caused the problem. I will have to contact the insurance co about the front end repair but not until it is safe to drive.

After hitting a bump in the road, the truck will shake violently and attempt to get out of control. The only way to correct this is bring the vehicle speed down to under 20 MPH. This problem began occurring sporadically about one year ago and has gotten consistently worse. It is so sever that I have decided to park the vehicle out of a concern for safety. I had the vehicle inspected at the local ford dealership approximately 3-4 months ago and they said everything was fine. Today, I received in the mail a notice marked "special field action 09l02" that says the problem is due to tire inflation. I have the proper size tires and I keep them properly inflated. After researching this, I have noticed that this problem dates back to 2005 and ford has sent this same notice out many times. It is not a tire problem. I believe it is a known suspension problem and it is dangerous. This needs to be a mandatory recall and it needs to be paid for by ford. I called their service line today and was told my vehicle wasn't part of any notice or recall. The paper I got today says "this notice applies to your vehicle" and goes on to give my VIN #. It is a big problem and now it has a big cover-up to go with it.
