While traveling on the highway at 65-70 mph my vehicle will go into a violent shimmy if it hits any sort of road bump (such as bridge expansion). This happens everyday in this vehicle. It will not go away until i slow the vehicle down to 45 mph. *tr

While driving at highway speeds, bumps in the road surface cause a violent shimmy. Truck has stock suspension and oem tires. Tire pressure is per ford specification (as indicated on the door pillar). Seems ntsb has investigated and determined the issue is due to suspension modifications or low tire pressure. This is not the case with this truck. All stock and deadly. Ntsb needs to reopen their investigation before…

2005 f350 diesel dually this vehicle needs to be recalled! The letter that ford sent to owners is not accurate! It is not the tire pressure of the vehicle causing the severe shake!

The vehicle has been checked after an event and…

The f350sd has a shimmy when you hit a dip in the road or a bump. This is violent enough for concern that it'll cause an accident. It doesn't go away on it's own you have to come to a stop or get to about five miles an hour for it to reset. This has happened multiple times. I have had the local front end shop replace the front steering components, even though the components came with in spec that ford says is safe…

I had brought it back to dealer to have serviced and they told me "there is no problem, that's what you get from a heavy duty truck." what a load of crap! I have paper work documenting the truck went to dealer for steering out of control. Since then the shaking has caused me to replace ball joints and other…
