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.

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.
