2010 Ford F-250 problems and owner complaints

I JUST BOUGHT THIS VEHICLE AND WAS DRIVING THE HIGHWAY AT 65 MPH. I WENT OVER THE EXPANSION JOINT ON A BRIDGE AND LOST CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE. IT JUMPED INTO THE NEXT LANE. THANK GOD NO ONE WAS IN THE OTHER LANE AND NO ONE GOT HURT. MY FAMILY AND OTHERS COULD HAVE BEEN KILLED. THE DEALERSHIP SAID THE STEERING DAMPER WAS BAD. I'M SORRY BUT A BAD STEERING DAMPER WHEN YOU ARE TRAVELING 65 MPH OVER A SMALL BUMP SHOULD NOT MAKE YOUR VEHICLE JUMP INTO THE NEXT LANE AND LOOSE CONTROL. THIS MUST BE FIXED BY FORD. I AM READING THAT OTHER PEOPLE H…
