Owner report 10825180 · 2016-02-09 (February 9, 2016)
WHILE DRIVING BUMPS IN THE ROAD CAUSE SEVERE SHIMMY. I HAVE HAD NUMEROUS TIMES WITH A TRAILER ON BACK THAT IT CAUSED THE TRAILER TO WHIP AND CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. ALSO VERY DANGEROUS WITHOUT THE TRAILER AS WELL. I MAINTAIN PROPER TIRE INFLATION AND THIS HAS VERY LITTLE EFFECT. I HOPE FORD WILL FIX IT BEFORE TOO MANY PEOPLE GET KILLED. THIS HAS BEEN A PROBLEM EVER SINCE I BOUGHT IT USED IN FEBRUARY OF 2010.
