Entire truck starts to shake at 70 mph. Tires have been checked three times. Ford says "all pickups shake at speed with no load". Chevrolet and Dodge both say their trucks don't shake unless there is a defective tire or suspension part.

Truck wanders as if it has a mind of its own. With the steering wheel steady it wanders from left to right. We have had it in the shop 7 times since purchased and they align it each time with no change. Dealer told me at the time of purchase that he would take it back if I wasn't satisfied, but has now denied saying it.we have been through the review board process.they offered a replacement truck, but I was so afraid of getting another one that I just asked for a refund, which they refused. The gentleman that they sent to drive with me said that an alignment would not fix the problem, that it was a design problem. He said that it would be even worse if we had a heavy load in it. In his report however, he told the review board that all it needed was an alignment.the only time I drive the truck now is in an emergency situation as it is too stressful to drive on a regular basis..

Since I purchased the front end would not stay aligned and the engine would lose power the dealership would not fix it and Ford Motor Company did not care I put up with this for a year until Ford gave me $3,5000 down for a new vehicle and I no longer have the VIN indicated I traded the lemon and they ripped me off during purchase.

- Round Rock, TX, USA

Vibriation in the steering wheel at 65 mph, took to dealer at 300 miles, again at 2200 miles to another dealer again at approx 2900miles with constant vibriation in steering wheel at 70mph, Ford engineer test drove vehicle and said all Ford with a 5.4 engine had vibriation in the steering wheel. When I was orginially told this I thought I was getting a snow job, after having the tires balanced and rotated the vibriation was worst then it was when I first took it in. I drove another new F-150 and it vibriated worst then mine does. I do not think Ford should be able to put a product out knowing that it has a vibriation built into the vehicle as from what the Ford engineer said I had better get use to it and I do not think this is right at all. I also think Ford should fix these vehicle or give me back the $24,000 I spent on it. I snet a letter to Ford on 29 July 2000 and they have not answered it as of today. Thanks T at all
