Recent steering complaints filed with NHTSA, shortened. Personal details are removed.

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…
