Front end is not straight, grill and hood do not line up. Took to dealer, and they said that was how vehicle was designed.
I have a vibration at 45 miles an hour. It feels like the truck is woobling side to side. You must be at a constant speed. I can also feel a vibration at 65 to 70 miles an hour. Also at 70 when I hit a bump it feels like the truck keeps bouncing for a second after it hits. The dealer has balenced the tires 4 times and has changed the tires and rims also. The Ford rep said it is normal and is not a defect. I don't believe that trucks are designed to shake. Ford said they don't have to do anything more. (tiresize: 265/70r-17).
When vehicle reaches and exceeds 70 mph vehicle jumps and sways from side to side. Dealer has aligned vehicle twice.
