I was driving about 57 mph headed NW on i270 in the north denver metro area. I went over a bridge abutment and the vehicle started shaking violently in the front end. I let off the gas but the extreme vibration/shaking continued until I slowed down to around 20 mph. I thought I had lost something in the front end. Then it happened again when I was driving between i70 and us 50 in western colorado. I was only going 30 miles an hour and hit a rotomilled section of asphalt(a perfect edge drop to the rotomilled pavement) and the violent shaking started but ended much quicker as I slowed down to about 10 mph. First incident was 8/12/23 and second incident was 8/21/23.

All super duty cab and chassis and vans also since 2011 though 2015 have had the seat moved to the center by 1 1/2 " to allow for the air bag to have room to expand, between seat and door. But they choose not to move the pedals and steering wheel over to the center 1 1/2 " . They left them off set to the seat center by 1 1/2 " to the left of center of the seat. So basicly you steer off to the left of center , which is a dangerous and it hides part of the speedometer. So you spend time struggling trying to read the speedometer , which causes you not to look at the road. This should be a major recall ///////.

Purchased brand new Ford F-550 on 11/27/06. On a road trip on 11/28/06 the wife and I noticed a vertical shimmy at 50mph. We continued to accelerate and the shimmy stopped until we hit 60mph and a horizontal shaking began. The shaking is intermittent but quite pronounced. Several trips to the dealership failed to correct the problem. At times, after hitting a bump in the road, an uncontrollable vibration with shake the entire vehicle for several seconds. The vibrations continue to this day virtually every time the vehicle is driven.
