| Description of the problem | The truck i bought has been shaking since the day i picked it up and brought it home. At 55 mph the truck has a distinct wobble. It has been back to sharpnack ford twice for the problem and i was told they drove four other trucks on their lot and they all do the same thing. Also they took the tires off of mine and swapped them with another truck with the same result. I was told they took the drive shaft apart and rebuilt it, still no fix. After two times back to the shop, i was told by the head mechanic that ford told him no more repairs will be done to this truck. I can see the bed wobble as i am going down the road and am confident this is where the problem is. Ford is not willing to do anything about it claiming the frequency is within specification limits. I have also driven a 2012 and a 2013 and both of them do the same thing. I'm not sure this is a problem that will cause imminent danger to anyone unless you factor in the"road rage" someone will have after paying 45k for a brand new piece of garbage that the manufacturer refuses to do anything about to fix. |
