| Description of the problem | Driving down the interstate cruise set at 70 mph hit a couple small patch spots and the the steering wheel went crazy jerking around like i had a blowout. I merged to the apron of the interstate to slow and stop. When i was almost stopped the jerking quit. I notified dealership and took it to them they found nothing wrong with the truck. I started research myself and the problem is known as a death wobble. Very disappointing from a new truck with 8000 miles on it. There are several videos out there of this problem. Ford needs to address this issue before a bunch of people are killed. |
