| Description of the problem | I have a 2005 ford f250 sd pickup truck that has 25,000 miles on it. I has begun to experience a violent front end shaking at highway speed when going over even the smallest of bumps. You need to almost stop in the middle of the highway to make it stop. The dealer says they don't know of any problems and so does ford. But looking on-line it is very obvious that this is a real issue and needs to be recalled. It is also referenced as "death wobble". |
