| Description of the problem | Upon hitting a bump at 30 to 40 mph , steering veers from side to side, also known as the "death wobble"very unsettling to say the least,after some research online i was shocked to see that other ford 4x4 owners have the same thing. I found a company that says the steering geometry is wrong and have a fix, wc motorsports (508-203-9450)this should not be happening , my truck has under 40,000 miles and i am afraid to drive it. It is obvious that something is wrong and ford has been ignoring for years. What do i do ? Do you want to buy it? [xxx] information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u. S.
