| Description of the problem | The truck at 55 - 65 mph goes into what has been describe as a death wobble. The truck starts shaking violently. It is all you can do to keep control of the truck until you slow down to about 40 mph which is dangerous on the freeway. Ford has a defect in the steering on these trucks and it needs to be fixed. I fear for my family's safety. The ford dealership cannot fix it. It has been doing this since about 12000 miles. It now has 100000 miles and still has not been fixed. It has been doing this since about 2008. *kb |
