| Description of the problem | I have been having this problem for almost a year now and have read thousands of other complaints that is the same issue. This truck all most killed me again today. It goes into a "death wobble" when you hit a bump if you are over 55mph. If you anrt expecting it to happen and it is the 1st time you experience it you will wreck! I have contacted several dealers and no one seems to know about or heard about it but there is thousands of complaints online and also have received a letter from ford stating to check tire pressures! I have done what they said + had new shocks, had new tires, struts checked, ball joints checked, and rear suspension looked at. Nothing is wrong ... This is clearly a factory problem and it needs to be taken care of before people start dieing from it! Is ford going to raise my children when this makes me wreck and die ... No they are not so they need to get this taken care of. Reports say that they have changed the set up on newer heavy duty trucks because of this so why aren't they taking care of the one's they already sold to the public! Please help... You can find tons of info if you search " death wobble or death shake! |
