| Description of the problem | I purchased from ford a brand new f-250 which is experiencing what is commonly referred to as the "death wobble", any internet search will turn up this situation. The truck for safety reasons and fear of death has been parked for 1 year. The truck shakes, wobbles, vibrates, and hops violently at freeway speed with dealerships treating these conditions as mysterious or non-existent! |
