| Description of the problem | While driving over bumps, rough patches, uneven railroad tracks the vehicle steering wheel will start shaking violently. Impossible to control unless the speed is reduced dramatically (below 20mph on a freeway). After doing some internet research is a common trouble with this type of truck. Is called "death wobble". I sent an email to ford and i have not heard back. It's a dangerous problem and needs to be fixed. |
