| Description of the problem | Driving straight down the expressway and car started to violently shake. Slowed down and exited highway, once to 20mph it stopped. Pull off and checked under carriage for any signs of problems. Noting found. Drove to dealership where i told them the issues. They stated "oh that is called the death wobble, it is on all the new ford trucks" spent $600 to stabilize front end but no guarantee that it would be fixed. This is well known problem about ford f-250 and f-350 trucks yet they do nothing about it. |
