| Description of the problem | I was driving my truck between 60-70 mph down highway 4 around a slight curve. That's when whole front of truck went into a a uncontrollable wobble, steering wheel was also shacking left to right had to slow to 30-40 mph to bring back under control. Brought to all star ford antioch ca the tech said front end felt loose that drove with me. They could not find anything wrong so they said they called ford, ford told them to do a road force balance. They say that they service manager drove my truck to and from his house two times 100 mile round trip and felt nothing wrong. They gave my my truck said it was good. As i was driving home the front end still felt loose but no wobble, good enough. Six days later the death wobble came back, same as before. Called mike ray ray service manager at all star ford, he told me he believes my but they cannot find a problem so i should bring somewhere else to look at it. I am bringing to tracy ford today, the bottom line is the truck is unsafe to drive until they fix it... |
