| Description of the problem | While traveling down the highway, my truck experienced the death wobble. While driving, it started to shake so violently and almost caused us to hit the center median concrete wall. Then maybe 150 miles later, it did it again. Each time losing control almost causing a wreck on the highway. So on our way back home. I decided to drive more than 10 miles under the speed limit. I was doing 55 and the speed limit was 70. It happened two more times. As i have researched today only, this is happeneing a lot and many people lives are being put at risk. This issue needs to be escalated to ford and they should be forced to issue a recall and fix this issue instead of giving their customers the run around. |
