| Description of the problem | When driving this truck, if you hit a pothole or any uneven surface, the truck will shake violently and it's all over the road. It takes all the strength in my body just to hold onto the steering wheel, and the only way to stop it is come almost to a complete stop. Someone's going to get killed, because when it start to shake, you have know control over the direction it's going to go. From what i've read on the net, this shake is called the death wobble and for good reasons. I also heard that ford had known about this defect for years, but want do anything except give you the run around. |
