| Description of the problem | Death wobble. While in the highway at speeds above 45 mph if you hit any sort of bump the front end starts shaking uncontrollably and have to slow down to about 25mph to regain control. This has happened to me over 15 times in the last month. It is very dangerous and i have almost been in severe accidents a couple times. I have had it at the shop to fix this problem. They replaced the steering stabilizer and the problem did not go away. After reading for hours online there is no effective fix for this. This seems to be a dangerous design defect that ford will not address. Please help |
