| Description of the problem | My husband was driving through a road construction work zone when suddenly the steering wheel started shaking violently and jumped out of his hands . He lost control of the truck . The other drivers were able to compensate for the out of control truck and an accident was avoided . I went on to research this issue . I found a forum with many others having the same issue . My husband took it to the local dealership where they say they have no knowledge of such issues . They told him it was poor tire pressure or out of alignment . My husband had both checked and there was no problem . I fear it is just a matter of time before there is a severe accident due to this issue . The others say the vehicle continues to do the" death wobble" as it has been coined online . Please have someone look into this problem . I have also emailed ford motor company . |
