| Description of the problem | I was driving about 55 mph on the parkway, a straight road, when all of a sudden my truck started to shake and wobble to the point i almost lost control. This happened twice and i took it to my ford dealer. They knew what i was talking about and called it the "death wobble". They checked everything in the front suspension but said nothing was wrong. It has done this 4 more times. It is all i can do to control the vehicle and get it stopped. It almost caused me to have an accident. I can not make it happen, it does it when it wants to. My ford dealer wants me to duplicate it for them. |
