| Description of the problem | Ford refers to the issue as a steering isolation problem. The public calls it the "death wobble." at highway speeds, certain bumps will set off a resonance in the front axle and steering system that makes the vehicle extremely difficult to control as the steering wheel shakes violently and the front wheels oscillate horizontally. This has happend about a dozen times over the past two years and continues to happen eventhough i have paid the dealer for expensive repairs that were supposed resolve the issue. Ford refuses to address the issue in a manner that will resolve the problem. Therefore, i have a vehicle that is dangerous to drive. |
