| Description of the problem | I was driving my ford 2015 f-250 in motion. After stopping at the stop sign, i proceeded to enter the highway and i was starting to accelerate to highway speed. The steering wheel started to wobble a lot back and forth and i could drive the truck safely. I was able to slow down enough while steering wheel was wobbling back and forth to get the truck under control and stop. I was able to get home and park it. I took the truck to my mechanic and he told me that two ball joints are loose and they should not loose to the touch. He also told me that the tracker bar is loose to the touch. All three items should be tight. I uploaded the photo i took at the repair shop showing the ball joint. Please have ford do something about this dangerous action. |
