| Description of the problem | While driving down the interstate under normal conditions, the truck unexpectedly starts what is called the "death wobble". The steering wheel and the truck starts to shake uncontrollably, and the only solution to fix the problem is come to a very slow speed or a dead stop. This is very unsafe, especially when it happens on a major interstate. There are a ton of complaints out there regarding this matter, and several videos out there regarding this matter. Ford needs to issue a recall on this matter, as it is extremely unsafe, and someone will be injured or die because of this. My truck is pampered, and only has 55k on it, so this isn't because of abuse. |
