| Description of the problem | I am getting a death wobble. I bought it in to the dealership around 50 thousand miles on the truck and asked them to check in to this. They told me i need to change the tires. Which i did and i rotate them every 5,000 to 10,000 miles. I was driving down the highway to night at 70 mph which is the speed limit. I was in a transition from the freeway to bride and that little bump put me into a death wobble. I had no control of the truck which the steering wheel shakes violently and the whole truck shakes. The only way to get it to stop is bring to a dead stop. Which i had to do on the freeway almost getting rear ended by a semi truck. This was the final straw. It happen to me 2 times more on the way home. Luckily there was no one behind me. I know i am not the only one experiencing it. Ford has been giving me the run around. I am afraid every time that i hit a bump its going to happen. I paid a lot of money for this vehicle and it is unsafe for road use. I don't know what to do if i sell it i will lose money. This needs to get addressed very soon before some one is killed or i am killed behind the wheel. |
