| Description of the problem | I have experienced "death wobble" in my truck 6 times in the past 3 months.. This is a violent steering wheel oscillations. As this has happened with my truck with my family in the truck my wife will no longer ride in the truck and will not allow my son in the truck. This has been to the shop more than 15 times trying to repair with no fix, last time spent more than 2 weeks at the dealer for them to not fix the issue. This needs to be addressed by ford and fixed as i am 1 of many people to experience this issue! This happens in motion speeds above 45 mph, has happened on the interstate 4 of the 6 times and 2 times was on the highway.. Last time was pulling a 9,000lb travel trailer with my family in the truck next to semi that almost cause me to completely lose control! |
