| Product type code | VEHICLE |
| Description of the problem | When driving the vehicle down the road between 60mph and 75 mph, the front end of the truck begins to extremely violently shake; almost feeling like the wheels are quickly jumping off the ground back and forth. The vehicle becomes uncontrollable when this happens and you have to slow down to approx 30 mph to get it to stop shaking. The vehicle has only 48,500 miles on it. It was bought to ford explaining the problem, the replaced the steering stabilizer. I drove 1 mild down the road and brought it right back telling them that did not fix the issue. They told me 3 more parts that they would replace, basically telling me they didn't know but were going to do some exploring just replacing parts at my expense. This is a very common problem with this model of truck known as the "death wobble" and ford is doing nothing to fix it. It is an extremely dangerous issue that poses a threat to my family and everyone else around me on the road. Please help, this has been going on for months and gets worse the more time that goes by!! |
