| Description of the problem | On highway - the front-end and steering wheel began to wobble back and forth, uncontrollably and violently required breaking to around 20 mph before gaining control. It is described on both the internet and some dealers as "death wobble" this happened three times over a seven (7) hour drive from co to ok at speeds of 70, 65 and 60mph. Ford motor co refused to buy back the vehicle and refuses to admit there is an issue. I asked them to buy back the vehicle. They would not. I sold the vehicle back to the ford dealer at a $13,000 loss. I will look forward to joining the class-action law suit when filed as it is a matter of time verses "if" one will be filed. No pictures... Just google "ford death wobble" |
