| Description of the problem | If you go over 60 mph and hit a bump or sometimes don't even have to hit a bump the whole truck and steering wheel wobbles out of control. Obviously they know about it as there is a nick name "the death wobble" for it. I took my truck in and now they want me to pay close to $800 to repair it when it is clearly a manufacturing defect that ford has known about and has tried to conceal. There is a class action lawsuit started in california. Ford should be made to recall there f250 and f350's to do the repairs at no cost to the customer. We paid a lot of money for this vehicle. They say its ok just don't drive over 60 mph. It is very scary when it happens |
