| Description of the problem | Experienced steering wheel oscillation (death wobble) this has occured while driving on the interstate after driving over an uneven pavement at speeds of 55, 65 and 70mph. The steering wheel shakes violently and lost steering and braking capabilities during the event. It stopped after i decelerated to about 40mph forth until i slowed to approximately 35mph. Ford does have a tsb out on the issue but they are only replacing parts that have worn out, not the hidden issue that is causing heavy duty suspension parts to wear out so quickly. |
