| Description of the problem | While traveling with my wife and two small children north on i-25 near the e-470 exchange doing the posted speed limit of 75mph, we hit a small bump in the far right hand lane and the truck began to violently shake and wobble to the point i almost lost control and hit an 18 wheeler in the adjacent lane. I was forced to apply my brakes aggressively to try and control the vehicle. I pulled off the highway and stopped to inspect the front end. I could find nothing wrong with the tires, rims, nor the front axel. I have since spoken to the ford dealership where i purchased this vehicle from and have been given the same song and dance that i see reported frequently online regarding this death wobble experience and the dealership's involvement, or lack there of, in dealing with providing a resolution. |
