| Description of the problem | Death wobble. Violent shaking occurs around 45mph. It has occurred on smooth roads and highway as well as slightly bumpy roads. Hard breaking is needed to get it to stop, or return to a normal driving feeling. It is not safe to drive when this occurs. This is a family vehicle and it scares me have them ride with me. Not only that, the other drivers safety if the truck was to lose control. Now i feel like we have a vehicle that is not safe for us, and these problems ford won't fix leaves us with a truck that we cannot get rid of due to the problems without pushing it onto someone else and putting their lives in danger. This is my first complaint. I did not know what was going on. I took it to my mechanic to have them check out my symptoms. They reported everything was good and tight. Tires were rotated and alignment performed, this did not fix or help the problem. After further research, and stories, it became very clear. This should be a recall issue. The truck only has 28000 miles on it. To new to be having these types of issues. |
