| Description of the problem | My vehicle has been in the dealer four times to correct what is known as the death wobble. Ford calls it steering oscillation. The death wobble occurs at highway speeds after i drive over a pot hole, expansion joint in a bridge that is not perpendicular or any road abnormality. After multiple ford dealers repaired it i have had no issues. However, after 5,000 to 10,000 miles the death wobble begins to happen. I've escalated the issue to ford multiple times but it falls on deaf ears. I have had no modifications made to the truck to cause this to occur. The truck is 100% stock. Please help. I am a single father and this is my daily driver. |
