| Description of the problem | On 11-15-2019 while on hwy i-95 south, at about 72mph , my f250 started shaking violently at the front end after going over slightly rough patch of road. The shaking was so violent that i lost control of the vehicle for a few minutes. Vehicles near me had to avoid me until i was able to slow down to about 25mph. Had i been on a curvature , i would have surely crashed. On 11-17-2019 , i experienced the death wobble again on at about the same speed , this time i was with a colleague on the passenger side, the shaking was very scary and worrying. This problem with the f-250 trucks is apparently not uncommon, we pulled over and did a google search , it appears that this problem is nothing new , but ford has not made consumers aware of it ,and continues to sell the vehicle with out informing the public. Do people have to die first ??? Please help. [xxx] information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u. S. C. 552(b)(6). |
