| Description of the problem | This vehicle and many more like it are experiencing what ford motor company is calling sustained steering wheel oscillation , when it is actually a death wobble that if not gotten under control immediately will lead to loss of control, which may involve serious injury or death, ford address this in tsb 19-2274 however they are not doing enough to make parts available to correct this dangerous condition. . I do not personally own one of these vehicles but i as a service manager at a ford dealer have seen that problem first hand over and over . There is no reliable avenue for us to contact ford for them to take us seriously so i hope this will not fall on deaf ears and action will be taken to prevent possible wrecks and fatalities . [xxx] being that i am a manager at a ford dealer i wish to have my identity protected due to possible backlash over this report [xxx] information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.
