| Description of the problem | I noticed the wobbling when i just purchased the vehicle, but i was too busy and thought it might need an alignment. It was getting worse. On 11/18/2019, when i was driving and hit a bump in the interstate, the front end started wobbling very badly. I slowed down and it stopped. It happens more and more often. I took it to the ford dealer that i bought the vehicle from. They said it was a damper assembly default. They told me this default damper assembly should be a recall, but it has not been announced by the authorized authority so i would have to pay to get it replaced. It is very unsafe to drive the vehicle, but i have no choice since i don't have another vehicle. The default part is on back ordered. I called the dealer today. They said the part would not be in until 12/17 or later. |
