| Description of the problem | As many other people have reported, i experienced the "death wobble" with my 2019 f250, and it has approx 8000 miles on it. Went over a mild bump on the freeway at 65mph and the entire front end including steering wheel began to shake and vibrate violently, rocking the vehicle side to side, only stopping when i pulled over at the side of the freeway. Since then the vehicle vibrates, shakes, and rocks all the time, worse the faster you're going. Spradley barr ford dealership in cheyenne, wy said they need to replace the steering dampener but the part is on backorder with 30,000 trucks ahead of mine. It's not safe to drive, and i have no estimated time when i might get it back. It's ridiculous to be making a giant monthly payment on a truck that is not safe to drive and with no expected date when i will be able to drive it. Dealership will not return my phone calls requesting a loaner vehicle either. |
