| Description of the problem | I was traveling on a county road and my speed was approximately 60mph. I hit a rough spot in the road prior to crossing a bridge. The vehicle started shaking uncontrollably and would not stop until i came to a dead stop. I almost hit the guard rail and the vehicle behind me almost rear-ended me. I have researched what happened and i have discovered this is referred to as a "death wobble" in this particular series of vehicles. I am in the process of paying to try and get this fixed but no one promises a fix. This needs to be corrected by ford motor co. I called them to lodge a complaint and they said that they had never heard of that and basically hung up on me. I'm also now aware of a class action lawsuit pending on this matter. How do i involve myself in that matter? This is a very dangerous situation, especially if circumstances exist where you have traffic on both sides and following the flow of traffic. It would be real hard to stay off one of the vehicles at your sides or keep from causing a pile-up behind you.*dt*jb |
