| Description of the problem | Vehicle experiences severe "death wobble" on the highway starting at speeds as low as 55 mph. I have ensured that tire pressure is set at what the vehicle manual recommends, as well as rotating tires. When the "death wobble" initiates, only slowing down to 25 mph or below will make it stop. I have experienced this in heavy traffic on i-15 between salt lake city and ogden. Fortunately, i have not been in an accident yet. Due to all of the construction happening on i-15, i have had to slow down to 20 mph in a lane with barricades on both sides, forcing the traffic behind me to slow to the same speed. I put my 4 way flashers on and do by best to slow down as rapidly as possible without causing an accident. It feels like it is only a matter of time before this causes an accident. Ford has had the vehicle twice and i still have this issue. I have scheduled a third appointment hoping that the problem will be fixed this time. Vehicle mileage provided is approximate. This has happened dozens of times since purchasing the vehicle in march of 2020. Date provided was the most recent, and most severe. |
