| Description of the problem | Experience excessive oscillation in the steering wheel, referred to me at the dealership as the "death wobble". Have taken this to dealership 5 times and on the 4 visit i was told that the "steering stabilizer" was bad. They installed a new stabilizer and i assumed it to be fixed. Several months later i experienced the same issue, driving on interstate 40 at aprox. 75 mph and violent shaking of the steering wheel which i had to pull off of the road to stop. This has happen several times since the proposed fix was done. In december i received a letter from ford customer satisfaction program 20n04 stating an extended warranty on steering linkage "one-time repair program". The last time i took to the dealership they told me that the new stabilizer had been installed and there was no more that knew to do. Part was replaced and it is not fixed!! |
