| Description of the problem | Purchased this 2019 f250 3/4 ton heavy duty long box in may. It has had the death wobble 4 times now, three times into the dealership. This has happened on dry smooth pavement going at 65 mph or better, once towing a living quarters horse trailer on icy roads. The dealer now has the truck for an "undetermined" time as they don't know what to do with it. I have listened to and read a lot of youtube and threads that this s a mojor problem and ford has not issued a recall. I wonder how many people have to be killed or injured before something is don. They issue a recall on a tail gate or seat problem but not on something as serious as thee front end suddenly becoming so dangerous as the "death wobble" and bouncing all over the road without being able to control it......... Why ford the dealer installed aftermarket stabilizers, dind't help, then ford product stabilizers and it still didn't help, now it's in the shop till who knows when. I am terrified to drive it for fear of when it might happen again. |
