| Description of the problem | Have been experiencing ford's "death wobble" numerous times. Vehicle is only 8 months old with approx 20k miles. Nothing has been changed on the vehicle since purchase date. Traveling at speeds between 55 & 75mph, and if truck encounters any deviation in road (small hole, bump, etc), death wobble can occur. Front suspension causes severe vibration; steering wheel shakes violently. Frightening experience when traveling at those speeds. Must brake to lower speed or pull over and stop completely depending on severity of shaking. Have reported this to local ford dealer on 12/11/19; they seem well aware of the issue. Was told parts to correct the problem are on back-order but should have them in 4-6 weeks. Note: the date indicated below in when did this happen is roughly when the 1st incident occurred. Have had at least 15 incidents since them. |
