| Description of the problem | There is a severe oscillation of the steering system when hitting a bump in the road, bridge expansion joint, etc. This is knows as death wobble. The vehicle shakes violently and control is lost until there is a significant decrease in speed. Mine will do this oftentimes at 40-50mph and also at highway speeds. This is a very widespread issue. Ford has been putting "band aid" on things to get it out of warranty. Further, i know there has been a redesigned damper that was to come out last week. It was scrapped and supposed to start over with the vendor. This is per conversations with the advisor at the ford dealer. It is not a one time occurrence. |
