| Description of the problem | While driving westbound on i-10 i was attempting to get off the north bound off ramp and the truck began to "wobble" i had no control of the steering wheel and this not being the first time this has occurred i knew not to hit the brakes. The truck continued going west, i went through two medians and hit a sign before stopping in a south bound on coming traffic lane. This has happened three documented times with two different ford dealerships and they were also given a list of other occurrences. I was told this was called the 'death wobble" and that it was a common issue. Every time the vehicle was turned in for the issue i was told they could not duplicate the issue, that possibly getting new tires or alignment may help. Nothing helped, i was just in on july 30th for routine maintenance and the recall i later found out about was not addressed. When the issue was discussed with jones ford i was told "lucky thing is no one has died from this" |
