Description of the problem | The pickup truck was purchased brand new from the dealership, and it is inherent to what is known as the "death wobble." this mainly happens when the vehicle is on the highway generally while in the speed between 55 and 60 mph, during a course of slight turn either to the right or to the left when impacted by a slight bump, the truck goes into a violent shaking. The attempt of applying the brakes would make the symptoms worse. The attempt of increasing speed would again make the symptoms worse. Steering is almost none existent as the steering wheel is shaking profusely. Ford manufacturer is aware of this issue, yet no resolution by them. The dealership has been given ample opportunity to fix the truck, but they have not been able to. The problem continues and is also plaguing other similar vehicles. The link attached here will show you two separate episodes of what happens and how dangerous this vehicle is to the public. I encourage you to view them, as it is jaw dropping. Http://vid1108.
