Description of the problem | At speeds around 70 mph, when a series of bumps are driven over the truck begins to shake violently and continues until the speed drops to around 20 mph. When it happened to my wife it shook so badly she crossed centerline and was in the opposing traffic lane. The steering wheel shakes violently as well. This is the second time it has happened and this is a nearly new truck. From searching the internet it appears this is a problem that has been brought to ford's attention and is called the"ford death wobble". If not fixed we will not be able to keep the truck it is so dangerous. |
