Description of the problem | I have had multiple occurrences of "death wobble"...... Vehicle only has 12,000 miles on it..... Have done research. Seems like there is a safety bulletin out. Ford told me the parts are on backorder for fix..... People online saying even after ford fix still not fixed. I dont feel safe letting anyone else drive this vehicle.... Or me driving it above 50 mph. So basically if you hit a road joint for a bridge for example (where i have had it happen 3 times so far) it throws the front end into a rythmatic violent shake. You have to slam on your brakes and slow down to about 25mph for it to go away. I am good at recovering from it now..... But i almost smashed into the guy next to me the first time it happened..... It is very unsafe and ford has not been very helpful. Please help and make this a more known issue. I have read alot of the same stories online. I had nothing in tow during my occurrences. Thank you in advance..... |
