Component | STEERING |
Product type code | VEHICLE |
Description of the problem | Typical highway driving over minor abnormalities in roadway at speeds over 50 mph can cause the steering to shake violently and will continue unless/until you brake nearly to a stop. This happens without warning and has nearly caused several collisions by me personally. There is no steering control until you have brought the vehicle to a stop. This condition is commonly known as a death wobble. Ford has a tsb on it but they are simply replacing defective parts to get past the warranty period and not solving the true cause of the problem. If not cured properly, lives will be lost because of this known flawed design. Please don't let this kill anyone (else?)!!! |
