Dealer confirmed death wobble replaced all 4 steering links, steering shock, checked alignment and set toe. 10/22/19 truck now has 41,000 miles and the death wobble has returned. Waiting to hear from dealer. This is a major safety concern of loosing control of vehicle. I have a video of the death wobble. Please take action on this issue i know that nhtsa has heard of this problem before. Ford does not have a fix. This is the second ford that i have had that had this issue. The dealer told me the 2019 models do it as well. Ford needs to be held accountable. Both death wobbles i have experienced vehicle was in motion at speeds of 60-65 |
