Description of the problem | 2017 ford f-250 king ranch diesel started experiencing the "death wobble" violently shaking on the highway pulling the truck into on-coming traffic lane. There was nothing out of the ordinary that day. I was just driving on a straight-a-way highway, no weather conditions, no trailer, no load, etc.. Truck has 32,000 miles on it and is under the original warranty. However, ford has a national backlog of parts to fix the problem and the truck is not "road worthy" and remains at the ford dealership awaiting repair. Ford does not have a date for when replacement parts will be available. This is a very serious safety issue. People do not expect their vehicle to begin violently shaking at high speeds and causing the steering to not be responsive to the situation! I am afraid of this vehicle! Please take action against ford to recall and correctly fix this problem. I was lucky to not have been in a head-on collision! |
