Description of the problem | While driving my truck down the highway it shakes violently when hitting bumps or transitions. This death wobble is unsafe, when the death wobble starts i cannot maintain my lane of travel, steer, or brake. This vehicle is unsafe for my family as well as the other motorists driving next to us. Ford acknowledged that my truck has this issue. They state they made a new part to help correct it but it is 6-8 weeks on back order. Ford stated it is a known issue and they have a bulletin to try to correct it. If this is a know issue why wasn't i ever notified of a recall? I do not have confidence that the new part that will instal will correct this issue. I am fearful to have to let my family drive in this truck again in the future. My truck is currently sitting at the dealer until they can get parts to try and fix it. I have video proof of the shaking (death wobble) while driving down the highway |
