Description of the problem | Driving out of state, 1000 miles from home. Driving home. Entering the freeway and accelerating, the steering wheels began the "death wobble" described by so many ford owners. Exit freeway and limp back to local dealership. Local ford dealership has no parts. Nation wide back order. My family is stranded 1000 miles from home. Dealer says "just drive it and when it starts to wobble, slow down until it stops". This is not a safe option. This truck has 18,160 miles on it!! Installing after market parts just to get my family home. I do not know if this truly solved the problem. This is, in my opinion, criminal to leave people with little or no options. This is a known problem. This "wobble" at highway speeds is a major danger to all persons in the area of this truck. My family and other families may be at risk. I have paid for a truck. I want a truck that is safe and dependable. This is not acceptable. |
