Description of the problem | Death wobble started at 13k miles. Dealership changed various parts in front end and fixed the problem. At 21k death wobble was back. Dealership changed steering damper. Problem was fixed. 33k its back. The damper is not sufficient for the truck. Once the damper is worn, death wobble happens at speeds over 45mph when truck its a bump in the road. Uncontrolable front end shaking forces driver to slam on brakes until about 25mph when shaking stops. This is terrifying and has almost caused several accidents. This is all over the web. I am not the only person experiencing this. Please, please please look into this. I am petrified to take the truck back out on the highway. The dealership wont fix it until they experience the problem, but wont drive the truck long enough. What they fixed twice, clearly is not sufficient and it has gone again. Somebody is going to get hurt or killed if ford don't fix this. The truck has never been off road, or abused in any way. |
