Description of the problem | It's apparently called the death wobble, you are driving at freeway speeds hit a pothole, bump on bridge overpass, ect. Wheels start shaking violently, steering wheel shakes back and forth violently. It's very hard to keep control of the truck. Very scary and dangerous. I had my dealership work on the problem after the first time i noticed it probably about 19 months ago. Didn't have trouble for awhile. Recently coming home after thanksgivinig it occurred 3 times on the 2 hour ride home. Called my dealership, they're aware of the problem with these models. Them supposeded part fix is back ordered and has been for awhile. My truck was new from the factory, $75,000 truck , all stock , i sure hope ford is made to fix these right. I try to avoid driving vehicle on freeway, can't let my girls drive it. Was't aware it was such a wide spread problem till i googled it on the internet. There is thousands of complaints on there . This needs to be fixed asap or people are going to get killed. |
