Description of the problem | My truck has developed the "death wobble". It has been in to the ford dealer for repairs for this issue. The dealer performed the tsb from ford and replaced the front stabilizer. That has failed to correct the issue. Yesterday, 1/2/2020, i was crossing a bridge when the truck went into the death wobble. The truck began to shake and vibrate violently almost causing me to wreck myself and another vehicle. The death wobble lasted about 20 seconds and stopped once i was able to slow the vehicle almost to a stop on a major interstate. This condition is well known by ford but they have yet to find a solution. I paid $70k for this truck and i am now afraid to drive it for fear of my life and the safety of others. |
