Product type code | VEHICLE |
Description of the problem | I have had my truck in on 3 different occasions to ford dealerships to have the death wobble corrected on the suspension system. The first (2) repairs were under warranty and the 3rd repair was just over the 36k miles and was not covered under warranty and had to pay out of pocket. This is a major safety issue due to the loss of control along with having to do sudden braking to get the vehicle under control. Cars that were behind me had to swerve to get out of the way and i have had 2 near incidents that i was almost hit by another vehicle. I cannot believe that this has not been a safety recall by ford and i am very frustrated that this issue has been going on for so many years with out holding ford responsible. I have lost days of work along with costs of rental vehicles while my vehicle was in the shop for repairs that did not correct the issue. |
