Description of the problem | On four separate occasions the vehicle has gone into an uncontrollable front end wobble upon hitting rough pavement on the interstate at speeds of 70-75 mph. The wobble causes the vehicle to shake violently for approximately 3-6 seconds and can only be stopped by gradually reducing speed. Steering is not functional during the wobble. The first two times (october 2019) the vehicle was towing a trailer. The last two times (december 2020) the vehicle had only two passengers in the cab and a few pieces of luggage in the bed of the truck. In may 2020 ford installed a steering linkage damper to correct the problem. That obviously did not solve the problem, and following the december 2020 incidents, substantial front-end repairs were required. The vehicle only has 36k miles on it. |
