Description of the problem | 4 months ago i was traveling at 50 mph. While driving my ford f350 superduty at that speed the truck had an extremely bad and violent shake in the steering wheel. During this time i had no steering control, braking was at a very minimal, and pulled the truck into oncoming traffic. This has happened 6 other times in the past 4 months. During this time ford mechanics have told me that this doesnt appear to be a common issue since it doesnt happen all the time. I replaced shocks, tires, and even had the suspension looked at by certified mechanics and nobody has an answer for this problem. This problem is a known issue by nhtsa and ford and nobody seems to be doing anything to fix this issue. It's getting to the point where i cannot drive my only mode of transportation for fear of causing a serious accident injuring or killing myself, my family, or someone else in the road. If an investigation is not done very soon i will seek legal action against ford and against the nhtsa for overlooking the severity of this problem. You can read all the other reports on what the internet is calling the death wabble. This is not an isolated situation and if i need to bring this to the attention of the news so it's more public i will do this. |
