Description of the problem | My f350 has developed a death wobble over the last twelve months. Significantly worse last friday after hitting a bridge expansion at around 65mph. Very close to losing control of the vehicle and shaking did not subside until i came to a complete stop on the shoulder of the road. I have a service appointment on 17dec2020 to have ford assess problem. They said it is not covered under warranty or tsb so i would have the bear cost of repairs. Ford is guessing could be as much as $4000 out of pocket cost. Since there is a tsb out to fix newer trucks but does not cover mine and there is a class action suit pending for this with ford filed, i do think ford needs to consider this a safety issue and repair it pending suit as show of good faith and customer concern about those of us who remain loyal to the brand. |
