Complaint Summary

STEERING

Owner Narrative

THERE IS A SERIOUS ISSUE WITH THE STEERING THAT MY MECHANIC SAYS IS CALLED THE DEATH WOBBLE'. I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AND THE STEERING BEGAN TO WOBBLE UNCONTROLLABLY. MY FRONT TIRES ARE NEW, STEERING COMPONENT ALL TIGHT AND INFLATION IS ACCURATE. I PULLED TO THE AIDE OF THE ROAD AND ALMOST CRASHED. THE 'WOBBLE' OCCURS SPORADICALLY AND IS NOT PREDICABLE. IT HAS OCCURRED 6-7 TIMES IN THE TWO YEARS I HAVE OWNED THE TRUCK. I AM EXTREMELY CONCERED AS IT IS MY ONLY TRANSPORTATION. MY MECHANIC IS SAYING IT IS A MANUFACTURER DEFECT AND FORD NEEDS TO ADDRESS.
