Complaint Summary
SUSPENSION
Owner Narrative
THIS TRUCK HAS DEVELOPED THE "DEATH" WOBBLE. IF I HIT A BUMP, BRIDGE JOINT IT WILL SEND THE TRUCK INTO AN INSTANT WOBBLE THAT IS SO VIOLENT YOU HAVE TO SLOW TO ABOUT 20MPH TO STOP IT. VERY DANGEROUS AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS AS YOU CANNOT KEEP LANE CONTROL. ALREADY DESTROYING THE FRONT TIRES AND DEALERS HAVE SAID TO KEEP PROPER AIR PRESSURE. I HAVE BEEN AN AUTO MECHANIC FOR OVER 15 YRS NOW AND THAT IS THE BEST EXCUSE THE DEALER HAS. FORD KNOWS THERE IS A PROBLEM BUT SAID THERE IS NOT ENOUGH COMPLAINTS. I HAVE DONE A SEARCH AND CAME UP WITH OVER 18,000 HITS ON GOOGLE FOR THIS TOPIC ALONE. PLEASE ASSIST WITH KEEPING US SAFE AND DEMAND A FIX AND RECALL BEFORE PEOPLE ARE KILLED DRIVING OR EVEN BEING NEAR THIS VEHICLE. *TR
