Consumer Description

WHILE DRIVING ABOUT 60MPH ON LOOP 250 HERE IN MIDLAND, TX I WENT OVER AN OVERPASS CHANGING FROM THE PAVEMENT TO CONCRETE. AT THAT POINT I COMPLETELY LOST CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE DUE TO VERY BAD FRONT WHEEL WOBBLE. I WAS ONLY ABLE TO REGAIN CONTROL BY COMING TO ALMOST A COMPLETE STOP VERY CLOSELY AVOIDING AN ACCIDENT. I HAVE NOTICED THIS DEATH WOBBLE BEFORE ON MY 2007 FORD F-250 AND NOW IT HAS STARTED ON MY 2010. I TOOK THE 2007 TO THE DEALER MANY TIMES AND THEY COULD NEVER DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM OR WOULD USE AN EXCUSE THAT THEY ADJUSTED THE AIR PRESSURE ON TIRES. THIS PROBLEM IS A MAJOR ISSUE AND WILL CAUSE SERIOUS ACCIDENTS IF IT HAS NOT ALREADY. AFTER ARRIVING AT WORK I SEARCHED THE INTERNET FOR OTHERS WITH SIMILAR PROBLEMS AND IT SEEMS ALL FORD F-250 4X4'S HAVE THE SAME ISSUE ALL THEY WAY UP TO THE CURRENT MODEL. THERE ARE TONS OF YOUTUBE VIDEOS SHOWING EXACTLY WHAT HAPPENED TO ME STATING THAT FORD WILL NOT CORRECT THE PROBLEM. SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE!
