NHTSA Complaint #10542833 — 2006 FORD F-250

THIS COMPLAINT IS FOR STEERING OSCILLATION, OR "DEATH WOBBLE". THE VEHICLE IN QUESTION IS COMPLETELY STOCK, WITH NO LIFT. THIS EVENT HAS OCCURRED NUMEROUS TIMES UNDER A VARIETY OF DRIVING CONDITIONS AND SPEEDS. THE VIOLENCE OF THIS HAPPENING WHILE DRIVING AT ANY SPEED IS FRIGHTENING AND DANGEROUS, PARTICULARLY AT 70 MPH ON THE INTERSTATE. FORD HAS ISSUED SEVERAL TECHNICAL BULLETINS RELATING TO THIS PROBLEM, BUT NO SOLUTIONS HAVE BEEN OFFERED BESIDES CHECKING YOUR TIRE PRESSURE. TO ME AND THE THOUSANDS OF CONSUMERS THAT HAVE HAD THIS PROBLEM, THAT SEEMS TO BE A CONVENIENT WAY TO SAY IT IS NOT A DESIGN PROBLEM THAT SHOULD BE CORRECTED, BUT OPERATOR ERROR. IT IS INCREDIBLE THAT SOMETHING THIS DANGEROUS AND POTENTIALLY LIFE THREATENING IS NOT BEING ADDRESSED BY THE NHTSA AND THAT FORD IS NOT BEING HELD ACCOUNTABLE FOR THEIR DESIGN PROBLEM. THIS IS A DANGEROUS SITUATION THAT NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED. *TR
