Consumer Description

THIS IS PROBABLY ABOUT THE 30TH TIME MY FORD F-350 HAS HAD A DEATH WOBBLE. THIS TIME I WAS DRIVING ON HIGHWAY 69 BETWEEN PRESCOTT VALLEY AND PRESCOTT WHEN IT STARTED. IT WAS SHAKING SO BAD THAT I ALMOST LOST CONTROL AND HIT THE MEDIAN. THE OTHER VEHICLES MUST HAVE NOTICED THE VEHICLE SHAKING BECAUSE ALL OF THE TRAFFIC AROUND ME BACKED WAY OFF. ONCE AGAIN I REPORTED IT TO FORD AND TOOK IT IN RIGHT AWAY. THEY TOLD ME AGAIN THAT IF IT DID NOT DO IT FOR THEM THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO FOR ME AND SENT ME HOME WITH MY VEHICLE. THIS SEEMS TO BE A PROBLEM WITH THE FORD F-350 BUT FORD REFUSES TO RECALL OR FIX IT. I FOUND TONS OF INFORMATION ONLINE ABOUT THE ISSUE AS WELL AS YOUTUBE VIDEOS TAKEN OF THE EVENTS HAPPENING. *TR
