Consumer Description

THIS STARTED IN MARCH 2014. TERRIBLE STEERING WOBBLE (DEATH WOBBLE) AT HIGHWAY SPEED. LAST NIGHT IT WAS HORRIBLE AS I WAS PASSING A CAR ON I-29 ON A BRIDGE AND WE GOT THE WOBBLE AFTER GOING OVER A BRIDGE JOINT. I HAD TO STAB THE BRAKES TO SLOW DOWN AS THE TRUCK STEERING WAS OUT OF MY CONTROL. SEVERAL VEHICLES BEHIND ME ALSO HAD TO NAVIGATE AROUND ME AS I TRIED TO TURN THE VEHICLE TO THE SHOULDER. THIS TRUCK IS DANGEROUS AT HIGHWAY SPEED! THIS HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES WHILE GOING DOWN THE INTERSTATE. I'M SCARED TO DRIVE THE TRUCK ANYWHERE BUT AROUND CITY STREETS. TO MY KNOWLEDGE THIS IS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM WITH ALL SUPER DUTY TRUCKS WITH A STRAIGHT FRONT AXLE AND COIL SPRINGS. I WANT FORD TO ADMIT THERE IS A PROBLEM AND FIX THESE ISSUES. IT'S A FIXABLE ISSUE THAT THEY WON'T ADDRESS. FOR $50,000 I DON'T THINK I SHOULD HAVE TO PAY FOR THEIR ENGINEERING GEOMETRY BLUNDER. *TR
