Consumer Description
MY HUSBAND WAS DRIVING THROUGH A ROAD CONSTRUCTION WORK ZONE WHEN SUDDENLY THE STEERING WHEEL STARTED SHAKING VIOLENTLY AND JUMPED OUT OF HIS HANDS . HE LOST CONTROL OF THE TRUCK . THE OTHER DRIVERS WERE ABLE TO COMPENSATE FOR THE OUT OF CONTROL TRUCK AND AN ACCIDENT WAS AVOIDED . I WENT ON TO RESEARCH THIS ISSUE . I FOUND A FORUM WITH MANY OTHERS HAVING THE SAME ISSUE . MY HUSBAND TOOK IT TO THE LOCAL DEALERSHIP WHERE THEY SAY THEY HAVE NO KNOWLEDGE OF SUCH ISSUES . THEY TOLD HIM IT WAS POOR TIRE PRESSURE OR OUT OF ALIGNMENT . MY HUSBAND HAD BOTH CHECKED AND THERE WAS NO PROBLEM . I FEAR IT IS JUST A MATTER OF TIME BEFORE THERE IS A SEVERE ACCIDENT DUE TO THIS ISSUE . THE OTHERS SAY THE VEHICLE CONTINUES TO DO THE" DEATH WOBBLE" AS IT HAS BEEN COINED ONLINE . PLEASE HAVE SOMEONE LOOK INTO THIS PROBLEM . I HAVE ALSO EMAILED FORD MOTOR COMPANY . *TR
