Consumer Description

PURCHASED 2011 F-250 86000 MILES ON IT. GOING HOME ON THE HIGHWAY RIGHT AFTER I BOUGHT THE TRUCK WE WENT OVER A ROUGH PATCH OF ROAD AND THE TRUCK VIBRATED AND SHOOK SO BAD WE NEARLY LOST CONTROL. HAD TO STOP ON A BUSY HIGHWAY SHOULDER AND LOOK TO SEE IF WE HAD A FLAT TIRE. NOTHING OBVIOUS BUT BROUGHT IT TO OUR MECHANIC ANYWAYS A COUPLE DAYS LATER. EVERY BUMP ON THE ROAD WILL NOW CAUSE THIS REACTION AND AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS COULD BE DEVASTATING. OUR MECHANIC IS GOING TO TRY A NEW STEERING STABILIZER AND FRONT AXLE JOINTS BUT I FEAR THIS TRUCK HAS THE DREADED "DEATH WOBBLE". VERY DANGEROUS ISSUE THAT FORD WILL NOT ADDRESS.
