Consumer Description

I HAVE HAD THE FORD TRUCK DEATH WOBBLE, I BARELY MISSED A HEAD ON COLLISION BECAUSE OF IT. THIS HAS NOW HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES, IT STARTS UNEXPECTEDLY WHEN GOING 55 TO 60 MPH AND HIT A SLIGHT PUMP OR UNEVENNESS ON THE ROAD THE FRONT END OF THE TRUCK GOES INTO TO A SEVERE VIBRATION AND WOBBLE THAT RAPIDLY GETS WORSE AND MAKE THE TRUCK UNCONTROLLABLE AND VARY DANGEROUS. THE ONLY WAY TO STOP THE DEATH WOBBLE IS TO IMMEDIATELY SLAM ON THE BREAKS AND COME TO A COMPLETE RAPID STOP. I CANT BELIEVE THIS HASN'T ALREADY BEEN TAKEN CARE OF BY FORD GIVING HOW MANY OF US OUT HERE ARE EXPERIENCING THIS ISSUE. WHEN THIS TRUCK GOES INTO TO THIS VIOLENT WOBBLE IT IS VARY DIFFICULT TO CONTROL, I AM A 240LB MALE AND ALMOST COLLIDED HEAD ON WITH AN ONCOMING CAR, IF MY WIFE WAS DRIVING THIS TRUCK WHEN THIS HAPPENED HER AND THE PEOPLE IN THE ONCOMING CAR WOULD HAVE MOST LIKELY DIED!
