Consumer Description

DRIVING DOWN THE INTERSTATE CRUISE SET AT 70 MPH HIT A COUPLE SMALL PATCH SPOTS AND THE THE STEERING WHEEL WENT CRAZY JERKING AROUND LIKE I HAD A BLOWOUT. I MERGED TO THE APRON OF THE INTERSTATE TO SLOW AND STOP. WHEN I WAS ALMOST STOPPED THE JERKING QUIT. I NOTIFIED DEALERSHIP AND TOOK IT TO THEM THEY FOUND NOTHING WRONG WITH THE TRUCK. I STARTED RESEARCH MYSELF AND THE PROBLEM IS KNOWN AS A DEATH WOBBLE. VERY DISAPPOINTING FROM A NEW TRUCK WITH 8000 MILES ON IT. THERE ARE SEVERAL VIDEOS OUT THERE OF THIS PROBLEM. FORD NEEDS TO ADDRESS THIS ISSUE BEFORE A BUNCH OF PEOPLE ARE KILLED.
