NHTSA Complaint #11120417 — 2017 FORD F-250 SD

NEW, STOCK TRUCK PURCHASED AT SUNRISE FORD IN FONTANA STARTED EXPERIENCING DEATH WOBBLE AT 7000 MILES. HAPPENS ON THE FREEWAY AT HIGH SPEEDS 65-70MPH, CAUSING THE VEHICLE FRONT END TO BOUNCE VIOLENTLY UP AND DOWN AFTER GOING OVER SMALL BUMP. THE TRUCK CONTINUES TO BOUNCE & JERK AROUND WILDLY UNTIL VEHICLE IS SLOWED TO UNDER 40 MPH. THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE WITH FORD AND THEY HAVE NOT CORRECTED THE PROBLEM. WHO KNOWS HOW MANY ACCIDENTS OR DEATHS HAVE ALREADY OCCURRED DUE TO A DRIVER LOSING CONTROL OF THEIR VEHICLE WHILE GOING A HIGH RATE OF SPEED WHILE EXPERIENCING THIS "DEATH WOBBLE"?!? A NEW VEHICLE SHOULD BE SAFE TO DRIVE, BUT THIS NEW $60,000 TRUCK WITH UNDER 10000 MILES ON IT DEFINITELY IS NOT. TWICE I HAVE BEEN TO THE DEALERSHIP SERVICE STATION TO HAVE THEM TAKE A LOOK AT IT, STATING THE VEHICLE THEY SOLD ME IS DANGEROUS AND UNSAFE TO DRIVE AND THEY HAVE SENT ME AWAY WITHOUT EVEN BOTHERING TO LOOKING AT IT. THEY SAID THEY ARE BUSY, LEAVE THE TRUCK WITH THEM AND THEY CAN GET TO IT IN 2 DAYS OR SO. I HAVE TO USE IT FOR WORK TO PULL MY TRAILER, SORRY FORD BUT THE OIL CHANGES CAN WAIT, SAFETY TAKES PRIORITY, I WILL BE TRYING AGAIN TODAY.
