Consumer Description
AS REPORTED FROM PREVIOUS OWNERS, DEATH WOBBLE HAS HAPPENED A NUMBER OF TIMES. I GET WOBBLE AT DIFFERENT TIMES IN DRIVING. I HAD DRIVEN 240 MILES ON THE HIGHWAY WITH NO PROBLEMS. AS I APPROACHED A TRAFFIC LIGHT TO MAKE A LEFT TURN, THE STEERING WHEEL STARTED TO WOBBLE AND FELT LIKE IT WANTED TO LOCK UP. I PULLED OVER TO CHECK FRONT WHEELS WITH NOT NOTICING ANYTHING WRONG STARTED DRIVING AND WOBBLE WAS GONE. THE STEERING WHEEL HAS STARTED DOING MORE OF THE "DEATH WOBBLE" AT ANY SPEED. I SPOKE WITH THE FORD DEALER AND THEY DIDN'T HAVE AN ANSWER. WHEN YOU SPEND $65,000.00 AND THIS HAPPENS THE MANUFACTURER SHOULD BE SENDING OUT RECALL NOTICES. THE MANUFACTURE KNOWS ABOUT THIS AND CHANGED IT ON NEWER VEHICLES SO THEY MUST KNOW WHAT THE PROBLEM IS. LET'S HOPE NO ONE GETS KILLED OR SERIOUS INJURED FROM THE DEATH WOBBLE. IS FORD READY TO FIGHT THIS IN COURT ON A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT? MY VEHICLE HAS 149,000 MILES ON IT AND STARTED AROUND 130,000 MILES.
