Consumer Description

MY TRUCK, WITH 41,000 MILES , IS SUFFERING WHATS BEING REFERRED TO ONLINE AS THE " DEATH WOBBLE ". THE SYMPTOMS BEGAN AT AROUND 21,000 MILES AND IT HAS GROWN STEADILY WORSE. IT HAPPENS WHEN HITTING BUMPS OR BRIDGE EXPANSION JOINTS AT HIGHWAY SPEED, FORCING ME TO SLOW TO APPROX 20 MPH TO REGAIN CONTROL, WHICH IS VERY UNSAFE ON A CROWDED HIGHWAY. THE DEALER I PURCHASED THE TRUCK FROM NEW SAID IT IS NOT A WARRANTY ITEM AND MAY NOT EVEN BE COVERED UNDER MY ADDITIONALLY PURCHASED 10 YEAR 100,000 MILE EXTENDED WARRANTY. THE TRUCK IS ESSENTIALLY UNSAFE AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS AND MY WIFE WONT EVEN RIDE IN IT. FORD IS IGNORING A HUGE PROBLEM WITH THEIR PRODUCT , PEOPLE HAVE ALREADY BEEN HURT , SOMEONE IS GOING TO BE KILLED! PLEASE HELP!! I HAVE AN APPOINTMENT AT THE DEALERS SERVICE DEPARTMENT FOR TUEDAY , 10-23-18. THEY HAVE INFORMED ME THAT ANY WORK THEY DO MAY BE ON MY DIME , WHICH JUST BLOWS MY MIND. AGAIN , PLEASE INTERJECT INTO THIS ISSUE BEFORE SOMEONE IS KILLED AND TO SAVE THE BUYERS FROM HAVING TO PAY FORD TO ADDRESS THIS OBVIOUS ENGINEERING MISTAKE.
