Consumer Description

WHEN I HIT A ROUGH PATCH IN THE ROAD WITH THE FRONT LEFT SIDE, I GET A VIOLENT SHAKING IN THE FRONT END AND ALMOST LOOSE CONTROL. CONTROL IS REGAINED WHEN YOU SLOW TO 5-10MPH. I HAVE HAD THIS ISSUE FOR AWHILE AND HAVE HAD THE FRONT END INSPECTED WITH NO DEFECTS. AFTER DOING SOME RESEARCH, THIS CONDITION HAS A NAME "THE DEATH WOBBLE." FORD HAS ISSUED 2 TSBS # 18-2268 AND #06-2214. NO ONE HAS MENTIONED THESE TSBS TO ME. THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS CONDITION AS IT TAKE CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE. I ALSO UNDERSTAND THIS IS AN ISSUE WITH OTHER HEAVY DUTY TRUCKS FROM DODGE.
