Consumer Description

WHILE DRIVING AT POSTED HIGHWAY SPEED AND AFTER HITTING A BUMP THE FRONT END AND STEERING WHEEL HAS STARTED TO BOUNCE AND WOBBLE VIOLENTLY. THE ONLY WAY TO GET IT TO STOP IS TO SLOW DOWN TO 25-30 MILES PER HOUR. THIS PUTS YOU IN A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION. IT DOESN'T HAPPEN A LOT BUT HAS HAPPENED TO ME 5 TIMES IN THE PAST 6-8 WEEKS. AFTER RESEARCHING THIS ON THE INTERNET IT SEEMS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM IN THIS MODEL TRUCK. IT IS COMMONLY REFERRED TO AS DEATH WOBBLE. APPERENTLY THERE IS A SERVICE BULLETIN ON IT BUT I'M NOT SURE. IT MAY BE THE TSB18-2268. I PLAN ON CONTACTING MY FORD DEALER IN THE MORNING ABOUT THIS ISSUE. THANK YOU.
